*Important Note*
BEFORE CARRYING OUT WORK ON THE APPLIANCE, THE POWER SUPPLY MUST
BE ISOLATED AND TESTED FOR SAFE ELECTRICAL ISOLATION.
The main cooker assembly is electrically tested before leaving the factory.
The cooker is controlled by a PCB which is located in the base of the cooker.
Always inspect the cooker before any work is carried and notify the customer of any existing
damage.
The customer's capacitance touch user panel is connected to the main PCB by a communication
cable which is routed within the cooker.
The cooker has 5 cooking zones: Boiling plate, Simmer plate, Roast oven, Baking oven and Simmer
oven.
The boiling and simmer plate use the same 2.5kw circular element and the ovens have the same
rectangular 2.5kw element, the roasting and baking oven have 2 elements one in the top and one in
the base whereas the simmer oven has only one element in the base.
All element resistances will be approximately 18-22 ohms.

Power sharing around the cooking zones.

The PCB within the eR7 is programmed to share the power supply around the different cooking
zones. This means that despite the zones totalling around 17.5kW, which would have an approx.
current draw of 76amps only a 30amp supply is required. This is achieved by the programme only
allowing three elements to be active at any time.
The programme works in a priority order meaning that if all zones are turned on together the boiling
and simmering plates will always achieve 100% power initially, with the roasting oven's two
elements alternating on / off to achieve the desired temperature. This means that at any one time
there are only three elements on at the same time.
Once a zone reaches temperature the power is then shared to another zone with a lower set
temperature. This varies automatically depending on the chosen settings.
