How do I care for my kiln?

Kiln placement

One of the first things to consider in locating your kiln is that it should be convenient to an electrical outlet and is in a well-ventilated area. When setting up your kiln, avoid placing it on rubber tiles, linoleum, or on any surface that might tend to mar if heated. When locating your kiln it is best to place it on an asbestos tile or a cement floor. If you need to place it on a floor that may be heat marred, lay down a few squares of asbestos for it to rest on.
