THREE YEAR LIMITED KILN
WARRANTY
L&L Kilns are warranted to be free of defects in workmanship
for a period of three (3) years, starting on the date of
original purchase from L&L Kiln Mfg., Inc. (L&L) or from an
authorized L&L distributor or dealer, subject to the following
terms and conditions, including but not limited to, the
exclusions and limitations set forth herein.
1) A sales receipt is required for proof of purchase.
2) In addition, L&L may require you to deliver defective parts
to L&L for examination to determine the applicability of these
warranty provisions. DO NOT DISCARD PARTS BEFORE
CONTACTING L&L FOR INSTRUCTIONS. FAILURE TO
ADHERE TO L&L's INSTRUCTIONS, INCLUDING THOSE
CONTAINED IN THE INSTRUCTION MANUAL AND AS
STATED HEREIN, WILL VOID THIS WARRANTY.
3) L&L will replace or repair any defective part that is
covered by this warranty and sent freight-prepaid to L&L.
L&L will prepay return shipping cost without charge in the
Continental United States.
4) On-site labor is not part of this warranty and is not
covered by L&L. Any warranty labor provided by Dealers
and Distributors is provided at their own discretion and
expense.
APPLICATION
Applies to Easy-Fire, Easy-Fire XT, Jupiter, DaVinci, Easy-
Load, Doll/Test, JH Series, Quad-Pro kilns, Fuego and
Liberty-Belle kilns when used for non-industrial ceramics
and glass.
EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS
The following are examples of items that are not covered by
and/or circumstances that will void L&L's warranties:
1) Use of elements and/or other parts other than
genuine L&L Kiln parts.
2) Kiln warranty may be voided by firing materials that
introduce harmful atmospheres into the kiln. Atmospheres
containing carbon, reducing atmospheres (caused, for
example, by introducing carbonaceous gasses or solids
like graphite or paper into the kiln), binders from lusters and
decals, wax burn out effluents, florines, halogens, acids,
metal oxides, and salts are some of the corrosive and
harmful atmospheres that will damage a kiln. Most ceramic
processes will release some of these harmful constituents
into the kiln and venting will prevent most of the problems
that those processes would cause. Also, depending on the
concentration of the harmful gasses, kiln source ventilation
(such as our Vent-Sure) may limit the damage to the kiln.
It is the customer’s sole responsibility to ensure that the
materials and the processes used are not harmful. This is
of particular importance for industrial uses where processes
may be unusual.
3) Over-firing damage for any reason and regardless of
cause. IMPORTANT: We specifically warn you not to fire
the kiln unattended. Neither the Kiln Sitter, The Orton
Sitter, the DynaTrol, One-Touch control, the Bartlett
3-Button control nor any other electronic control used
by L&L is designed to be a failproof shut off device.
L&L is not responsible for damage caused by failure of
any of these controls.
The Kiln Sitter, in particular, can be very unreliable because
of the moving parts, dirt or clay that can get into the tube,
the way cones are placed on the tube, corrosion, etc. DO
NOT FIRE THIS KILN UNATTENDED WHEN THE KILN IS
SUPPOSED TO TURN OFF AND LEARN HOW TO USE
THE TIMER BACK UP. Neither L&L Kiln Mfg., Inc. nor
Edward Orton Jr. Ceramic Foundation warranty the kiln or
kiln sitter against damage caused by overfiring. We highly
recommend firing all manual kilns with witness cones that
you can see through the peephole and/or a pyrometer so
you have some idea of what is happening inside the kiln.
Also note that it is easy to melt clay if you inadvertently fire
it hotter than its rating. It is possible in some controls to limit
the upper firing limit of the kiln to avoid accidental overfirings
of this type. Contact factory or read your control instruction
manual if you would like further information on this.
4) Firebrick by its nature is fragile and will chip, crack, and
create dust. L&L designs its kilns to minimize the effects of
this but can not warrant against cracking, breakage, spalling
or dusting. There is specifically no warranty for cracked
arches, tops, lids or bottoms.
5) Controls made by Orton (including the Orton Kiln Sitter),
Eurotherm, Honeywell or other manufactures are warranted
by their manufacturers. L&L is not responsible for damage
caused by failure of one of these controls.
6) Corrosion of the case is specifically not warranted.
Corrosion is typically due to use of a kiln in an unheated
outside shed (where morning dew condenses on the kiln
and humidity attacks the kiln) or from an unvented kiln
(where the water vapor and fumes generated by firing
ceramic materials attack the kiln case). However, even a
vented kiln can corrode due to all the environmental and
