Electric Range & Cooktop - Bridge Burner

Some electric ranges and cooktops feature a Bridge Burner. This is a special burner. This is not to be confused with a Bridge Zone which does not have a separate heating element between the two left burners.

Understanding the Use of the Bridge Burner on an Electric Range or Cooktop

On electric ranges and cooktops with a Bridge Burner, the Bridge Burner feature expands cooking options by connecting the two left side 7" radiant heating elements to form a continuous oval shaped cooking surface. A separate heating element in between the two left side 7" elements provides equal heat distribution within the entire oval pattern. Each 7" element is 1,800 watts and with the 800 watt bridge the total wattage is 4,400 watts.
