The 189 Slider requires a dedicated 240V, 30-amp circuit with a NEMA 6-30 receptacle and 10-gauge wiring. We strongly recommend hiring a licensed electrician to install the circuit according to local electrical codes. The kiln can also be wired for 208V in commercial settings where that voltage is available.\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"d-faq-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"d-q\"\u003eWhat kiln furniture do I need for glass firing?\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"d-a\"\u003eYou'll need kiln-washed shelves designed for glass work, fiber paper, and slumping molds depending on your projects. Standard ceramic kiln shelves work but must be properly prepared with kiln wash or fiber paper to prevent glass from sticking. We recommend purchasing a glass kiln furniture kit that includes shelves, posts, and fiber paper specifically sized for the 189 Slider.\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"d-faq-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"d-q\"\u003eHow does the sliding floor mechanism work?\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"d-a\"\u003eThe clamshell lid lifts open while the floor slides forward on rails, extending 44 inches out from the kiln. This allows you to load and unload projects at waist height without reaching over hot elements. The sliding mechanism is smooth and stable, keeping your glass work level during loading and eliminating the awkward overhead positioning required with top-loading kilns.\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"d-faq-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"d-q\"\u003eWhat's covered under the Olympic warranty?\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"d-a\"\u003eOlympic provides a one-year limited warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. The kiln must be registered within 30 days of delivery, and the warranty is valid only when purchased through authorized dealers like Peach State Pottery. Elements are considered consumable items and have limited coverage. Proper installation and maintenance are required to maintain warranty coverage.\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"d-cta\"\u003e\n  \u003cdiv\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"d-cta-title\"\u003eNot sure if the Olympic 189 Slider is the right kiln for your glass studio?\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"d-cta-sub\"\u003eOur team can help you compare glass kilns, discuss electrical requirements, and recommend the best setup for your work.\u003c\/span\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/peachstatepottery.com\/pages\/contact-us\" class=\"d-cta-link\"\u003eTalk to an expert →\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Olympic Kilns","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48413109059739,"sku":"189Slider","price":3200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/7160\/9243\/files\/OlympicKilns189SliderGlassFiringKiln-Angled-ClamshellOpen_638x638_27f3309f-5ff3-4fe6-a3c5-1d9422563488.webp?v=1776988111","url":"https:\/\/peachstatepottery.com\/products\/olympic-kilns-189-slider-glass-firing-kiln","provider":"Peach State Pottery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
