GENERAL INFORMATION

RECEIVING

Inspect unit thoroughly at time of delivery. Report any visible damage to the carrier immediately. If the damage is "concealed" and not discovered until after delivery has been accepted, make a "concealed damage report" to the carrier. "Concealed damage report" forms may be obtained from the carrier's agent.

This procedure must be followed: All shipments, i.e., complete range or parts, are shipped at the buyer's risk. Manufacturer's responsibility ends when the consignment is accepted by the carrier in "good order". Manufacturer will give every assistance on damage claims by supplying any necessary supporting papers, such as invoices or bills of lading. It must be understood that this assistance does not imply acceptance of responsibility for settlement of such claims. Claims for loss or damage cannot be deducted from the invoice or payment of the invoice cannot be withheld pending adjustment of claims. Do not return any unit or parts for credit without written consent.

CARE AND HANDLING OF PORCELAIN ENAMEL

1. Porcelain enamel is glass that has been fused onto a metal surface. Because it is glass, however, it cannot be guaranteed.

It is impossible to make perfect color match in commercial enamel, and occasional variations must be expected. Minor imperfections are not just causes for complaint or rejection.

Porcelain will not stand heavy, sharp blows from cooking utensils or any other object.

soon as cool enough using dry cloth. If not cleaned, there may be noticeable smoke, odor, or visible dirt the next time the unit is used.

3. Crazing - Craze is the name given to the small hair line marks which are sometimes found in enameled surfaces after use. They look like little cracks, but they are not. The enamel around them will never chip or peel off due to these marks. As we cannot guarantee enamel against crazing or discoloration, the customer should be informed as to the proper care of enamel.

To the customer, any mark is a defect, as they do not understand enamel. They are afraid the enamel will peel or crack off leaving a rusty spot. This is not true as craze marks will never peel or crack. A craze mark is simply a place where the outer coat of enamel has separated. The dark color that appears in the crack is dust that catches in the opening.

To service a craze complaint, it is best to use the following: Explain crazing to the customer using as an illustration the effect of hot water in a cold glass it cracks. Compare it to the hairlines in dishes and cups due to continued heating and cooling. If the customer can be made to understand that the enamel will never come off, the customer will be satisfied.

One point to remember with service calls on crazing is to take care of it immediately. The longer the customer has to wait, the worse it appears to her. While this is true of all service work, it is especially true of crazing complaints. Make it a point to go out the same day the complaint is received.

In cleaning enamel, soap and water will usually suffice. Remove any discoloration promptly, but do not apply cold water to a hot surface.

Fruit juices, vegetable acids, sour milk, or strong mineral acids may discolor or etch enamel.

2. Cleaning Broiler Pan

For simplest method of cleaning, it is recommended that broiler pan be submerged in warm water immediately after use. Use a stiff brush, if necessary. Reheating broiler pan after it has been used without cleaning will result in fats and greases burning on and becoming much more difficult to remove.

NOTE: After the food has been removed from the oven or broiler, and the unit has been turned off, leave the oven and broiler door open for a few minutes to dry out the interior. If food has cooked over or grease has spattered the interior, clean the parts thoroughly as

CARE AND HANDLING OF CHROME, GLASS, OR METAL FINISH

To keep the stainless, chrome, or glass finishes "looking new" wash with soap and water, rinse, then dry with a clean cloth. If a polish is necessary, only the highest quality chrome cleaning compounds are recommended.

Finger marks and smears may easily be removed with a mild cleaner such as glass wax and simonize cleaner. Such agents should be used sparingly. Never use ordinary steel wool as it may leave a film of iron which will rust and discolor creating the illusion that the finish is rusting.

Never use harsh, gritty cleaners which can "age" or damage the porcelain and/or polished metal trim.

Never use strong chemical oven cleaners in a self-clean oven. They are unnecessary and their residues can produce noxious odors during self-clean, with oven temperatures of 900°F. or more.

Location

The location of the range should be selected so proper illumination, freedom from drafts, and convenience to other appliances in the kitchen are obtained. Carefully level the range, using the leveling legs provided. The range must be level in order to assure uniform cooking and baking. A level or a large pan of water placed on an oven rack or on top of range can be used to level the unit. The range is to be installed flush to rear wall, and may be installed flush to side base cabinets. Spacing to vertical side wall above cooking surface 3" (as shown in Figure 2), 6" (as shown in Figure 3), for ranges with elevated ovens. Minimum distance to horizontal combustible surface above cooking surface is 30" and must be the width of the range. Maximum depth of cabinets installed above the range is 13".

Ranges With Elevated Ovens

Figure 5

It is the responsibility of the installer to comply with the installation clearances specified on the rating plate attached to the appliance.

Single Ovens

Figure 4

NOTE: Clearance specified to combustible construction (walls and materials) are based on a temperature rise of wood structures resulting from appliance operation. These clearances are suitable for walls of studding, lath and plaster, or other types of combustible materials which have a density of 20 pounds per cubic foot or more. No evaluation of the clearances required has been made for installations adjacent to low density cellulose, fiber board, and similar materials which have a density of less than 20 pounds per cubic foot; nor to plastic tiles, or sheeting.

SECURE RANGE TO HOUSE STRUCTURE

For safety consideration means have been provided for this range, except one having an elevated oven, to be secured to th house wall behind the range, METHOD 1# (see Figure 5A). If the wall behind the range is solid wood or a vertical stud is available, a wood screw or lag bolt of sufficient length may be employed to secure the range. If the wall behind the range is not solid such as paneling or dry wall (sheet rock) construction use of a Molly Bolt is required. The anchor portion of the Molly Bolt should be of sufficient lenght to hold it securely to the building material. The thicker the material, the longer the anchor portion must be.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

CONNECTING TO GAS SUPPLY LINE

Access to connection is behind bottom storage drawer. The pressure regulator has a 1/2" female pipe thread. It is recommended that a 1/2" close nipple, a union and shutoff valve, be assembled into the regulator. This places the assembly for each connection to the gas supply and access to the shut-off valve as illustrated in Figure 1.

The gas supply pipe to the range should be 3/4" rigid pipe then reduced to 1/2" pipe at the pressure regulator. If a long run of fuel is required, a larger size pipe may be required. With the liquified petroleum (LP) gases, the size of the piping or tubing can be 1/2" minimum. LP gas suppliers usually determine the size and material used on the system. We do not recommend that flexible connectors be used in connecting our appliance to the gas supply, unless American Gas Association approved. Poorly designed connectors can be a source of gas leak. Even when AGA approved flexible connectors are used the customer should be cautioned against kinking or damaging the connector when moving the range for cleaning or any reason. This could cause a gas leak.

A shut-off valve should be installed in the line supplying gas to the range. Check local building codes and utility requirements. (See Figure 1 for details.)

A suitable pipe thread sealing material should be used, which is approved for use with LP gases.

