Setting Surface Controls (cont'd)
Operating the Bridge Surface Element
The cooktop is equipped with a "BRIDGE" surface element located at the left cooktop position (See Figure 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 (Figure 2) and when selected with the +BRIDGE element (Figure 3) it will provide a combination of 2 heating surfaces. When set for ALL the left rear element is added for a total combination of 3 even heating surfaces (See Figure 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 and left rear elements may be used as a single element.

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. 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 9 for recommended surface cooking settings.
Note: If you bridge all three elements, any previous power level setting for the LEFT REAR element will be changed to the power level setting for the Bridge.
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.
