ACCUSIMMER™ BURNER The AccuSimmer™ (right rear) burner is designed to provide 550 B.T.U.s for precise, low-heat cooking. THE VENTURI SYSTEM The exclusive sealed gas venturi burners provide precise, even flame control so that each burner stays lit, even under sudden draft conditions. Airflow to the front and rear burners is adjusted at the front of the venturi by prying the slots open or closed, or by rotating the air shutters.
OVEN DOOR REMOVAL The procedure for removing the oven door is the same for both gas and electric ranges. The door removal is different from previous ranges. To remove the door: Open the door half way and install a nail or a screw into the hinge hanger holes on both sides of the door.
REMOVING A MAINTOP Push the front of the maintop to the left and lift the left corner, then unclip and lift the other corner, and raise the front of the maintop. PUSH TO SIDE AND LIFT TO UNCLIP Slide the maintop to the right and remove the left hinge pin from the hinge bracket, then free the right hinge pin from its bracket, and remove the maintop.

OVEN DOOR LOCK SYSTEM The oven door lock system uses a solenoid-activated, push-push mechanism. The oven door will lock as soon as it is closed and the CLEAN function is programmed into the Electronic Oven Control (EOC). When the solenoid is activated, the plunger extends, and the actuator rod moves the latch to lock the door.
IGNITION SYSTEM OPERATION AMPS = VOLTAGE DIVIDED BY RESISTANCE A cold ignitor has a high resistance. When the oven control relay closes— OVEN CONTROL RELAY Current flows through the ignitor and the bimetal coil. OVEN CONTROL RELAY High ignitor resistance causes low current flow through the bimetal coil. As the ignitor heats up, its resistance decreases.
Page 20
Lower ignitor resistance increases the current flow through the bimetal coil. When the ignitor is fully heated, its resistance is low. Low resistance causes maximum current to flow through the bimetal coil (2.5 to 3.6 amps). OVEN CONTROL RELAY As the bimetal coil heats, it heats the bimetal arm inside the gas safety valve. CURRENT FLOW (IGNITOR...

The gas at the burner is lit by the hot ignitor and a flame is produced. BURNER FLAME BURNER IGNITOR GAS VALVE When the oven reaches its selected temperature, the oven control relay opens, and power is removed from the circuit. With no voltage applied, the ignitor and bimetal coil start to cool. OVEN CONTROL BIMETAL RELAY...
OVEN DOOR LOCK SYSTEM Voltage is supplied to the control transformer whenever the range is plugged in. Current flows from L1, through the transformer, to the neutral side of the line. When voltage is supplied to the EOCs Latch Solenoid Relay, current flows through the Latch Solenoid, to the neutral side of the line. OVEN CONTROL BROIL RELAY P3-1...

OVEN THERMAL FUSE The oven thermal fuse is located on the back of the range. A thermal fuse is used on electric models with EZ-200 and EZ-300 oven controls. BROIL ELEMENT TERMINALS ACCUBAKE™ TEMPERATURE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM The AccuBake™ Temperature Management System provides better baking results. Both the Bake and Broil elements can cycle independently or together to maintain more even temperatures.
