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 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.
