SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
Bridge Radiant Element (some models)
Some models include a bridge element for long cookware
(such as a griddle, see
Figure 11) to extend across two
circular surface elements. Symbols around the knob are
used to indicate whether the single element or the single
element and bridge element will heat.
• The symbol indicates that only the front circular
element will heat.
• The symbol indicates that the front element and the
bridge element will both heat.
You may switch the element setting at any time during
cooking.
To Operate the Bridge Element
1. Place correctly sized cookware (griddle) on the cooktop
with the bridge element under the middle.
2. Push in and turn the control knob to the circular element
symbol for regular cookware or to element and bridge
symbol for extended cookware designed for use on
multiple elements (see
Figure 10).
3. Allow the griddle to heat for a few minutes when
cooking items that require a preheated surface such as
pancakes and eggs. The two elements will work
together with the bridge element to provide even
heating.
4. When cooking has completed, turn the surface control
knob to OFF before removing the 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.
A glowing red surface heating area extending beyond the
bottom edge of the cookware indicates the cookware is too
small for the surface heating area.
NOTES
The bridge element knob controls one element and the
bridge element. It does not control the adjacent single
element. The adjacent element must be adjusted with its
own knob.
See
“Suggested radiant surface element settings” on
page 15.
Figure 10: Bridge element knob settings
NEVER place or straddle a cooking utensil over two
different surface cooking areas at the same time unless
the cooktop has a bridge element and the cookware is
specifically designed for the purpose. Incorrect use may
cause the ceramic cooktop to fracture.
Do not allow aluminum foil or ANY material that can melt
to make contact with the ceramic glass cooktop. If these
items melt on the cooktop, they will damage the ceramic
cooktop.
