ESEC Hot Element Indicator Message (HE)

After using any of the single, dual or Bridge radiant element positions the cooktop will become very hot. Even after turning the control knob to OFF, the cooktop will remain hot for some time. The ESEC control monitors the temperature of the cooktop and displays the message "HE" (hot element) warning when the cooktop is still too hot to touch (See Fig.l). If the HE message appears in the window, the control can still be turned on again for use.

ESEC Error Indicator Message (Er)
An error message will be displayed (flashing "Er') at power up (or after a power failure) if ANY	Figure 1

of the surface control knobs were left in the ON positions. If a power failure should occur, be

sure to set all of the 4 surface control knobs to the OFF position (See Fig. 2). This will reset the surface controls.

Be sure to reset the clock (See page 16). Once the surface controls have been set to the OFF positions and the clock has been set with the correct time of day, the surface controls should return to normal operation. If the surface controls do not funcfion and the "Er"

message remains in any display after following these procedures, contact Sears Service for assistance.

ESEC Lockout Feature			( - - )
The self-clean feature will not operate whenever a radiant surface element is ON. The ESEC
feature will not operate during a self-clean cycle or when the Oven Lockout feature is active.
Whenever the ESEC Lockout feature is active, "- -" may appear in any display window (See
Fig. 3). If any of the		surface elements are still hot during active Lockout, "HE" wilt appear in			.....
the window instead of the "- -" message.
Operating	Single	Radiant	Surface	Elements
The cooktop has single radiant surface elements at 2 locations; the right rear (Fig. 5) and left
rear	(Fig. 6) element	positions.	The BRIDGE	element position can also be used as a single	Figure 3
element (See Bridge Element Operating Instructions on pages 10-11).

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 using the ESEC digital display window for the desired setting (Fig. 4). 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 iiiiiiiiiiiiii iliiii! ! !i!iii! 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 HE message will appear after turning the control knob to OFF if the cooktop is still hot and will remain on until the heating surface area has cooled sufficiently.
