Paragon Industries has the manual for the Q11A Kiln on the product page: http://www.paragonweb.com/Q11A.cfm . The direct link to the manual is currently http://www.paragonweb.com/files/manuals/IM-112_E_&_Q_Inst_&_Service_Manual.pdf . The manual covers several models of Paragon kilns.

I hope this helps.

Do you mean the Dawson LT-3K kiln sitter, a control and monitor for the ceramic kiln? The manual for this is on the product page: http://www.paragonweb.com/ManualInfo.cfm?CID=42 . The direct link to the manual is http://www.paragonweb.com/files/manuals/ACF1B.pdf .

If you need information about the kiln, then please check that model number and add a comment with that information. If your kiln is from Paragon, then try http://www.paragonweb.com/Instruction_Manuals.cfm for a manual. Paragon makes the Dawson LT-3K.

I hope this helps.

unplugged with nO power cord connected,,after checking for any internal blown fuses, inspect circuit board for burnt resistors or blown caps, the resistors will appear to be laying on there sides and have multi colored bands around them look for burnt or discolored ones, blown capacitors will look like tiny barrels with lids a flat top indicates a good capacitor as any humped or bulged or rounded top would indicate blown cap , if not more than a couple you may be able to replace these with success, be careful always Unplug from power before servicing electronic componants.

EITHER blown caps or burnt internal fuses, look around on the circuit board for capacitors with rounded or humped ends, find and check internal fuses and test them

Pam best to remove if you can, could be a contaminate.

On their website, it does not say exactly who manufactures their cotrona tables.

You should contact them and ask them this question directly. I'm sure they'll be happy to answer. Here's the link to contact them: www.potterybarn.com/customer-service/?cm_type=fnav

If fuse keeps blowing that means that there is a shortage on AC wiring or switch controlling the air conditioner.

Also an abnormal power draw from AC caused by an internal fault on AC can cause the fuse to blow.
Test wiring and switch with a voltmeter, the most common is that there is a short to ground between wiring and car body somewere.
