INSTALLATION
This oven is crated and packaged for long-distance shipment.
Exercise care in removing the oven from the wooden crate.
Open the oven door and remove packing material, manuals and
loose parts.
WIRING
Check type and voltage on nameplate.
1. 100FX Model 4 (120V AC only) single phase
2. 100FX Model 6 (240V AC only) single phase
GROUNDING
The 120V ovens have a three blade plug cap with grounding plug
(NEMA 5-15P) attached to a 10 foot power supply cord. When
used with a grounded receptacle, these ovens meet all local
electrical code requirements.
The 240V ovens have a 10 foot power supply cord. When used
with a grounded receptacle, these ovens meet all local electrical
code requirements.
FLUX PLACEMENT
For ease in unloading, Type 100FX ovens can be loaded using
filled pails. If preferred, bulk flux can be directly loaded into the
oven. This oven will hold four (4) 25 lb capacity pails or 150 lb of
bulk flux.
GUIDE TO STORAGE
Flux should be stored according to electrode supplier
recommendations. In the absence of detailed storage information
from your flux manufacturer, the Guide To Electrode and Flux
Stabilization section in this manual may help indicate
approximate temperatures.
A laminated version of the Guide To Electrode and Flux
Stabilization is available by contacting Phoenix International, Inc.
TEMPERATURE SETTINGS
Temperature range is 100˚F (38˚C) to 350˚F (177˚C). e
thermostat dial is calibrated from 100˚ to 550˚F. Required oven
temperature setting is obtained by rotation of dial to line up
desired temperature with indicator light in the thermostat housing.
e indicator light only operates when the voltage is applied to the
heating elements. Momentary rotation past desired temperature
setting may be necessary to activate the indicator light to locate for
indexing purposes.
ermostat is accurate to +/-25˚F (14˚C) at the sensing bulb;
however, temperature may vary slightly at dierent areas in the
oven chamber since this is a convection type oven.
WARNING
Excess Heat: At maximum setting, the actual temperature in
portions of the oven near the heating elements may exceed the
upper range.
REPAIR: SPARE PARTS
Enclosed with these instructions are wiring diagrams and a
repair parts list for your oven. For critical welding operations
requiring continuous holding we suggest carrying all the parts
listed in the Suggested Spare Parts section in this manual.

WIRING DIAGRAMS
NOTE:
Jumper wires must be installed outside
of insulation.
Thermometer probe wire (not shown) must
be installed outside of insulation.
CAUTION:
All wiring should be done by licensed
electricians in accordance with state and
local codes, as well as the NEC (National
Electrical Code) Standards. Improper
installation or use may result in serious
injury. Always remove oven from power
source before troubleshooting or repairing.
CAUTION:
Disconnect power before opening or
servicing unit. Make sure oven is cooled
before opening or servicing unit.
Hot Surfaces! Use extreme care to avoid
possible burns or personal injury. Protective
gloves and personal protective equipment
are recommended.

SUGGESTED SPARE PARTS
120 VOLT and 240 VOLT MODELS
For normal daily operation, the following spare parts and
quantities are recommended to have inventoried for every
10 units of DryRod ovens in use.
NOTE:
For users of large oven quantities, or users not in North America, we recommend keeping an inventory
of additional spare parts to support day to day operation.

OVEN FAILS TO OPERATE: NO HEAT
1. If oven indicator light will not illuminate, check power supply.
2. Check plug at outer end of power cord and run continuity
check on complete power cord. If defective, replace cord
assembly.
3. Check indicator light for continuity. See Repair Parts drawing
for access details. If defective, replace indicator light.
4. Check thermostat. If indicator light illuminates, power is
being supplied through thermostat to heating elements. Turn
knob from low to high setting and return. A definite “snap”
should be heard at low temperature end and indicator light
should turn off and on with each “snap” cycle. If “snap” is
not heard and indicator light fails to operate, replace entire
thermostat.
5. If thermostat operates satisfactorily, check continuity of
heating elements at bottom center of oven. Failure of one
element will cause very slow heating.
OVEN OPERATES: OVERHEATS
1. Check thermostat operation as in Step 4 (Oven Fails to
Operate: No Heat) and Step 2 (Oven Operates: Temperature
Setting Off).
OVEN OPERATES: TEMPERATURE SETTING OFF
1. Check thermostat operation as in Step 4 (Oven Fails to
Operate: No Heat) and Step 2 (Oven Operates: Temperature
Setting Off).
2. If thermostat operates satisfactorily, recalibrate per thermostat
calibration adjusting sheet.
TROUBLESHOOTING
NOTE:
When replacing heating elements, always
replace all elements. Pairing of new element
with old elements may cause
rapid failure of the old element.
