How to Request Warranty Service
All repair work must be authorized, either by Skutt, or by an authorized Skutt Distributor before the
work is done. If you believe your kiln is going to require warranty servicing, the rst step is to call the
Distributor from whom you purchased the kiln. If they are unable to provide or coordinate service, call
Skutt Ceramic Products and ask for our Technical Service Department. 503-774-6000
Skutt has one of the most extensive networks of Distributors in the country. However, not all areas
have a trained kiln technician. We realize that re-packaging and shipping your kiln is not a realistic op-
tion for most of our customers. Many of our Distributors have trained kiln technicians either on staff or
with which they contract. Often times these technicians will travel to your business or home to do the
repair. Skutt will pay them for their time on the job. It is your responsibility to pay them for their travel
time to and from your location.
