The cooktop is equipped with a "Bridge" surface element located at the center front and
middle 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.
Bridge element operation symbols are located on the Bridge element control knob. These
symbols indicate the direction to turn the control knob when operating the Bridge element.
The symbol _ indicates that only the single portion of the Bridge element will heat (see
Figues 1 and 2). The symbol _ indicates that both the single and Bridge portions of the
element will heat together (see Figures 3 and 4). You may switch from either of these
settings at any time during cooking with the Bridge element.
To Operate the Bridge Surface Element:
1. Place correctly sized cookware on the dual surface element.
2. Push in and turn the control knob counterclockwise (see
Figure 2) to heat the portion of the Bridge element for normal
shaped cookware or clockwise (see Figure 4) for larger or
rectangularshaped cookware.
3. Turn the knob to adjust the setting if needed. Start most
cooking operations on a higher setting and then turn to a Figure1
lower setting to finish 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 fit the Bridge element correctly. Figure3
4. When cooking has completed, turn the surface control knob
to OFF before removing the cookware. Note: The Surface
Indicator light will come on when the control knob is turned on
and will continue to glow until the glass cooktop has cooled
down to a moderate level. The light may remain on even
though the controls are turned OFF.

The BRIDGE element may also be used in combination with the
center rear single element (see Figure 5). Because these
element have 2 independent controls, one element, for example, can be used to cook while
the other element may be used to keep food warm.
