Rudy,
 
I understand your concern.  Our system is set for 155°F during the dry cycle.  So far I haven't seen any failures that I could attribute to over baking in the dry cycle.  An advantage to this dry cycle is uniformity.  As with many processes with human intervention there can be non-uniformity from batch to batch.  Dare I say this bake cycle makes the process more goof proof?

Re:  Heated dry cycle....

I am concerned about the heat cycle being longer/more extreme than the components are designed to deal with....

Yes, a blow off must be done VERY carefully to be completely effective...and that may be asking a bit much...but frying components would be worse.
