vection System
The conv

see the Appendix.
Blower Motor (Bottom)
The bottom blower motor is a brushless AC-switch
reluctance type and spins clockwise. Its top speed
is 7100 RPM at 1 HP, and it is controlled by a
pr
oprietary controller.
The bottom blo
wer motor can be tested in Test
Mode (see page 13).
Blo
wer Motor (Top)
The top blower motor is a brushless AC-switch
r
eluctance type and spins counterclockwise. Its top
speed is 7100 RPM at 1 HP, and it is controlled by
a proprietary controller.
The top blower motor can be tested in Test Mode
(see page 13).
Blo
wer Motor Speed Controller (BMSC)
The motor contr
oller is proprietary and will only
operate the motors described abo
ve. It is controlled
via 0-10 VDC speed command from the I/O
control board and can be tested in Test Mode by
testing the blo
w
er motors (see page 13). For
additional troubleshooting, see page 33.
Heater Elements
The main conv
ection heaters are sheathed-style
and rated at 3000 watts at 208
V
A
C, with a
resistance of 14.4 Ohms. The convection heaters
ar
e controlled by the K4/K5 solid state relay, and
can be tested in Test Mode (see page 13).
Jetpla
te (Bottom)
The bottom jetplate channels air generated from
the bottom blo
wer motor into the cook cavity.
Jetplate (Top)
The top jetplate channels air generated fr
om the
top blower motor into the cook cavity. Before the
air passes through the jetplate nozzles, it is mixed
by a stirrer.
CAUTION: The top jetplate is ceramic. Be
car
eful when removing or reinstalling it.
Stirrer Motor and Assembly
The stirrer is responsible for evenly distributing
hot air and microwave that enters the cook cavity
fr
om the top. The stirrer is driven by a motor that
r
emains on during a cook cycle or when the oven
is in
Test Mode. The stirrer motor turns off when
the cook cavity temperatur
e recedes below 150°F
(66°C).
The stirrer motor can be tested in Test Mode (see
page 13).
Troubleshooting
The follo
wing faults may occur in relation to the
convection system:
-F1: Blower (see page 33)
-
F2: Lo
w Temp (see page 34)
-
F6: EC Temp (see page 37)
-
F7: Thermo (see page 37)
-F8: Heat Low (see page 38)
The following cooking performance issues may
occur in relation to the convection system:
