10CHOOSING A LOCATION FOR YOUR KILNThe proper location is as important as choosing the right kiln. Below are some safetyguidelines.o Please review the safety considerations listed on page 5 when selecting alocation for your kiln.o Your kiln should be located in a covered, dry, fireproof and well ventilated area,but never in a small enclosed area such as a closet, cabinet or very small room.Otherwise, the room temperature will increase past a reasonable level quickly. Ina larger room, the exterior of the kiln will stay cooler than in a very small room.o Your kiln should be on a cement or fireproof surface and positioned a minimumof 12” from any surface. The best and safest place for your kiln is on a cementfloor. If not, some type of adequate fireproof material should be used beneaththe kiln to prevent a possible fire hazard or prevent discoloration of the floor.o Concrete blocks 8” x 8” x 16”, with holes up, may be used to raise the kiln to ahigher level. Solid bricks transfer heat through to the floor and should not beused.o Air circulation and ventilation are needed to remove heat and vapors that may bereleased from the firing. In a larger room, the exterior of the kiln will stay coolerthan in a very small room. If ventilation is a problem, call to see if an Orton VentSystem or a hood system is applicable.o Proper electrical service must be available. Refer to the section on ElectricalSpecifications. Select a grounded, three-pronged receptacle that is as close aspossible to either your fuse or breaker box. DO NOT use extension cords!o Remove all flammable or combustible materials such as gasoline, paper, paints,plastics, etc. from the surrounding area.o Since the exterior of the kiln gets very hot, place the kiln out of the way ofchildren, traffic, and work areas.o Do not let the power cord come in contact with the kiln. The kiln may need to berotated a little for the cord not to touch the kiln.o Never install a kiln outside and avoid undue moisture. |
