I have an ancient 11" Paragon hex that I use for fusing, and when I was having some trouble with my DIY controller I ran it plugged directly into the line power (not the controller), to try to isolate the trouble. I forgot and left it on for a week (I know, I'm cringing thinking about it! I walked into the shop and thought "why is the peephole glowing?") and it was at something like 2000. My point is, it handled that fine for a week. I imagine it depends on the element rating, so you might want to do a similar test and see if yours can hit that temp.
