the Bridge
Surface Element
The cooktop is equipped with a "BRIDGE" surface element located at the
left cooktop position (See Fig. 1). Indicator lights on the control panel are
used to indicate what portions of the Bridge element will heat. The Bridge
element begins with the left FRONT position only (Fig. 2) and when
selected with the +BRIDGE element (Fig. 3) it will provide a combination
of 2 heating surfaces. When set for ALL 3 element positions the left rear
element is added for a total combination of 3 even heating surfaces (See
Fig. 4).
The Bridge element is designed for rectangular or oval shaped cookware.
The griddle that is supplied with this appliance should
be used with the
Bridge element ONLY. For round shaped cookware, the left front
element may be used as a single element.

NOTE: If all 3 Bridge elements are
selected, any previous power level
setting for the LEFT REAR element
will be changed to the power level
setting for the Bridge.
Note: The Hot Surface indicator light will remain ON if the cooktop is still hot and will remain ON until the heating
surface area has cooled sufficiently. If no element size is chosen when the Bridge element is turned ON, the control will
default to the left front element only. See page 11, Fig. 1 for recommended
surface cooking settings.
Radiant surface elements may appear to have cooled after they have been turned off. The glass surface
may still be hot and burns may occur if the glass surface is touched before it has cooled sufficiently.
Do not place aluminum
foil or plastic items such as salt and pepper shakers,
spoon holders or
plastic wrappings
on top of the range when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or
wooden spoons could catch fire if placed too close to the surface elements.
