zones identified by the lines on the right side of
the cooktop. Each zone has a separate heating
element. In the front of the bridge is a round
element seven inches in diameter that is rated
at 1800 watts. This front element of the bridge
burner is individually controlled for use with a
pot or pan as large as eight inches in diameter.
The back burner area of the bridge burner,
also a round element seven inches in diameter,
is rated 1800 watts makes this another great
individual burner for a pot as large as eight
inches in diameter. In the center of the bridge
burner is a bridge element rated at 800 watts,
which operates in conjunction with the back
burner element.

Note: Ask your dealer about the DACOR AMG11
Griddle. This Griddle is designed for the DACOR
bridge burner. DO NOT BRIDGE A GRIDDLE
ACROSS TWO BURNERS UNLESS YOU
HAVE THE METB BRIDGE ELEMENT. Bridging
across two elements will create stress on the
cooktop which can result in cracking.
Selecting Proper Cookware
For best results, a few simple guidelines should
be followed: use medium to heavy gauge metal
cookware with flat, thick and smooth bottoms
for greatest efficiency. Glass cookware should
only be used as recommended by the cookware
manufacturer
ImpORTANT:
In no instance should a support, such as
a wok ring or trivet, be placed directly on
the cooking surface. This may result in
scratching of the glass ceramic top.
WARNING:
To avoid electrical shock or burns, turn off
all controls and ensure the cooktop is cool
before cleaning.
ImpORTANT:
Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaning
agents, waxes, polishes, or commercial
cooktop cleaners to clean the cooktop.
Care and Cleaning Instructions
Glass Ceramic Top
Clean the top surface thoroughly before
operating the cooktop for the first time. Apply
about 1/4 teaspoon of non-abrasive cleaner,
such as the Cooktop Cleaning Creme supplied,
to the surface of the ceramic glass with a lightly
dampened clean cloth. Use a second clean
cloth to remove any remaining cleaner residue.
Wipe the cooktop surface with a dry cloth to
completely eliminate any remaining moisture.
The cooktop surface should be maintained by
repeating the above procedure during or after
each use. Be careful not to wipe or clean any
hot areas to avoid personal injury. It should be
safe to clean each element area whenever the
corresponding element residual heat indicator
light has gone out.
To remove heavy or burned-on spills, allow the
cooktop to cool. Using a razor blade scraper
held at a 30° angle to the cooktop surface,
gently scrape off any burned-on substances.
Remove any remaining residue by applying
the recommended cleaner as described above.
Be careful not to scratch or gouge the surface.
Do not allow the scraper handle to touch the
cooktop surface when hot. Remove any residue
by applying the recommended cleaners.
Pitting of the ceramic glass is possible if sugar
spills or spills with a high sugar content are left
in the hot zone. Use a razor scraper to move the
spill to a cool area for cleaning after the cooktop
cools.

WARNING:
To prevent injury or permanent damage to
the cooktop, avoid:
1. Using the cooktop as a cutting board.
2. Sliding rough-bottomed cookware,
especially aluminum, across the glass
surface. (Remove any resulting marks
immediately, using the recommended
cleaner if this occurs.)
3. Allowing anything that melts easily,
such as plastic objects, aluminum
foil, sugar, and foods with high sugar
content, to directly come in contact with
the glass surface. In the event that this
condition occurs, remove from hot zone
immediately with the razor scraper.
4. Placing food directly on the cooktop
surface when it is warm or hot. (Always
use cookware.)
5. Operating or cleaning the cooktop if the
glass is broken. (Immediately contact an
authorized service technician.)
6. Placing a trivet, wok support ring, or
other metal stand directly onto the glass
surface.
7. Applying chlorine bleach, ammonia,
or other strong chemicals or cleaners
such as Windex or Formula 409 to the
cooktop.
8. Using abrasive cleaners or applicators.
9. Mixing various chemicals or cleaners
together, then applying them to the
cooktop.
10. Wiping the cooktop with a sponge
or dish cloth which may leave a film
of detergent that will discolor during
the next heating cycle. (Remove any
resulting discoloration using the
recommended cleaner if this occurs.)
