Radiant surface elements may appear to have cooled 

after they have been turned OFF. The hot surface 

indicator light 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 indicator light may 

remain ON even though the controls are turned OFF.

The cooktop is equipped with a “BRIDGE” surface element 

located at the left front and middle (Figure 1) positions. The 

Bridge can be used when cooking with rectangular (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 (Figure 4). 

The   symbol indicates that only the front portion will heat 

(Figures 2 & 4). The   symbol indicates that both front and 

middle portions will heat (Figures 3 & 5). You may switch 

from either coil setting at any time during cooking.
To Operate the Bridge Surface Element

1. Place correctly sized cookware on the Bridge surface 

element.

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

heat the front portion of the Bridge element for normal 

shaped cookware or in Figure 3 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 fi nish 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 fi t 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 (Figure 6). 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.
