KILN PLACEMENT AND INSTALLATION
All kilns should be located in an area free from flammable materials such as drapes, boxes, paper, spray
cans, paint, gasoline, etc. All kilns must be located a minimum of 18 inches from every vertical surface. Do not
place any kiln under any overhead obstruction such as cabinets, shelf, drapes, hanging plastic, etc., and never lean
anything against your kiln. Do not store anything between the kiln and a wall or under your kiln; keep these areas
clear at all times. Keep material off the top of your kiln; do not use the lid as a shelf.
Recommended floor surfaces include cement, ceramic tile with cement grout, brick, or stone. If it is
necessary to put your kiln on a synthetic or wooden floor, use a sheet of fireproof material underneath your kiln
and extending 24" beyond the kiln in all directions. A layer of hard firebrick is also acceptable for this purpose.
Floor coloration may be sensitive to heat.
Good housekeeping must be maintained at all times in the kiln area for safety.
Your kiln must be fired on the metal stand provided; it has been designed specifically for the height and
weight of your kiln. Do not use any other stand. Be sure to center the kiln on the stand so that it is stable, and posi-
tion it so that the cord does not touch the sides of the kiln, which will be hot during firing. It is also important that
the stand and kiln be level (use a bubble level for this purpose), otherwise there is a possibility of pieces of ware
falling during firing. Screw the stand to the kiln with the screws provided.
Use your kiln only in a well ventilated room. Vapors containing poisonous gases are possible when firing
certain materials. Do not breath fumes from kiln when firing.
ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Proper electrical wiring is necessary to safely and efficiently operate a kiln. Even though the
voltage is a full 120 volts or 234 volts at the meter, the voltage on which the kiln operates will be somewhat lower
at the kiln location. Make sure your electrical outlet has the correct electrical capacity and voltage to handle your
kiln. It is necessary to measure the voltage at the location of the kiln with the kiln turned on. Voltage drops occur
on all wiring. Proper electrical wiring will provide an adequate operation voltage and current at the kiln without
significant voltage drop. (Voltage may be temporarily low during brownouts especially on a hot day in the summer
when all your neighbors have their air conditioning turned on and during peak electrical usage periods in your area).
If the wire coming from your power source to the kiln is too small or too long the kiln will not operate properly,
even if the wire meets national electrical safety codes. If the voltage is low, the kiln may not reach the maximum
desired temperature or will fire too slowly. This may reduce element life. 230 volt and 240 volt kilns may be used
with 220 volt to 245 volt power.
Do not attempt to change the receptacle on an existing line without using the services of a licensed
electrician. The electrician will know whether the wire size is correct. It is advisable to use a larger wire size than
absolutely necessary to prevent voltage drop, especially if the run to the meter is long. The increase in cost is usu-
ally very small compared to the long term savings in firing times and line loss (voltage loss). Never cut the plug
off and replace it. If the plug becomes damaged, change the entire cord with a CRESS factory supplied cord which
will meet temperature as well as electrical requirements. The outlet must be in good condition or heating of the
cord and plug cap will occur. Do not use an extension cord at any time.
Temperature rating specifications as well as the electrical rating requirements for your kiln are listed on a
decal on the kiln. Your electrician must make sure all local codes are met with your house wiring. Your licensed
electrician is responsible for meeting the requirements for the local and national codes.
