• Locate your kiln near your present electrical outlet or where a new circuit can be installed. Position the kiln to the
left of your electrical outlet so the cord will have a more direct path and will not place a strain on the plug or
outlet.
• Install it in a well ventilated, sheltered area such as a carport, garage, utility or hobby room. It should be
convenient to where you are working, and out of the way of traffic areas.
• Allow at least 18” (46 cm) of space between your kiln and adjacent walls. Also, allow at least 18” (46 cm)
between kilns. To limit the amount of heat directed at the controller, try to face controllers away from other kilns
when possible.
• Do not locate the kiln where flammable materials will be stored.
• Never fire your kiln within a four sided cabinet or closet. The fourth side must always be open to room air to
prevent the kiln from overheating surrounding surfaces. It is best to leave at least two sides open for easy access
to controls and peep holes. Fully automatic kilns should not be located in a room that exceeds 105 °F (41.5 °C)
or is less than 32 °F (0 °C) as damage to the electronic components may result.
• The kiln must be placed on a non-combustible surface such as cement, brick, metal or ceramic.
• When installing a kiln in a room with a fire control sprinkler system, please check the sprinkler head rating to
ensure that heat emitted from the kiln will not activate the sprinkler system.
• If you plan on installing an EnviroVent system now or in the future, locate the kilns close to an outside wall so the
kiln or kilns can be vented with limited ducting.

Inspecting and Unpacking
• Your Skutt kiln has traveled a long way by rail or truck. Look for any signs of damage
caused by transit such as creases, dents, or punctures in the cardboard shipping carton. If
damage is found, call your freight agent and ask for an inspection.
• Verify that the model information printed on the outside of the shipping carton matches the
model, voltage and phase of your order.
• Do not discard the packaging materials, until you have fully inspected the kiln.
