Bridge Element Control Knob (some models)
The bridge element joins the front single element and the back single element to
create one long element. It is designed for use with large cookware such as long
griddles and roasters.
1. Turn ON the bridge element and the front small element. Push in on the con-
trol knob and turn clockwise to the desired heat setting.
2. Turn ON the back small element.
3. To use front single element without bridge, turn the knob counterclockwise.

of Your Cooktop
Cooktop Cooking Guide Use this chart as a guide for heat settings. A range of heat settings are listed
because the actual setting depends on:
• type and quality of pan (See “Selecting Cookware”),
• type, quantity and temperature of the food,
• element used and
• the cook’s preference.
The Heat Settings recommended are based on a 240 volt power source. If your
cooktop is connected to 208 volts, the same heat settings apply but foods may
take a little longer to finish cooking.
