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.1 ). 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. 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 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. 3). tf any of the surface elements are still
hot during active Lockout, "HE" will appear in the window instead of the "- -" message.
Cooktop Sabbath Day Feature and (Sb) Message
The ESEC will display the Sb messages whenever the Sabbath Day feature is active
(Fig. 5). When activated, the Sabbath Day feature works for both the oven and cooktop
together. Once the Sabbath Day feature is active, changes to the heat levels for the
cooktop elements will not show in the displays. The cooktop will react with a random
delay. To set the Sabbath Day feature see the complete instructions on page 28.
