Read before operating your cooktop

All appliances- regardless of the manufacturer- have the potential through improper or careless use to create safety problems. Therefore the following safety precautions should be observed:

1. Never use your appliance for warming or heating the room.

2. Children should not be left alone or unattended in area where appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to

sit or stand on any part of the appliance.

3. Wear proper apparel. Loose-fitting or hanging garments should never be worn while using the appliance.

4. Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically recommended in this manual. All other servic- ing should be referred to an authorized Jenn-Air Service

Contractor.

5. Flammable materials should not be stored near surface units.

6. Do not use water on grease fires. Smother fire or flame or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.

7. Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let

pothotder touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.

8. Use proper pan size. Many appliances are equipped with one or more surface units of different size. Select cookware

having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit heating element. The use of undersized cookware will

expose a portion of the heating element to direct contact and

may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of

cookware to heating element wilt also improve efficiency and performance.

9. Never leave surface units unattended at high heat settings. Boi! over causes smoking and greasy spil!overs that may

ignite.

On conventional element cooktops make sure that drip pans are in place. Absence of these pans during cooking

may subject wiring or components underneath to damage.

Do not use aluminum foil to line surface unit drip pans or grill

basin. Installation of these liners may result in an electric shock or fire hazard.

Glazed cookware - only certain types of glass, glass-

ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed cookware

are suitable for cooktop surface without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. Use only such cookware as

you know has been approved for this purpose. Cookware handles should be turned inward and not extend

over adjacent surface heating elements to avoid burns, ignition of flammable materials and spillage due to uninten-

tional contact with the cookware.

Do not soak or immerse removable heating elements in

water. CAUTION - Do not store items of interest to children in

cabinets above cooktop - children climbing on the cooktop to reach items could be seriously injured.

Do not touch surface units or areas near units. Surface units or heating elements may be hot even though they are dark

in color. Areas near surface units may become hot enough

to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch or let

clothing or other flammable materials contact these areas until they have had sufficient time to cool. Other surfaces

may become hot enough to cause burns - among these surfaces is the cooktop.

Do not operate with damaged cooking element after any product malfunction until proper repair has been made. Keep all switches "OFF" when unit is not in use.

Congratulations on your choice of a Jenn-Air conventional coil cooktop cartridge. The conventional coil cartridge is the most versatile of the cartridges. The two accessories,

which may be used with the coil cartridge, are a wok accessory and big pot canning element.

• For best results, always use recommended cookware.

• Different cookpots and different amounts of food being prepared will influence the

control settings needed for best results. (See cooktop or range use & care manual for typical control settings.) For fastest cooking, start with the surface control on Hi for one minute; then turn the control to the lower desired setting. Covering pans,

whenever possible, speeds cooking and is more energy efficient.

• Do not allow pans to boil dry as this could damage both the cooktop and the pan.

• Do not drop heavy cookware on the cooktop surface.

• Select cookware with flat bottoms. Flat bottom pans are the fastest and best

conductors of heat and provide the most consistent and satisfactory results. The entire bottom of the pan should touch the heating element evenly, Avoid using pans

with convex, concave or irregular bottoms. A pan which is not flat receives the most heat at the point of contact, which causes "hot spots" and uneven heat distribution, Hot spots can result in scorching or burning of the food. Uneven heat distribution slows the cooking process and wastes energy,

• To determine if pan is flat, lay a straight edge ruler against the bottom.

• Do not use a pan with a turned down flange around the bottom or a ripple bottom.

• Do not use a pan that extends more than 1 inch on either side of the element. Use the correct size pan for the size of the heating element. (See exceptions for canners

and stockpots below.)

• Large stockpots and canners should be used with Jenn-Air's "Big-pot" canning element on_y(Model A145A). The use of large pans on the large element on Hi for extended periods of time can cause damage to the cooktop, discoior the drip pans,

as well as shorten the life of the etement.

• Do not use wire trivets or any kind of heat retarding pad between the pan and element. Reduce the control setting instead.

• Special cooking eq uipment without flat bottoms, such as the OrientaI wok, shouldnot be used on the cooktop. Only use the Jenn-Air wok accessory, Model AO !42, on the

cooktop.

Canning element accessory,

Model A145A, makes it pos- sible to use large oversized flanged or rippled bottom

canners with conventional

coil cartridge.

--RIGHT WRONG .....WRON(_....

FollowThese Procedures When Canning

® Bring water to boil at Hi setting; after boiling has begun, reduce heat to lowest setting

that will maintain boiling.

• Make certain canner fits over center of surface unit.

Q Flat-bottomed canners give the best canning results.

• Use canning recipes from a reputable source such as the manufacturer of your canner and manufacturers of canning jars.

• Remember that canning is a process that creates large amounts of steam. Be carefuf and follow equipment instructions to avoid burns from steam or hot canners.

• Remember that if your area has low voltage at times, canning may take longer than

indicated by the directions.
