How to Set
Push the knob in and turn in either
direction to the setting you want.

into position. You may hear slight clicking
sounds during cooking, indicating the
control is keeping the power level you
set.

cooktop, will glow when any radiant
element is turned on. It will remain
on until the surface is cooled to
approximately 150°F (66°C).

Using the Warming Zone
The WARMING ZONE, located in the
center of the glass cooktop surface,
will keep hot, cooked food at serving
temperature. Always start with hot food.
Do not use to heat cold food. Placing
uncooked or cold food on the WARMING
ZONE could result in food-borne illness.
Touch the WARMING ZONE pad.
Touch the number pads 1, 2 or 3
to select low (1), medium (2) or
high (3) warming setting.
Touch the START pad.
To turn the WARMING ZONE off, touch
the WARMING ZONE pad until WARMER
disappears from the display.
For best results, all foods on the
WARMING ZONE should be covered with
a lid or aluminum foil. When warming
pastries or breads, the cover should be
vented to allow moisture to escape.
Using the Bridge Surface Unit
To use the bridge surface unit, turn the
left front control knob to the BRIDGE
settings.
For full bridge surface unit operation,
also turn on the left rear surface unit.
To use only the front surface unit, turn
the control knob to the FRONT settings.
I glow until the unit is cooled to approximately
150°F (66°C).
