Setting Surface Controls (cont'd)
The Electronic Surface Element Control (ESEC)
The Electronic Surface Element Control (ESEC) feature provides a digital display
of the radiant surface elements on the cooktop. The ESEC display in combination
with the touch pads is designed to replace conventional control knobs.
The available ESEC Window Display Settings
The ESEC control will display heat levels ranging from Hi (Figure 1) to Lo (Figure
6) and OFF (Figure 7). The settings between 9.0 (Figure 2) and 3.0 (Figure 3)
decrease or increase in increments of .5 (1/2). The settings between 3.0 (Figures 3
& 4) and 1.2 (Figure 5) are Simmer settings which decrease or increase in
increments of .2 (1/5) to Lo (Figure 6; lowest Simmer setting) for more precise
settings at lower heat levels. Use the Recommended Surface Setting Chart to
determine the correct setting for the kind of food you are preparing.
Hot Surface indicator Lights
After using any of the radiant element positions the cooktop will become very hot.
After turning any of these elements OFF, the cooktop will remain HOT for some
time. The "Hot Surface" indicator light located on the glass cooktop will glow
whenever any of the element positions become HOT. The Hot Surface indicator
light will remain ON while hot and turn OFF once the cooktop has cooled
sufficiently.
ESEC Lockout Feature ( - - )
The ESEC feature will not operate during a Self-Clean cycle or when the Cooktop
Lockout feature is active. Whenever the Cooktop Lockout feature is active, " - - "
will appear in any display window (See Figure 8).
ESEC PF message
The ESEC will display the PF message (Figure 9) whenever there has been a
power interruption to the appliance. To clear the PF message touch any ON/OFF
ESEC control pad to reset and be sure to reset the clock with the correct time of
day if necessary. If the PF displays again repeat these steps.
