Induction Cooking Zones

Cooktop Display Windows

The range backguard provides a digital window for each of the 
cooking zones located on the cooktop. Power levels and 
messages are easily monitored and controlled using the window 
displays in combination with the corresponding control knobs.

Available Power Level Settings

The cooktop control (

Figure 10

) will display power levels ranging 

from Pb (

Figure 11

), Hi (

Figure 15

) to Lo (

Figure 12

).

The settings between 9.5 (

Figure 16

) and 1.5 (

Figure 17

) decrease 

and increase in 0.5 increments.

Use 

Table 1

 to determine the correct power level setting for the 

type of food you are preparing.

Power Boost Power Level (Pb)

When setting an induction cooking zone for the highest setting 
(to the POWER BOOST position), the display will initially show 
Pb (Power Boost) power level for up to 10 minutes. After 10 
minutes, the cooking zone will automatically return to the Hi 
setting (

Figure 15

). The Pb setting is only available immediately 

after activating a cooking zone by turning the knob to the 
highest setting (to the POWER BOOST position).

Hot Surface Window Message (HE)

After using an induction cooking zone, the cooktop may become 
very hot. After turning any cooking zone off, the cooktop may 
remain hot for some time. The corresponding Hot Element (HE) 
message will remain on until the cooktop has cooled (

Figure 14

).

ESEC Error Indicator Message (Er)

An error message will be displayed (flashing Er) (

Figure 13

) 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 all of the four surface control knobs to the 
OFF position. This will reset the surface controls.

Be sure to reset the clock by referring to the 

“Setting Clock” 

 

heading on 

page 19

. 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 opera-
tion. If the surface controls do not function and the Er message 
remains in any display after following these procedures, contact 
an authorized servicer for assistance.

Lockout Window Message (- -)

The (- -) message will appear whenever the  Lockout, Self-clean 
or Sabbath feature is active (

Figure 18

). Refer to the 

“Setting 

Oven Lockout” 

heading on 

page 21

 for more details.

Important: 

The induction cooking zones will not operate when the oven is 
set for Sabbath mode. For more details on the Sabbath feature, 
see the 

“Setting the Sabbath Feature” 

on 

page 28
