Power Requirements
IMPORTANT: Have your electrician
or power company verify your voltage.
Most U.S. residential wiring is 120/240
volt. However, 208 volt is becoming com
-
mon in shopping centers and schools. 208
volt and 240 volt wall receptacles look the
same. If you order a kiln of the wrong
voltage, your kiln will need new elements
to fire properly. This is not covered by
warranty!
Before you plug a new kiln into an ex
-
isting circuit, have an electrician check the
circuit. Have him compare the circuit wire
and breaker sizes with our recommended
wire sizes. All wire sizes listed are for
COPPER only.
Most 10 and 12 sided kilns rated 208
volt are shipped without cord sets and
must be direct-wired by an electrician.
Doorway Clearance
for Kilns
Clearance may vary from specifica
-
tions for special order kilns. Dragon kiln:
doorway clearance is 34” if door handles
and element cover are temporarily
removed.
**The 12-sided sectional kilns need 12”
of door clearance when sections are disas-
sembled. Fully assembled, the kilns need
36” of doorway clearance. (The separate
kiln sections move through the doorway
sideways.)

Modifications
Catalog price list applies to standard
models built to these specifications. Any
change will include a charge for time and
materials, regardless of the type. Please
add 3 to 4 weeks for shipment of custom-
ized models.
Lid & Door Cutoff Switch
A lid switch can be factory-installed in
most Paragon kilns, top or front loading.
The switch shuts off power to the ele-
ments when the lid or door is opened
slightly. We recommend the lid switch for
heat treating, glass fusing, raku, and any
application that requires the kiln to be
opened at high temperature.
