To Operate the Bridge Surface Element:
1. Place correctly sized cookware on the Bridge surface
element.
2.
Push in and turn the control knob counterclockwise (See
Figs. 1 and 2) to heat the portion of the Bridge element for
normal shaped cookware or clockwise (See Figs. 3 and 4)
for larger or rectangular shaped cookware.
.
Turn the knob to adjust the setting if needed. Start most
cooking operations on a higher setting and then turn to a
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 tee
small. Please note that not all cookware will fit the Bridge
element correctly.

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
wilt be turn 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 left rear single element. Because these elements have 2
different controls, one element can be used to cook while the
other element may be used to keep food warm (See Fig. 5).
Figure 5 Note: See page 8, Figure 1 for recommended control settings.
Radiant surface elements may appear to have cooled after they have been turned off. A hot surface
indicator light wilt come on and will continue to glow until the glass cooktop has cooled down to a moderate level. The
glass surface may still be hot and burns may occur if the glass surface is touched before the indicator light has turned
off.
Surface Cooking
FEATURE OVERVIEW
• Using the Proper Cookware
Cookware should have flat bottoms
that make good contact with the entire
surface heating element. Check for
flatness by rotating a ruler across the
bottom of the cookware (See Fig. 6).Be
sure to follow the recommendations for
using cookware as shown in Fig. 7.
Figure 6
Note: The size and type of cookware used will influence the
setting needed for best cooking results.
Deep fat frying - Use a thermometer and adjust the surface
control knob accordingly. If the fat is too cool, the food will absorb
the fat and be greasy. If the fat is too hot, the food will brown so
quickly that the center will be undercooked. Do not attempt to
deep fat fry too much food at once as the food will neither brown
nor cook properly. 10
