The cooktop of your appliance is equipped with a "BRIDGE" 
surface element located at the left front and middle posi-
tions. The Bridge can be used when cooking with rectan-
gular (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 

). The circle symbol indicates that 

only the front potion will heat (See

). The bridge 

symbol indicates that both front and middle portions will 
heat (See 

). You may switch from either coil 

setting at any time during cooking.

1. Place correctly sized cookware on the dual surface 

element.

2. Push in and turn the control knob as shown in 

 

to heat the front portion of the Bridge element for 
normal shaped cookware or 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.

3. When cooking has completed, turn the surface control 

knob to OFF before removing the cookware.

The BRIDGE element may also be used in combination 
with the left rear single element (See 

). When 

using with the bridge, both controls should be set at the 
same level. Because these elements have two different 
controls, one element can be used to cook while the other 
element may be used to keep food warm.

Radiant surface elements may appear to have cooled 
after they have been turned off. HE (Hot Element) 
message will turn 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. The message may remain on even though 
the controls are turned OFF.

Do not place 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.

Do not allow aluminum foil, empty glass/porcelain 
cookware or any material that can melt to make contact 
with the ceramic cooktop. If these items melt on the 
cooktop they may damage the ceramic cooktop.

The surface "Element On" indicator lights will glow when 
one or more elements are turned on. A quick glance at 
these indicator lights when cooking is finished is an easy 
check to be sure all surface elements are turned off.
