ERC III ELECTRONIC OVEN CONTROL
1. This self-cleaning controller offers Bake, Broil, Preheat or Convection Bake/Roasting modes, Timed and
Delayed Baking and Cleaning functions.
2. Convection operates with a fan dedicated to convection and a convection element on some models.
NOTE: THE ERC III'S ARE NOT FIELD REPAIRABLE. ONLY TEMPERATURE SETTINGS CAN BE CHANGED.
See Oven Calibration.
NOTE: Depending on model, the size and shape of touch pads may vary. (For example, eliptical instead of
round). Some models may also have round push buttons instead of touch pads.
CONVECTION MODE (some models)
The convection oven uses the addition of a fan and a convection element (some models) to heat and to move the
air already in the oven. Moving the heated air helps to destratify the heat and cause uniform heat distribution.
Cooking times can be reduced by as much as 30%. The air is drawn in through a fan shroud located on the rear
wall of the oven. It is then discharged around the outer edges of this shroud. The air circulates around the food
and then enters the shroud again. As with conventional electric ranges, there is still an oven vent which discharges
through the rear or the sides of the cooktop.
To set the control in convection mode, follow these steps:
1. Press the CONV. BAKE/ROAST pad.
2. Enter the desired temperature on the keypad (setpoint).
3. Press the START pad.
The oven will automatically start and the fan will begin to run. To cancel the convection baking/roasting function,
press the CANCEL pad.
NOTE: The fan runs continuously while in the convection mode. The fan will stop if the door is opened while
convection baking/roasting. The heating element will continue to operate IF the door IS openED.
CONVECTION MODE OVEN TEMPERATURE (some models)
Because heat is more evenly distributed in convection mode, foods can be cooked at lower temperatures. In order
to allow the consumer to bake per their existing methods, there is a negative offset temperature of 25°F/13.5°C in
the programming of the control. This means that when the consumer sets the control for 375°F/ 190°C , the actual
oven temperature is cycling at 350°F/ 176°C.
