FEATURE OVERVIEW
• ESEC Hot Eiement Indicator Message (HE)
• ESEC Flashing Error Message (Er)
• ESEC Lockout Feature (- -)
• Operating Single Surface Radiant Elements
Setting Surface Controls ACAUTION
Radiant surface elements
may appear to have cooled after they
have been turned off.
The glass surface
may still be hot and burns may occur if
the glass surface is touched before it
has cooled sufficiently.
ESEC Hot Element Indicator Message (HE)
After using any of the single, dual or Bridge 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 (See Fig.1). If
the HE message appears in the window, the control can still be turned on again for use.
ESEC Error Indicator Message (Er)
An error message will be displayed (flashing “Er") at power up (or after a power failure) if ANY
of the surface control knobs were left in the ON positions. If a power failure should occur, be
sure to set ail of the 4 surface control knobs to the OFF position (See Fig. 2). This will reset
the surface controls.
Be sure to reset the clock (See page 16). Once the surface controls have been set to the
OFF positions and the clock has been set with the correct time of day, 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
Sears Service for
assistance.
ESEC Lockout Feature (- -)
The seif-clean feature will not operate whenever a radiant surface element is ON. The ESEC
feature will not operate during a self-clean cycle or when the Oven Lockout feature is active.
Whenever the ESEC Lockout feature is active, “ - - ” may appear in any display window (See
Fig. 3). If any of the surface elements are still hot during active Lockout, “HE” will appear in
the window instead of the “ - - ” message.
Operating Single Radiant Surface Eiements
The cooktop has single radiant surface elements at 2 locations; the right rear (Fig. 5) and left
rear (Fig. 6) element positions. The BRIDGE element position can also be used as a single
element (See Bridge Eiement Operating Instructions on pages 10-11).
To Operate the Single Surface Elements:
1. Place correctly sized cookware on the radiant surface
element. ...... ... ..................................
2. Push in and turn the surface control knob in either direction
to the desired setting using the ESEC digital display
window for the desired setting (Fig. 4). Turn the knob to
adjust the setting if desired. Start most cooking operations
on a higher setting and then turn to a lower setting to finish
cooking. Each surface element provides a constant
amount of heat at each setting. A glowing red surface
heating area extending beyond the bottom edge of the
cookware indicates the cookware is
too small for the
surface heating area.
3. When cooking has completed, turn the surface control
knob to OFF before removing the cookware. Note: The HE
message will appear after turning the control knob to
OFF
if the cooktop is still hot and will remain on until the heating
surface area has cooled sufficiently.
Note: See page 8, Figure 5 for recommended control settings.
