Display Window Messages (ESEC)
The Electronic Surface Element Control ("ESEC") feature provides a digital display of the settings for the induction cooking
zones on the cooktop. The ESEC displays in combination with the touch pads are designed to replace the conventional
control knob and power level tick mark indicators.
Please note: Unlike standard ceramic cooktops, induction cooktops do not heat
and will not glow read when active. Only the pan heats. Also, induction cooking
zones cannot be turned on without a properly placed pan made of magnetic material
such as steel or cast iron. This feature helps reduce accidental "turn-ons".
Cooking Zone ON/OFF Pad- Each of the four Cooking Zones have separate ON/
OFF key pads. Touch the corresponding Cooking Zone ON/OFF key pad once to
active the Cooking Zone needed. _ - - " will appear in the LED display (Fig 1). If
the corresponding UP/DOWN Arrow key pad is not touched within 5 seconds, the
request to turn the Cooking Zone ON will cancel.
To set a Cooking Zone power level, touch the corresponding Cooking Zone UP or
DOWN Arrow key pad once. To turn OFF a Cooking Zone, touch the Cooking Zone
ON/OFF key pad once.
PowerLevel Settinqs- Once activated, the Cooking Zones will provide 23 Power
Levels to choose from. These include Lo (Fig. 2), 1.2, 1.4, 1.6, 1.8, 2.0, 2.2, 2.4,
2.6, 2.8, 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, 4.5, 5.0, 5.5, 6.0, 6.5, 7.0, 8.0, 9.0, Hi and Pb (See Fig. 5).

The highest setting of Pb (Power Boost) provides the maximum power level for up
to 10 minutes (See Fig. 5). After 10 minutes, the cooking zone will automatically
lower to the Hi setting. The Power Boost setting is only available immediately after
activating a cooking zone and by pressing Q.
Hot Surface Indicator Message Lights
After using any of the cooking zone positions the glass surface may be hot from
residual heat transferred from the cookware and burns may occur. After turning any of
these elements OFF, the cooktop will remain HOT for some time. A sensor monitors
the temperature for the 4 positions on the cooktop. The "Hot Surface" indicator (Fig.
6), located on the backguard, will glow whenever one of the cooking zones becomes
too HOT to touch. The Hot Surface indicator light will remain ON while hot and turn
OFF once the cooktop has cooled sufficiently (Fig. 7).
The Cooking Zones may appear to be cool while turned ON and after
they have been turned OFF. The induction cooking zones will not turn red when they
are on. The glass surface may be HOT from residual heat transfered from the
cookware and burns may occur.
Sabbath Day Feature and (- =) Message
The displays will show the "= =" messages whenever the Sabbath Day feature is
active (Fig. 8). When activated, the Sabbath Day Feature works for the oven only.
Please note: the induction cooktop will not work when the oven is in Sabbath mode.
To set the Sabbath Day feature for the oven, see "Setting the Sabbath Day Feature"
