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. | Figure 1 | Figure 2 |
The available ESEC Window Display Settings
The ESEC control will display heat levels ranging from Hi (Figure 1) to Lo (Figure
5)and OFF (Figure 6). 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 4) are Simmer | settings which decrease | or increase in | Figure 3 | Figure 4 | |||
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. |
