Frequently asked questions

What electrical service do I need?

Each model's voltage, amperage, breaker, wire gauge and receptacle or plug are listed in the Specifications and Electrical requirements above. Check your setup with our Electrical Readiness Checker, and have a licensed electrician confirm your circuit before the kiln arrives.

What's the difference between standard and 3-inch brick?

Jen-Ken's 3" brick offers about 20% more insulation than standard brick, for better energy efficiency and heat retention, and is suited to frequent, production-level firing. Ask us about the brick options for this model.

How is freight quoted?

Jen-Ken kilns are made to order and ship direct from the manufacturer. We confirm the current lead time with you when you order.

Can I return it?

Eligible items can be returned within 90 days of delivery if they're unused, in original packaging, and haven't been wired in or fired. Custom or built-to-order units aren't returnable, and the customer covers return freight. Contact us for a return authorization before shipping anything back. Full details are in our Return Policy.

What warranty does it have?

Jen-Ken includes a 2-year limited warranty covering both the kiln and the controller. If something develops a fault, contact us and we'll coordinate the warranty claim.
