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 dis- play 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.

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 continu- ity 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 self- clean). 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.

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 transfer- ring the test leads to the other switch. Allow count- down 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.

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 time- of-day and the switches open.

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