To Change The Oven Temperature After Baking Has Started; To Set The Oven Control For Broil; How The Es 100 System Operates; Bake - Electrolux Next Gen 30" Service Manual

To Change the Oven Temperature after Baking has
Started:
1. Press Bake and make sure the bake temperature is
displayed.
2. Press the Up Arrow or Down Arrow to increase
or decrease the set temperature.
To Broil:
1. Slide broiler drawer out to the stop position.
2. Remove broiler pan and insert.
3. Always position rack before setting control, while
range is cool.
4. Position rack by tilting front of rack up and pulling
rack out from locating holes in rear of broiler drawer.
Reposition back of rack in the desired locating holes
and allow front of rack to slide down into the
corresponding slots in front of broiler drawer.
For rare meats, position the rack closer to the burner
(upper position).
For medium foods use middle position.
For well-done foods such as chicken, lobster tails or
thick cuts of meat, position the rack further from the
burner (lower position).
5. Place insert on broiler pan, then place meat on
insert. DO NOT use the broiler pan without the
insert. DO NOT cover the insert with aluminum foil.
The exposed fat could ignite.
6. Place broiler pan on rack; make sure the broiler pan
with the insert is positioned as shown. Be sure front
of pan is positioned correctly in rack.
7. Slide the broiler drawer all the way into the range.
Press Broil on Oven Control.
8. Press and hold the Up Arrow or Down Arrow until
the desired broil setting level appears in the display.
Press the Up Arrow for HI (high) broil or the Down
Arrow for LO (low) broil. Most foods can be broiled
at the HI broil setting. Select the LO broil setting to
avoid excess browning or drying of foods that should
be broiled to the well-done stage.
9. Broil on one side until food is browned; turn and
cook on the second side. Note: Always pull the rack
out to the stop position before turning or removing
food.
10. When broiling is finished, press Clear Off .
11. When removing broiler pan from broiler drawer always
use pot holders.
Note: The broiler pan and the insert allows grease to
drain and be kept away from the high heat of the broiler
DO NOT use the pan without the insert. DO NOT cover
the insert with foil; the exposed grease could ignite.
DO NOT use the broiler drawer for storage.
Items placed in the broiler drawer will catch fire.
Should an oven fire occur, close the oven
door and turn off the oven. If the fire continues, use a fire
extinguisher. DO NOT put water or flour on the fire. Flour
may be explosive.
HOW THE ES 100 OPERATES
The ES 100 electronic oven control system is made up
of two parts that control electrical power to the oven
igniter and valve.
1. Electronic oven control.
2. Oven temperature sensor.
When the bake pad is touched, and a temperature is set
with the up or down arrows the oven relay on the board
closes, and applies line to neutral voltage across the
oven circuit. The oven circuit is a series circuit made up
of the electronic oven control, a silicon carbide igniter
that reduces in resistance as it heats up, and a current
sensitive oven safety valve that needs a minimum of 3.2
amps of current to open. When electrical power is first
applied to the circuit the resistance of the igniter is high
enough that the current flow in the circuit is below the
amount needed to open the safety valve. As electrical
current flows through the igniter it causes the silicon
carbide material to heat reducing the resistance of the
igniter and increasing the current flow in the circuit.
When the temperature of the igniter reaches around
1800 degrees F the current flow in the circuit exceeds 3.2
amps. The oven safety valve opens allowing gas to flow
into the oven burner. The gas is then ignited by the heat
of the oven igniter and the oven begins to heat up. In the
tip of the oven sensor is a positive coefficient thermistor
that increases in resistance as the oven temperature
increases. The microprocessor reads the resistance of
the oven sensor, and compares it with a programmed
temperature set into the control. When the resistance of
the oven sensor indicates the temperature in the oven is
about 10 degrees above the programmed temperature,
the microprocessor opens the relay. This removes
power from the oven circuit and closes the safety valve.
When power is removed from the oven circuit the oven
temperature begins to lower. As the oven temperature
