NEVER use aluminum foil or foil containers on the cooktop. These may become very hot. Use foil only as directed in this guide.

Aerosol-type cans are EXPLOSIVE when exposed to heat and may be highly flammable. Do not use or store near appliance.

Clean only parts listed in this guide and use procedures recommended.

COOKTOP

NEVER leave surface units unattended

especially when using high heat. An unattended boilover could cause smoking and a greasy spillover can cause a fire.

This appliance is equipped with different size surface elements. Select pans with flat bottoms large enough to cover element. Fitting pan size to element will improve cooking efficiency.

If pan is smaller than element, a portion of the element will be exposed to direct contact and could ignite clothing or potholder.

Only certain types of glass, glass/ ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for cooktop service without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. Follow utensil manufacturer’s instructions when using glass.

Turn pan handle toward center of cooktop, not out into the room or over another surface element. This reduces the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, or spillage if pan is accidently bumped or reached by small children.

GLASS-CERAMIC COOKTOP

cooktop and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately.

Clean cooktop with caution. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface. If a wet sponge, cloth, or paper towel is used on a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid steam burn.

Never stand on the cooktop.

DEEP FAT FRYERS

Use extreme caution when moving the grease pan or disposing of hot grease. Allow grease to cool before attempting to move pan.

HEATING ELEMENTS

NEVER touch surface elements or areas near elements.

Heating elements may be hot even though they are dark in color. Areas near surface elements may become hot enough to cause burns.

During and after use, do not touch or let clothing or other flammable materials contact heating elements or areas near elements until they have had sufficient time to cool.

Other potentially hot surfaces include: Cooktop and areas facing the cooktop.

CHILD SAFETY

CAUTION

NEVER store items of interest to children in cabinets above an appliance or on the cooktop. Children climbing on appliance to reach items could damage the appliance or be burned or seriously injured.

NEVER leave children alone or unsupervised in area where appliance is in use or is still hot.

NEVER allow children to sit or stand on any part of the appliance as they could be injured or burned.

Children must be taught that the appliance and utensils in or on it can be hot. Let hot utensils cool in a safe place, out of reach of small children. Children should be taught that an appliance is not a toy. Children should not be allowed to play with controls or other parts of the unit.

VENTILATING HOODS

Clean range hood and filters frequently to prevent grease or other flammable materials from accumulating on hood or filter and to avoid grease fires.

Turn the fan on when flambéing foods (such as Cherries Jubilee) under the hood.

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE AND WARNING

IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING PET BIRDS: Never keep pet birds in the

kitchen or in rooms where the fumes from the kitchen could reach. Birds have a very sensitive respiratory system. Fumes released during an oven selfcleaning cycle may be harmful or fatal to birds. Fumes released due to overheated cooking oil, fat, margarine and overheated non-stick cookware may be equally harmful.

NEVER cook on broken cooktop. If cooktop should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken

SETTING THE

HOT SURFACE

CONTROLS

1. Place pan on surface element.

2. Push in and turn the knob in either

direction to the desired heat setting.

3. After cooking, turn knob to OFF.

Remove pan.

INDICATOR LIGHTS

Each element has a hot surface indicator light. A light will be illuminated when the matching cooking area is hot. It will remain on, even after the control is turned off, until the area has cooled. The lights are located near the control knobs.

GLASS-CERAMIC SURFACE

NOTES:

• Cooktop may emit light smoke and odor the first few times the cooktop is used. This is normal.

• When a control is turned on, a red glow can be seen through the glass-ceramic surface. The element will cycle on and off to maintain the preset heat setting.

• The glass-ceramic surface may appear discolored when it is hot. This is normal and will disappear when the surface cools.

• Glass-ceramic cooktops retain heat for a period of time after the unit is turned off. When the HOT SURFACE light turns off, the cooking area will be cool enough to touch.

• NOTE: Do not attempt to lift the cooktop.

COOKING AREAS

The cooking areas on your range are identified by permanent patterns on the glass-ceramic surface. For most efficient cooking, fit the pan size to the element size.

Pans should not extend more than to 1-inch beyond the cooking area.

TIPS TO PROTECT THE GLASS-CERAMIC SURFACE

• Before first use, clean the cooktop. (See Cleaning, page 5.)

• Do not use glass pans. They may scratch the surface.

• Do not allow plastic, sugar or foods with high sugar content to melt onto the hot cooktop. Should this happen, clean immediately. (See Cleaning, page 5.)

• Never let a pan boil dry as this will damage the surface and pan.

• Never use cooktop as a work surface or cutting board. Never cook food directly on the surface.

• Never place a trivet or wok ring between the surface and pan. These items can mark or etch the top.

• Do not slide metal pans across a hot surface. The pans may leave marks which can be difficult to remove or leave permanent marks. Any marks

should be removed promptly. (See Cleaning, page 5.)

• Make sure the surface and the pan bottom are clean and smooth before turning on to prevent scratches.

• To prevent scratching or damage to the glass-ceramic top, do not leave sugar, salt or fats on the cooking area. Wipe the cooktop surface with a clean cloth or paper towel before using.

• Never use a soiled dish cloth or sponge to clean the cooktop surface. A film will remain which may cause stains on the cooking surface after the area is heated.

• Do not use a small pan on a large element. Not only does this waste energy, but it can also result in spillovers burning onto the cooking area which requires extra cleaning

• Do not use non-flat specialty items that are oversized or uneven such as round bottom woks, rippled bottom and/or oversized canners and griddles.

• Do not slide heavy metal pans across the surface since these may scratch.

• Do not use foil or foil-type containers. Foil may melt onto the glass. If metal melts on the cooktop, do not use. Call an authorized Jenn-Air Servicer.

• If a spillover occurs while cooking, immediately clean the spill from the cooking area while it is hot to prevent a

tough cleaning chore later. Using extreme care, wipe spill with a clean dry towel.

• Do not allow spills to remain on the cooking area or the cooktop trim for a long period of time.

• Do not use abrasive cleansing powders or scouring pads which will scratch the cooktop.

• Do not use chlorine bleach, ammonia or other cleansers not specifically recommended for use on glassceramic.

• To retain the appearance of the glassceramic cooktop, clean after each use.

NOTES:

• Glass-ceramic surfaces retain heat. Turn the element off a few minutes before food is completely cooked and use the retained heat to complete the cooking.

Because of the heat retention characteristics, the elements will not respond to changes in settings as quickly as coil elements. In the

event of a potential boilover, remove the pan from the cooking area.

COOKWARE

To achieve optimum cooking performance, use heavy-gauge, flat, smooth bottom pans that conform to the diameter of the cooking area.

WOK COOKING

Use Jenn-Air’s flat bottom wok (Model AO142) for optimum results. The wok has a nonstick finish, wood handles, cover, steaming rack, rice paddles, cooking tips and recipes. To order call 1-800-JENNAIR (1-800-536-6247).

CARE & CLEANING

CLEANING PROCEDURES

CAUTION

• Be sure appliance is off and all parts are cool before handling or cleaning. This is to avoid damage and possible burns.

• To prevent staining or discoloration, clean appliance after each use.

• If a part is removed, be sure it is correctly replaced.

CONTROL KNOBS

• To remove knobs, turn to the OFF

position. Pull each knob straight up from the shaft. Do not remove seal under knob.

• Wash knobs in warm soapy water or dishwasher; do not use abrasive cleaners or materials.

• To replace each knob, match flat part of knob opening with the flat part of the shaft, returning to OFF position.
