Certain kiln models may have slightly different set-up instructions. Special set-up instructions for PK Kilns
and the KM-1 Wall Mount Controller are located in the Appendices Section.
Save packing material until test fire is complete. The kiln comes almost completely assembled. If you ●
need to disassemble the kiln to make it lighter or smaller to move through doors, see Appendix 1.

If your kiln is equipped with a spring assisted Lid Lifter, you will need to load the springs. They have been
de-tensioned to avoid damage to the kiln during shipping. Please consult Page 12 for instructions on tensioning the
