Product Description
Wiring
Check type and voltage on nameplate.
Type 300 (120/240V AC only) single phase
Type 300 (240/480V AC only) single phase
Note: 120/240 volt models are wired at the factory for 120 volts. For 240 volt use,
change heating element jumper connections. Refer to wiring diagrams.
240/480 volt models are wired at the factory for 240 volts. For 480 volt use,
change heating element jumper connections. Provide a plug of the corresponding
voltage rating for connection to the power supply. Refer to wiring diagrams.
Grounding
The 120/240 volt ovens have a three blade plug with grounding prong (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 and are ETL
listed.
The 240/480 volt ovens have a 10 foot power supply cord. When used with a
grounding plug and a grounded receptacle, these ovens meet all local code
requirements and are ETL listed.
Amp Draw
Ovens operating on 120 AC voltage draw 8.3 amps. Those operating on 240 AC
voltage draw 4 amps. Those operating on 480 AC voltage draw 2 amps.
Accessory Note
A Door Mounted Thermometer
(part #1250300) is available for
Type 300 Series ovens and can
be easily installed in the field.
Factory installation is available
with original order (see chart on
cover). This thermometer indicates
internal temperature range of
100˚ to 700˚F with an accuracy
specification of +/-10˚. Product
accuracy testing is conducted using
standards traceable to the N.I.S.T.,
USA.
Accessory Note
Stacking provision for Type 300
ovens is available with original
order. Stacking permits two Type
300 ovens to occupy the same floor
space as one. For each stack, only
ONE oven needs to be ordered with
the stacking lugs. Stacking lugs
(factory installed only) on lower
oven bolt to feet of any Type 300
oven, whether in the field or newly
ordered.
Electrode Placement
DryRod ovens have divided shelves to allow storage of more than one group of
electrodes. It is recommended to store different electrodes in separate ovens to
avoid contamination. Spread the electrodes evenly, allowing space over each shelf
for air circulation required to remove excess moisture. The maximum suggested
layer depth on any shelf is 5 inches.
Temperature Settings
Temperature range is 100°F (38°C) to 550°F (288°C). The thermostat dial (at rear of
oven) is calibrated from 100° to 550°F. Obtain required oven temperature setting
by rotating dial to line up desired temperature with indicator light in the thermostat
housing.
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 +/-25°F (14°C) at the sensing bulb; however, temperature
may vary slightly at different areas in the oven chamber because this is a
convection type oven.
At the maximum setting, the actual temperature in portions of the oven near the
heating elements may reach approximately 660°F (349°C).
Temperatures over 550°F (288°C) are not recommended. They may cause oven
damage and/or unacceptably high exterior surface temperatures.
Venting
For normal holding operation, set easily adjustable vent on the door about ¼ of the
way open. For replacement vents, see Replacement Parts section in this manual.
Guide to Storage
Electrodes should be stored according to electrode supplier recommendations.
In the absence of storage information from your electrode manufacturer, please
reference Phoenix's Guide To Electrode and Flux Stabilization for approximate
temperatures, found at www.dryrod.com/guide.
Door mounted thermometer
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 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 dual hairpin style
heating elements at bottom center of oven. Failure of one element will
prevent oven operation on 480 volts. If operating on 120 or 240 volts, failure
of one element will cause very slow heating.
6. If thermostat operates satisfactorily, recalibrate thermostat. (See Checking
Thermostat Calibration section below).
Door Will Not Close Properly
1. Use screwdriver to adjust door latch.
2. If latch is broken, replace with Door Latch and Strike (Part #1252200). (See
Replacement Parts section in this manual).
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 high 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 thermostat to 325° mark.
3. Allow enough time for temperature to stabilize or until several temperature
readings are identical.
To calibrate:
1. Remove knob from dial shaft by pulling knob straight out.
2. With screwdriver, turn screw clockwise to decrease and counterclockwise to
increase temperature. Do not allow dial shaft to turn during this operation. A
¼ turn of the screw equals approximately 35°.
3. Replace knob or control dial.
4. After calibrating, let the appliance operate until the temperature has
stabilized, then recheck to determine if the calibration has been successful.
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
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 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.
