Note: The size and type of cookware used will inﬂ uence the setting needed for best cooking results.

The Simmer settings are used to simmer and keep larger quantities of foods warm such as stews and

soups. The lower Simmer settings are ideal for delicate foods and melting chocolate or butter.

Setting Surface Controls (cont’d)

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 display in combination with

the touch pads is designed to replace conventional control knobs.

The available ESEC Window Display Settings

The ESEC control will display heat levels ranging from Hi (Fig. 1) to Lo (Fig. 6) and

OFF (Fig. 8). The settings between 9.5(Fig. 2) and 3.0 (Fig. 3) decrease or increase

in increments of .5. The settings between 3.0 (Figure 3) and 1.2 (Fig. 5) are Simmer

settings which decrease or increase in increments of .2 to Lo (Fig. 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 Surface Indicators

After using any of the radiant element positions the cooktop will become very hot.

After turning any of these elements OFF, the cooktop will remain HOT for some time.

"HE" (hot element) will appear in the element power level display while the element

is still hot. The HE indicator (See Fig. 7) will remain in the display until the element

has cooled suﬃ ciently.
