The Electronic Surface Element Control (Esec) - Electrolux E30EC65ESS - 30 Inch Smoothtop Electric Cooktop Use And Care Manual

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.
Note: The size and type of cookware used will influence the setting
needed for best cooking results.
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.
