BEFORE Setting surface controls

The electronic surface element control (ESEC)

The Electronic Surface Element Control (ESEC) feature includes digital display windows. The ESEC feature provides a numeric digital setting for the radiant surface element positions on the cooktop. These settings work the same way as normal knob setting indicators work except the settings are displayed in digital windows.

The available ESEC display settings

The ESEC control provides various heat levels from Hi (Figure 2) to Lo (Figure 5) and OFF (Figure 1). The settings between 3.0 and 9.5 increase or decrease in increments of .5 (1/2). The settings between 1.2 and

3.0are Simmer settings which decrease or increase in increments of .2 (1/5) to Lo (Figure 5; 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.

ESEC power failure indicator message (PF)

When the range is first plugged in or when the power supply to the range has been interrupted, the ESEC control will display the message "PF" (Power Failure; Figure 6). After a few seconds the "PF" message will disappear from the display.

ESEC hot element indicator message (HE)

After using any of the single or dual radiant element positions the cooktop will become very hot. Even after 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) warning when the cooktop is still too hot to touch (Figure 4). If the HE message appears in the window, the control can still be turned on again for use.

ESEC error indicator message (Er)

An error message will be displayed (glowing “Er”) at power up (or after a power failure) if ANY of the surface control knobs were left in the ON positions (Figure 7). If a power failure should occur, be sure to set all of the surface control knobs to the OFF position. This will reset the surface controls.

Once the surface controls have been set to the OFF positions, the surface controls should return to normal operation. If the surface controls do not function and the “Er” message remains in any display after following these procedures, contact your authorized servicer for assistance.

ESEC Lockout Feature ( - - )

The ESEC feature will not operate during a Self-Clean cycle or when the Lockout feature is active. Whenever the Lockout feature is active, “ - - “ will appear in any ESEC digital display windows (See Figure 8) to show that all surface elements can not be activated.

Surface cooking settings

Use the chart to determine the correct setting for the type of food you are preparing.

Note: The size and type of cookware used will influence the setting needed for best cooking results.

Recommended Setting for Surface Element

Setting

Type of Cooking

 

 

HIGH (HI)

Start most foods; bring water to a boil

 

and pan broiling.

MEDIUM HIGH

Continue a rapid boil; frying, deep fat

(8-10)

frying.

 

 

MEDIUM (6)

Maintain a slow boil; thicken sauces

 

and gravies; steaming vegetables.

MEDIUM LOW

Keep foods cooking; poaching and

(2 - 4)

stewing.

 

 

LOW (LO)

Keep warm, melting and simmering.

 

 

NOTE

Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the element to cycle on and off, even at the HI setting. This helps to prevent damage to the ceramic smooth top. Cycling at the HI setting is normal and can occur if the cookware is too small for the radiant element or if the cookware bottom is not flat.
