The Kiln Stand needs to be positioned with the buckle latch facing forward. Line up the kiln on the stand so
the top half of the latch on the kiln can be attached to the bottom half of the latch on the stand.

1) Locate a spot on the wall behind the kiln that is at least 18” from the kiln yet close enough to not stretch
the controller cord when it is attached to the kiln. Make sure the location is easy and safe to access and
preferably in an area where at least 1 of the mounting screws can be attached to a stud in the wall. If a
wall stud can not be accessed it will be necessary to use drywall anchor bolts that can be found at a local
hardware store. Using the template in the back of the catalog, mark the holes for drilling.
2) Remove the template from the wall and drive the mounting screws (these can be found in your Operating
Manual Packet) into the wall in the areas marked. Leave approximately 1/4” of thread showing on the
screw to allow for the unit to hang on the screws.
3) Hang the GlassMaster Controller on the screws and attach the controller cord to the back box of the kiln
using the connector on the end of the cord.

The GM22CS’s “Clam Shell” design requires shocks to comfortably open the kiln. These shocks have
dampeners built into their chambers to keep the kiln from opening too fast. However it is still recommended to
control the speed of the lid opening when it is to be opened all of the way. This will reduce the amount of stress
placed on the hinges and back row of bricks.
