Common questions
What electrical service does the 1827HE require?
The 1827HE requires a dedicated 60-amp circuit with 240V single-phase power or 208V single-phase in commercial settings. You'll need 6 AWG copper wire run from your breaker panel to the kiln location. Most residential installations require a licensed electrician to install the circuit, and hardwiring is recommended over a plug connection for this amperage. The kiln draws 48 amps at 240V (11,520 watts), so verify your electrical service panel has sufficient capacity before installation.
Does this kiln come with shelves and posts?
No, kiln furniture is sold separately. The 1827HE requires a furniture kit specifically sized for its 17.5-inch diameter chamber. A typical furniture kit includes 3-4 full round cordierite shelves and approximately 9-12 posts in varying heights. You'll want kiln furniture rated for cone 10 firing to match the kiln's maximum temperature capability.
What does the stackable design allow me to do?
The three-section stackable construction means the top, middle, and bottom sections separate completely. This makes the kiln easier to move through doorways and up stairs during initial installation. In the future, you can add or remove sections to change the chamber height (creating an 18-inch or 36-inch tall chamber instead of 27 inches), or you can purchase additional sections to build a second kiln using some of your existing sections. Each section contains its own heating elements.
How is the warranty activated?
Olympic requires warranty registration within 30 days of delivery to activate the one-year limited warranty. You'll need to register directly with Olympic Kilns (not with Peach State Pottery) and provide proof of purchase. The warranty only covers defects in materials and workmanship when purchased through authorized dealers. Wear items like elements, thermocouples, and relays have separate coverage terms outlined in the warranty documentation.
Can this kiln fire glass as well as ceramics?
Yes, but you'll want the dual-media lid conversion accessory for optimal glass fusing results. The standard ceramic lid configuration works for glass firing, but the dual-media system includes a lower-profile lid specifically designed for glass work that provides better heat distribution for fusing and slumping. The KilnStar controller can be programmed for glass firing schedules with appropriate ramp and hold segments for glass projects.

Upon Carrier Inspection

  • Make sure the damaged items have not been moved from the receiving area prior to discovery of the damage.
  • Allow the inspector to inspect damaged items, cartons, inner packing materials and freight bill.
  • Retain your delivery receipt – it will be required as supporting documentation when a claim is filed.
  • Once the inspector has filled out the inspection report, read it carefully and make sure you agree with the report.
  • Unless repairs will be completely satisfactory, be sure the inspector requests replacement on the inspection report.

After Carrier Inspection

  • Continue to retain damaged merchandise even though the inspection has been completed.
  • Damaged items cannot be used or disposed of without written permission from the carrier.
  • Do not return damaged items without written authorization from the supplier.
  • If damaged items are picked up by the carrier for salvage, secure the receipt.

Warranty

Olympic Kilns Warranty

Olympic Kilns are warranted by Olympic Kilns / Haugen Manufacturing, Inc. for kilns used for ceramics, pottery, and glass, subject to the warranty periods, requirements, and exclusions listed below.

This warranty is provided by Olympic Kilns / Haugen Manufacturing, Inc. Peach State Pottery is here to help customers understand warranty coverage and assist with the process if warranty service is needed.

Warranty Periods

Warranty coverage depends on the kiln type and configuration.

Product / Component Warranty Period
Kilns equipped with a Kiln Sitter and Safety Timer 1 year
Cone 10 kilns 1 year
All other Olympic kilns 2 years
Thermocouples Not covered
Kiln furniture Not covered

Warranty coverage must be activated by registering your purchase.

What the Warranty Covers

Olympic Kilns warranty coverage applies to defects in manufacturing for eligible kilns used for ceramics, pottery, and glass.

If a covered manufacturing defect is confirmed, Olympic Kilns may repair, replace, or refund the affected part or product as appropriate.

Warranty Registration Required

To activate warranty coverage, your Olympic Kilns purchase must be registered. Keep your proof of purchase, order information, and any product documentation for your records.

Reporting a Defect

Defects must be reported in writing within six (6) days of discovery. Your written notice should include:

  • The date the issue was discovered
  • The place of purchase
  • Proof of purchase
  • A description of the defect
  • Photos or videos, if available

Warranty Exclusions

The Olympic Kilns warranty does not cover damage or issues caused by:

  • Kilns damaged or altered after leaving the factory.
  • Damage caused by reduction firing or salt firing.
  • Over-firing or exceeding the maximum cone or temperature rating.
  • Improper installation.
  • Use of electrical voltages different from those specified for the kiln.
  • Firing materials other than ceramics and glass.
  • Thermocouples or kiln furniture.

Freight Damage Is Not Warranty Damage

Damage that occurs during shipping or delivery is not treated as a manufacturing warranty defect. Freight damage must be documented at delivery and handled through the freight claim process.

Please inspect your shipment carefully before signing for delivery. Take photos or video of the packaging before unpacking and continue documenting the unpacking process, especially if you notice any visible damage.

Warranty Claim Process

If you believe your Olympic kiln has a warranty-related issue, contact Peach State Pottery with your order information and a description of the issue. We will help review the situation and assist with the next steps.

If the issue is not resolved through the retailer, Olympic Kilns must be contacted in writing within six (6) days of the first indication of the defect.

Olympic Kilns will determine which parts appear to require repair and will provide instructions for shipment when needed.

Customer Responsibilities

For warranty service, the customer may be responsible for dismantling, packaging, and shipping only the parts requested by Olympic Kilns.

  • Requested parts must be packaged carefully and shipped freight prepaid.
  • The customer is responsible for dismantling and reinstalling parts.
  • The customer is responsible for packaging and shipping costs unless otherwise stated.
  • Only the parts requested by Olympic Kilns should be shipped.

If an entire kiln is returned for warranty repair, the customer is responsible for prepaying the cost of packaging and shipping both to and from the factory.

Repair, Replacement, or Refund

If Olympic Kilns determines that the issue is due to a manufacturing defect, Olympic Kilns will repair, replace, or refund as appropriate within thirty (30) days.

Repaired or replacement parts will be shipped back to the customer at Olympic Kilns’ cost using the customer’s package. The customer is responsible for reinstalling the parts.

Non-Warranty Repairs

If the parts sent to Olympic Kilns require repair or replacement for a reason not covered by the warranty, no work will be performed until the customer authorizes the work and makes payment arrangements.

Limits of Warranty Coverage

Olympic Kilns shall not be liable for injuries to persons or property, or for incidental, contingent, special, or consequential damages arising from the use of its products.

Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so these limitations may not apply to every customer. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights that vary from state to state.
