Setting Surface Controls

Models with Ceramic Glass Cooktop (continued)

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 will glow whenever any of the element positions becomes HOT. The Hot Surface indicator light will remain ON while hot and turn OFF once the cooktop has cooled sufficiently.

ESEC Error Indicator Message (Er)

An error message will be displayed (flashing “Er”) at power up (or after a power failure) if ANY
of the surface control knobs were left in the ON positions (See Fig. 1). 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.	Fig. 1
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 an authorized servicer for assistance.

ESEC Lockout Feature ( - - )

The ESEC feature will not operate during a Self-Clean cycle. Whenever the ESEC Lockout
feature is active, " - - " will appear in any display window (See Fig. 2).	Fig. 2

Operating Single Radiant Surface Elements (Models with Ceramic Glass Cooktop Only)

The cooktop has single radiant surface elements at location as shown on Figs. 4 to 7.

To Operate the Single Surface Elements:

1. Place correctly sized cookware on the radiant surface element.

2. Push in and turn the surface control knob in either direction to the desired setting (Fig. 3). 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. Each 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 is too small for the surface heating area.

3.When cooking has completed, turn the surface control knob to OFF before removing the cookware. Note: The Surface Indicator light will come on when the control knob will be turn on and will continue to glow until the glass cooktop has cooled down to a moderate level. The light may remain on even though the controls are turned OFF.
