Use the Size keypad (Fig. 1) to select which portions of
the bridge element are needed for heating. The bridge
element size may be changed anytime the element is ON.
To Operate the Triple
Radiant Elements:
1. Place correctly sized cookware on the bridge radiant
element.
2. To activate press and hold the on-off keypad for the
bridge element until acceptance tone sounds.
3. Set the element size. Press Size keypad once for front
(Fig. 2), twice for front with middle (Fig. 3) or 3 times
for front, middle and rear (Fig. 4).
4. To set power level press hi, meal or Io keypad and if
needed toggle the hi or Io keypads to adjust to the
desired power level setting. Each touch of the hi or
Io key pad will increase or decrease the power level
by 1/2 from 9.0 through 3.0. Simmer power levels
between 3.0 and 1.2 will increase or decrease by .2
increments. Hi (Fig. 5) is the highest power level. Lo
(Fig. 6) is the lowest power level available.
5. Once cooking is finished, press on-off keypad to turn
the triple element OFF (Fig. 7).
Hot Element
Indicator
Hessage
After using any of the radiant element positions the
cooktop will become very hot. Even after setting the
controls to OFF, the cooktop will remain hot for some
time. The cooktop control monitors the temperature
of the cooktop and displays the message "HE" (hot
element) warning when the cooktop is still too hot to
touch. If the HE message appears in the window, the
control can still be turned on again for use.
- 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, 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 €lose to the surface elements: .....................................................................................................................................

Important
notes:
- If all 3 bridge elements are set to be active together
and the left rear element is needed with a different
power level setting, change the bridge size to O or
and then set the left rear power level independently.
- If no element size is chosen when the bridge element
is turned ON, only the front will heat by default.
- Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and
then turn to a lower setting to finish cooking.
- For efficient cooking, turn the surface element OFF
several minutes before cooking is complete. This will
allow residual heat to complete the cooking process.
* A glowing red surface heating area extending beyond
the bottom edge of the cookware indicates the
cookware is too small for the surface heating area.
- Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the radiant
heating element to cycle ON and OFF, even at the HI
setting. This helps prevent damage to the ceramic
cooktop. Cycling at the HI setting is normal and will
occur more often if the cookware is too small for the
radiant element or if the cookware bottom is not flat.
