SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
Operating the Bridge Surface
Radiant Element
The cooktop is equipped with a "BRIDGE" surface
element located at the left rear and center (See Figures
1 & 2) positions. The Bridge can be used when cooking
with rectangular (like a griddle) or oval shaped cookware.
The element will maintain an even temperature setting
across both portions of the Bridge. If needed for normal
cookware, the Bridge element can work like a single
element without the Bridge (See Figure 5). The single
symbol indicates that only the rear potion will heat (Fig.
3). The bridge symbol indicates that both rear and
middle portions will heat (Fig. 4). You may switch from
either coil setting at any time during cooking.
To Operate the Bridge Surface Element:
1. Place correctly sized cookware on the Bridge surface
element.
2. Push in and turn the control knob as shown in Figure
3 to heat the front portion of the Bridge element for
normal shaped cookware or in Figure 4 for larger or
rectangular shaped cookware.
3. Turn the knob to adjust the setting if needed. Start
most cooking operations on a higher setting and then
turn to a lower setting to fi nish 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. Please note that not all
cookware will fi t the Bridge element correctly.
4. When cooking has completed, turn the surface
control knob to OFF before removing the
cookware.
The BRIDGE element may also be used in combination
with the left front single element (See Figure 7). Because
these elements have 2 different controls, one element
can be used to cook while the other element may be
used to keep food warm.
NOTE
The surface "Element On" indicator lights will glow
when one or more elements are turned on. A quick
glance at these indicator lights when cooking is fi nished
is an easy check to be sure all surface elements are
turned off.
NOTE
