Operating the Bridge Surface Radiant Element (some models)
The "Bridge" surface element islocatedatthe left 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. ifneeded for normal cookware, the Bridge element can
work likea single element without the Bridge.
Bridge element operation symbols are located on the control panel on each side
of the Bridge element control knob. These symbols indicatethe direction to turn
the control knob when operating the Bridge element. The symbol 0 indicates
that only the single portion of the Bridge element will heat (see figure 2). The
symbol _ indicatesthat both the single and Bridge portions of the element will
heat together (see figure 4).You may switch from either of these settings at any
time during cooking with the Bridge element.
