To Broil - Electrolux 30" Service Manual

To change the oven temperature after baking has
started:
1. Press Bake and make sure the bake temperature is
displayed.
2. Press the Up Arrow or Down Arrow to increase
or decrease the set temperature.

To broil:

1. Arrange oven rack while oven is still cool. Position
the rack as suggested in the chart below.
Rack Position From Top
1

2. Press Broil.
3. Press the Up Arrow for HI broil or the Down Arrow
for LO broil. Most foods can be broiled at the HI broil
setting. Select the LO broil setting to avoid excess
browning or drying of foods that should be broiled to
the well-done stage.
4. Place the insert on the broiler pan, then place the
food on the insert. DO NOT use the broiler pan
without the insert or cover the insert with aluminum
foil. The exposed grease could ignite.
5. Place the pan on the oven rack. Open the oven
door to the broil stop position when broiling.
6. Broil on one side until food is browned; turn and cook
on the second side. Note: Always pull the rack out
to the stop position before turning or removing food.
7. When broiling is finished, press Clear Off.
CAUTION: SHOULD AN OVEN FIRE OCCUR CLOSE
THE OVEN DOOR AND TURN OFF THE OVEN. IF THE
FIRE CONTINUES, USE A FIRE EXTINGUISHER. DO
NOT PUT WATER OR FLOUR ON THE FIRE. FLOUR
MAY BE EXPLOSIVE.
How the ES 100 operates:
CAUTION: NEVER ATTEMPT TO REMOVE EITHER
THE BAKE OR BROIL ELEMENT WITHOUT DIS-
CONNECTING ELECTRICAL POWER FROM THE
RANGE. ELECTRICAL POWER IS CONNECTED TO
THE ELEMENTS WHENEVER ELECTRICAL POWER
IS CONNECTED TO THE RANGE.
The ES 100 electronic oven control system is made up
of two parts that control the bake and broil elements.
1. Electronic oven control.
Food 2. Oven temperature sensor.
Rare steaks Bake:
Fish, medium Cooking mode that provides a controlled temperature in
s t e a k s , the oven cavity the bake element and optionally the broil
hamburgers and element off and on. When the bake pad is touched, and
chops a temperature is set with the up or down arrows, the bake
relay on the board closes. This connects one side of the
Well-done foods line to the bake element. In the tip of the oven sensor is
such as chicken a positive thermistor that increases in resistance as the
and lobster oven temperature increases. The microprocessor reads
the resistance of the oven sensor, and compares it with
programmed temperature set into the control. When the
resistance of the oven sensor indicates temperature in
the oven is about 10 degrees above the programmed
temperature, the microprocessor opens the relay, which
removes power from one side of the element. When
power is removed from the element the oven temperature
begins to lower. As the oven temperature lowers the
resistance of the oven sensor decreases. When the oven
drops to about 10 degrees below the programmed
temperature, the resistance of the sensor tells the
microprocessor to close the bake relay contacts, and
provide power to the bake element once again.
NOTE: Oven controls may have a temperature swing of
Broil:
When the broil pad is touched, and High or Low is set
with the up or down arrows, the broil relay on the board
closes. This connects one side of the line to the broil
element. In the tip of the oven sensor is a positive
thermistor that increases in resistance as the oven
temperature increases. The microprocessor reads the
resistance of the oven sensor, and compares it with a
programmed temperature set into the control. Usually

more or less than 20 degrees. The important
thing is the average temperature in the oven.
The average temperature in the center of the
oven should be within 10 degrees of the
programmed temperature.
