"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.
ESEC error
indicator
message
(Er)
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.

Type of Cooking
Start most foods; bring water to a boil
and pan broiling.
Continue a rapid boil; frying, deep fat
frying.
Maintain a slow boil; thicken sauces
and gravies; steaming vegetables.
Keep foods cooking; poaching and
stewing.
Keep warm, melting and simmering.
NOTE
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 fiat.
