Hi Sue,
I take it that you do not plan on using this kiln as an electric kiln any
more. If this is the case, there is no need to take out the elements or
remove the electrical components.
Obviously, make sure the kiln is no longer connected to power. It would be
a good idea to cut the electrical cord off.
Let me know how else i can help,
