Hi Janet,
Yes ,you are correct technically and legally. Also here in Australia =
same rules apply. So I assume that all over the world is the same : =
electricity safety rules should not differ from country to country.
Another safety feature is that all the kilns made in Australia that I =
have seen do have a cut off power switch when the door is open. Is this =
another requirement by the local authority safety rules ? I think so.
For those who are not convinced, they should ask their local =
electricity authority.
It is the responsibility of the owner of the equipment to make sure that =
it is installed according to the local regulations. In case of accident =
the Law and Insurance company will not accept excuses.

Hi, fellow Claybuds,
Sometimes hardwiring--though preferable--is not allowed. I bought an
"add-on" Skutt kiln controller which my kiln plugs into; the controller
hangs on the wall, and then plugs into the 220 outlet. According to the
directions from Skutt, if I had modified the wiring, my warrantee would have
been lost.
