The convection oven uses the addition of a fan and an element to heat and to move the air already in the oven. Moving
the heated air helps to destratify the heat and cause uniform heat distribution. Cooking times can be reduced by as
much as 30%. The air is drawn in through a fan shroud and the element located on the rear wall of the oven. It is
then discharged around the outer edges of this shroud. The air circulates around the food and then enters the shroud
again. As with conventional electric ranges, there is still an oven vent which discharges through the rear of the cooktop.
To set the control in convection mode, follow these steps:
1.Press the CONV. BAKE/ROAST pad.
2. Enter the desired temperature on the keypad (setpoint).
3. Press the START pad.
The oven will automatically start and the fan will begin to run. To cancel the convection baking/roasting function, press
the CANCEL pad.
NOTE: The fan runs continuously while in the convection mode. The fan will stop if the door is opened while
convection baking/roasting. The bake element will continue to operate if the door is opened.
It is normal to see a temperature overshoot in the
first rise of all modes when you monitor the temperature.
FIRST RISE
When these modes are called, the door locks right after start button is pushed.
CLEAN AND TIMED CLEAN
During a cleaning process, the oven uses bake element .
CLEAN
During a normal bake mode, the controler preheats the oven with the bake element. When the desired temperature
is reached, the controler adds top heat by cycling the broil element on for 12 to 18 seconds per minute . The bake
element is on for the remaining time of the minute. Both elements use full power when they are on but they are never
on at the same time.
NORMAL BAKE
During a preheat mode, the oven uses bake element to reach the controler set point. The element uses full power
when it's on. When the setpoint is reached, the preheat mode is converted in a normal bake mode.
PREHEAT
CONVECTION MODE
OVEN CALIBRATION
Set the electronic oven control for normal baking at 350°F/176°C. Obtain an average oven temperature after a
minimum of 5 cycles. Press Cancel to end bake mode.
Note: Changing calibration affects all the cooking modes but not the clean mode.

Note: Only three fault codes are displayed by this control “F1”, “F3”, and “F9”. Generally speaking “F1” implies a control
failure, “F3” an oven probe problem, and “F9” a latch motor problem. In all ocurrences the alarm is accompanied by a display
of “F1”
1. Shorted keypad.
2. Control's internal checksum may
have become corrupted.
3. Control has sensed a potential
runaway oven condition. Control may
have shorted relay, RTD sensor probe
may have gone bad.
1. Open RTD sensor probe/ wiring
problem. Note: EOC may initially
display an "F1", thinking a runaway
condition exists.
2. Shorted RTD sensor probe / wiring
problem. Note: "F3" is displayed
when oven is in active mode or an
attempt to enter an active mode is
made.
3. Abusive operation (safety
thermostat).
4. Safety thermostat opened, or cooling
fan stalled.
1. Door motor failure / jammed. Latch
motor switch failure.
2. Control software failure, or
component failure (relay stuck).
3. Wiring Problem.
Likely Failure Condition/Cause Suggested Corrective Action
Fault Code
1. Replace EOC.
2. Disconnect power, wait 30 seconds and reapply power. If
fault returns upon power-up, replace EOC.
3. Check RTD sensor probe and replace if necessary. If oven
is overheating, disconnect power. If oven continues to
overheat when the power is reapplied, replace EOC.
Severe overheating may require the entire oven to be
replaced, should damage be extensive.
1. Check wiring in probe circuit for possible open condition.
Check RTD resistance at room temperature (compare to
probe resistance chart). If resistance does not match the
chart, replace the RTD sensor probe.
2. Check wiring in probe circuit for possible short condition.
Check RTD resistance at room temperature (compare to
probe resistance chart). If resistance does not match the
chart, replace the RTD sensor probe.
3. Let the oven cool down and restart the function
4. Look for stalled cooling fan, broken safety thermostat
(opens).
1. Press CLEAR key.
2. If CLEAR key does not eliminate problem, turn off power
for 30 seconds, then turn on power.
3. Check wiring of Lock Motor, and Lock Switch A and Door
Switch circuits.
4. Unplug P4, apply power (L1) directly to the Lock Motor, if
the motor does not rotate, replace Lock Motor Assembly.
Plug P4.
5. Check Lock Switch A for proper operation (do they open
and close, check with ohmmeter). The Lock Motor may be
powered as in above step to open and close Lock Switch.
If the Lock Switch is defective, replace Motor Lock Assembly.
6. If all above steps fail to correct situation, replace control.

FAN BLADE
The fan blade is mounted in the rear of the unit and has a "D" shaped mounting hole. Only minimum clearance exists
between the oven back, fan blade, and fan shroud. Be careful not to bend blade when removing or installing.
Access to the fan blade is gained by removing the fan shroud, held in place by three screws, from the inside of the oven.
The fan blade is held in place with a hex nut that has left handed threads. When removing this nut, gently hold the
fan blade, and turn the nut clockwise. If one of the blades becomes deformed, it may be bent back into shape using
a flat surface as a reference.
A flat washer is located on the motor shaft between the snap ring on the shaft and the fan blade.
NOTE: If the fan blade is bent and motor vibrations increase, the noise made by the fan will be greater.
MOUNTING PLATE OVEN
The fan motor on the rear of the unit is mounted to the main back (with three screws). There is a mounting plate held
in place between the main back (with 2 screws) and the rear oven wall (with 2 screws). Should it be necessary to replace
the oven cavity, you must remove the 2 screws located inside the unit at the rear of the oven cavity.
FAN MOTOR
The 120 volt fan motor is located on the outside of the rear of the oven.
FAN RELAY
The fan motor runs continuously while in the convection mode unless the door is opened. If the fan does not operate,
check the following:
• Display illuminated on the electronic control.
• Voltage output between terminals P5-7 and Neutral.
• 120 Volts available at fan motor.
• Fan motor coil resistance 56.5 ohms ± 10%.
• Door/light switch.
DOOR LOCK MECHANISM
The appliance is equipped with an electronic oven control and has an auto locking door latch feature. When the self
clean cycle is programmed, the door is locked by a motor operated latch system. The interior of oven does'nt need to
heat up to 500°F/260°C before the door locks. However, until the temperature inside oven reaches 500°F/260°C, the
self-clean program can be canceled and door will unlock immediately. After oven reaches temperatures over 500°F/
260°C, the door will not unlock until temperature drops below 500°F/260°C.

