Kilns made outside the UK have been re-engineered to work on a single-phase 230V-240V mains supply. They've been comprehensively tested and CE Marked to comply with EU safety standards.

UK voltage used to be 240V and European used to be 220V. The EU decided to harmonise the voltage to 230V, but the implementation costs were too high for almost no real benefit. So, to appear harmonised, the legal voltage limits were changed to 230V, but within the range 216V-253V. Generally, in the UK, 240V is a reliable average.

The elements in ceramic-fibre kilns are safely embedded in the fibre. The elements in firebrick kilns are turned off by a legally-necessary lid or door safety switch. However, never get careless: kilns are very hot and connected to the mains.

It'll be too late to think about safety practices and equipment after an accident. Apart from kiln accessories, the on-line shop includes heat resistant ceramic blocks and cloths, digital reminder-timers, fire extinguishers, heat-resistant gloves, and glare-resistant glasses.

It's important to have your fire extinguisher near your kiln. Read the instructions as soon as you unpack it, learn how to treat burns, buy a basic first aid kit, and fit a smoke alarm.

For private home use, check your building and contents insurance for relevant exclusions. For business use, you'll need public liability insurance and will have to comply with health and safety regulations.

Businesses and course providers might have to get change-of-use planning consent for proposed building changes and provide staff training, safety glasses, fire extinguishers, first-aid materials, disabled access, a bathroom, and fire exits.

A recommended general-purpose furniture kit is included in the price. However, extra shelf kits allow you to stack your work, optimise your use of the firing chamber volume, and your time. You can buy extra shelves in the on-line shop.

It's very important to understand what the shelf kit consists of, why you might need a different one, and why you might need more than one. If you're not sure, go back and read more before completing your order.

For enamelling and glass fusing, you'll need to put kiln paper on the shelf to stop anything sticking: it's simpler and cleaner to use than glass separator. You can buy shelf paper in the on-line shop.

Remember that glass needs radiant heat and will fuse, sag, or slump better on one shelf than between stacked shelves.

All new kilns are guaranteed for 12 months, and user-fitted spare parts for 90 days. In the very unlikely event of a fault, find your invoice or other proof of purchase and call: even if you bought the kiln from a reseller.
