Julianna, really pay attention to what Howard has said here. He knows of
what he speaks!!!! Someone even recommended that you get a 25 amp
breaker. If they were refering to the breaker size for you kiln they are
nuts. As Howard says, make certain that you use the breaker size that is
recommended for the kiln by Cress!
Just wanting to reiterate the best advice yet
One other thing......check out what the service to your house is. If it
is only a 100amp or 125 amp service you may end up with problems trying
to run your kiln off that service as well as what you may normally be
running in your house at the same time., Especially if you have anything
else in the house which will draw a large amount of current such as an
electric stove, electric heater, electric airconditioner (window
type/central), or an electric dryer.
Hope this helps
