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.

3.Use the ESEC digital display window for the desired setting. Turn (do not push) 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. The HE message will appear in the display after turning the control knob to OFF if the cooktop is still hot and will remain on until the radiant heating surface area has cooled sufficiently.

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).

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.

Surface Cooking

Using 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).	Figure 6

Be sure to follow the recommendations for using cookware as shown in Fig. 7.

Note: The size and type of cookware used will influence the setting needed for best cooking results.
