OPERATION
II. COMPONENT INFORMATION AND
LOCATION (Figures 3-1 and 3-2)
A. Door Safety Switch
The Door Safety Switch is located at the lower left side of
control panel opening. Opening the control panel door
permits this switch to open, disconnecting power to all
electrical controls.
CAUTION
Do NOT touch the wires going to this safety switch.
Current is always present.
B. Blower Switch
The blower switch has two positions. The switch must be
“ON” or “I” for the burner to come on and permit the oven
to warm up. The fan circulates the air throughout the oven
and
must stay on during baking and during the cool down
cycle above 200°F (93°C) to prevent blower bearing
damage. To protect the blower motor and bearings a
thermostatic override is built into the oven. If the tempera-
ture inside the oven is over 180°F (82°C) the main blower
will continue to run after the blower switch is turned to the
“OFF” or “O” position.
An air pressure switch monitors the air flow from the
blower, acting as a safety interlock for the burner. The
burner cannot light, if the air switch does not sense air flow
off the main blower fan.
C. Heat Switch
Turning the HEAT switch to “ON” or“I” will initially set up
the oven purge circuit. After approximately 30 seconds,
the burner lights. After the burner is lit, a flame sensor
sends a signal to the ignition module to stop the spark.
The burner will run unless the flame sensor does not
detect a flame or the heat switch is turned to the “OFF”
or “O” position.
The HEAT switch is in series with the burner blower motor
centrifugal switch, the high-temperature safety switch,
and the blower fan air pressure switch. All three safety
switches must be closed for gas to flow and the burner to
light.
D. Temperature Controller
The temperature controller is a solid-state, on/off type to
maintain the operator-set temperature. The temperature
controller continuously monitors the oven temperature and
turns on the modulating solenoid valve in a gas-heated
oven. The heat is on for the time required to maintain a
constant oven temperature.
The temperature controller contains a low-limit switch
which allows the oven to cool down to 200°F (93°C) before
shutting off the blower. A high-limit indication (ALM 1) will
appear on the display if the oven reaches 650°F (343°C).