Caloric ranges are designed for easy connection between the supply line and the inlet fitting. However, all strains must be removed from the supply and fuel lines so the range will be level and in line.

Use two (2) wrenches when connecting to the regulator.

burner valves should be closed and the gas supply turned on. All connections in the gas supply line and in the range should be tested with soap suds for any leaks. If a leak is present, bubbles will appear. The leak should be corrected by tightening the joint, or unscrewing it completely and applying additional dope. Any connections which may have been disturbed should be tested for leaks.

FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD

A LIGHTED MATCH OR FLAME SHOULD NEVER BE USED WHEN TESTING FOR LEAKS. ALL FITTINGS AND CONNECTIONS HAVE BEEN TIGHTENED AND TESTED AT THE FACTORY. IF A LEAK IS DETECTED, TIGHTEN THE FITTING, DO NOT USE PIPE DOPE ON FACTORY FITTINGS.

The gas supply pipe to the range should be 3/4" rigid pipe then reduced to 1/2" pipe at the pressure regulator. If a long run of fuel line is required, a larger size pipe may be required. With liquefied petroleum (LP) gases, the size of the piping or tubing can be 1/2" minimum. LP gas suppliers usually determine the size and material used on the system.

A shut-off valve should be installed in the line supplying gas to the range. Check local building codes and utility requirements.

A suitable pipe thread sealing material should be used, which is approved for use with LP gases.

FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD - LEAK TEST COMPONENTS AFTER CONNECTION.

THE REGULATOR IS DIE CAST AND WILL CRACK, RESULTING IN A GAS LEAKAGE AND POSSIBLE FIRE OR EXPLOSION, IF YOU MAKE THE CONNECTION TOO TIGHT.

The stack on the regulator must be in vertical position. BE SURE to use pipe dope to seal connections.

Be sure the shut-off valve is open between the inlet nipple and gas valve.

F. A 15-20 second delay should occur, and the oven

indicator light should then come on.

G. After the cycle begins, the oven should reach a

temperature in excess of normal broiling (approximately 700°). The "CLEAN" indicator light should come on, and the terminal lock system should lock and secure the oven door.

H. Turn selector switch from "CLEAN" to "OFF" and heat

control to "OFF".

I. When oven temperature has lowered to approxi-

mately 700° or less, the lock system should unlock the oven door allowing the latch handle to move freely.

2. Gas burners need sufficient air to operate. Objects should not be placed in front of or on maintop rear of range while in use. This could obstruct the air flow needed for combustion and vent for flue products.

BURNER CLEANING -

The burner heads are made of aluminum and should not be subjected to scouring or abrasive pads. Never not be subjected to scouring or abrasive pads. Never use steel wool or oven cleaners on the burner heads or they will dull and not regain their original luster.

To clean the burners, remove the burner grates and push the main top towards the rear of the range until the front tabs are free. Then raise the main top and remove or engage the main top support. This will support the main top while the burners are removed for cleaning.

Before attempting to remove the burners, be certain the four (4) burner mounting screws which retain the burners to the burner supports are removed. If the screws are still secured, they can be removed with a Phillips screwdriver.

To remove the burners, release the burner head brackets from the burner support, lift up and pull towards the rear of the range.

To replace the burners slip the Venturi (long, thin end) over the burner orifice and then position the burner locating brackets into the burner support channel. Reinstall the burner mounting screws.

DEFECTS

Any defects or faulty or damaged parts must be reported immediately and steps taken to correct them through normal dealer service channels.

POWER FAILURE

In the event of a power failure, safe manual lighting of the top burners is possible. To do this, hold a lighted match at the desired burner head (the part projecting above the main top), turn the top burner control knob to the light position.

The flame height can now be adjusted to the desired size. The broil and oven burners cannot be operated during a power failure and no attempt should be made to do so.

RC231002 Rev. 3 18

Wiping the burners following each use will remove spillover deposits and grease spatters before these soils get a chance to harden on the surface. Burnt soil can be cleaned by soaking the burners in warm water and a dishwashing liquid detergent such as "Dove" or "Lux". A dishcloth or nonabrasive pad (such as Dobie pad) should be used to rub the burner caps after the soaking period. Be sure the burners are dry, as water lodged in the burner parts might cause an uneven flame or interfere with automatic lighting.

If stains still remain after soaking, you can soak any heavily soiled burners in a solution of two tablespoons of "Dip-it" per quart of water. Use a large pan and enough water so the cap and base part of the burner assembly can be completely immersed; bring water to a boil, remove vessel from burner, and add measured amount of "Dip-it". Immerse the burner in the hot solution and soak for 20

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

minutes, no longer. Be sure the liquid completely covers the cap and base portion of the assembly. After 20 minutes, remove burner, cool slightly and rinse thoroughly with cold water. Be sure hands are protected to prevent burns from hot water. Be sure all the solution is completely rinsed off both the inside and outside of the burner. If some stains still remain, rub with a "Dobie" pad.

The burner may then be left to dry at room temperature or be placed in the oven at 170° for 1/2 hour. BE SURE TO

PROTECT YOUR HANDS WHEN REMOVING DRIED BURNERS FORM THE OVEN.

NOTE: These thermostats (Robertshaw) have a cement coating over the adjusting screw. Evidence of attempts to adjust these thermostat nullifies the warranty.

UNIVERSAL GAS ORIFICES

With the exception of the Broiler Burner and Sealed Top Burner, orifices for these models are of the coaxial type. They contain a double coaxial orifice hood and universal pin. The hood orifice is sized for Natural Gas (6 inches water column pressure). The pin orifice is sized for LP Gas (11 inches water column pressure).

The orifice is adjusted for Natural gas as shipped from the factory. It must be adjusted for use on LP gas. This requires that the orifice hood be screwed or turned down approximately two (2) turns onto the pin. The hood should be turned down snug but not tight to the point where it damages or distorts the pin. (See Figure 19.)

When set up for Natural Gas, gas flows around the pin and through the orifice of the hood which is sized for Natural Gas. When the hood is screwed down for LP gas, the gas flow is only through the hollow pin which is sized for LP gas.

For Thermostat Calibration on models with the Electronic Range Control (ERC), see section on ERC Operating and Testing Procedures.

When making any temperature adjustments, a reliable test instrument should be used to accurately determine the oven temperature.

A reliable test instrument of the thermocouple type is preferred which will allow temperature readings with the door closed.

Position the thermocouple clip of the test instrument on the center of the oven rack that is positioned in the center of the oven cavity. The thermocouple of the test instrument should be "weighted" or "loaded" in order to represent more closely the average cooking temperature of the oven versus the on-off cycling of the thermostat with the full rate gas valve. The procedure for loading a thermocouple is illustrated in Figure 20.

