Common questions
Do I need an electrician to install this kiln?Yes, absolutely. The FL36E requires a dedicated 240V or 208V circuit with approximately 150-180 amp service and must be installed by a licensed electrician in compliance with local electrical codes. This is not a plug-in kiln—professional hardwired installation is required for safe operation and to maintain your warranty.
What comes in the furniture kit for this kiln?The Large Capacity furniture kit provides 4 complete layers of shelving sized for the 38" x 38" chamber, assorted posts for stacking configurations, and a 5 lb bag of kiln wash. You can also build a custom furniture package with the exact shelf and post quantities you need for your specific production workflow.
How much production work can this kiln handle?With 36 cubic feet of capacity, the FL36E is built for serious production work—schools running multiple firings per week, small production potteries, or busy community studios. The heavy-duty construction, stainless steel jacket, and industrial frame are designed to withstand daily use over many years of service.
Should I add a solid state relay?For a production kiln of this size, yes—we strongly recommend it. Solid state relays provide tighter temperature control for more consistent results, extend element life through smoother power cycling, reduce your electric bill, and last the lifetime of the kiln with no moving parts to replace. It's the best investment you can make in long-term reliability.
Does buying from Peach State Pottery affect my warranty?No. We are an authorized Olympic Kilns dealer. Your one-year warranty is fully valid and you have direct access to Olympic’s factory support team. Buying from an unauthorized seller or the used market can void your warranty entirely.
