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 3.0 are 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.

Power Boost Indicator Message (Pb)

When an induction zone is first set at Hi, the Power Boost feature will turn on (see Fig. 6). The Power Boost feature is used to bring large quantities of water or food to cooking temperature at the fastest speed possible. The Power Boost feature will give you up to 139% power output for a set amount of time (approx. 10 min).

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 7). After a few seconds

the "PF" message will disappear from the display.

Hot element indicator message (HE)

After using any of the 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.

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 8). 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.

Also, if the induction sensors cannot detect a pan made of the correct material or if the pan is not centered properly or if the pan is too small, the power level will flash in the digital display and the pan will not heat. After 3 minutes, an “Er” error code

will be displayed until the controls are set to OFF.

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 9) 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

stewing.

LOW (LO)

Keep warm, melting and simmering.

 

 

NOTE

The 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 element or if the cookware bottom is not flat.
