Operating the Bridge Surface Radiant Element

The range is equipped with a “BRiDGE” surface element iocated at the

left front and middle {See Figure 6) positions. The Bridge can be used

when cooking with rectanguiar (like a griddle) or oval shaped cookware.

The element will maintain an even temperature setting across both

portions of the Bridge. If needed for normal cookware, the

Bridge element can work like a single element without the

Bridge (See Figure 3).

Bridge element operation symbols are located on the control

panel on each side of the Bridge element control knob.

These symbols indicate the direction to turn the control knob

when operating the Bridge element. The symbol in Figure 1

indicates that only the single portion of the Bridge element

will heat (Figure 3). The symbol in Figure 4 indicates that

both the single and Bridge portions of the element will heat

together (Figure 6). You may switch from either of these

settings at any time during cooking with the Bridge element.

To Operate the Bridge Surface Element

1. Place correctly sized cookware on the Bridge surface

element.

Push in and turn the control knob counterclockwise (See

Figures 2 and 3) to heat the portion of the Bridge

element for normal shaped cookware or clockwise (See

Figures 5 and 6) for larger or rectangular shaped cookware.

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. Note: The specific Hot Surface Indicator light for the element will come on when the control knob is

turned on. The light will continue to glow until the glass cooktop is cool enough to touch. The light may remain on

even though the controls are turned OFF.

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

Figure 7). Note: See page 7, Figure 2 for recommended control settings.

A CAUTION

Radiant surface elements may appear to have cooled after they have been turned off. A hot surface

indicator light will come on and will continue to glow until the glass cooktop has cooled down to a moderate level. The

glass surface may still be hot and burns may occur if the glass surface is touched before the indicator light has turned

off.

Figure 7

Indicator Lights

Two different surface control lights will glow on your range: Surface Indicator Lights and Hot Surface Indicator Lights.

• The surface indicator lights, located on the control panel, glow when any surface unit is turned on. A quick glance at

the lights after cooking is an easy check to be sure all surface controls are turned off.

• The hot surface indicators lights, located under the glass cooktop, will come on as the surface cooking area heats

up and will continue to glow until the glass cooktop has cooled down to a moderate level. The lights may remain on even

though the controls are turned to OFF.
