Operating the Bridge Radiant Surface Element Control

Operating the Bridge Surface Element

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 (for example a griddle) or oval shaped cookware. If needed for normal cookware, the left front element may be used as a singe element.

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 wilt remain ON if the cooktop is still hot and wilt 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 wilt default to the left front element only. See page 9, Fig. 1 for recommended surface cooking settings.

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 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.
