SETTING UP THE KILN
1) Place the stand in your desired location.
The stand in position on the floor:
2) You’re now going to build the kiln from the bottom up.
3) LEVEL THE STAND NOW! Do this before proceeding
because at this point it is easy to put a level on the flat base.
Use metal shims under the legs to accomplish the leveling.
We suggest using a carpenter’s level for this job. Make sure
that the stand will not wobble.
Ensuring that the kiln stand is level when in position.
WHY IS LEvELING SO
ImPORTANT?
If the stand and the bottom are not level your kiln
shelves will not be level and loading will be difficult.
Kiln shelves loaded with ceramic ware are like a
house of cards to begin with - don’t make it any
harder!
Also - an uneven floor will quickly become a cracked
floor. There should be equal support under each leg
of the stand so the floor does not rock back and forth.
Be patient about doing this right as you are assem-
bling the kiln. Once you have put the kiln sections
on the bottom of the kiln you will not feel like taking
it off - so it is important to have this base be level to
start with.
4) Note that the kiln bottom is packed on top of the kiln so it
is easily removed first without moving the kiln.
Removing the bottom from the package.
5) Place the bottom of the kiln on the kiln stand, making
sure to center it on the stand. It is not critical how the
polygonal corners are oriented to the square stand.
