The electronic surface element control
(esec)
The Electronic Surface Element Control ("ESEC") feature
includes 5 digital display windows. The ESEC feature provides
a numeric digital setting for the 5 radiant 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 4).
The available ESEC Display Settings
The ESEC control provides various heat levels from Hi (Fig. 2)
to Lo (Fig. 4) and OFF (Fig. 1). The settings between 9.5 and
3.0 decrease or increase in increments of .5 (1/2). The settings
between 3.0 and 1.2 are Simmer settings which decrease or
increase in increments of .2 (1/5) to Lo (Figure 4; lowest
Simmer setting) for more precise settings at lower heat levels.
Use the Recommended Surface Setting Chart to determine the
correct setting for the kind of food you are preparing.
ESEC Power Failure Indicator Message (PF)
When the range is first plugged in or when the power supply to the range has been interrupted, the ESEC
control will display the message "PF" (Power Failure; See Fig. 5). After a few seconds the "PF" message
will disappear from the display.
ESEC Hot Element Indicator Message (HE)
After using any of the single, dual or triple 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. 6). 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 (glowing "Er") at power up (or after a power failure) if ANY of the surface
control knobs were left in the ON positions (See Fig. 7). 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.
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 "Er" message remains in any display after following
these procedures, contact your authorized servicer for assistance.
