The lid brace has been redesigned with a two position setting and a stop post. The stop post is a safety feature
which prevents the lid from opening too far and damaging the kiln. The lid brace provides additional safety and
allows you to open the lid wider if needed for larger pieces.

The Lid Latch serves two purposes. The first is to make sure the lid stays in the closed
position while firing. To latch the lid shut, simply close the lid and swing the latch
arm over until it pops into place. Be sure to latch the lid shut prior to every firing!
There are two additional venting positions that the lid can be placed in if the kiln is
not equipped with a downdraft vent. Lift the lid up and swing the Lid Latch into the
desired venting slot. When the kiln reaches 1000°F (537°C), close the lid and latch
it shut. Always wear fireproof protective gloves when working with any hot kiln.
