Setting Surface Controls (cont'd)
Setting the Bridge Burner
The Bridge Burner should be used with rectangular shaped cookware. Cookware like the cast-
iron Griddle that is supplied with your cooktop is designed specifically for best results with the
Bridge Burner.
The Bridge Burner feature may be used to combine the cooking power of 2 or if needed 3 gas
surface Burners located along the left-hand side of the glass cooktop. The left rear and left
center Burners are controlled by the left rear surface Control Knob. In addition the left front
Burner may be added to the Bridge Burner with the left front gas Control Knob.
Operating the Bridge Burner
1. Push the left rear surface control knob in and turn counterclockwise out of
the OFF position (See Figure 2).
2. Release the knob and rotate to the lITe position (See Figure 2 & 3).
Note: All electronic surface ignitors will spark at the same time. However, only the
selected surface Burner will lite.
3. Visually check that the left rear Burner has lit.
4. Continue to rotate the gas control knob counterclockwise past the first LO
setting to the arrow marked Multi. The left center burner will lite.
5. Visually check that both the left rear and left center Burners are lit. Adjust
the flame size by turning the control knob between the second HI and lO
settings (See Figure 3).
6. Add the left front Burner if needed. Once lit, visually adjust the flame size of
the left front Burner to match the flame size of the Bridge Burner.
7. Place cooking utensil centered over the left-hand cooktop surface Burner
Grate. DO NOT cook with any of the surface control knobs in the LITE
position (The electronic ignitor will continue to spark if the knob is left in the
LITE position).
Note: If only the left rear surface Burner is needed, follow the instructions provided
below.
