Power Switch
Switch power switch to the "I" position. The switch will illu-
minate when power is on.
Fan
The fan located in the rear of the control section will run
continuously as long as power is supplied to the furnace,
even when the furnace power switch is OFF. This serves
to remove residual heat after the furnace is turned OFF
so the heat does not cause damage to sensitive electron-
ic components.
Cycle Indicator
The amber cycle light will illuminate whenever the power
is being applied to the elements.
Door Safety Switch
The door safety switch removes power from the heating
elements when the door is opened. Open and close door
a few times, note that the amber cycle light will go out
while the door is open. If this condition is not true, con-
sult the troubleshooting section before proceeding.
Digital Readout
The Digital Readout continuously displays the chamber
temperature.
