Product Description
Installation
This oven is created and packaged for long-distance shipment. Exercise care in
removing the oven from the wooden crate.
After oven is in its final location, anchor as required, open the oven door and
remove packing material, manuals and loose parts.
Wiring
Check type and voltage on nameplate.
Type 950FX (240V AC only) three phase
Type 950FX (480V AC only) three phase
Grounding
The 950FX Series ovens have a grounding lug in the upper control box.
Amp Draw
Ovens operating on 240 AC voltage draw 12.5 amps. Those ovens operating on 480
AC voltage draw 6.25 amps.
Flux Placement
Type 950FX ovens can be loaded by removing cover (hanging it on side of oven
using built-in hook) and pouring flux directly into oven. Set desired temperature,
remove flux open valve on lower side of unit and close when sufficient quantity has
run out.
Temperature Settings
Temperature range is 100°F (38°C) to 450°F (232°C). The 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.
The indicator light operates only when the voltage is 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 as this is a convection type
oven.
Excess Heat: At maximum setting, the actual temperature in portions of the oven
near the heating elements may exceed the upper range.
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.
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
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 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).
2. If thermostat continues to operate satisfactorily, recalibrate per "Checking
Thermostat Calibration" section below.
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 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 may cause rapid failure of old
element.

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.
