Use the chart to determine the correct setting for the 

type of food you are preparing.
Note: The size and type of cookware used will infl uence 

the setting needed for best cooking results.

HIGH (HI)

Start most foods; bring water to a boil 

and pan broiling.

MEDIUM HIGH

(8-10)

Continue a rapid boil; frying, deep fat 

frying.

MEDIUM (6)

Maintain a slow boil; thicken sauces 

and gravies; steaming vegetables.

MEDIUM LOW

(2 - 4)

Keep foods cooking; poaching and 

stewing.

LOW (LO)

Keep warm, melting and simmering.

Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the element 

to cycle on and off, even at the HI setting. This helps to 

prevent damage to the ceramic smooth top. Cycling at 

the HI setting is normal and can occur if the cookware  

is too small for the radiant element or if the cookware 

bottom is not fl at.

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.

The ESEC control provides various heat levels from Hi 

(Figure 2) to Lo (Figure 5) and OFF (Figure 1). The 

settings between 3.0 and 9.5 increase or decrease in 

increments of .5 (1/2). The settings between 1.2 and 

3.0 are Simmer settings which decrease or increase in 

increments of .2 (1/5) to Lo (Figure 5; 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.

When the range is fi rst plugged in or when the power 

supply to the range has been interrupted, the ESEC 

control will display the message "PF" (Power Failure; 

Figure 6). After a few seconds the "PF" message will 

disappear from the display.

After using any of the single or dual 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 (Figure 4). If the HE message appears in the 

window, the control can still be turned ON again for use.

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 (Figure 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.

The ESEC feature will not operate during a Self-Clean 

cycle or when the Lockout feature is active. Whenever 

the Lockout feature is active, “ - - “ will appear in any 

ESEC digital display windows (See Figure 8) to show that 

all surface elements can not be activated.
