ELECTRICAL OPERATION

Component Function

Power Cord

A three-prong grounding plug that connects the oven to the electrical power source. The oven will not operate unless it is connected to an electrical power supply.

Convection Oven Solenoid

The solenoid is a normally closed switch that opens and closes the gas valve. When the electrical circuit is completed through the solenoids coil, a magnetic field is created, drawing on a spring-loaded plunger which opens the gas valve.

Oven Door Microswitch

The oven door microswitch is located behind the control panel. When the oven door opens, the door switch opens the circuit to the pilot solenoid and convection fan motor.

NOTE: When the fan control switch is placed in the COOL DOWN position, the oven door microswitch is bypassed to allow the convection fan to run while the oven door is opened.

Fan Control Switch

The manually operated, 3-position fan control switch controls the convection motor. The switch is located on the control panel. When the fan control switch is placed in the ON position, the convection fan will come on when the oven door microswitch contacts are closed. When the fan switch is placed in the COOL DOWN position, the door switch is bypassed to allow the fan to run while the oven door is open to rapidly lower the oven temperature. When the fan switch is placed in the OFF position, the convection motor contacts are open preventing the fan from operating.

Junction Box

A junction box attached to the back of the oven is the connection point for the oven electrical wires.

Convection Oven Motor

The single-phase convection oven motor rotates a rotor blower that circulates oven-heated air. An internal centrifugal switch will close when the motor begins to rotate to complete the electrical circuit. The convection motor should operate when the door is closed and the fan
