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 9.5(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 Indicators

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. "HE" (hot element) will appear in the element power level display while the element is still hot. The HE indicator will remain in the display unil the element has cooled sufficiently (See Figure 8).