Figure 30 - Universal Orifice

OVEN THERMOSTAT KNOB ADJUSTMENT

Models without electronic Range Control (ERC)

Cooking recipes are written to take into consideration that oven thermostats have manufacturing tolerances, and may not provide an average temperature exactly on the thermostat setting. If the temperature average reading is beyond the ±25° tolerance range, a limited adjustment can be made with the adjustable skirt on the knob. The adjusting screw on the thermostat is sealed and no adjustment can or should be attempted. The rear of the adjustable skirt shown here is self-explanatory.

19 RC231002 Rev. 3

Figure 32 - "Loading" A Thermocouple

An 8 1/2 x 11-inch piece of aluminum foil should be folded five (5) times, doubling the thickness with each fold. After the fifth fold, place the thermocouple in the center of the aluminum piece as shown and fold once more. Finally, fold the sides so the foil clings to the thermocouple. The loaded thermocouple will then provide temperature readings on the thermometer that more closely resemble the mean or average temperature of the oven as it cycles on and off above and below the temperature setting.

With all the controls properly set for "Bake", turn the oven thermostat to 350°.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

After the oven has cycled for 25 to 30 minutes, note the temperature that the oven cycles ON and OFF. For example, at 350° setting the oven cycles between 335° and 355°. This provides a mean or average temperature of 345°F., well within the ±25°F specification.

GAS PRESSURE

Correct ignition and operation of the burners are dependent upon adequate gas pressure. The regulator is designed to provide pressure of approximately six (6) inches water column pressure (WCP) for natural gas and approximately eleven (11) inches for WCP for liquid propane (LP) gas, provided the universal type gas regulator and gas valves have been correctly set up for the type gas employed.

These pressures therefore require that the minimum supply pressure to the regulator must be at least six (6) inches WCP for natural gas and eleven (11) inches WCP for LP gas, with maximum pressure not to exceed fourteen (14) inches WCP.

MEASURING GAS PRESSURE

Equipment for measurement of gas pressure varies from pressure meters and gauges to the relatively simply and most commonly used manometer. If it is used, follow the directions supplied with the unit. The following informations covers the use of a manometer.

zero level.

Figure 33 - The Mannometer

A manometer is simply a U-shaped tube of clear plastic or glass (see illustration). A scale in inches is located between the two (2) legs of the "U". In use, the tube is filled with sufficient water to achieve a level at "0" inches. One end of the tube is connected to the range manifold or gas valve orifice while the other end of the tube or leg is open. When gas pressure is applied, the water on the gas side of the tube is pushed down and the water in the other leg rises up against the atmospheric pressure on the open end. The sum of the readings below the zero level and above the level will provide the gas pressure in inches water column, or the water column height which the gas pressure will support against the atmospheric pressure on top of the water column. The manometer therefore indicates gas pressure in inches water column. This conforms with the gas specifications for gas appliances which are given as inches WCP or inches water column pressure.

USING THE MANOMETER

The usual procedure for taking the pressure reading is to connect the tubing to one of the gas valve orifice hoods and turn on the valve. A full load reading should be taken by turning on all of the top burners and the oven burner to assure that the pressure under a full load is adequate. Figure 33 shows four (4) inches water column pressure (WCP), two (2) inches above and two (2) inches below the

SAFE OPERATING PROCEDURES

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS READ BEFORE OPERATING THE RANGE.

are easily hit. UTENSIL HANDLES SHOULD BE TURNED INWARD AND NOT EXTEND OVER ADJACENT SURFACE BURNERS to minimize burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil.

Accidents are always tragic, especially because so many of them could have been prevented with a little care and judgement. Here are some basic good practices to follow for safe use of the gas range.

1. Be sure the range is installed by a qualified technician and is properly grounded.

2. Never use the range for warming or heating the room. This warning is based on safety considerations.

3. Wear proper apparel - loose fitting or hanging garments should never be worn when operating the range.

4. Do not repair or replace any part unless specifically recommended in the manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified service technician.

5. Flammable materials should not be stored near the range.

6. Do not use water on grease fires. Smother fire or flame or use dry chemical (such as baking soda) or foam type extinguisher.

7. Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.

8. Children should not be left alone or unattended in area when the range is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the range.

9. Select utensils large enough to properly contain food and avoid boil-overs or spillovers. This will both save cleaning and prevent hazardous accumulations of food, since heavy splattering or spillovers left on a range can ignite. Pan size is especially important in deep-fat frying.

12. Never leave range burners at high heat settings. Boilover causes smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite.

13. Clean range with caution. If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid steam burns. Some cleansers can produce noxious fumes if applied to hot surfaces.

14. Do not touch surface area near burner units and burner caps. During and after use, these areas may be hot enough to cause burns. Avoid contact with these areas by clothing or other flammable materials until they have had sufficient time to cool.

15. Do not heat unopened food containers - build-up of pressure may cause container to burst and result in injury.

16. Do not store items of interest to children in cabinets above the range. Children climbing on the range to reach items could be seriously injured.

17. GREASE - Grease is flammable and should be handled carefully. Never leave any cooking operation unattended. Let fat cool before attempting to handle it. Wipe spillovers immediately.

18. Burner flame should be adjusted so that they do not extend beyond the edge of the utensil. This warning is based on safety considerations.

19. Never sit, step, or stand on any part of the range or injury may result.

10. TYPE OF UTENSILS - Avoid pans that are unstable and easily tipped. In choosing pans, look for easily grasped handles that will stay cool. Pans that are too heavy when filled with food can also be a hazard. If pan handles twist and cannot be tightened, discard the pan.

11. HANDLES - Always turn pan handles to the side or back of the range - not out into the room where they

SAFE OPERATING PROCEDURES

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

SAFETY TIPS

Some "common sense" rules to remember:

· Always be certain that the oven parts are cool before touching them when hands are not protected by a potholder.

· Always use a dry potholder, never a moist one, nor a trailing cloth, to avoid possible burns from steam.

· Pulling out oven racks is a convenience when lifting heavy foods, but caution should be used against possible burns from touching hot surface.

· For your safety, never use the range as a space heater.

· Do not heat unopened containers such as jars, cans, etc., in the oven. The build-up of pressure may cause the container to burst and can cause serious personal harm or damage the range.

· Do not use aluminum foil on the racks or oven bottom. This will hinder heat circulation.

· Do not use aluminum foil on the racks or oven bottom when cleaning. The self-cleaning feature makes this unnecessary.

· Do not attempt to clean the oven or broiler burner ignitor assembly. The ignitors are electrically operated and the danger of electric shock is present.

· Do not place baking utensils directly on the oven bottom.

· Do not use disposable or substitute broiler pans. The broiler pan and grid provided with the range have been scientifically designed to keep drippings cool so they will not become hot enough to ignite.

· Always remove the broiler pan and grid from the oven when baking and roasting. A possible fire hazard could exist if a soiled pan and grid are left in the oven. Also, any drippings on the grid will become baked on and will be very difficult to remove.

· Never cover the broiler grid with aluminum foil. It may trap grease and cause it to smoke. If desired, place a sheet of aluminum foil to line the broiler pan underneath the broiler grid to ease clean up. (A cup of water placed in the broiler pan will also minimize clean up.)

