The electronic
surface element control (ESEC)
The Electronic Surface Element Control ("ESEC") feature includes
digital display windows. The ESEC feature provides a numeric digital
setting for the 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. 2 thru 5).
Radiant
surface elements may appear
to have cooled after they have
been turned off. A hot surface
indicator light will come on
and will continue to glow until
the glass cooktop has cooled
down to a moderate level. The
glass surface
may still be
hot and burns may occur if
the glass surface is touched
before the indicator light has
turned off.
