The Electronic Surface Element Control (ESEC)

The Electronic Surface Element Control ("ESEC") feature includes 4 digital display windows. The ESEC feature provides a numeric digital setting for 4 of the radiant surface element positions on the cooktop, including shared settings at the left front knob control position for both the left front radiant element and the "Bridge" radiant element. Also the right front control knob position shares settings for the dual radiant element. These settings work the same way as normal knob setting indicators work except the settings are displayed in digital windows (Figures 1 thru 4).

The available ESEC Display Settings

The ESEC control provides various heat levels from Hi (Fig. 2) to Lo (Fig. 4) and OFF (Fig. 1). The settings from Hi to 3.0 decrease in increments of .5. The settings from 3.0 to Lo (Simmer settings) decrease in increments of .2 for more precise settings of lower heat levels.

Use the chart (Fig. 5) to determine the correct setting for the kind of food you are preparing. The Simmer settings are used to simmer and keep larger quantities of foods warm such as stews and soups. The lower Simmer settings are ideal for delicate foods and melting chocolate or butter.

Note: The size and type of cookware used will influence the setting needed for best cooking results.

Users can preheat their ovens or adjust cooking times from their smartphones, providing an added layer of convenience, especially when managing busy schedules.

Cleaning and maintenance are also simplified with self-cleaning options and easy-to-wipe surfaces. The smooth glass cooktop and coated oven interior prevent food from sticking, while the self-clean cycle takes the hassle out of maintaining a spotless oven.

Design-wise, the Kenmore 790 series showcases a sleek and modern look, with a professional stainless steel finish that complements any kitchen decor. Additionally, the spacious storage drawer provides an organized space for pots, pans, and baking sheets.

In summary, the Kenmore 790.99013, 790.99019, and 790.99014 range models bring together advanced technologies, user-centric features, and elegant design. With their induction cooking, convection baking, smart controls, and efficient cleaning options, these ranges are an excellent addition to any modern kitchen.
