Either a 19 or 20 series. Can't tell from picture.

The Compact 30 range looks like a RBE-533N. That's the self-cleaning model without the Heat-Minder burner and the Speed Heat burners. 

 

I have a similar one but mine is a RBE-539N-CH. The 539 does have the Heat Minder and Speed Heat.

I can understand the burst delivered in a short interval of 220v, but the Heat Minder? Have you any noticeable occasions when this feature was critical to your cooking? I just don't understand why the turning off and on would be any different than a thermostat that regulates the temperature. Or is it designed to turn off the oven when temperatures are too hot, which occur more often at ? settings? Just trying to piece together the value of a Heat Minder.

Heat Minder was Frigidaire's equivalent to GE's Sensi-Temp, which was the greatest invention since the wheel. Having a burner that can be relied upon to maintain a set temperature is a tremendous boon. Why nothing like that is available today is beyond me.

Honestly, many don't make the difference between a sensor-controlled burner and a regular infinite switch controlled burner! They might start on a high temperature to turn it down to the correct temperature later while it would have done it by itself if set to the correct temperature in the first place!

There's also a note in the instructions below that suggest always turning the control to off when the utensil is removed from the burner. That's something that many users don't get and they're surprised to see the burner getting really hot on a low setting while there's no utensil on it!

 

 

A sensor-controlled burner will start on full heat and then cycle to maintain the correct temperature like an oven does.  A burner controlled by an infinite switch will take longer to heat up if you leave it on low and don't adjust the temperature. 

 

Here's a copy of the Heat Minder guide for my 1966 RJ-39K range and the various suggested temperatures...
