SAFETY
Read and understand this installation and operating manual as well as the controls manual before operating your kiln. 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 safety precautions.
Warning Symbol Descriptions
Warning symbols are used throughout this manual. These symbols alert the operator 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.
The Heat Waves alert you to specific information regarding the risk of burn injury.
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.

Summary of Contents for Evenheat GTS 41
- Page 1 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).
- Page 2 Do not place or use kiln on combustible surface. Place only on the metal stand provided by Evenheat Kiln, Inc. The surface on which the kiln is placed shall be capable of safely supporting the combined weight of the kiln, kiln load and any operating personnel.
- Page 3 Fiber Lid Construction The lid of the GTS 41 is constructed of a special fiber material that provides excellent thermal properties along with light weight. This design allows the heating elements to be positioned on the surface for maximum heat transfer and firing efficiency. We also position these lid heating elements left to right to prevent them from sagging or bunching-up with repeated opening and closing.
- Page 4 The lid handle is lowered and extended to offer a shorter, more relaxed movement. It’s also wide enough to allow for easy gloved-hand operation. Handles are a design priority at Evenheat. A kiln must be easy to use and handles are never an afterthought. We enjoy fitting our kiln designs with serious handles and you’ll appreciate the effort.
- Page 5 Before unpacking and setup of your GTS 41 you will need to make sure your kiln location is adequate for unobstructed and safe operation. Place your GTS 41 in a location that offers a level, non combustible surface. The GTS 41 should be placed no closer than 12” from any wall or 36” from any ceiling surface in all opened and closed positions.
- Page 6 If you have not prepared your shelf do so now. Loading the GTS 41 To load the GTS 41, throw the kiln control panel power switch to the OFF position and simply lift on the lid handle. For best results grasp lid handle with both hands.
- Page 7 ARRANTY Evenheat Kiln, Inc. guarantees to the original purchaser that for a period of two full years (1 year for Superwool lids) from the date of purchase the kiln will be free of defects in workmanship and materials when used under normal and proper operating conditions. Evenheat will replace or repair any defective part as specified..
- Page 8 The glass kiln manual included with your kiln includes kiln stand assembly instructions for many models. However, if you have purchased model GTS 2541 or GTS 41 please use the updated assembly instructions shown below. GTS 2541 / GTS 41 Stand Parts Include: 30.5”...
- Page 9 GTS 2541 / GTS 41 Stand Assembly Instructions North American Model Jan 2024 Step 2: Place all stand legs as shown below. Please note that the 2 Dyna-Lift Ready legs are placed, on one side, at the center positions of the long, 36.5” stand sections.
- Page 10 GTS 2541 / GTS 41 Stand Assembly Instructions North American Model Jan 2024 Step 4: Install the trusses as shown below. Finger tighten and place plastic feet on each leg. Step 5: Turn the stand over and tighten all bolts.
- Page 11 If you have purchased a Dyna-Lift this is the point where you’ll attach it to the kiln stand. Please refer to the Dyna-Lift instructions for specific steps. If you have not purchased a Dyna-Lift for your new GTS 2541 you may want to consider it (The GTS 41 does not use a Dyna-Lift). The Dyna-Lift lightens the force needed to operate the kiln lid.