· Never use the range as storage space.

· Never store flammable items in the storage drawer.

all broiling is done with a fast, searing heat, no temperature selection is used except with certain recipes). The burner lights automatically in 50 - 60 seconds. During the broil cycle the burner will cycle on and off. For programming information on models with the Electronic Range Control, see Section III, Operation and Troubleshooting, ERC Control.

Things to Remember:

CLOSE THE DOOR COMPLETELY FOR ALL BROILING.

Ultra-Ray® consumes most smoke and spatter. Kitchen stays cleaner, cooler.

DO NOT PRE-HEAT THE BROILER BEFORE USING.

BAKING

For best results preheat the oven first. Turn the selector dial to "Manual" and the thermostat dial to the desired temperature. The oven will light automatically. Allow the oven to heat to temperature, approximately fifteen (15) minutes. For programming information on models with the Electronic Range Control, see Section III, Operation and Troubleshooting, ERC Control.

The range is equipped with tilt proof oven racks with automatic stops. The oven racks are removable and can be inserted at various levels. They can be pulled to the "STOP" position without danger of tipping. To remove the racks, pull to the stop position, raise the forward edge, and lift. Reverse the procedure to install racks. One or both oven racks can be used during baking.

Always keep in mind that heated air in the oven must be allowed to circulate freely. Leave at least 1 1/2" between utensils and between utensils and the oven walls. For example, never place one cake layer directly over another

- stagger them within the oven.

SAFE OPERATING PROCEDURES

OPERATING THE TOP BURNERS

MODELS WITHOUT SEALED BURNERS

The top burners of some models are equipped with Tri-Set top burner valves. These valves provide flame adjustment for any size flame which is desired as well as "click" positions for "LO", "MED", and "HI" settings. Depress the knob and turn the knob counterclockwise as far as it will go. When the burner lights, turn the knob back to the desired flame height.

The "HI" position provides a flame which will bring water to a full boil quickly. This is the "full on" position of the valve.

If the burner flame is turned down, an audible "click" can be heard as the valve reaches the "MEDIUM" position. This flame is sufficient to keep water boiling in a covered pan.

When the flame is turned down lower, a second "click" can be heard. This is a very low or "Keep Warm" flame setting which is the "LO" position on the valve. The low flame provides a warming heat to keep food which is already cooked ready to serve.

The "HI" position provides a flame which will bring water to a full boil quickly. This is the "full on" position of the valve.

If the burner flame is turned down, an audible "click" can be heard as the valve reaches the "MEDIUM" position. This flame is sufficient to keep water boiling in a covered pan.

The low burner flame may be adjusted by turning adjustment screw in center of valve stem. Normally, the low flame should be adjusted to the minimum steady blue flame. Check the adjustment by turning from high to low several times to see that the burner does not go out. NOTE: When adjusting the low burner flame, the valve stem should be held in the "LOW" position.

The Tri-Set valves are equipped with metered, fixed orifices, and the low setting cannot be adjusted. As there are air shutters, the burner flames can be adjusted in accordance with the Adjustment and Calibration Instructions.

The HI-LOW valves on other models are similar but without the "click" stops.

TOP BURNERS

The top burners consists of a burner and integral cap, a flash tube and support, a gas delivery tube including venturi and an adjustment air shutter. These burners are designed for trouble free operation with a minimum of parts.

MODELS WITH SEALED BURNERS

The top burners of these models are equipped with Tri-Set top burner valves. These valves provide flame adjustment for any size flame which is desired as well as "click" positions for "LO", "MED", and "HI" settings.

Whenever a top burner gas valve knob is depressed and turned fully counterclockwise, the electrode built into the burner cap will start sparking and continue as long as the knob is held in this position. After the burner lights, move the knob to the "HI" position of the valve. At this time the sparking will cease. There are no standing pilots that have to be lighted or adjusted.

THE ELECTRONIC RANGE CONTROL - ERC - operates in conjunction with a remote relay/power supply circuit board and an oven temperature sensor to control all bake, timed bake, broil, and self-clean functions.

The ERC has eight (8) function buttons to control minute timer, clock, stop time, bake, timed bake, broil, clean and set/cancel operations, and a rotary dial to set time and temperature.

The ERC display consists of two (2) digital readouts which display the time of day, cooking time, cleaning time, minute timer time, stop time, baking temperature, lo/hi broil and failure codes as well as several indicators to show which function the ERC is controlling.

The relay/power supply circuit board consists of two (2) relays for bake and broil operations which are controlled by the ERC, and a step down transformer with two (2) secondary windings which convert the 120 VAC input to 3.2 VAC filament voltage to power the ERC display and 20.3 VAC drive voltage which the ERC uses to turn on the bake and broil relays.

The oven temperature sensor is mounted in the oven cavity and is connected to the J2 connector on the rear of the ERC. As the oven temperature increases, the sensor resistance also increases. The ERC converts this resistance change to a corresponding temperature readout. The ERC then cycles the bake/broil relays to maintain the desired temperature setting.

The ERC is also capable of sensing certain failure conditions which can occur in the temperature sensor, the selfclean latch switch or the ERC itself. If the ERC senses a failure, power will be removed from the bake/broil relays, an alarm will sound, and a failure code will be displayed. Each major component of the Electric Range Control System (ERC, temperature sensor, or relay/power supply circuit board) is serviced as a separate part. However, each component and related wire harness must be tested prior to replacing an individual component.

NOTE: Clock must previously be set for the time of day.

1. Press and hold the "CLOCK" button until "TIME" is displayed and until "TIME" turns off.

2. Momentarily press "CANCEL" button until all display segments are lit. Following the lighting of all of the segments, the display will go through a "SALES DEMONSTRATION" mode, displaying individual functions. The "SALES DEMONSTRATION" mode will show: (1) "BROIL", three (3) horizontal segments and the degree symbol, (2) "OVEN" "TIME" and ":00" , (3) "CLEAN", "TIME" and "3:00" (4) "TIMER" and ":00", (5) time of day, (6) all segments, and (7) "BAKE", three (3) horizontal segments and the degree symbol. The program will continue to repeat until the "CANCEL" button is pressed. The time of day should then be displayed.

RELAY/POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT BOARD TESTING

Testing with Voltage Applied

The relay/power supply circuit board voltages can be tested by following the procedures below. Caution should always be taken when making live voltage tests to avoid electrical shock and/or damage to range components or test equipment.

1. To check the input supply voltage to the transformer primary winding, shut off power to the range and connect your AC voltmeter to terminals E1 and E2. Turn on power to the range. A voltage reading of approximately 108-132 VAC should be indicated. If a low voltage or no reading is indicated, check for loose connections or broken wiring.

2. To check the transformer secondary winding output (filament) voltage, shut off power to the range and insert your AC voltmeter leads into the J1 connector at pins J1-7 and J1-8 and turn on power to the appliance. A voltage reading of approximately 3.2 VAC should be indicated. If no voltage is indicated, recheck primary input voltage (Step 1). If primary input voltage checks good, replace the relay/power supply board.

