Disassembling KM1627PK Kiln Sections
Caution: Before disassembling any Oval kiln, be sure to turn off power to the kiln by
throwing the circuit breaker or removing the fuse on its circuit. Do not restore power to the
kiln until it is fully reassembled.
Note: The mercury relays in the switch box must be operated only with the switch box in a
normal, vertical orientation.
To disassemble the kiln
1 Remove the screws from the left side of the control box.
2 Swing the control box open.
3 Remove the screws holding the feeder wires to the two pole blocks on the heat baffle.
There are three sets with two feeder wires going into each set.
4 Remove the thermocouple wires from the thermocouple terminal strip on the baffle.
They are attached with slide on connectors and should be pulled straight off. Pulling at
an angle can damage the connector.
5 Lift the box up and set it aside.
6 Unfasten draw pull catches and lift sections apart using the handles.
To reassemble Oval kilns:
1 Stack the sections in original sequence and secure the draw pull catches..
2 Place the control box on its hinges.
3 Reattach the feeder wires to their corresponding block. Make sure the connection is
very tight
to avoid electrical problems.
5 Reattach the thermocouple wires in correct order.
6 Reattach the screws which secure the control box to the kiln jacket.
