Surface Cooking (continued)
Ceramic Glass Cooktop (somemodels)(continued)
Models with Electronic Surface Element Controls (ESEC)
Hot Element Indicator Message (HE)
After using any of the single, dual or bridge radiant element positions the cooktop will become very
hot. Evenafter turning the control knob to OFF,the cooktop will remain hot for some time. The ESEC
control monitors the temperature of the cooktop and displays the message "HE" (hot element) warn-
ing when the cooktop isstill too hot to touch (Fig. I). If the HEmessage appears in the window, the
control can be turned on again for use.

Operating (ESEC) Single Radiant Surface Elements
The cooktop hassingle radiant surface elements at 2 locations; the right
rear (Fig. 3) and left rear (Fig. 4) element positions. The BRIDGEelement
position can also be used asa single element.
To Operate the Single Surface Elements:
1. Placecorrectly sized cookware on the radiant surface element.
2. Pushin and turn the surface control knob in either direction to the de-
sired setting using the ESECdigital display window for the desired set-
ting (Fig. 2). Turn the knob to adjust the setting if desired. Start most
cooking operations on a higher setting and then turn to a lower setting
to finish cooking. Eachsurface element provides a constant amount of

Operating the ESEC Dual Surface Radiant Elements
(some models)
The cooktop isequipped with a dual radiant surface element located at
the right front (Fig. 8) position. The size of graduations on control panel
indicate which coil of the dual radiant element will heat. The small ,,,o_0J ®,,,o_ ,_,_,, ®.....
graduations indicates that only the inner coil will heat (Fig. B& 7). The
large graduations indicates that both inner and outer coils will heat (Fig. 6
& 8). You may switch from either coil setting at any time during cooking. [:: :ii :: .:.:i
To Operate the Dual Surface Elements:
I. Placecorrectly sized cookware on the radiant surface element. Figure 5 Figure 6
2. Pushin and turn the control knob counterclockwise (Fig. 5) for smaller
cookware and clockwise (Fig. 6) for larger cookware.
3. Usethe ESECdigital display window for the desired setting. Turn the Appearence and graphics of cooktops
knob to adjust the setting if needed. Start most cooking operations on may be differents

surface element provides a constant amount of heat at each setting. A
glowing red surface heating area extending beyond the bottom edge
of the cookware indicates the cookware istoo small for the surfaCeheatingarea.

Radiant surface elements may appear to have cooled af-
ter they have been turned off. The glass surface may still be hot and
burns may occur if the glass surface istouched before it hascooled suffi-
ciently.
