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.

To Operate the Bridge Surface Element:
1. Place correctly sized cookware on the radiant surface element.
2. Touch and hold the pad for the Bridge element position until a
beep is heard. The display will show " - -". Note: If no further pads are
touched within 10 seconds the request to power the element ON will
clear.
Select the FRONT (See Figure 2), +BRIDGE (See Figure 3) or ALL 3
elements (See Figure 4) to heat by pressing the pad once, twice or
three times (Figures 4 & 5 shows indicator lights with ALL 3 elements
selected).
Touch HI pad once to turn ON the power level to HI. Touch Lo
(PP) pad once for Lo (See Figure 5). The Hot Surface indicator light
will turn ON when the element becomes hot.
Each touch of the HI (P\) or
L
o
(2)
pad will increase or decrease
power levels from 9.5 through 3.0 by .5 increments. Simmer power levels
between 3.0 and 1.2 will decrease or increase by .2 increments. Lo is the
lowest power level available. Note: The power level may be adjusted at
any time while the element is ON.
When cooking has been completed touch the pad once to turn the
entire element OFF.
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 forth© 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.

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.
A CAUTION 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.
