Unleash Your Pottery Potential with the Olympic Kilns - 1214FLE

Ready to take your pottery skills to the next level? The Olympic Kilns 1214FLE is your key to achieving precise firing, enhanced control, and unlimited creative possibilities. With its robust features and customizable options, this kiln is perfect for both beginners and seasoned ceramic artists looking for a reliable and versatile kiln.

Unparalleled Firing Precision

Achieve consistent and accurate results with the 1214FLE. Firing up to Cone 8/2300°F, in a 11.25" W x 13.5" D (front-to-back) x 9.75" H (at its peak) chamber, this electric kiln is engineered to deliver flawless results every time, allowing you to bring your ceramics to life with precision.

(Note: If you opt for the quartz viewing window, the maximum firing temperature will be 1700°F.)

Take Control with Advanced Firing Technology

The 1214FLE comes standard with the highly capable Digital KilnStar controller, offering you easy-to-use, precise control over your firing schedules. This controller allows you to customize firing profiles to match your specific artistic needs, making it ideal for frequent or large-scale projects. With simple navigation and accuracy, the KilnStar ensures every piece is fired to perfection.

For even more customization and advanced features, consider upgrading to the Genesis Touchscreen controller. This upgrade offers an intuitive interface and the ability to store up to 12 different programs with 32 segments each, giving you unmatched flexibility and control over your firing cycles.

Front Loading Door Options for Convenience

The 1214FLE is designed with a front-loading door for easy access, giving you the choice between a bottom-hinged or guillotine-hinged door. Both options offer smooth operation, so you can select the design that best suits your workflow.

Customization Options to Suit Your Needs

Tailor the Olympic 1214FLE to meet your studio’s requirements. Choose the voltage that fits your setup and select the door style and controller that work best for you. You can also add optional features such as a bead door, quartz viewing window, casters for mobility, and more to enhance your kiln’s functionality and your creative process.

Solid State Relays: The Ultimate Investment

Upgrade to solid state relays for superior temperature control and efficiency. These relays provide more precise control than mechanical ones, extend the life of your kiln’s elements, and reduce energy costs. Solid state relays are durable and reliable, often lasting the entire lifespan of the kiln—making them a wise investment for any ceramic artist.

Mobility and Safety

Move your kiln effortlessly with the optional stand featuring caster wheels, and ensure safety with an automatic power interrupt switch that turns off the elements when the kiln is opened. These features enhance both the flexibility and safety of your workspace.

Maximize Your Kiln’s Capacity with a Furniture Kit

Optimize your kiln’s interior with the custom furniture kit, which includes (2) 9" x 12" rectangular shelves, assorted posts, and either a 1 pound of bag of kiln wash (if your focus is more ceramics) or a square foot of ceramic paper (if you focus more on glasswork). These accessories help you make the most of your kiln’s chamber space during each firing, allowing for more efficient production.

FAQs - Configuring Your Kiln

There are certain selections you must choose. And then there are options you can click on or ignore. The answers below should help you make the best choices for you.

 Which Kiln Voltage Should I Select?

Higher voltage means lower amperage draw and greater efficiency, which can save money long term. 240V and 208V cost the same—most home studios use 240V, while 208V is common in schools or large facilities. Amperage refers to the amount of electrical current a kiln draws—higher amps require heavier wiring and breakers.

What's The Difference Between Single-Phase and Three-Phase?

Single-phase is what almost all homes have. If your facility has three-phase, you can choose either—but three-phase is typically the better long-term option due to smoother power and improved efficiency.

Which Relay Option Do I Need?

Mechanical relays are standard and reliable. Solid-state relays (SSR) offer silent operation, faster cycling, greater precision, and longer lifespan—ideal for frequent or high-accuracy firings.

What Are The Differences Between Kiln Controllers?

The following controllers are used across kilns sold by Pottery Pulse. Not all models offer every option—available controllers are listed on each product page. Some kilns include only the standard controller, while most allow upgrades for added precision and convenience.

Olympic Kilns

  • Infinite Switch – Manual dial control for simple heat adjustments.
  • KilnStar – Digital controller with preset and user-defined programs.
  • Genesis – Advanced touchscreen interface with Wi-Fi and data logging.

Evenheat Kilns

  • Icon – Digital 3-button controller for straightforward firing.
  • RampMaster II – Manual digital controller for ceramic kilns; flexible ramp/hold programming.
  • RampMaster 3 – Updated version for glass kilns with refined interface.
  • Icon+ – Enhanced digital control with expanded profiles and precision.
  • TAP II – Smart touchscreen controller with Wi-Fi, data tracking, and remote access.

Hot Shot Kilns

  • Novus – “Set & Go” controller: set a target temperature and it does the rest (no segments).
  • Spark – Entry-level touchscreen controller with intuitive operation and limited program control.
  • TAP II – Smart touchscreen controller with Wi-Fi and real-time monitoring.

Jen-Ken Kilns

  • Orton AF3P 3-Button – Reliable and straightforward for basic firing.
  • Orton AutoFire 4000 12-Key – Expanded program capacity and fine control.
  • Orton AutoFire Slide Touchscreen – Modern, responsive touchscreen interface.
  • TAP II Touchscreen Smart Controller – Wi-Fi connectivity and real-time data tracking.

What Are Collars For?

Not all kilns can use a collar, but Olympic’s Hot Box kilns can be ordered with a collar to expand versatility. A blank collar simply adds height to the firing chamber, while a bead collar adds the same height and includes a built-in bead or annealing door for quick-access lampwork projects.

What Does The Power Interrupt Switch Do?

This safety feature automatically cuts power to the heating elements whenever the kiln lid or door is opened. It prevents accidental burns, protects elements, and resumes power only when safely closed. (Also called an automatic lid shutoff on Olympic kilns.)