5. To check the broil relay drive voltage supplied to the relay/power supply board from the ERC, shut off power to the range and insert your DC voltmeter leads into the J1 connector at pins J1-3 and J1-1 and turn on power to the range. With no bake or broil operation programmed into the ERC, zero (0) VDC should be indicated. Program the ERC for a broil operation. When the ERC initiates the broil program, a voltage reading of approximately 24 VDC should be indicated. If no voltage is indicated, check for loose connections or broken wiring, and also for drive voltage at the ERC J1 connector at pins J1-8 and J1-

6. To check the bake relay contacts, shut off power to the range and attach your AC voltmeter leads to the relay board terminals E6 and E7 and turn on power to the range. A voltage reading of approximately 120 VAC should be indicated. Program the ERC for a bake operation.

When the ERC initiates the bake function, the voltage reading should drop to zero (0) VAC. If the voltage does not drop to zero (0) VAC, the relay is not being energized or the relay is defective.

3. To check the transformer secondary winding output voltage (used to drive relays), shut off power to the range and insert your AC voltmeter leads into the J1 connector at pins J1-6 and J1-5 and turn on power to the appliance. A voltage reading of approximately

20.3 VAC should be indicated. If no voltage is indicated, recheck primary input voltage (Step 1). If primary input voltage checks good, replace the relay/ power supply board.

4. To check the bake relay drive voltage supplied to the relay/power supply board from the ERC, shut off power to the range and insert your AC voltmeter leads into the J1 connector at pins J1-2 and J1-1 and turn on power to the range. With no bake operation programmed into the ERC, zero (0) VDC should be indicated. Program the ERC for a bake operation. When the ERC initiates the bake program, a voltage reading of approximately 24 VDC should be indicated. If no voltage is indicated, check for loose connections or broken wiring, and also for drive voltage at the ERC J1 connector at pins J1-9 and J1-

37 RC231002 Rev. 3

7. To check the broil relay contacts, shut off power to the range and attach your AC voltmeter leads to the relay board terminals E4 and E5 and turn on power to the range. A voltage reading of approximately 120 VAC should be indicated. Program the ERC for a broil operation. When the ERC initiates the broil function, the voltage reading should drop to zero (0) VAC. If the voltage does not drop to zero (0) VAC, the relay is not being energized or the relay is defective.

ERC OVEN TEMPERATURE SENSOR

The oven temperature sensor is mounted in the oven cavity and electrically connected to the J2 connector, pins 1 and 3 on the rear of the ERC. The sensor resistance changes with temperature changes inside the oven cavity and the ERC controls the oven temperature by reacting to the sensor resistance changes.

The sensor resistance can be checked by removing the sensor interconnect harness plug from the ERC J2 connector and inserting the ohmmeter leads into the harness connector plug. A resistance reading of 1091 ± 5.5 ohms should be indicated at ambient room temperature (75°F.)

ERC FAILURE CODES AND WARNINGS

The Electronic Range Control is capable of detecting certain failures within the ERC, the oven temperature sensor and the self-clean latch switch.

The failure codes and warnings which may appear on the display include F1 through F8, "DOOR", or "LOCK". A brief description of the failure codes and warnings is listed below:

F1 - Indicates a failed component in the E.R.C. F2 - Sensor resistance too high. Check sensor resistance,

wire harness, and connections.

F3 - Open wire lead in sensor harness, bad harness/

sensor connection or sensor resistance too high.

F4 - Sensor resistance too low (below 500 ohms). Check

for a short in sensor wire harness and check sensor

resistance. F5 - Indicates a failed component in the ERC. F6 - Indicates a failed component in the ERC or due to

fluctuations in 60 Hz power source. F7 - Indicates a shorted or sticking contact in one or more

of the function control switches. Make sure the

function buttons are not binding on the control panel

glass - reposition the ERC and/or glass. Make sure

the function buttons spring outward after being de-

pressed. F8 - Indicates a failed component in the ERC. F9 - Door Latch Supervisory (Door latched):

Sounds alarm and resets control to non-cook mode if

the door latch supervisory logic fails for a sample

period of 2 seconds (while the door is latched).

Unlatching the door (if not locked) and Cancel Key

may reset the display code and audible. If the door is

locked (temp > 500°F) power must be removed until

the oven door can be unlatched.

ELECTRONIC RANGE CONTROL TEMPERATURE CALIBRATION

The ERC incorporates ± 35°F. calibration capabilities. Follow the procedures below to calibrate the ERC.

1. Press and release the "BAKE TEMP." function button.

2. Rotate the "TIME/TEMP. SET" knob clockwise until a temperature between 500° - 550° is displayed. Quickly, before the ERC initiates the bake function, press and hold the "BAKE TEMP" function button. After approximately four (4) seconds, the display will show "00" or the offset temperature that was previously programmed into the ERC.

3. Rotate the "TIME/TEMP. SET" knob to show the desired offset temperature in the display (up to ± 35°F. in 5° increments, "+" to set oven temperature higher and "-" to reduce oven temperature. NOTE: An accurate temperature test should be performed before calibrating the ERC.

If oven temperature testing reveals that a calibration in excess of ±35°F. is required, the oven temperature sensor, sensor wire harness, and wire harness/sensor connections must be checked before replacing the ERC. A resistive connection within the sensor harness will affect oven temperature.

"LOCK" LIGHT ON - If "LOCK" appears in the display when the oven is not set in clean mode, the oven sensor resistance is too high. Check sensor resistance, wire harness, and connections.

"DOOR" APPEARS IN DISPLAY IN BAKE/BROIL MODE

- This is an indication of a defective latch switch or shorted

wire lead from the ERC pin J1-10 to ground, or door is latched.

"DOOR" APPEARS IN DISPLAY DURING CLEAN MODE

- This is an indication of a defective latch switch or an open

wire lead, from the ERC pin J1 - 10 to ground, or that the door latch has not been closed as required to initiate the clean cycle.

ELECTRONIC RANGE CONTROL - ERC

ERC SYSTEM EXPLANATION - (One Piece Control)

The Electronic range control - ERC - operates in conjunction with a relay/power supply circuit board and an oven temperature sensor to control all bake, timed bake, broil, and self-clean functions.

The ERC has eight (8) function buttons to control minute timer, stop time, bake, timed bake, broil, clean, and set/ cancel operations, and a rotary dial to set time and temperature.

The ERC display consists of two (2) digital readouts which display the time of day, cooking time, cleaning time, minute timer time, stop time, baking temperature, broil, and failure codes as well as several indicators to show which function the ERC is controlling.

