Setting Surface Controls
The Electronic Surface Element Control (ESEC)
The Electronic Surface Element Control ("ESEC") feature provides a digital display
of the radiant surface elements 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.
In addition your range includes shared radiant element touch pad settings. The
double radiant element settings are also shown in the ESEC display windows.
The available ESEC Window Display Settings
The ESEC control will display heat levels ranging from Hi (Figure 1) to Lo (Figure
5) and OFF (Figure 6) that will display in the ESEC windows. The settings
between 9.0 (Figure 2) and 3.0 (Figure 3) decrease or increase in increments of .5
(1/2). The settings between 3.0 (Figure 3) and 1.2 (Figure 4) are Simmer settings
which decrease or increase in increments of .2 to Lo (Figure 5; lowest Simmer
setting) for more precise settings at lower heat levels. Use the Recommended
Surface Settings (See table on next page) to determine the correct setting for the
kind of food you are preparing.
ESEC Lockout Feature ( - - )
The ESEC feature will not operate during a Self-Clean cycle or when the Cooktop
Lockout feature is active. Whenever the Cooktop Lockout feature is active, " - - "
will appear in every display window (See Figure 7).
Hot Element Indicator Message (HE)
After using any of the single or dual radiant element positions the cooktop will become
very hot. Even after turning the control 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; See Fig. 8) warning when the cooktop is still too
hot to touch. If the HE message appears in the window, the control can still be turned ON again for use.
Pan Detection Feature
The pan sensing "Sensa Cook" key will activate / deactivate the pan sensing and dual element pan sizing feature. When
the Pan Sensing feature is on, the pan sensing LED is "ON" and the elements can be activated only when metallic
cookware is loaded on the cooking zone. When the cooking zone is not loaded with a pan, the seven segment display
will flashes the power level setting. When a pan is present, the seven segments display will indicates steadily the select
power level.
When the Pan Sensing feature is activated, the element size keys will be disable for all dual elements cooking zones, the pan
sensing system detecting automatically the pot size.
When a pan is removed from the cooktop and the element is "ON", it will stop heating and the display will flash. If the pan
is not put back within 1 minute, the cooktop will beep once. After 5 minutes, the unused cooking zone will shut off if the
pan was not put back on the element.
When the pan sensing feature is not activated, the pan sensing LED is "Off" and the elements produce heat with or
without a metallic cookware load on the cooking zone.
