OPERATION AND SERVICE PROCEDURES

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

2.Rotate the "TIME/TEMP. SET" knob clockwise to set the broil function to HI.

To cancel the broil function, simply press the "SET/ CANCEL" button or rotate the "TIME/TEMP. SET" knob counterclockwise until the three (3) center hori- zontal segments appear on the temperature display. The ERC will then automatically cancel the broil function.

To Set for Self-Clean:

1.Move the door lock lever to the far right or latched position. "LOCK" will appear on the display.

2.Press the "CLEAN" button. "CLEAN" will appear and "----" will show on the display. Rotate the "TIME/ TEMP" knob four (4) detents clockwise and display will indicate "3:00" hour cleaning time. This can be changed from two (2) hours to four (4) hours depend- ing on amount of soil in oven (three (3) hours is preferable). "CLEAN" display will appear to end of clean time selected. "LOCK" will appear until the door is unlatched which should be twenty (20) to thirty (30) minutes after "clean" display has turned off and oven has cooled down.

3.After oven cool down move door lock lever to far left or unlatched position. If door can not be unlatched wait another five (5) minutes. DO NOT FORCE THE LATCH AS DAMAGE MAY RESULT.

To Set for Delayed Self-Clean:

1.Move the door lock lever to the far right or locked position. "LOCK" appears on the display.

2.Press the "STOP TIME" button. "STOP TIME" and the current time of day will be displayed.

3.Rotate the "TIME/TEMP. SET" knob clockwise to set the desired time the oven is to turn off.

4.Press the "CLEAN" button. "DELAY", "CLEAN", and "TIME" will appear. Rotate the "TIME/TEMP" button and select two (2) to four (4) hours of clean time.

If the door lock lever is not moved to the lock position prior to pressing the "CLEAN" button, "DOOR" will be displayed and an alarm will sound as a reminder to lock the door. The ERC will automatically calculate the start time. EXAMPLE: Using a suggested three

(3) hour clean time: If the current time is 12:00 and to operate the oven in a clean function which will end at 5:00, (1) lock the oven door, (2) set the stop time

for 5:00 and, (3) select three (3) hours clean time. The ERC will start the cleaning function at 2:00 and turn the oven off at 5:00.

When the start time is reached, "DELAY" will turn off, "ON" will appear, and the ERC will initiate the clean cycle. The "LOCK" indicator will be displayed.

When the stop time is reached, the ERC will auto- matically turn the oven off and the time of day will be displayed. "LOCK" will remain displayed until the door is unlatched.

5.Allow the oven to cool approximately twenty (20) to thirty (30) minutes before trying to move the door lock lever to open the door. DO NOT FORCE THE LOCK LEVER. If the door will not open, wait five (5) minutes and try again.

To Use Cancel Function:

1.Pressing the "SET/CANCEL" button will cancel all cooking, cleaning, or timing functions except the minute timer function. The display will return to the time of day unless a minute timer operation is present.

2.To display the time of day during a program, press the "CLOCK" button. The display will return to the time of day. To view the remaining time on a program after returning the display to the time of day, simply press the appropriate function button ("MINUTE TIMER", "STOP TIME", "COOK TIME" or "CLEAN" button). The display will then show the remaining program time.

ELECTRONIC RANGE CONTROL - ERC

ERC SYSTEM EXPLANATION - (One Piece Control)

The Electronic range control - ERC - operates in conjunc- tion 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 48
