It'll be too late to think about safety practices and equipment, after an accident. Apart from kiln accessories, the on-line shop includes heat-resistant ceramic blocks and cloths, digital reminder-timers, fire extinguishers, heat-resistant gloves, and glare-resistant glasses.
It's important to have your fire extinguisher near your kiln. Read the instructions as soon as you unpack it, learn how to treat burns, buy a basic first aid kit, and fit a smoke alarm. And never get careless: kilns are very hot and connected to the mains.
FIRING KITS
The recommended firing kit for the UltraLite, included in the price, consists of one 77mm x 4mm cordierite firing disc for Art Clay and PMC metal clays. Cordierite is a magnesium aluminium silicate that resists thermal distortion and fracture.
Cordierite is brittle so, if you drop the firing disc, it will probably break. Although the discs can be repaired, it's not worth the risk as, if they break again, it will be just as you put your delicate unfired pieces in the kiln. It's a good idea to have spare shelves, especially if your business depends on your kiln or you're running courses.
For enamelling and glass work, you'll need to put kiln paper on the disc. Kiln paper is simpler and more convenient to use than glass separator for stopping enamels and glass sticking.
Because the kiln heats from the bottom, you can't stack firing discs. However, two extra discs allow you to put one on the lid to dry metal clays and use the other to lay out your next pieces for firing.
The two red-brass hot-lids, one of which has a shallow hollow for round pieces, are generally used for keum-boo work.
