Setting Surface Controls
The available ESEC Window Display Settings
The ESEC control will display heat levels ranging from Hi (Figure 1) to Lo
(Figure 6) and OFF (Figure 7). The settings between 9.0 (Figure 2) and 3.0
(Figure 3) decrease or increase in increment of .5 (1/2). The settings
between 3.0 (Figures 3 & 4) and 1.0 (Figure 5) are Simmer settings which
decrease or increase in increment of .2 (1/5) to Lo (Figure 6; 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.
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; 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.
