Operating the Bridge Element (some models)

The cooktop is equipped with a “BRIDGE” surface element located at the left cooktop position (See Fig. 1). Indicator lights on the control panel are used to indicate what portions of the Bridge element will heat. The Bridge element begins with the left FRONT position only (Fig. 2) and when selected with the +BRIDGE element (Fig. 3) it will provide a combination of 2 heating surfaces. When set for ALL 3 element positions the left rear element is added for a total combination of 3 even heating surfaces (See Fig. 4).

The Bridge element is designed for rectangular or oval shaped cookware. The griddle that is supplied with this appliance should be used with the Bridge element ONLY. For round shaped cookware, the left front element may be used as a single element.

To Operate the Bridge Surface Element:

1.Place correctly sized cookware on the radiant surface element.

2.Touch and hold the To Operate the Bridge Surface Element: pad for the Bridge element position until a beep is heard. The display will show " - - ". NOTE: Each time a pad is touched a beep will sound. If no further pads are touched within 10 seconds the request to power the element ON will clear.

3.Select the FRONT (See Fig. 2), +BRIDGE (See Fig. 3) or ALL 3 elements

(See Fig. 4) to heat by pressing the Manual background pad once, twice or three times (Figs. 4 & 5 shows indicator lights with ALL 3 elements selected).

4.Touch the Bridge element Manual background pad once to turn ON the power level Hi or

Manual background pad once for Lo (See Fig. 4). The Hot Surface indicator light will turn ON when the element becomes hot.

5.Each touch of the Manual background or Manual background pad will decrease or increase the power

level by 1/2 from 9.0 through 3.0. Simmer power levels between 3.0 and 1.0 will decrease or increase by .2 increments. Lo is the lowest power level available. Note: The power level may be adjusted at any time while the element is ON.

6.When cooking has been completed touch the Manual background pad once to turn the element OFF.

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 for the surface heating area.

NOTE: If all 3 Bridge elements are selected, any previous power level setting for the LEFT REAR element will be changed to the power level setting for the Bridge.

Note: The Hot Surface indicator light will remain ON if the cooktop is still hot and will remain ON until the heating surface area has cooled sufficiently. If no element size is chosen when the Bridge element is turned ON, the control will default to the left front element only. See page 11, Fig. 1 for recommended surface cooking settings.

Manual background 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.

Manual background Do not place aluminum foil or plastic items such as 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.
