Never allow the power cord to touch the kiln. If the cord, plug or receptacle become damaged discontinue use and replace immediately.
Do not remove the heat resistant, fiberglass sleeve affixed to the power cable. This sleeve protects the power cable from heat directed from the firing
chamber.
Do not open the chamber with the lid in the open position.
Do not open the lid with the chamber in the open position.
Be sure that kilns Lid Security Bar and Chamber Security Bar are secured within the wireform catch before releasing the lid or chamber. The hardware
used for these safety bars should be inspected periodically for damage and wear. If these devises are not operating properly discontinue kiln use until
repair or adjustment is made.
It is recommended that a fire extinguisher, capable of dousing an electrical fire, be accessible in the event of fire. Smoke detectors within the kiln
room are also recommended.
Keep the kiln lid and chamber 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.
All kiln models not equipped with an automatic shutoff devise (electronic control or kiln sitter) must not be allowed to exceed the rated operating
temperature indicated on the kiln nametag. To prevent kiln from exceeding this maximum temperature disconnect it from the electrical power supply.
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. 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.
Periodically check chamber jacket clamps for tightness. Tighten as necessary.
