We know manuals are boring. This one is really no different. We like to tell ourselves our manuals are nothing short of the
most exciting thing you'll ever read. But they're not, they're kinda boring.
HOWEVER..................we do ask that you at least read and understand the Safety and Set-up portions. This gets you up to
speed on how not to hurt yourself, other people or destroy your workshop. Truthfully, the rest of the manual has some cool
little gems that should make your learning curve even more enjoyable.
If you have any questions after reading this manual please contact us at info@evenheat-kiln.com or 989-856-2281. We're
more than happy to help.
