Electrodes should never be stored in an oven that is used for food storage.

Low-hydrogen electrodes may be stored in ovens with cellulose-based electrodes, but must be in their original, unopened containers.

Electrode ovens should be heated by any means, but must have automatic heat controls and visible temperature indicators.

Low-hydrogen electrodes should never be stored with stainless-steel electrodes.
