SETTING RADIANT SURFACE CONTROLS

Bridge surface radiant element

The cooktop is equipped with a “BRIDGE” surface element located at the left front and middle (Fig. 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 (Fig. 4). The symbol indicates that only the front potion will heat (Fig. 2). The symbol indicates that both front and middle portions will heat (Fig. 3). You may switch from either coil setting 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. 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.

3.When cooking has completed, turn the surface control knob to OFF before removing the cookware.

The BRIDGE element may also be used in combination with the left rear single element (Fig. 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.

CAUTION

Do not place plastic items such as salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on cooktop 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.

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.

NOTE

The surface “Element On” indicator lights will glow when one or more elements are turned on. A quick glance at these indicator lights when cooking is finished is an easy check to be sure all surface elements are turned off.

CAUTION

Radiant surface elements may appear to have cooled after they have been turned OFF. HE (Hot Element) message will turn ON and will continue to glow until the glass cooktop has cooled down to a moderate level. The glass surface may still be hot and burns may occur if the glass surface is touched before the indicator light has turned OFF. The message may remain on even though the controls are turned OFF.
