Cooktop Sabbath Day Feature and Message (Sb)

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 displays in combination with the touch pads are designed to replace the conventional control knob and power level tick mark indicators.

In addition your range includes shared radiant element touch pad settings. The "Bridge" element combinations and Triple radiant element settings are also shown in the ESEC display windows.

The available ESEC Window Display Settings

The ESEC control will display heat levels ranging from Hi (Fig. 1) to Lo (Fig.

6)and OFF (Fig. 7) that will display in the ESEC windows. The settings between 9.0 (Fig. 2) and 3.0 (Fig. 3) decrease or increase in increments of .5 (1/2). The settings between 3.0 (Figs. 3 & 4) and 1.0 (Fig. 5) are Simmer settings which decrease or increase in increments of .2 to Lo ( Fig. 6; lowest Simmer setting) for more precise settings at lower heat levels. Use the Recommended Surface Setting Chart (See page 11, Fig. 1) to determine the correct setting for the kind of food you are preparing.

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 backguard control monitors the temperature for 5 positions on the cooktop. The "Hot Surface" indicator light (Fig. 8) 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 (Fig. 9).

ESEC PF message		Boo
The ESEC will display the PF message whenever there has been a power
interruption to the appliance. PF will appear in the ESEC display windows as		Fig. 8
shown in Fig. 1O. To clear the PF message touch any ON/OFF ESEC control
pad to reset and be sure to reset the clock with the correct time of day if
necessary. If the PF displays	again repeat these steps.

Cooktop Sabbath Day Feature and (Sb) Message

The ESEC will display the Sb messages whenever the Sabbath Day feature is active (Fig. 11). When activated, the Sabbath Day Feature works for both the oven and cooktop together. Once the Sabbath Day Feature is active, changes to the heat levels for the cooktop elements will not show in the displays. The cooktop will react slower to heat level changes. To set the Sabbath Day feature see the complete instructions on page 32.

Radiant surface elements may appear to have cooled after they have been turned off. The glass surface may still be hot and burns may occur if the glass surface is touched before it has cooled sufficiently.

Do not place aluminum foil or plastic items such as salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on top of the range when it is in use, These items could

melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or wooden spoons could catch fire if placed too close to the surface elements.
