ACCUSIMMER™ BURNER

• 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.

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:

1. Open the door half way and install a nail or a screw into the hinge hanger holes on both sides of the door.
2. Close the oven door as far as the nails or screws will allow, lift the door off the two hinge pins, pull the door towards you so that the hinges are free of the slots, and remove it

L.P. CONVERSION

L.P. Conversion Kits will be shipped with the product. Kits include four top burner orifice spuds. The kit numbers are as follows:

Kit #3196473—Sealed Burner Models

• (2) #65 spuds–8500 B.T.U. (brass)
• (1) #68 spud–6500 B.T.U. (black)
• (1) .7 mm spud–5500 B.T.U. (nickel)

Kit #3196471—Open Burner Models

• (4) #66 spuds (8000 B.T.U. each)

ORIFICE SPECIFICATIONS

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

• OHMS LAW: I = E/R
• AMPS = VOLTAGE DIVIDED BY RESISTANCE
• A cold ignitor has a high resistance. When the oven control relay closes
• Current flows through the ignitor and the bimetal coil.
• As the bimetal coil heats, it heats the bimetal arm inside the gas safety valve.
• As the bimetal arm heats, it bends and opens the gas safety valve outlet to the burner.
• The gas at the burner is lit by the hot ignitor and a flame is produced

CURRENT FLOW

• Voltage is supplied to the control transformer whenever the range is plugged in. Current flows fro 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.

THE OVEN TEMPERATURE SENSOR

To test the oven temperature sensor, perform the following steps:

1. Use an ohmmeter and set the range switch to R x 10.
2. With no power applied, touch the leads of the ohmmeter to the connector pins of the sensor (you do not have to separate the connectors). Depending upon the oven temperature, you should obtain the corresponding reading shown in the chart:
   

   Temperature (˚F)	Resistance (W)
   32 ± 1.9	1000 ± 4.0
   75 ± 2.5	1091 ± 5.3
   250 ± 4.4	1453 ± 8.9
   350 ± 5.4	1654 ± 10.8
   450 ± 6.9	1853 ± 13.5
   550 ± 8.2	2047 ± 15.8
   650 ± 8.6	2237 ± 18.5
   900 ± 13.6	2697 ± 24.4

• For a description and test procedure for the Oven Temperature Sensor, refer to the previous page.

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.

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. The following “Relay Cycling Chart” shows how the relays operate the two elements to obtain various bake and broil temperatures
