OPERATION AND SERVICE PROCEDURES

Electronic Range Control (ERC) (Models w/Two Piece Control)

NOTE: Two (2) piece control system - clock timer in backguard - relay board back bottom of range.

The Electronic Range Control (ERC) controls all thermo- stat, selector switch, and clock timing functions for BAKE, TIMED BAKE, BROIL, and SELF-CLEAN operations. The ERC also has a minute timer function which can time an operation up to nine (9) hours and fifty (50) minutes. The minute timer does not control the oven operation.

tion. If the timer function is not cancelled, the alarm will sound approximately once every ten (10) seconds to remind you to cancel the minute timer function.

To cancel the minute timer function while the timer is still counting down, simply rotate the "TIME/TEMP. SET" knob counterclockwise until ":00" is displayed. The ERC will automatically cancel the timer function.

To Set Time of Day:

1.Press the "CLOCK" button. "TIME" will appear on the left side of the display.

2.Rotate the "TIME/TEMP. SET" knob to the desired time of day.

3.Press the "SET/CANCEL" button to initiate the time of day clock. "TIME" will go out on the left side of the display. NOTE: If the "SET/CANCEL" button is not pressed after the desired time of day is set, the ERC will automatically initiate the time of day after a short period of time.

To Set Minute Timer:

1.Press the "MINUTE TIMER" button. "TIMER" and ":00" will appear on the display.

2.Rotate the "TIME/TEMP. SET" knob clockwise to set the desired timing period up to nine (9) hours and fifty

(50)minutes. The display will increment in 5, 10, 60 second and five (5) and ten (10) minute increments. The ERC will automatically initiate the timer count- down two (2) seconds after the last entry. The timer will count down in seconds if the entered time is one

(1)hour or less. If the entered time is more than one

(1)hour, the timer will count down in minutes until reaching one (1) hour on the display, then the timer will count down in seconds for the remaining time.

When the timer counts down to ":00", an alarm will sound three (3) times to indicate the timing function is completed. Press the "MINUTE TIMER" button or the "SET/CANCEL" button to cancel the timer func-

1.Press the "BAKE TEMP" button. "BAKE" will appear along with the along with the three (3) center horizon- tal segments and the degree symbol in the tempera- ture display.

2.Rotate the "TIME/TEMP. SET" knob to the desired baking temperature from 170°F. to 550°F. The display will increase in 5° increments starting with 170°. The ERC will automatically initiate the bake operation approximately two (2) seconds after the last temperature entry and "ON" will appear in the display. The oven temperature rise will be displayed during oven preheat in 5° increments starting at 100°F.

To cancel the bake function, simply press the "SET/ CANCEL" button or rotate the "TIME/TEMP. SET" knob counterclockwise until the temperature display shows the three (3) center horizontal segments and the degree symbol. The ERC will then automatically cancel the bake function.

To Use the Cook Time Function:

1.Press the "COOK TIME" button. "TIME", "OVEN", AND ":00" will be displayed.

2.Rotate the "TIME/TEMP. SET" knob clockwise to set the desired amount of cooking time up to eleven (11) hours and fifty-five (55) minutes. The display will increase in five (5) and ten (10) minute increments.

3.Press the "BAKE TEMP" button. "BAKE" will appear along with the three (3) center horizontal segments and the degree symbol in the temperature display. If the "BAKE TEMP" button is not pressed within ap- proximately five (5) seconds after setting the cook time, an alarm will sound to remind you to set the bake temperature.

4.Rotate the "TIME/TEMP. SET" knob clockwise to the desired baking temperature from 170°F. to 550°F. The display will increase in 5° increments starting from 170°. The ERC will automatically initiate the

timed cook function approximately two (2) seconds
