SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

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 servicing
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 potholder
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 will
also improve efficiency and performance.

9. Never leave surface units unattended at high heat settings. Boil
over causes smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite.

10. 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.

Areas near surface units may become hot enough to cause
burns. During and after use, do nottouch orlet clothing or other
flammable materials contact these areas until they have had
sufficient time to cool. Other surfaces may become hotenough
to cause burns - among these surfaces is the cooktop.

15. Do not cook on glass-ceramic cooking surface if the cooktop is
broken. Cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the

broken cooktop and create a shock hazard. Contact an autho-
rized Jenn-Air Service Contractor.

16. Clean glass-ceramic cooktops with caution. If wet sponge or
cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to
