OVEN CONTROLS (Fig. 1)
Thermostat — (located on the right side of the switch panel) controls and maintains oven temperature around
the desired set temperature. Temperature range of the oven is from 175°F to 550°F.
3-Heat Switches — (two switches which are located one on each side of the thermostat) control the top and
bottom oven heating elements, thereby controlling the rate of temperature build-up. At HI position, the maximum
element power is utilized (both elements connected in parallel), at MED position, only one of the two elements
is on (about one-half power), and at LO position, the two elements are on in series (about one-quarter power).
Oven Indicator Light — (located next to the thermostat) when lit, indicates the thermostat is calling for heat and
when OFF, indicates the desired temperature is reached.
