What is a 13amp Plug & Go Kiln?
A 13amp Plug & Go kiln is a type of ceramic kiln that is designed for convenience and ease of use, making it ideal for small studios or home environments. These kilns are powered from a UK domestic 13amp ring main via a standard 3-pin plug, enabling their use with household electrical outlets without the need for specialised wiring or electrical upgrades.
What Can I Use a 13amp Plug & Go Kiln For?
13amp Plug & Go home kilns are very versatile and are suitable for firing a variety of ceramic materials, including earthenware, stoneware, and porcelain, depending on the specific temperature range of the kiln. They are especially useful for crafting smaller items such as bowls, mugs, decorative tiles, and jewellery.
How Do I Prepare My Home/Studio for a 13amp Plug & Go Kiln?
To prepare your home or studio for a 13amp Plug & Go kiln, ensure that you have an appropriately rated electrical outlet and adequate ventilation. The kiln should be placed on a heat-resistant surface with safe clearance from combustible materials. It is also recommended to use a dedicated circuit to prevent overloading your home’s electrical system.
How Do I Maintain a 13amp Plug & Go Kiln?
Maintaining the kiln is crucial for its longevity and safety. Regularly inspect the kiln’s elements and electrical connections for signs of wear or damage before each use.
It is also important to keep the interior of the kiln clean by removing any debris after each firing session. Always wait for the kiln to cool down completely before cleaning. After every few firings, gently vacuum the interior with a soft brush attachment to remove any dust or particles.
