WHAT SHOULD YOU READ?
The information in these installation instruc-
tions is as complete as we can make it - which
means that there is more than most people will
need to read or think about . Each heading is self-
contained (for instance "Assembling the Stand")
Most people will be able to figure out how to
assemble their stand by looking at it - so only
read this heading if you get stuck .
First of all be comfortable with where you
are putting your new kiln . If you have any
questions about that read the information about
clearances, ventilation, etc . in the "Installation"
tabbed section . Do that first so you don't have
to redo your work .
If there is anything we feel you must read we
will call it to your attention with one of these
shaded boxes .
CAN YOU MOVE THE KILN
WITHOUT DISASSEMBLING IT?
The kiln is shipped mostly assembled (except
for the stand and the disengaged hinge spring) .
It is possible to move the kiln without disassem-
bling it . However, these kilns, particularly the
e28S and e28T, are very heavy and awkward to
move . If you decide to move it without disas-
sembling the sections first be absolutely certain
you have at least two or three strong people
who are familiar with proper lifting techniques .
Serious back injury could result if such a heavy
object is lifted improperly . See page 5 for details
on how to do it - there are specific instructions
depending on which model you have .
