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 eiement 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 9, 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 Lockout Feature (- -)
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, " - - " will appear in any
display window (See Fig. 10. Also refer to the Oven Lockout instructions on page 19).
ESEC PF message
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 shown in Fig. 11. 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.
A caution 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.
