Operating the Dual Surface Radiant Eiement
The cooktop is equipped with a dual radiant surface element
located at the right front (See Fig. 4) position. Symbols on the
control panel are used to indicate which coil of the dual radiant
eiement will heat. The • symbol indicates that only the inner
coil will heat (Figs. 1 and 3). The (g) symbol indicates that
both inner and outer coils will heat (Figs. 4 and 6). You may
switch from either coil setting 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 (See Fig. 2) for smaller
cookware or clockwise (See Fig. 5) for larger cookware.
3. Use the ESEC digital display window for the desired
setting. 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
HE message will appear after turning the control knob to
OFF if the cooktop is stili hot and will remain on until the
radiant heating surface area has cooled sufficiently.
Note; See page 8. Figure 5 for recommended control settings.
i^CAUTION 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.

Operating the Bridge Surface Radiant Element
The cooktop is equipped with a “BRIDGE” surface element
located at the left front and middle (See Fig. 10) positions. The
Bridge can be used when cooking with rectangular (like a
griddle) or oval shaped cookware (Fig. 10). The eiement 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 Fig. 8).

Bridge element operation symbols are located on the control
panel on each side of the Bridge element control knob. These
symbols indicate the direction to turn the control knob when
operating the Bridge element. The symbol in Figure 7 indicates
that only the single portion of the Bridge element will heat (Fig.
8). The symbol in Figure 9 indicates that both the single and
Bridge portions of the element will heat together (Fig. 10). You
may switch from either of these settings at any time during
cooking with the Bridge element.