The attached relay/power supply circuit board consists of two (2) relays for bake and broil operations which are

OPERATION AND SERVICE PROCEDURES

Electronic Range Control - ERC (Models w/One Piece Control)

controlled by the ERC, and a step down transformer with two (2) secondary windings which convert the 120 VAC input to 3.2 VAC filament voltage to power the ERC display and 20.3 VAC drive voltage which the ERC uses to turn on the bake and broil relays.

Each major component of the Electronic Range Control System (ERC, temperature sensor), and related wire harness must be tested prior to replacing the individual component.

TESTING PROCEDURES

"DISPLAY" MODE - All segments of the display can be

checked by using the following sequence. NOTE: Clock must previously be set for the time of day.

1. Press and hold the "CLOCK" button until "TIME" is displayed and until "TIME" turns off.

2. Momentarily press "CANCEL" button until all display segments are lit. Following the lighting of all of the segments, the display will go through a "SALES DEMONSTRATION" mode, displaying individual functions. The "SALES DEMONSTRATION" mode will show: (1) "BROIL", three horizontal segments and the degree (°) symbol, (2) "OVEN", "TIME", and ":00", (3) "CLEAN", "TIME", and "3:00", (4) "TIMER" and ":00", (5) time of day, (6) all segments and, (7) "BAKE", three (3) horizontal segments and the degree symbol. The program will continue to repeat until the "CANCEL" button is pressed. The time of day should then be displayed.

display include F1 through F8, "DOOR" or "LOCK". A brief description of the failure codes and warnings is listed below:

F1 - Indicates a failed component in the ERC. F2 - Sensor resistance too high. Check sensor resistance,

wire harness, and connections.

F3 - Open wire lead in sensor harness, bad harness/

sensor connections, or sensor resistance too high (above 3300 ohms).

F4 - Sensor resistance too low (below 500 ohms). Check

for a short in sensor wire harness and check sensor resistance.

F5 - Indicates a failed component in the ERC. F6 - Indicates a failed component in the ERC or due to

fluctuations in 60 HZ power source.

F7 - Indicates a shorted or sticking contact in one or more

of the function control switches. Make sure the function buttons are not binding on the control panel glass - reposition the ERC and/or glass. Make sure the function buttons spring outward after being depressed.

F8 - Indicates a failed component in the ERC.

F9 - Door Latch Supervisory (Door latched):

Sounds alarm and resets control to non-cook mode if the door latch supervisory logic fails for a sample period of 2 seconds (while the door is latched). Unlatching the door (if not locked) and Cancel Key may reset the display code and audible. If the door is locked (temp > 500°F) power must be removed until the oven door can be unlatched.

"LOCK" LIGHT ON - If "LOCK" appears in the display when the oven is not set in clean mode, indicates a defective latch switch or shorted wire lead from the ERC pin J2-4 or door is latched.

"DOOR" APPEARS IN DISPLAY IN BAKE/BROIL MODE

- This is an indication of a defective latch switch or a shorted wire lead from the ERC pin J2-4 to ground, or door is latched.

"DOOR" APPEARS IN DISPLAY DURING CLEAN MODE

- This is an indication of a defective latch switch or an open

wire lead from the ERC pin J2-4 to ground, or the door latch has not been closed as required to initiate the clean cycle.

BAKE AND BROIL IGNITORS

The bake and broil ignitors are mounted to the bake and broil burners and ignite the gas flowing into the burner. During a broil or manual bake operation, current flows through the ignitor, gas valve, selector switch, and thermostat to neutral. As the ignitor starts heating up and glowing, its internal resistance decreases allowing more current to flow through the bake or broil circuit. When the circuit current reaches approximately 3.2 - 3.6 amps, the bi-metal arm in the gas valve flexes, opening the valve, allowing gas to flow to the burner where it is ignited by the glowing ignitor. The ignitors will glow anytime the bake or broil burners are in operation and cycle on and off with the thermostat cycling contacts.

The operation of the OVEN/BROILER "ELECTRIC IGNITOR" can be checked by using a VOLT/OHMMETER as follows: NOTE: This check must be made while the ignitor is at ambient room temperature.

1. Disconnect electricity.

2. Set the volt/ohmmeter on the RX1K ohms scale. (Zero the meter.)

3. Remove ignitor from burner.

4. Remove ignitor lead wire nuts and disconnect ignitor leads from range wiring.

5. Connect ohmmeter leads to ignitor wire leads.

6. If the meter indicates continuity (a low resistance reading), the ignitor is operative. NOTE: The cold resistance measurement can vary several hundred ohms. However, this test is for continuity without a dead short (zero ohms).

6. Reattach the two (2) wire terminals removed from Point A or Point B on the gas valve.

Figure 65

The ignitor may still be defective even though continuity is indicated and it glows when the oven is set for bake, broil, or clean function. A more exact test can be made to measure the ignitor current with the oven operating. An ammeter should be inserted in series with one (1) lead of the ignitor or an amprobe can be attached to the lead to check the amount of current flowing through the ignitor circuit. With the oven turned on and the ignitor glowing red, a current reading of approximately 3.2 - 3.6 amps should be indicated. The ignitor can also be removed and bench tested, using the current test method and an AC jumper or test cord connected to the ignitor leads.

ELECTRIC GAS VALVE

The bake and broil dual gas valve supplies the gas flow to the bake or broil burners. The valve contains bi-metalic arms attached to the valve seats and are wound with a small electric heater coil. When a current range of approximately 3.2 - 3.6 amps flows through the bake or broil circuit, the bi-metalic arm is heated causing it to flex or bend, allowing gas to flow to the burner where it is ignited by the burner ignitor. The gas valve is located behind the storage drawer.

CLOCK TIMER (Non-Solid State)

The oven timer is an electric time-of-day clock, minute minder, and an automatic switch which controls the operation of the bake portion of the oven and self-clean duration of the oven.

Since the automatic switch is in series with the oven circuit, many customers complaints on the operation of the oven are due to a customers lack of knowledge of the operation of the timer. The users manual gives complete information of the use of the timer.

TIMER SWITCH

1. Set the selector switch for "TIMED COOK" and the oven thermostat to 350°.

2. Set the time for automatic operation - Delayed Start

- by pushing in on the Start Timer Knob and set the start time indicator about one hour ahead of the timer on the clock. (See Figure 69.)

3. Push in on the Stop Time Knob and set the Stop Time Indicator to approximately two (2) hours ahead of the time on the clock. (See Figure 69.) This clock assembly may use the analog or conventional clock face and may be configured differently. However, all test procedures are identical.

AUTOMATICTIC ELECTRONIC TIMER (Solid State)

The electronic timer featured in certain models provides full automatic timing of bake/roast or self-clean oven operation by means of two relay-opened S.P.S.T. switches which are normally open, contact 11-12 and 13-14. 120 VAC power is connected to terminals 1 and 2. The numeric value of the 4-digit display can be increased by clockwise rotation of the "Time Set" knob and decreased by counterclockwise rotation. All knobs are removable by pulling straight out.

