Operation
Radiant Elements	This type of electric element uses a wire ribbon located under the ceramic glass
	surface to provide the heat for cooking. There are an infinite number of heat set-
	tings between the LO and HI positions. Detents (fixed positions) are found at LO
	and HI to define minimum and maximum heat settings. Radiant elements will
	cycle on and off by design. (See Temperature Limiters, below.)

Dual Elements	The dual element consists of two radiant ribbon elements within the same heating
	area. Either the small inner element or both the inner and outer elements may be
	selected for use. There are detents at LO and HI with infinite settings between.
	To turn ON the small, inner element, push down on the control knob and turn it
	counterclockwise following the single line graphic.
	To turn ON both inner and outer elements together, push down on the control
	knob and turn it clockwise following the double line graphic.

The Bridge element consists of 3 separate elements that can be operated in 2 different ways:

•Use of either one or both of the circular elements independently.

•Use of both circular elements plus the Bridge element simultaneously with a single control.

When all 3 elements are used, it creates an oblong heating area. This oblong shape is ideal for griddles, open roasters and poachers. Pans should have a flat bottom and match the bridge cooking area as closely as possible.
