Common questions
Can I plug this kiln into a regular household outlet?
Yes, the Doll E / Test E operates on standard 120V household power and includes a 3-prong plug that fits standard outlets. However, we strongly recommend using a dedicated 15-amp circuit to prevent tripping breakers or overloading circuits shared with other appliances. An electrician can verify your outlet is on a dedicated circuit and confirm proper wiring.
What size shelves and furniture do I need for this kiln?
The oval chamber measures 11.25″ wide by 7″ deep, so you'll need custom-cut oval shelves or rectangular shelves trimmed to fit. Olympic offers a furniture kit specifically sized for this kiln's dimensions. Standard round or square shelves from other kilns will not fit properly due to the unique oval shape.
Is this kiln suitable for production work or only testing?
While primarily designed as a test kiln for glaze development and small samples, the Doll E / Test E is capable of production firing for very small items like jewelry components, miniatures, test tiles for tile makers, and small sculptural pieces. The 0.33 cubic foot capacity limits batch sizes but offers quick turnaround for small production runs.
How do I register my kiln warranty?
Olympic Kilns requires warranty registration within 30 days of delivery. You can register online at Olympic's website using your serial number and purchase date. Warranty coverage is valid only for kilns purchased through authorized dealers like Peach State Pottery. Keep your invoice as proof of purchase date.
What's the difference between the Doll E and Test E models?
The Doll E and Test E are the same kiln with two different model names used interchangeably by Olympic. Both feature identical specifications: 11.25″ × 7″ × 9″ oval chamber, 120V operation, Cone 10 capability, and the KilnStar controller. The dual naming reflects Olympic's historical product line conventions.
