Using the
bridge
surface 
unit

The three controls on the left side of the 
control panel can be used to create an oblong
heated area.

Because of its bigger dimensions, larger pans
can be used on the bridge surface unit.

Choose pans that match the circle/bridge area
as closely as possible.

Make sure the pan rests flat on the glass
cooktop and it is not resting on the trim. If you
notice poor cooking performance, move the
pan to make sure it is flat on the cooktop.

You can use each element separately or you can
use both elements combined with the bridge
element between them.

To use each circular element separately, turn
the bridge select knob to “

” then turn either

control knob to the desired setting. The
controls can be set to any intermediary position
required.

Use the bridge select knob on the right to turn
on the bridge between the two elements by
turning it to  “

••

.”

In order to have an even heat distribution, both
control knobs should be in the same position
when using the bridge.
