Bailey ceramics has a full set of service and operation manuals on thier web site for your Kiln free for download. you will need: if you dont have them now)



kiln sitter cones for 04 (greenware to bisque)



kiln furniture (stilts, risers and at least 3 shelves) and saftey equiptment, Fireproof apron, elbow length welding gloves Infrared Goggles a good dust/chemical resperator mask preferable one that has the cartridges, get a set of cartridges rated for lead paint.



(you dont know where this kiln has been, you have to assume thats it's been firing leaded glaze, until proven otherwise.



and a good sized shop vac



a good location to fire it. (not indoors, unless you have a dedicated studio and a very good vent) the location will need a Nema 50 -50amp plug to plug the kiln into... you will need a electrician to set up the plug if you dont have one alreadf--- the Nema 50 is not a 3 wire plug like a dryer, its a 4 wire plug like a stove/range. (not a homeowener project to install, if itas done wrong, you can burn your house down... and while Im al for wood fired ceramics, thats giving a bit much for the art...



if you have never fired yourself before- take a class at the local college... there are a hundred and one things to watch when your running a kiln and it just takes a little practice,


here's the location for the manuals:
