Keep the kiln door closed when not in use.
It is the user’s responsibility to have knowledge of the material intended to be fired. If you are unsure as to the safety of firing a particular
material contact your materials supplier for guidance. If you remain unsure as to the safety of firing a particular material do not do it. Firing
hazards include materials that explode or produce toxic gases. Finished ware hazards include materials containing lead. Materials containing
lead should not be used for articles intended for food use.
Fire all ware according to the material manufacturer’s instructions. Improper firing may result in damage to the kiln or ware.
Do not use the kiln to prepare food, heat a living space, dry clothes or ice laden articles or use as a storage devise. The kiln is designed for one purpose
and one purpose only: the firing of glass materials.
A kiln will remain very hot long after the firing is complete. All safety recommendations should be followed, even with the kiln unpowered, to avoid
any burn injuries. Keep children and other unauthorized personnel away.
When firing is complete, and during periods of non-use, remove power from the kiln by unplugging or by throwing the disconnect or breakers to the
OFF position.
Kiln Maintenance Safety
Disconnect electrical power from the kiln before performing any kiln maintenance. Failure to disconnect the electrical power supply may
result in electrical shock which can cause serious injury or death.
Replace any worn, damaged or defective parts immediately with Evenheat Kiln replacement parts only. This includes the elemented fiber
chamber muffle itself.
If heating elements become exposed, discontinue use immediately and repair before further use.
Discontinue use
until parts are replaced.
When vacuuming the kiln use only HEPA filters on the vacuum. Prolonged expose to brick dust and other refractory materials can cause lung
injury.
Inspect all electrical service connections periodically for wear.
