Operating the Regular Burner:
1. Place cooking utensil on surface burner.
2. Push the surface control knob down and turn counterclockwise out of the
OFF position (See Figure 1).
3. Release the knob and rotate to the LITE position.
Note: All four (or five) electronic surface ignitors will spark at the same
time. However, only the burner you are turning on will ignite.
4. Visually check that the burner has a flame.
5. Once the burner is lit, continue to turn counterclockwise to the desired
flame size. The control knobs do not have
to be set at a particular setting. Use the
knob indicator settings to adjust the flame
as needed. DO NOT cook with the surface
control knob in the LITE position (The
electronic ignitor will continue to spark if
the knob is left in the LITE position).
Setting the Bridge Burner
The Bridge Burner should be used with
rectangular shaped cookware. Cookware like
a cast-iron Griddle is designed specifically for
best results with the Bridge Burner.
The Bridge Burner feature may be used to combine the cooking power of 2
or if needed 3 gas surface Burners located along the left-hand side of the
cooktop. The left rear and left center Burners are controlled by the left rear
surface Control Knob. In addition the left front Burner may be added to the
Bridge Burner with the left front gas Control Knob.
Operating the Bridge Burner
1. Push the left rear surface control knob in and turn counterclockwise out
of the OFF position (See Figure).
2. Release the knob and rotate to the LITE position (See Figure). Note: All
electronic surface ignitors will spark at the same time. However, only the
selected surface Burner will lite.
3. Visually check that the left rear Burner has lit.
4. Continue to rotate the gas control knob counterclockwise past the first LO.
5. Visually check that both the left rear and left center Burners are lit.
6 . When both burners are lit, continue to turn the control knob
counterclockwise to adjust to the desired flame size for both burners
together. Note: The markings between the 2nd HI and LO settings on the
left rear control knob before adjusting the flame size for both burners.
7. Add the left front Burner if needed. Once lit, visually adjust the flame size
of the left front Burner to match the flame size of the Bridge Burner.
DO NOT cook with any of the surface control knobs in the LITE position (The
electronic ignitor will continue to spark if the knob is left in the LITE position).
Note: If only the left rear surface Burner is needed, adjust the settings
between the 1st HI and LO.
Note: The left front Burner may be added to the Bridge Burner by setting the
left front gas Control Knob.
