larger volumes increases as the element wattage increases.
The radiant surface elements are located on the cooktop as
follows (See Figure):
- 2 smaller 6 inch radiant elements located at the right and left
rear positions;
-2 dual 6 or 9 inch radiant elements located at the right and
left front positions;
-2 7 inch radiant elements located at both the center front
and rear position;
- one Bridge radiant element located between center front and
rear elements.
SURFACE COOKING SETTINGS
Use the chart to determine the correct setting for the kind of food you are preparing. The
Simmer settings are used to simmer and keep larger quantities of foods warm such as
stews and soups. The lower Simmer settings are ideal for delicate foods and melting
chocolate or butter.
Note: The size and type of cookware used will influence the setting needed for best cooking
results.
