The bigger the door, the deeper the de-rate. You will find at least one retailer showing 2,000°F on this model; that is an error, and it would have you fire 300 degrees past what the door is rated for. 1,700°F is plenty for fusing and slumping — if you need 2,000°F for casting, buy the plain 11\/4.5 and give up the front door.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"d-faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"d-q\"\u003eWhat electrical circuit does it need?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"d-a\"\u003e120V single phase, a 13-amp draw and 1,560 watts on an ordinary NEMA 5-15R three-prong outlet — identical to the plain 11\/4.5, and Jen-Ken's owner's manual confirms the two builds share one electrical specification.
