Installation

If a DaVinci is installed on a smooth floor and the lid is opened a lot, or left open for long periods of time, the weight of the lid will cause the counterbalance to want to lean forward.

• This is fine to do if you are careful.

L&L's official recommendation is for an electrician to connect the kiln to power.

• Before you purchase oil, check to be sure that you do not have a motor with sealed bearings.
• A motor with sealed bearings is permanently lubricated and does not require oil.
  

This is not a standard option on L&L Kilns due to the remote mounting of the vent fan motor. However, it is easily done.

This question gets asked a lot around the holidays.

L&L's official line on cooling the kiln is leave it alone until it reaches 200F, then you can open it and unload it.
