the electronic surface element
control
The Electronic Surface Element Control includes digital display
windows. The control provides a numeric digital setting for the
surface element positions on the cooktop. These settings work
the same way as normal knob setting indicators work except
the settings are displayed in digital windows (Figs. 1 thru 8).
The available Display Settings
The control provides various heat levels from Hi (Fig. 2) to lo
(Fig. 4) and OFF (Fig. 1). The settings between 9.5 and 1.5
decrease or increase in increments of .5 (1/2).
Hot element indicator message (He)
After using any of the 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 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. 5). If the He message appears in the window, the
control can still be turned ON again for use.
Power Boost indicator message (Pb)
When an induction zone is first set at Hi, the Power Boost
feature will turn on (see Fig. 6). The Power Boost feature
is used to bring large quantities of water or food to cooking
temperature at the fastest speed possible. The Power Boost
feature will give you up to 139% power output for a set
amount of time (approx. 10 min).
error indicator message (c)
An error message will be displayed (glowing "c") 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 surface control knobs to the
OFF position. This will reset the surface controls.
The induction zones are equipped with a pot detection
system. If the controls are activated and the detection
system cannot find any pot on the zone, it will flash its
power level for 3 minutes. After flashing for 3 minutes, the
digital display will show an "c" message.
Once the surface controls have been set to the OFF positions,
the surface controls should return to normal operation. If
the surface controls do not function and the "c" message
remains in any display after following these procedures,
contact your authorized servicer for assistance.