OVEN DOOR REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT
The Warm and Serve Drawer is designed to keep prepared food warm until it is time to serve. This
feature is available on select gas and electric models. The Warm and Serve Drawer is electrically
operated on both gas and electric models.
Ranges featuring the Warm and Serve Drawer feature are equipped with heavy duty ball bearing
drawer glides. These glides not only support the weight more effectively, they also allow the drawer to
be opened to its full depth.
The warmer control is included in the features of your electronic controls. A 450 watt, 120 volt element
is secured to a metal base located just below the Warm and Serve Drawer. A preheat thermostat
(bimetal disk) is located at the left rear corner of the range, directly above the element terminals. The
system also contains a diode, indicator lamp, and safety thermostat. The diode is located in the wiring
harness a short distance from the safety thermostat.
The safety thermostat is mounted to the rear insulation panel and is actuated during the self-clean cycle. It is used to
open the circuit to the heating element so the warming drawer will not function during the self-clean cycle.

WARM AND SERVE DRAWER COMPLETE CIRCUIT (SOME MODELS)
NOTE: The hot surface indicator light will take around 10 minutes to turn ON.
WARMER ZONE CIRCUIT (SOME MODELS)
When the Warm and Serve Drawer is first turned on, a "Preheat" circuit is established to provide full power (120
volts). When the temperature at the preheat thermostat reaches 150°F the thermostat opens, and the warmer
element starts cycling. If the control is placed on a lower setting, it is possible for the temperature in the drawer to
drop enough to allow the preheat thermostat to close again which will allow the element to reenter the "Preheat"
mode at full power.

Il est normal que la température du four dépasse
le point de consigne désiré lors de sa première
élévation de température pour les différentes
fonctions.
PREMIÈRE ÉLÉVATION DE LA TEMPÉRATURE
Lorsque ces fonctions sont demandées, la porte se verrouille aussitôt que la touche départ est activée.
NETTOYAGE ET NETTOYAGE MINUTÉ
Lorsque la fonction nettoyage est en opération, le four utilise la chaleur de l'élément inférieur.
NETTOYAGE DU FOUR
Durant la fonction de préchauffage, le four utilise la chaleur de l'élément inférieur. Une fois la température dans
le four désirée atteinte, la commande de four active l'élément supérieur environ 6 à 9 secondes par minute.
L'élément inférieur est en fonction pendant les autres secondes. Les deux éléments sont à leur pleine puissance
lorsqu'ils sont en fonction. Par contre ils ne sont jamais en fonction en même temps.
PRÉCHAUFFAGE
Lors de la cuisson traditionnelle, le four utilise la chaleur de l'élément inférieur afin d'atteindre la température réglée.
L'élément est à sa pleine puissance lorsqu'il est en fonction. La commande de four active l'élément supérieur environ
6 à 9 secondes par minute.
CUISSON
Le four à convection utilise un élément et un ventilateur pour chauffer et faire circuler l'air qui se trouve déjà dans le
four. La circulation de l'air chaud permet de déstratifier la chaleur et d'obtenir une répartition de la chaleur uniforme.
Letempsde cuisson peutêtreréduit de prèsde30%. L'air estattirévers l'élément àl'intérieurdu diffuseur duventilateur
situé sur la paroi arrière du four. Il est ensuite libéré autour des extrémités extérieures du diffuseur. L'air circule autour
de l'aliment et pénètre à nouveau dans le diffuseur. Comme dans les cuisinières électriques conventionnelles, il existe
toujours un orifice ventilateur qui évacue l'air à l'arrière de la plaque de cuisson.
Pour régler la commande de cuisson par convection, suivez les deux étapes ci-dessous:
1.Appuyez sur la touche CUISSON À CONVECTION/RÔTISSAGE À CONVECTION.
2.Ajustez la commande du four à la température désirée (point de consigne) à l'aide du clavier.
3.Appuyez sur la touche DÉPART.
Le four et le ventilateur se mettent automatiquement en marche. Pour annuler la fonction de cuisson par convection,
appuyez sur la touche EFFACER.
NOTE: Le ventilateur fonctionne sans interruption durant la cuisson par convection. Le ventilateur s'arrête si la porte
s'ouvre pendant la cuisson/rôtissage par convection. L'Élément chauffant continue à fonctionner si la porte est ouverte.
MODE CONVECTION
Réglez le point de consigne pour une cuisson traditionnelle à 350°F (177°C). Mesurez la température moyenne du four
après un minimum de 5 cycles. Appuyez sur la touche EFFACER pour terminer le mode de cuisson.
