Default Contactor with 220 v coil?

Hey guys, I purchased this contactor, >

http://www.famousparts.com/c25bnf240aco.html

it has a 120v coil. I believe that I need a contactor with a 220v coil. A buddy of mine took a look at my wiring schematic and mentioned that I would need a 220v coil. Of course I dismissed his advice because it was mentioned here that it was the correct one. (My fault, not anyone here)

Today I was firing my oven to operating temperature for the first time and after about 10 minutes of so, I heard a pop in my control box. I shut it down, disconnected the power and opened up the control box. It looks like I blew the coil. (Which is rated at 110v.)

My controller is a 220v model, so I guess I need a contactor with a 220v coil (?) can any one suggest where I might get one, or might I be over looking something?
