Setting Surface Controls (cont'd)
Operating the Bridge Surface Radiant Element
The cooktop is equipped with a "BRIDGE" surface element located at the left
front and middle (See Figures 1) 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. If
needed for normal cookware, the Bridge element can work like a single element
without the Bridge (See Figure 4). "Single" and "Dual" on the control knob are
used to indicate which portion of the bridge element will heat. "Single" indicates
that only the front portion will heat (Figure 2). "Dual" indicates that both inner
and outer coils will heat (Figure 3). You may switch between settings at any time
during cooking.
To Operate the Bridge Surface Element:
1. Place correctly sized cookware on the Bridge surface element.
2. Push in and turn the control knob as shown in Figure 2 to heat the front
portion of the Bridge element for normal shaped cookware or in Figure 3
for larger or rectangular shaped cookware.
3. 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 too small. Please note
that not all cookware will fit the Bridge element correctly.
4. 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 is turned 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 OFE
The BRIDGE element may also be used in combination with the left rear single
element (See Figure 6). 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.

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 or burners.
