Prior to Use
1. Run oven at 300°F (150°C) for two hours with the vent hole fully open
and the oven doors slightly open. This will help purge the oven of any
contaminants.
2. Contact the wire manufacturer regarding the appropriate temperatures for
holding the spools of wire, specifically plastic spools.
3. If using plastic spools in the dryWIRE® oven, test a few spools in the oven at
the manufacturer's recommended temperature. If warping or core distortion
occurs, turn temperature down 10°F (5°C) and retest. If neccessary, continue
testing.
Amp Draw
Ovens operating on 120 AC voltage draw 8.5 amps. Those operating on 240 AC
voltage draw 4.2 amps.
Wiring
dryWIRE® ovens are designed for AC single phase power only.
Note: dryWIRE® ovens are factory wired for 120 volts and can be rewired for 240
volts. Refer to wiring diagram.
Venting
For normal holding operation set easily adjusted vent on the door about 1/4 of the
way open.
Temperature Settings
The dryWIRE® oven temperature range is 100°F (38°C) to 300°F (150°C). The
thermostat dial has a range from 32°F (0°C) to 300°F (150°C). Required oven
temperature setting is obtained by rotation of dial to line up desired temperature
with indicator light.
The indicator light illuminates only when voltage is being applied to the
heating elements. Momentary rotation past desired temperature setting may
be necessary to activate the indicator light in order to locate it for indexing
purposes.
Thermostat is accurate to +/-15°F (8°C) at the sensing bulb, however, temperature
may vary slightly at different areas in the oven chamber since this is a convection
type oven.
Excess Heat: At maximum setting, the actual temperature in portions of the
oven near the heating elements may reach approximately 400°F (204°C).
Temperatures over 400°F (204°C) are not recommended. They may cause oven
damage and/or unacceptably high exterior surface temperatures.
Product Description
Temperature Indication
dryWIRE® Type 4 ovens are supplied with a battery powered digital thermometer to
indicate the actual temperature inside oven in either °F or °C.
The thermometers are supplied in °F mode. Conversion to °C mode is accomplished
by pressing the button located in the battery holder. This will cycle between °F and
°C. Thermometers are powered by one AA battery.
Replacement of the battery is also covered in the troubleshooting section of this
manual.
Guide to Storage
Once flux cored wire is removed from its initial packaging, the unused portion
should be stored in a dryWIRE® oven not to exceed 300°F (150°C) for coils or wire
baskets, 250°F (121°C) for fiberboard spools or 150°F (65°C) for plastic spools.
Never store wire in its original plastic bag. Precise temperatures for wire storage
and reconditioning should be obtained from the wire manufacturer's technical
department.
Note: Temperatures exceeding this will damage the spool and render the wire
un-usable.
Reconditioning flux cored wire exhibiting weld metal porosity or “worm tracks”
due to moisture absorption by the flux can be reconditioned by rebaking the wire.
The exact time and temperature for rebake are determined by the wire and
the spool material. Wire coils, masonite spools or wire baskets are typically
rebaked in a range of 230°F - 300°F (110°C - 149°C) for a minimum of 6 to 12
hours. Wire on plastic spools cannot be rebaked because of the inability of the
plastic to withstand high temperature. Precise temperatures for wire storage
and reconditioning should be obtained from the wire manufacturer's technical
department.
Another important factor in the storing and rebaking of flux cored wire is the
lubricant on the outside of the wire. Some lubricants can be damaged by high
temperature. Contact the wire manufacturer for possible damage.
CAUTION:
• To provide continued protection against risk of electrical shock, power
cord must be connected to a properly grounded outlet.
• To avoid damage, never place oven in contact with welding current.
• Store in dry location. Unit not to be exposed to rain or moisture.

Troubleshooting
Oven Fails To Operate:
No Heat, Overheats
1. If the indicator light does not illuminate, check power supply.
2. Check indicator light for continuity. If defective, replace indicator light.
3. Check thermostat on front. If indicator light illuminates, power is being
supplied through thermostat to dual heating elements. Turn knob from
low to high setting and return. 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. (See Replacement Parts section in this manual.)
4. If thermostat operates satisfactorily, check continuity of heating elements
at bottom of oven. (Access through removable lower panels.) Failure of one
element will prevent oven operation on 240 volts. If operating on 120 volts
failure of one element will cause very slow heating. If defective, remove oven
from power source and replace both elements.
Thermometer Indicates in Wrong Units:
˚F or ˚C (if equipped)
1. Disconnect power from the unit.
2. Remove the cover near the base on the left hand side of the oven to expose
thermometer battery housing.
3. Changing to either °F or °C is accomplished by pressing the button located in
the battery holder.
4. Re-install the battery and bottom cover prior to putting the oven back in
service.
Thermometer Inoperable:
Replace Battery
Indicated by a weak or absent display.
1. Disconnect power from the unit.
2. Remove the bottom cover from the base.
3. Remove the battery from the holder and replace with a fresh AA 1.5V battery.
(Alkaline batteries are recommended.)
4. Reinstall the battery and bottom cover prior to putting the oven back in
service.
Checking Thermostat Calibration
Each thermostat is adjusted at the factory and calibrated on precision instruments
to control temperatures accurately. Adjustment or re-calibration is not needed
unless the thermostat has been mishandled in transit or changed or abused while
in service.
To check calibration:
1. Use a good grade mercury thermometer to check temperature. For griddle
control, use a disc type thermocouple. Put a couple drops of oil on griddle
surface plate and place thermocouple disc flat into the oil.
2. Turn the dial of the termostat to 300° mark.
3. Allow enough time for temperature to stabilize or until several temperature
readings are identical.
CAUTION
• When replacing heating elements, always replace both elements. Pairing
of one new element with an old element will cause rapid failure of old
element.

Wiring
CAUTION
• All wiring should be done by a licensed electrician
in accordance with state codes, local codes, and
National Electrical Code (NEC) or International Electric
Commission (IEC) standards. Improper installation or
use may result in serious injury.
• Always remove oven from power source before
troubleshooting or repairing.
Eliminate expensive rework and protect welding profits!
This guide explains proper storage and oven holding temperatures:
• Recondition/rebake procedures for electrode coatings exposed to moisture are included.
• Remove electrodes from cardboard containers before placing in ovens.
• Electrode coatings should not be exposed to the re-baking temperature without first being reconditioned at a lower temperature. Failure to do so may result
in breakdown of electrode coatings. After re-baking, lower temperature to holding level until reissued.
