Dear Lou,
I'm sure that somebody will correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the =3D
point
was that if the ambient air temperature goes from 70=3DB0 to 100=3DB0 =3D
(really hot,
but not too hot for the potter), then the temperature at the circuit =3D
board
might also rise 30=3DB0, possibly putting it above the recommended =3D
maximum.=3D20

If the room is too hot for the electronics on the kiln (158F ), it is =3D
also
too hot for the potter and the proper solution is to increase the
ventilation of the kiln room.

That's correct. The temperature inside the kiln's control
panel is higher than the ambient room temperature.
As a general rule, the room temperature, measured 3 feet
from the electric kiln, should not exceed 110F. Use fans to
lower the temperature. This simple solution works in even
the hottest weather provided you have sufficient cross
ventilation through open windows.
Excessive heat in the summer will damage not only a circuit
board but also infinite control switches, relays, and
transformers.
