SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
Bridge Element
On the left side of the cooktop there are two single burners
with a bridge element between them. When turned on, the
bridge element allows for a larger cooking area by cycling at
the same temperature as the left front element. For the
bridge to be operational, the left front burner must be on.
When the left rear burner is also on the entire left side of the
cooktop can accommodate specialized cookware.
CAUTION
Use only cookware specifically designed for use with the
bridge element.
The bridge is located on the left side of the
cooktop and must be activated in two steps.
To operate the bridge element:
1. Turn on the front and rear controls to the desired level
of heat.
2. Turn the bridge control to the ON position.
Note: The heat level of the bridge element is regulated by
the heat setting of the front control and will cycle on and off
with the front element.
3. Be sure to turn the bridge control to the off position
when finished cooking.

CAUTION
Radiant surface elements may appear to have cooled
after they have been turned off. The hot surface indicator
light will turn on and will continue to glow until the glass
cooktop has cooled down to a moderate level. The glass
surface may still be hot and burns may occur if the glass
surface is touched before the indicator light has turned
off. The message may remain on even though the
controls are turned off.
