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.

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

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.

(such as Cherries Jubilee) under the
hood.
IMPORTANT SAFETY
NOTICEAND WARNING
IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING
PET BIRDS: Never keep pet birds in the
kitchen or in rooms where the fumes

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

TIPSTO PROTECTTHE
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
4
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

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.

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.
