  • Page 2 V8 Kiln Placement The V8 is provided with a small metal stand. The purpose of this metal stand is to allow the user to use the V8 as a traditional glass or ceramic/pottery kiln if desired. Before doing so the user must replace the firebrick floor with a firebrick floor that does not have a hole. This solid floor is available for purchase on shopevenheat.com and has a part #00342.202.

  • Page 3: Electrical Service Requirements

    Plugging In the Kiln Throw the kiln control panel power switch down to the OFF position (located on the back of the control panel). Plug the V8’s power plug into your outlet. As the V8 requires 14A/120V to operate it should be the only devise plugged into the circuit. It is permissible to use an extension cord to connect to electrical power but only with the following conditions: extension cord wire size must be at least #12AWG, extension cord length shall not exceed 12’...
  • Page 4 Your Firing Surface If you plan to use the V8 in more traditional glass or ceramic/pottery firings you will always want to fire your ware on a kiln shelf prepared with a kiln wash or glass separator. You may also choose to fire on many of the fiber papers available. You DO NOT want to fire your ware directly on the floor of the kiln.
  • Page 5 Once all ware has been unloaded place the lid back on the kiln. You are free to leave your V8 placed into the stands when not in use. If you do remove them it’s possible to lower the metal kiln base of the stand to a vertical position to get it out of the way.
  • Page 6 Kiln Location Safety The best location for the V8 kiln for vitrigraph work is on an Evenheat manufactured floor or wall stand. The best location for the V8 when using it as a traditional kiln for glass or ceramic/pottery is a non-combustible work surface.
  • Page 7 For those who may be interested in using vermiculite products for vitrigraph work: vermiculite is a fairly soft material that tends to fracture easily. The use of an easily fractured or fractured product is therefore not recommended by Evenheat as kiln stability is of great importance for safe operation.
  • Page 8 Replace any worn, damaged or defective parts immediately with Evenheat Kiln replacement parts only. Discontinue use until parts are replaced. Your kiln is designed with a feature that allows for relay replacement without having to remove the entire kiln control enclosure: Relay Access Port.
