Safety
Overfiring
The warranty on your kiln does
not cover damage from overfiring,
regardless of the circumstances. It is the
operator’s responsibility to make sure
the kiln turns off at the proper time.
The Ceramic Fiber
Avoid touching the firing chamber
surface with sharp or pointed objects.
They can damage the fiber surface.
Touching the embedded heating
element with sharp or pointed objects is
a shock hazard.
Read the Manual!
Read each page of this manual in detail
before operating your kiln. Warranty
does not cover damage caused by
failure to follow instructions.
Food or Drink Surfaces
Some decorative materials may be
unsafe and toxic when used for surfaces
that will be in contact with food or drink.
When you make food or drink
containers, select a glaze or glass that
has been formulated, tested and labeled
as approved for surfaces that will be in
contact with food or drink. Follow the
glaze or glass manufacturer’s
instructions exactly, without any
variations.
