I'm no TRI, but from what I understand the basic premise of the checklist is to allow a normal approach and landing by bringing the aircraft out of the EEC prior to landing.

Avionics smoke is usually caused by an overloaded circuit and the melting of rubbers and plastics. If the avionics bay smoke has NOT been triggered the cause must be somewhere else in the aircraft eg a wiring loom in the cabin, which could be much more serious if power is resupplied.
