Setting Surface Controls
Operating
the Dual Surface
Radiant
Element
The cooktop is equipped with a dual radiant surface element located at the right
front (See Figure 1) position. Words on the control knob are used to indicate
which coil of the dual radiant element will heat (Figure 2). Single indicates that
only the inner coil will heat (Figure 3). Multi indicates that both inner and outer
coils will heat (Figure 4). You may switch between settings at any time during
cooking.
To Operate
the Dual Surface
Element:
1.
Place correctly sized cookware on the dual surface element.
2.
Push in and turn the control knob counterclockwise
for smaller cookware
(See Figure 3) or clockwise for larger cookware (See Figure 4).
3.
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 for the surface heating area.
4.
When cooking
has completed,
turn the surface control
knob to OFF
before removing the cookware.
Note: The Surface indicator light will
come on when the control knob is turned on and will continue to glow until
the glass cooktop has cooled down to a moderate level. The light may
remain on even though the controls are turned OFF.
Note: See the table on previous page for recommended control settings.

Operating
the Bridge
Surface
Radiant
Element
The cooktop is equipped with a "BRIDGE" surface element located at the left
front and middle (See Figure 5) 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 (See Figure 7).
Bridge element operation words are located on each side of the Bridge
element control knob (Figure 2).
These words indicate the direction to turn the control knob when operating the
Bridge element. "Single"
indicates that only the single portion of the Bridge
element will heat (Figure 7). "Multi" indicates that both the single and Bridge
portions of the element will heat together (Figure 8). You may switch between
these settings at any time during cooking with the Bridge element.

the Bridge
Surface
Element
1.
Place correctly sized cookware on the Bridge surface element.
2.
Push in and turn the control knob counterclockwise to heat the portion of the
Bridge element for normal shaped cookware (See Figure 7) or clockwise for
larger or rectangular shaped cookware (See Figure 8).
3.
Turn the knob to adjust the setting if needed. Start most cooking operations
Figure 9
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 istoo small. Please note that not all cookware will fit the Bridge
element correctly.
4.
When cooking has completed,
turn the surface control knob to OFF before removing the cookware. Note: The
Surface Indicator light will come on when the control knob is turned on and will continue to glow until the glass cooktop
has cooled down to a moderate level. 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 (See Figure 9). 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.
