1. Place correctly sized cookware on the Bridge surface element. Fig. 3
2. Push in and turn the control knob counterclockwise (See Fig. 3 and
Fig. 5) to heat the portion of the Bridge element for normal shaped
cookware or clockwise (See Fig. 4 and Fig. 6) for larger or rectangular

knob to adjust the setting ifneeded. 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 istoo 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 will 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. 7).