Indicator arrows (LED) are aligned over each of the four (4) push button function knobs and associated with that function. Each indicator arrow is lighted during operation of that function and goes off at the end of that function. With the exception of the self-clean button, pressing in any one of the three buttons on the left lights the respective indicator arrow which then allows only three (3) or four (4) seconds to set the time on the display, then the display reverts to time-of-day if nothing is entered. To set time-of-day in the display, simultaneously press in any two of the three buttons on the left and enter the digits with the time set knob. The time-of-day clock has no AM and PM indicator.

calculate the required start time and start the oven accordingly.

BAKE-ROAST TIMER OPERATION

Baking or roasting in automatic time cook mode provides the option of cooking for a specific time period starting immediately or delaying the start to a later time. For timed cook, starting immediately, push in the bake button and enter the cooking time period. The relay switches will close, the indicator arrow will be lit to indicate that the oven is on (thermostat must be set to a temperature setting and selector in timed bake position). For delayed time cook, it is necessary to set the "Stop Time" button for the time desired for the cooking to be completed, then set the length of cooking time. The oven and clock timer will start the required period of time before the stop time to complete the cooking. As an example, assume it is 1:00 p.m., the food to be baked or roasted will require two (2) hours and it is desired to have it cooked and ready to serve at 5:00 p.m. The procedure would be to set the thermostat to the desired temperature and the selector to timed bake. Then push in the "Stop Time" knob and set the display for 5:00. Next, push in the "Bake Hours" knob and set the time for cooking

- two (2) hours. The timer will automatically calculate the start time 3:00 p.m., and turn on the oven. When programming the clock for this function the "Bake Hours" knob can be pushed first and two (2) hours entered. Then the 5:00 p.m. "Stop Time" programmed. The timer will still calculate the start time and operate the oven. When the oven is programmed either for timed cook or for the self-clean the indicator arrows will flash slowly to indicate a program is in operation. When a program is in operation, the time of day cannot be changed, only the program time can be advanced or reduced. If it is desired to stop a program before completion, turn the thermostat and selector to OFF. This will stop oven operation but not the clock timer program operation. This may be allowed to continue or may be stopped by pressing the respective operational

button (bake or clean) and rotating the time set control to move the digits back to "0:00". The display will then show time of day. If in self-clean the program also can be stopped by pressing the self-clean button a second time. The display will return to time of day.

BUZZER ALARM

The buzzer alarm sounds at the end of the minute-minder countdown. It also sounds at the completion of the timed bake or roasting cycle but not sound at the end of the selfclean program. The buzzer will sound for one (1) to two (2) minutes then shut off. It can be silenced manually by pressing any of the three (3) buttons on the left. Pressing the "Clean" button will also silence the alarm but then the three (3) hour clean setting in the displayed would need to be cleared manually.

DISPLAY

When the range is initially connected to the power source or after a power interruption, each element of the display will light momentarily in sequence then momentarily display four (4) zeros. Following this the display will flash four (4) eights along with the two (2) left most arrows to indicate the buttons to be pressed to set the time of day.

Initial power connection or power interruption can be simulated by pressing in all three (3) left most buttons simultaneously.

TO AVOID THE RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK, PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH DISCONNECT POWER BEFORE SERVICING, UNLESS TESTING REQUIRES IT.

TIMER TESTING

The electronic digital timer can be tested operationally and electrically.

1. Simulate initial power connector or power interruption by pressing the three (3) left hand buttons simultaneously. Each element of the display should momentarily light in sequence followed by a momentary four (4) zeros and then four (4) eights and two (2) arrows flashing. Ohmmeter checks across switch contacts 11 to 12 and 13 to 14 should indicate open switches (infinite or very high ohms). Ohmmeter should be on RX1 range.

2. Reset time-of-day on display (press in two (2) left buttons and turn "Time Set" knob). Push in minute timer button (far left) and program five (5) to ten (10) seconds in display. Timer switches should indicate open condition on ohmmeter. Alarm buzzer should sound at the end of the countdown. Push minute minder button to stop buzzer.

3. Connect the ohmmeter set to RX1 range across either time switch 11 to 12 or 13 to 14. Press in the "Bake" button and hold. Meter should indicate open switch (infinite or very high ohms). While holding button in, set approximately ten (10) seconds on the display. Meter needle should swing to zero (0) ohms indicating switch closed. Repeat the procedure after transferring the test leads to the other switch. Allow countdown to complete, buzzer should sound. Push button in to silence buzzer. Display should return to time of day.

4. With ohmmeter connected across one of the switches and set to RX1 range, push in the "Stop" button and program time of day plus ten (10) minutes. Meter should indicate switches are open. Push in "Bake Time" button - switches should still remain open. With "Bake Time" button held in, program five (5) minutes. Switches should still show open condition. Allow timer to countdown, oven should start (switches close) in five (5) minutes. After five (5) more minutes switches should open, display indicates time of day and buzzer sounds. Press bake button to silence buzzer.

OPERATIONAL TEST

This test procedure requires power applied (120 VAC) either in the range or with 120 VAC line cord connected to terminals 1 and 2 for bench test. An ohmmeter or continuity tester should be alternately connected across switch terminals 11 to 12 and 13 to 14. Selector switch must be in "OFF" position and latch in open position (non selfclean). NOTE: With selector switch in "OFF" position and latch in open position, the timer switch terminals are disconnected from circuit power sources which could damage the ohmmeter.

RC231002 Rev. 3 68

5. Push self-clean button in. The following should take place immediately - three (3) hours (3:00) should appear in the display, the letter "C" should appear on the left side of the display, the oven-on symbol should also appear on the left and both switches should be closed. Manually, with "Time Set" control, turn the digital display down to one (1) minute. Allow the timer to countdown to 0:00 - display should return to timeof-day and the switches open.

NOTE: A slight "click" can be heard whenever the relay switches open or close.

TOP BURNER SPARK IGNITORS

A spark ignitor is located between each pair of left and right burners. Sealed burner units have an electrode for each burner. When any of the burner valves is turned to the "LITE" position, the spark switch on the valve closes, supplying 120 VAC to the spark module. This activates the module which produces the spark at the ignitor electrode to light the burner.

TO AVOID THE RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK, PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH DISCONNECT POWER BEFORE SERVICING, UNLESS TESTING REQUIRES IT.

SPARK MODULE TESTING

When properly operating, the spark module will produce a spark at the ignitor accompanied by a sharp snapping sound each time the ignitor sparks.

The spark module is located under the burner box on the left side.

The sealed top burner units have two (2) spark modules, one (1) on the left and one (1) on the right or one (1) spark module with four (4) ignitor connections.

