SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
Using the bridge element with a griddle (some
models)
A griddle is a versatile accessory that is perfect for cooking
foods that require large flat surfaces such as pancakes,
French toast, grilled sandwiches, bacon, and also for
cooking different foods at the same time.
If your appliance came with a griddle you can use this
accessory to cook by using the bridge control that links the
circular elements. This will provide even heating over the
entire griddle surface when the rear single element is also
activated.
Preheat the griddle for 5 minutes on medium to medium low
setting. Slow preheat ensures even heat distribution during
the cooking process. DO NOT preheat the griddle on HI
setting. Preheating on HI may warp the griddle and prevent
even heat distribution.
After use, let the griddle cool before washing. Hand wash
with hot soapy water. Do not soak. Dry thoroughly. Do not
put a griddle in a dishwasher.
If you would like to purchase a griddle, you can order one
from Frigidaire.com.
Important notes:
• Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and
then turn to a lower setting to finish cooking.
• For efficient cooking, turn the element off several
minutes before cooking is complete. This will allow
residual heat to complete the cooking process.
• The surface control knobs do not have to be set exactly
on a particular spot. Use the graphics provided as a
guide and adjust the control knob as needed. Each
surface element provides a constant amount of heat at
each setting.
Figure 11: Griddle
• The griddle should be placed carefully over the bridge
elements. When the bridge control is activated along
with the rear single element, they combine to heat the
whole surface of the griddle.
• The griddle will be very hot. Always use oven mitts
when handling the griddle during and after cooking.
The griddle may appear to have cooled, but the
residual heat can cause burns. Allow the griddle to
cool for several minutes after the bridge has been
turned off.
CAUTION
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.
• 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 flammable items such as plastic 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.
