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. Arrange oven rack while oven is still cool. Position
the rack as suggested in the chart below.
Rack Position From Top Food
1 Rare steaks
2 Fish, medium
s t e a k s ,
hamburgers and
chops
3 Well-done foods
such as chicken
and lobster
2. Press Broil.
3. 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 broil or the Down Arrow
for LO 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.
4. Place the insert on the broiler pan, then place the
food on the insert.
DO NOT use the broiler pan
without the insert or cover the insert with aluminum
foil. The exposed grease could ignite.
5. Place the pan on the oven rack. Open the oven
door to the broil stop position when broiling.
6. 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.
7. When broiling is finished, press Clear Off.
CAUTION: 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:
CAUTION: NEVER ATTEMPT TO REMOVE EITHER
THE BAKE OR BROIL ELEMENT WITHOUT DIS-
CONNECTING ELECTRICAL POWER FROM THE
RANGE. ELECTRICAL POWER IS CONNECTED
TO THE ELEMENTS WHENEVER ELECTRICAL
POWER IS CONNECTED TO THE RANGE.
The ES 100 electronic oven control system is made up
of two parts that control the bake and broil elements.
1. Electronic oven control.
2. Oven temperature sensor.
Bake:
When the bake pad is touched, and a temperature is set
with the up or down arrows, the bake relay on the board
closes. This connects one side of the line to the bake
element. In the tip of the oven sensor is a positive
thermistor that increases in resistance as the oven
temperature increases. The microprocessor reads the
resistance of the oven sensor, and compares it with
programmed temperature set into the control. When the
resistance of the oven sensor indicates temperature in
the oven is about 10 degrees above the programmed
temperature, the microprocessor opens the relay, which
removes power from one side of the element. When
power is removed from the element the oven temperature
begins to lower. As the oven temperature lowers the
resistance of the oven sensor decreases. When the oven
drops to about 10 degrees below the programmed
temperature, the resistance of the sensor tells the
microprocessor to close the bake relay contacts, and
provide power to the bake element once again.
NOTE: Oven controls may have a temperature
swing of more or less than 20 degrees. The
important thing is the average temperature in the
oven. The average temperature in the center of the
oven should be within 10 degrees of the
programmed temperature.
Broil:
When the broil pad is touched, and High or Low is set
with the up or down arrows, the broil relay on the board
closes. This connects one side of the line to the broil
element. In the tip of the oven sensor is a positive
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. Usually
you do not want the broil element to cycle so the oven
door is opened to the broil stop position. If the door is not
opened the broil element will cycle when the set
temperature is reached.
