Product Description

Prior to Use

1. Check for correct power supply cord and plug. Confirm that the voltage

selector switch setting corresponds with the power supply to be used. Unit is

set to 240V when shipped.

2. Verify the oven is empty before heating.

3. Check nameplate for voltage ratings.

4. Check for desired thermometer (if equipped) display units (°F or °C). Unit is

set to °F when shipped. To change to °C, see Temperature Indication section

in this manual.

Power Supply

DryRod®II ovens are designed to run on AC voltage and accept either 120 or 240

volts +/-10%. When power is supplied, the indicator light will illuminate.

DryRod II ovens are supplied with a voltage selector switch to operate on either

120 or 240 AC voltage. Please be sure to set the switch to the proper voltage being

used. Operation outside these voltages will impact oven temperature.

Amp Draw

Ovens operating on 120 AC voltage draw 5 amps. Those operating on 240 AC

voltage draw 2.6 amps.

Power Cords

DryRod II ovens are supplied with a female IEC 320 locking power inlet. This inlet

accepts a male IEC 320 locking power cord to provide a fixed connection. The

secured cord can be removed for replacement by applying pressure to the yellow

tab on top of the locking power

cord.

DryRod II oven power cords are

rated for 100-240 volts. When

connected to a properly grounded

receptacle, these ovens meet the

nationally recognized standards for

which they are marked.

DryRod II ovens are available with a

three blade North American power

cord for 120 volt AC operation. The

ovens are also available with a

European/Schuko plug configuration

for operation on 240 volt AC. (See

Replacement Parts section in this manual for optional power cords. See front page

for standard oven configuration with power cord options.)

Electrode Storage

Type 15 Series ovens will fit two full 50 pound cans of electrodes with additional

secondary storage.

DryRod II ovens are not airtight, and electrodes stored within will start absorbing

ambient moisture as soon as the oven cools. We recommend removal of electrodes

at shift end and storage in suitable larger holding ovens until re-issued.

DryRod II ovens are not to be used for re-baking or re-conditioning contaminated

electrodes. They are designed to accept electrodes in 100% usable condition and to

maintain that condition until consumed at the job site. For optimum stabilization,

oven should be hot when loaded and kept powered as long as electrodes are being

stored.

Temperature Settings

DryRod II ovens utilize a variable thermostat, providing an operating range of 100°-

300°F (38°-149°C) average stabilized load temperatures.

The oven operating temperature is set by rotating the thermostat knob clockwise to

increase the temperature of the unit. To decrease the temperature rotate the knob

counter clockwise. This setting is approximate and may need slight adjustment

once the oven temperature stabilizes.

Temperature Indication

DryRod II ovens (part #1205530 and #1205531) are supplied with an optional

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.

Wheels and Retracting Handle

Specific models of the DryRod II ovens (part #1205532 and #1205530) are supplied

with wheels and a retracting handle for easy portability.

The wheels are supplied with a steel hub and ball bearings to withstand wear over

years of service. The handle is supplied with a pin and clip to lock the handle in

either the extended or retracted positions. The retracted position is typically used

for shipping and/or storage of the oven.

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.

Locking power inlet and cord

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.

• Do not use handles to lift loaded oven. Serious injury may result.

Troubleshooting

Oven Fails To Operate: No Heat

1. If the indicator light does not illuminate, check power supply.

2. Confirm cord is plugged fully into power inlet. Check complete power cord for

continuity. If defective, replace the entire cord.

3. Check indicator light. Using a volt meter, confirm voltage to the light leads. If

voltage is confirmed and light does not illuminate, replace light. Please note

the indicator light is neon and cannot be checked for continuity.

4. Disconnect heating element from the thermostat (under shell top/lid

assembly). Check heating element for continuity. If no continuity, replace

heating element.

5. Disconnect wiring from the thermostat. Turn the thermostat knob to the

lowest temperature setting (counter-clockwise). Check for continuity through

thermostat. If no continuity, replace thermostat.

Oven Operates: Overheats, Low Heat,

Does Not Heat to Desired Temperature

1. Check power supply to confirm voltage is within acceptable range of 120 or

240 volts AC +/-10%.

2. Check that the voltage selector switch setting corresponds with the power

supply to be used.

3. Check that the variable thermostat is properly set to the desired temperature.

4. Check that enough time has been allowed for heat-up. A cold, fully loaded

oven may take up to four hours to fully heat and stabilize.

5. Check that the variable thermostat is securely mounted. A loosely mounted

thermostat will not properly sense the oven temperature.

Thermometer Indicates in Wrong Units:

˚F or ˚C (if equipped)

1. Disconnect power from the unit.

2. Remove the bottom cover from the base to expose thermometer battery

housing.

3. Changing to either °F or °C is accomplished by pressing the button located in

the battery holder.

4. Reinstall the battery and bottom cover prior to putting the oven back in

service.

Thermometer Inoperable (if equipped):

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.) Check that display is operational. If

not, replace thermometer (part #1257420). (See Replacement Parts section

in this manual.)

4. Reinstall the battery and bottom cover prior to putting the oven back in

service.

CAUTION

• Disconnect power before opening or servicing unit. Make sure oven is

cooled before opening or servicing unit.

• Surfaces are hot! Use extreme care to avoid possible burns or personal

injury. Protective gloves and personal protective equipment are

recommended.
