Setting Surface Controls (cont'd)
Setting the Bridge Burner (some models)
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 middle 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).
