Electrical Service Specifications 

 

Connection 

 

To operate safely and efficiently your kiln needs the proper electrical outlet with the correct amperage capacity and voltage. A licensed electrician 
or local power authority should determine if you have the proper service. All electrical changes should be performed by a licensed electrician. 

 
Refer to the beginning of this manual for a list of precautions that must be followed. It is very important that all wire size and fusing/breaker selections are 
correct. Improper selection can lead to overheating of the cordset, receptacle, supply lines and fusing/breaker. Copper wire is preferred and we strongly 
suggest avoiding aluminum wire. 
 
Through common sense and professional electrical service your kiln will provide many years of trouble free service.
