Setting Surface Controls
FEATURE OVERVIEW
Operating the Bridge Radiant Element Surface Control (cont'd)
Figure 1 | Figure 3 |
Figure 2 | Figure 4 |
To Operate the Bridge Surface Element:
1.Place correctly sized cookware on the Bridge surface element.
2.Push in and turn the control knob counterclockwise (See Figs. 1 and 2) to heat the portion of the Bridge element for normal shaped cookware or clockwise (See Figs. 3 and 4) for larger or rectangular shaped cookware.
. Use the ESEC digital display window for the desired setting. 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.
When cooking has completed, turn the surface control knob to OFF before removing the cookware. The HE message wilt appear in the display after turning the control knob to OFF if the cooktop is still hot and will remain on until the radiant heating surface area has cooled sufficiently.
The BRIDGE element may also be used in combination with the left rear single element. 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 (See Fig. 5).
Note: See page 8, Figure 5 for recommended control 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.

Surface Cooking
FEATURE OVERVIEW
Using the Proper Cookware Cookware should have flat bottoms that make good contact with the entire surface heating element. Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the cookware (See Fig. 6).Be
sure to follow the recommendations forFigure 6 using cookware as shown in Fig. 7.
Note: The size and type of cookware used will influence the setting needed for best cooking results.
Deep fat frying - Use a thermometer and adjust the surface control knob accordingly. If the fat is too cool, the food will absorb the fat and be greasy. If the fat is too hot, the food will brown so quickly that the center will be undercooked. Do not attempt to deep fat fry too much food at once as the food will neither brown nor cook properly.