TO CHECK THE MODULE

1. Disconnect electricity at disconnecting plug, and turn off gas supply to the range.

2. Check wiring against wiring diagram to be sure all terminals and wire-connections are correct and tight.

3. SET VOLT/OHMMETER ON THE 120 VAC SCALE or higher.

TO CHECK THE SPARK IGNITORS

1. Disconnect electricity at main disconnect plug.

2. Disconnect the high voltage spark ignitor leads from the terminals on the spark module.

3. SET THE VOLT/OHMMETER ON THE "RX1" OHM SCALE (adjust zero).

4. Attach one meter lead to a good ground (bare metal) on the range body.

5. Touch the remaining meter lead to the terminal of the ignitor lead. A continuity reading from the ignitor lead indicates the ignitor lead is shorted to ground. If no continuity reading from the ignitor lead to ground, proceed to Step 6.

6. Attach one (1) meter lead to the terminal of the ignitor lead and touch the remaining meter lead on the opposite end of the ignitor lead which is attached to the top burner mounting bracket. Repeat same procedure with the other ignitor lead. No continuity on the lead indicates an open circuit in the ignitor lead wire. (On sealed burner units, one (1) meter lead must be attached to the electrode socket at the venturi.)

4. Attach one (1) meter lead to the "L" wire terminal on the spark module.

ignition circuit. One terminal of each switch is connected to the 120 VAC line while the other terminal connects to the "L1" module terminal. Terminal "N" of the module connects to the common or neutral side of the AC line. The spark switch is located on the stem of the top burner valve.

A continuity test can be made to check for proper switch operation. Shut off power to the range and remove the switch wiring. Set an ohmmeter to the RX1 scale and attach the meter leads to the switch terminals. When the switch is turned to the "LITE" position, zero (0) OHMS (closed contacts) should be indicated. Infinite OHMS (open contacts) should be indicated in all positions except "LITE". If the switch fails this test, it must be replaced.

DOOR LATCH MECHANISM

The door latch mechanism is used to insure the oven door is sealed tightly against the chassis during the clean cycle. The latch cannot be moved to the "CLEAN" position unless the door is closed. A thermal safety "jams" the lock mechanism during the clean cycle to prevent accidental opening of the door latch during cleaning. When the latch is jammed the latch cannot be moved to the "COOK" position.

After the cleaning is completed and the oven cools, the latch is released and can be moved again to the "COOK" position.

4. Move the door latch to the far right or locked position. The COM - N.O. contacts should be closed and the COM - N.C. contacts should be open.

ROCKER SWITCH TESTING

The rocker type switch on these models is a single pole, double throw switch used to control the oven light. The rocker switch contacts can be checked for continuity by using an ohmmeter set to the RX1 scale or a continuity tester. Set the switch to the position as shown in Figure 31 and connect the meter or tester leads to terminals 2 - 3 and then to terminals 1 - 2. Continuity should be indicated across terminals 2 - 3 and open contacts should be indicated across terminals 1 - 2. Set the rocker switch to the position as shown in Figure 32. Continuity should be indicated across terminals 1 - 2 and open contacts indicated across terminals 2 - 3. If the switch fails either test, it should be replaced.

OVEN CONTROLS

The oven controls consist of a thermostat, selector switch, gas vlave and a 120 VAC electric ignitor to provide ignition for the gas at the oven burner and broiler burner.

PROBLEMS POSSIBLE CAUSE CORRECTIO

1. Oven Burner/Broil Burner will not turn on. "Selector" switch set on BAKE/BROIL. Thermostat set

at 350°/Broil. Door latch in cook position.

NOTE: The flat type ignitor used in these models has an operating current range of from

3.2 amps A.C. to 3.6 amps A.C. The gas valve is calibrated to open at slightly over 3.2 amps, since the ignitor will be hot enough to ignite any gas flowing from the burner. The current can be checked using a clamp-on ammeter or an in-line ammeter. If the current does not reach 3.2 amps, replace the ignitor.

2. Gas v alve opens but Oven/Broiler burner does not ignite.

OPERATION AND SERVICE PROCEDURES

TO AVOID THE RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK, PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH DISCONNECT POWER BEFORE SERVICING, UNLESS TESTING REQUIRES IT.

The "HI" position provides a flame which will bring water to a full boil quickly. This is the "full on" position of the valve.

If the burner flame is turned down, an audible "click" can be heard as the valve reaches the "MEDIUM" position. This flame is sufficient to keep water boiling in a covered pan.

When the flame is turned down still lower, a second "click" can be heard. This is a very low or "Keep Warm" flame setting which is the "LO" position on the valve. The low flame provides a warming heat to keep food which is already cooked ready to serve.

The Tri-Set valves are equipped with metered, fixed orifices and the low setting cannot be adjusted. As there are air shutters, the burner flames can be adjusted in accordance with the Adjustment and Calibration Instructions of this Manual.

The HI-LOW valves on other models are similar but without the "click" stops.

TOP BURNER

The indicator lights, oven light switch, selector switch, and thermostat on RST307, 308, 309 are located behind the control panel.

BURNER CAPS Models with Sealed Burners

The burner caps on models with sealed burners contain the electrode tip for the spark ignition.

TO CHECK THE BURNER CAP:

1. Turn off power to the unit.

2. Remove burner cap from unit. Attach one of the ohmmeter leads (RX1 scale) to the electrode terminal. Attach the other lead to the tip of the electrode. Continuity (low ohms) should be indicated. If continuity is indicated, remove one (1) lead and attach lead to the burner cap. Infinite ohms (open) should be indicated.

The top burners consist of a burner and intergral cap, a flash tube and support, a gas delivery tube including venturi and an adjustment air shutter. These burners are designed for trouble free operation with a minimum of parts.

INDICATOR LIGHT TESTING

If the oven (bake, broil, clean) operates normally but the indicator lights do not glow, check for voltage at the indicator light terminals. If voltage is present at the indicator terminals and the indicator does not glow, replace the indicator light. If no voltage is present at the indicator terminals, check for loose connectors, broken wiring, or other defective components (thermostat, ignitor, etc.). NOTE: The oven indicator light and the clean indicator light operates on 120 VAC. Use caution when checking for indicator light voltages.

OVEN LIGHT SWITCH

The oven light switch can be tested using the same procedure as the fluorescent light switch.

The fluorescent light components, oven light switch and indicator lights are located behind the backguard glass mounted to the backguard control panel.

3. Spark gap should be checked and, if necessary, adjust to dimension shown.

4. Clean electrode and grounding rivet with fine file to assure ground path for spark.

5. Be certain all slots and holes are clear of cleansing powder, grease, etc.

BURNER CAPS Models with Cast Sealed Burners

TO CHECK BURNER-BURNER CAPS:

1. Turn off power to unit.

2. Remove cast cap from base.

3. Be certain the underside of burner cap is clear of metal shavings, grease, cleansing powder, etc.

4. Be certain top side of burner base is clear of metal shavings, grease, cleansing powder, etc.

5. Spark gap should be checked and, if necessary, adjusted to dimension shown.

6. Spark should be visible between electrode wire tip and bottom side of burner cap. Spark jump to burner base (not between spark gap) could be due to cracked/ broken ceramic portion of electrode assembly which requires replacement.
