ESEC Hot Element Indicator Message (HE)
After using any of the surface 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. 2). 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
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. 3). This will reset
the surface controls.
Be sure to reset the clock. 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 function and the “
Er
” message remains in any display
after following these procedures, contact an authorized servicer for assistance.
ESEC Lockout Feature ( - - )
The Self-Clean feature will not operate whenever a radiant surface element is ON. Conversely
the ESEC feature will not operate during the Self-Clean cycle. Whenever the ESEC Lockout
feature is active, “
- -
” may appear in any display window (See Fig. 4). If any of the surface
elements are still hot during active Lockout, “
HE
” will appear in the window instead of the “
- -
” message.
The Single Radiant Elements
To Operate the Single 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. 5). Turn (do not push) 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
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.
Note:
Fig. 1 for recommended control settings.
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.
