Summary of the content on the page No. 10
The normally-closed (N.C.) contacts of relay 4 provide a potential circuit for the Base Thermal Fuse (see the following strip circuit). If the base of the oven exceeds 133˚F, the thermal fuse contacts close, and a circuit for the low-speed side of the blower motor is completed, which turns the motor on. The low-speed blower will operate until the base temperature drops below 104˚F and opens the thermal fuse contacts, and turns off. N L1 MICROCOMPUTER BOARD 15A LINE LOW-VOLTAGE FUSE TRANSFORMER
