Your Studio Pro 24 has been shipped in 3 sections for easy placement. Narrow doorways and halls are possible to navigate with each of the 3, individual
sections. This allows you to place the kiln where it would be otherwise impossible or impractical to do with a kiln of this size.
SAFETY
Read and understand these installation instructions for safe and proper installation. Installation requires the lifting and moving of individual kiln sections.
Personnel capable of lifting and managing the moving process must be used. If you have any questions please contact Evenheat Kiln at 989-856-2281 or at
evenheat-kiln.com.
Kilns are as safe as any other electrical appliance when used under normal and proper operating conditions. To create and maintain this safe environment
observe all installation and safety precautions.
Warning Symbol Descriptions
Warning symbols are used throughout these installation instructions. These symbols alert the installation personnel to certain hazards and important
information. Pictured below are symbols used along with a description of each.
The Exclamation Point alerts you to particular cautions, hazards and information.
The Lightning Bolt alerts you to specific information regarding the risk of electric shock.
Electric shock may result in injury or death.
Emergency Shut Off Provision
The kilns power supply connection (plug/receptacle, breaker or disconnect) acts as the emergency electrical power shut off. Access to these
devises should be unobstructed and safe at all times.
All electrical installations for direct wired models (those without a plug/receptacle connection) must include a power disconnect near the kiln and that
is easily accessible and safe for emergency power shutoff.
Electrical Safety
A licensed electrician should be used for all electrical installation and service. All applicable local, state and federal electrical codes must be
followed.
Use correct voltage, wire size and fuse or breakers. Kiln electrical requirements are located on the kiln nameplate. Make sure all electrical connections
are tight. Avoid using aluminum wire.
Always use the proper electrical receptacle. Never alter the kiln cordset or cordset plug. Alterations can be dangerous. Alterations will void any
warranties along with nullifying any Listing Agency markings.
Evenheat recommends that a voltage check be performed before placing the kiln into service, ideally before actual purchase. Operating
voltage varies, with common operating voltages being 208V and 240V. The kilns operating voltage (printed on the kilns nameplate) must
match the applied voltage (actual electrical service voltage). If it does not, do not install or operate the kiln as potential electrical and fire
hazards exist. Contact Evenheat for guidance in such cases.
The kiln must be properly grounded.
Unplug or disconnect the kiln from the electrical service before accessing the chamber for servicing or vacuuming. Do not attempt to touch
or replace the heating elements while the kiln is plugged in or connected to the electrical service. Electric shock may result in serious injury
or death.
Never, ever use an extension cord to operate a kiln.

  • Page 14 Studio Pro 24 Features Dual Access Design The Studio Pro 24 features a Dual Access Design. The Dual Access Design simply means you have the choice of entering the chamber through the Top or through the Front. Front entry offers its own unique advantages. Front entry grants wide open access to the kiln floor. This wide open access is excellent for ware placement, particularly for ware that cannot be moved once positioned.
  • Page 15 Place your Studio Pro 24 in a location that offers a level, non combustible surface. The Studio Pro 24 should be placed no closer than 12” from any wall or 36” from any ceiling surface in all opened and closed positions. All flammable and combustible materials should be removed from the kiln area.
  • Page 16 “papers” available. You DO NOT want to fire your ware directly on the floor of the kiln. Doing so will most likely allow your ware to stick to the floor and damage it, and that’s no fun. If you have not prepared your shelf do so now. If you’re using Evenheat supplied shelves and wash there are separate instructions included with these items.
  • Page 17 Initial Kiln Maintenance (Chamber Tightening) The Studio Pro 24 uses worm-gear clamps to secure the stainless steel chamber jacket to the brick chamber. During firing, particularly on a new kiln, the stainless steel jacket expands causing the worm-gear clamps to loosen slightly. These worm-gear clamps (located on the left side of the chamber) must be check for tightness and tightened if necessary.
