SURFACE ELEMENTS - CERAN
Verify there is proper voltage applied to the
oven (the range may have blown a fuse or
circuit breaker). A quick check is to see if the
other elements heat. If not, check the
voltage at the electrical outlet and check to
see that the power cord is wired correctly.
To Check Surface Element:
1. Disconnect unit from power source
2. Remove main top by removing screws
securing top to burner box and lay aside
securely.
3. Visually check the element for evidence
of damage or shorting. Then check the
element for continuity with an ohmmeter
connected to the element terminals.
With ohmmeter set at RX1, resistance
will normally be below 28 ohms, large
and 48 ohms, small. If the element
shows no continuity or extremely high
resistance, it should be replaced.
4. With power to the unit disconnected, set
the control switch for this element on the
high setting. With a voltmeter set on 250
or 300 volt scale, re-apply power and
check for voltage at the surface element
terminal block, then check the surface
element.
Each heating element is equipped with a
temperature limiter which prevents heat
surges and ensures that the heating
elements will not overheat.
The "Hot Surface" light will come on
indicating when ceran surface is 150ºF ±
50ºF. The Hi-Limit which shuts burner off at
1050ºF ± 60ºF.

DUEL ELEMENT
The cooking surface is equipped with a dual
element located in the right front position.
To operate, push in on the controlknob and
turn to the left to control the large element,
or push in and turn to the right to control the
small element.
PROBE, SENSOR / BOTH OVENS
Oven Sensor
The oven sensor is located inside the oven
cavity, attached to the rear wall of the cavity.
As the oven temperature increases, the
resistance of the oven sensor increases. The
resistance is measured by the electronic
control to determine the oven temperature.
