• Use special care when moving heavily loaded units.
• Do not store combustible material on or around the unit.
• Do not operate this unit empty.
• When using the unit at a distance where an extension cord becomes necessary, a 3-conductor
grounding cord of adequate size must be used for safety, and to prevent loss of power and
overheating. Use only a UL listed extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Make certain wire size is
large enough for A/C amperage rating of unit.
Operation
To load oven, lift handle and place plunger into loading position by hooking tab located on center
rod of plunger onto lip of center tube. To unload, simply lift plunger and remove electrodes. The oven
capacity is 15 lbs. of 18” electrodes.
To turn on the unit, simply plug the 8’ UL listed power cord into power source of appropriate
voltage. Oven may be operated on direct current
IF AMPLE VOLTAGE IS AVAILABLE. (Check name
plate for voltage.) Unit will not heat to capacity without appropriate voltage.
On 240V models, the plug is not supplied due to the many different receptical configurations in
the field. When attaching the plug to the power cord, be sure the plug is an approved component and is
rated for the proper voltage and amperage. All units meet electrical code requirements when used with a
grounding plug and a grounded receptical.
Temperature Setting
The model K-15R is a non-thermostatically controlled oven with a temperature range of 100º-
300ºF depending on the length of time used and the amount of electrodes stored. The element wattage in
this unit is designed so that temperatures will not exceed 300ºF.
Guide to Storage
See the enclosed guide to storage. This guide may be used in the absence of storage information
from the electrode manufacturer. In critical situations, contact your electrode manufacturer.
Functional Description
Model K-15R ovens are portable units. They are not designed for long-term storage. The units
hold 15lbs. of 18” electrodes and are used for transfer of electrodes from holding ovens to the job site.
Scheduled Maintenance
The manufacturer recommends that the unit be unloaded and cleaned of debris and dust every
three months by removing the plunger from center tube and turning unit upside down and tapping gently
on bottom. It is recommended to inspect the power supply cord for damage at this time. Replace cord if
damaged.
