THEORY OF OPERATION

AIR FLOW — REAR PANEL

The electric range needs sufficient air to prop- erly cool the oven. In addition, proper air flow through the electric range also keeps the front control panel from becoming too hot while the elements are operating, and causing opera- tional problems.

To help provide the proper air flow along the back of the range, the rear panel of the range has a spacer on each side toward the bottom.

When the range is installed, these spacers should just come in contact with the surface of the wall. If they are accidentally bent in, proper spacing will be lost, and the oven will not heat properly. Also, the front control panel may be- come overly warm, and cause the bimetal switches to trip, shutting down the operation. If any of these problems occur, it is most likely because of air flow restrictions.
