CONTROL PANEL

The electronic touch controls, located on the front
of the control console, are capacitance touch
design. The crystal keypanel assembly has the
capacitance touch circuit board bonded to its
surface on the rear side.
Keypanel Removal
1. Remove power to the unit.
2. Remove all four control knobs.
3. Remove the four nylon retainer nuts which
secure the crystal keypanel assembly to
the control console. Important note:
when reinstalling the nylon retainer nuts,
tighten only hand tight. Be sure that each
nylon retainer nut is flush with the glass
keypanel (the shoulder of the nylon re-
tainer nut is seated into the glass
keypanel). Over tightening can damage
crystal keypanel assembly.

assembly can now be pulled away from
the control console to gain access to the

keypanel to the ERC (Electronic Range
