STACKING THE KILNS CONTINUED
1. Turn off all power to all the kilns you will be stacking.
2. Follow the instructions for de-tensioning and removing the lids of all the kilns you
will be stacking.
3. Follow the instructions for Disassembling PK Kilns in your KilnMaster Manual and
remove the control boxes on the kilns you will be stacking beginning with the one which
will be on the bottom (the one sitting on the Heavy Duty Stand).
4. Remove the top section of the kiln sitting on the Heavy Duty Stand and place it on the
floor. Stack the middle section on the bottom section and the top section on the middle
section. This places the sections in reverse order so when you stack them over your piece
they will be in the correct order. Repeat this for all kilns to be stacked.
5. Place a full 1” kiln shelf posted up approximately 1 inch from the slab of the kiln sit-
ting on the Heavy Duty Stand. Position the piece you are firing so it is centered on the
shelf. Make sure to measure the piece to make sure the sections will fit over it with at
least 1.5 inches of clearance from the kiln walls and thermocouples and 2 inches from the
lid when the kiln is assembled.
6. Begin stacking the sections over the piece in the correct order. You will most likely
need two people and possibly two ladders. Be careful not to hit the thermocouples.
7. When you get to the 4th section (the bottom section of the 2nd kiln) stagger the heat
shield by one brick facet towards the direction of the outlet for that kiln. This will make
it easier to install the control boxes and allow them better ventilation. Stagger the third
kiln sections in the opposite direction.
8. Place the lid on top of the kiln. It is probably not necessary to install the lid since you
will need to unstack the kiln again to remove the piece. Make sure it is perfectly centered
so no heat can escape.
9. Be sure to buckle the sections together and then follow the instructions in the
KilnMaster Manual in reverse order to reattach the kiln boxes. Make sure all of your
wire connections are very tight.
10. Link the control boxes using the modular control cable.
