(2) WHEN YOU RECEIVE:

Inspect Your Kiln: Check the Bill of Lading number and be

sure the number on the parcel you would take delivery of, is the

same. Before signing the receipt document, check the carton for

damage. (Ruptures, holes, crushed, etc.) If you see any damage

on the carton, you can return by refusing the shipment or accept

it with the drivers note, on the Bill of Lading and inform our

company or our dealer who has delivered the parcel to you, by

fax or e-mail. Inspect the outer surfaces of your kiln, open the

kiln door and inspect the heating chamber. If you observe any

damage, inform our company or our dealer who has delivered

the parcel to you, by fax or e-mail.

Save the Shipping Carton: If you would take your kiln to

vacation or seminars or return to factory for repairs, this carton

will provide maximum protection during transportation. If you

haven’t save the carton, place your kiln, the door up, back side

down, on a soft surface; support it at the sides. Vibration during

travel may damage your kiln.

(3) IMPORTANT SAFETY RULES

An Electric Kiln is as safe as your iron if these basic safety rules

are followed:

• Locate your kiln in a good ventilated, sheltered place.

• Put your kiln on a fire-proof surface, minimum 30 cm away

from doors, walls and apart from any curtains or

combustible materials.

• Unplug your kiln, when not in use or before servicing.

• Do not touch hot surfaces.

• Avoid unsupervised children entering your work-shop.

• Keep the main cord away from the hot surfaces of your kiln.

• Do not touch heating element with anything. This may

cause SERIOUS ELECTRIC SHOCK!

• Do not leave your kiln unattended while firing.

• Wear protective glasses when you look into hot kiln.

• TURN OFF the kiln before opening the kiln door, when

loading or unloading.

• Wear thick work gloves when loading or unloading your

kiln.

• Do not fire any material which you wouldn’t know how it

behaves at high temperatures. (Explosion, dangerous fumes,

etc. can be caused.)

• Do not keep food at your working area.

********************************************

(4) SETTING UP:

Electrical Installation: Do not use an extension cord. If it is

essential, use not thinner than 3 X 0.75 mm. and not longer than

500 cm. Variations at the voltage may decrease or increase the

heating rate of kilns. If the voltage drops to low, the kiln may

not even reach the desired temperature.
