FIVE KEY BENEFITS & FEATURES 1. The Largest Oven Capacity In The Industry a) The Super Capacity 465™ Range offers more oven space than any other range in the industry—4.65 cubic feet. b) Large meals are never a problem with the spacious capacity. c) Save time by cooking multiple meals and freezing them for the busy days ahead. 2. Consistent Cooking Results a) AccuSimmer™ burners on gas ranges provide precise low-heating for delicate sauces and chocolates (Models SF385 & SF395).
WARNING LABELS This manual is intended for factory-service technicians only. We recommend that customers DO NOT service their own units, because of the complexity and risk of high-voltage electrical shock. The following information is used throughout this manual, and should be read carefully.

ACCUSIMMER™ BURNER The AccuSimmer™ (right rear) burner is designed to provide 550 B.T.U.s for precise, low-heat cooking. ACCUSIMMER BURNER ACCUSIMMER BURNER CONTROL THE VENTURI SYSTEM The exclusive sealed gas venturi burners provide precise, even flame control so that each burner stays lit, even under sudden draft conditions. Airflow to the front and rear burners is adjusted at the front of the venturi by prying the slots open or closed, or by rotating the air shutters.

OVEN DOOR REMOVAL The procedure for removing the oven door is the same for both gas and electric ranges. The door removal is different from previous ranges. To remove the door: 1. Open the door half way and install a nail or a screw into the hinge hanger holes on both sides of the door. insert nail or screw here range oven door hinge hanger 2.
REMOVING A MAINTOP 1. Push the front of the maintop to the left and lift the left corner, then unclip and lift the other corner, and raise the front of the maintop. PUSH TO SIDE AND LIFT TO UNCLIP MAINTOP CLIP SIDE PANEL 2, Slide the maintop to the right and remove the left hinge pin from the hinge bracket, then free the right hinge pin from its bracket, and remove the maintop.

OVEN DOOR LOCK SYSTEM The oven door lock system uses a solenoid-activated, push-push mechanism. The oven door will lock as soon as it is closed and the CLEAN function is programmed into the Electronic Oven Control (EOC). When the solenoid is activated, the plunger extends, and the actuator rod moves the latch to lock the door.
IGNITION SYSTEM OPERATION OHMS LAW: I = E/R AMPS = VOLTAGE DIVIDED BY RESISTANCE A cold ignitor has a high resistance. When the oven control relay closes— OHMS L1 LO N HI OVEN CONTROL RELAY BIMETAL COIL IGNITOR Current flows through the ignitor and the bimetal coil. OHMS L1 LO OVEN CONTROL RELAY N HI BIMETAL COIL IGNITOR High ignitor resistance causes low current flow through the bimetal coil. As the ignitor heats up, its resistance decreases.
Lower ignitor resistance increases the current flow through the bimetal coil. When the ignitor is fully heated, its resistance is low. Low resistance causes maximum current to flow through the bimetal coil (2.5 to 3.6 amps). OHMS LO L1 OVEN CONTROL RELAY AMPS HI LO IGNITOR HI N BIMETAL COIL As the bimetal coil heats, it heats the bimetal arm inside the gas safety valve.
The gas at the burner is lit by the hot ignitor and a flame is produced. BURNER FLAME BURNER HOT IGNITOR GAS VALVE GAS FLOW When the oven reaches its selected temperature, the oven control relay opens, and power is removed from the circuit. With no voltage applied, the ignitor and bimetal coil start to cool. L1 N OVEN CONTROL RELAY BIMETAL COIL IGNITOR The bimetal arm cools, bends to its original position, and closes the gas safety valve.
