SAFETY

PRECAUTIONS

Read before operating your cooktop

All appliances -- regardless of the manufacturer _ have the

potential through improper or careless useto create safety prob-
lems, Therefore the following safety precautions should be

observed:

1. Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded
by a qualified technician.

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

3. 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.

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

5. 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.

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

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

8. 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.

9. 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.

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

ignite.

11. 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.

12. 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.

13. 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 asyou know has been approved for this purpose.

14. 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.

15. Do not soak or immerse removable heating elements in
water.

16. CAUTION -- Do not store items of interest to children
in cabinets above cooktop--children climbing on the cook-

top to reach items could be seriously injured.

17. 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.

18. Do not cook on glass-ceramic cooking surface if the cook-
top is broken. Cleaning solutions and spillovers may pene-
trate the broken cooktop and create a shock hazard.

Contact an authorized Jenn-Air Service Contractor.

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

careful to avoid steam burns. Some cleansers can produce
noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.

20. Do not operate with damaged cooking element after any
product malfunction until proper repair has been made.

21. Keep all switches "OFF" when unit is not in use.

Ventilation System

_-" The built-in ventilation system removes cooking vapors, odors and smoke from foods

prepared on the cooktop, grill and grill accessories.
Regular use of this system will insure a more comfortable and less humid kitchen

which is free of heavy cooking odors and fumes that normally create a frequent

need for cleaning and redecorating.

Using the Ventilation System

• The fan control is located normally at the rear
of the control panel. To operate the ventilation
system manually, turn the fan control knob

clockwise. The variable speed fan can be
operated at an infinite number of settings when

using the cooktop cartridges or the griddle.

• The ventilation system will operate automatically when the grill element is
in use. NOTE: During grilling, the fan speed is automatically set for the Hi

setting and cannot be varied.

• Besides using the ventilation system to remove cooking vapors and fumes,
it can be used to cool baked pies, cakes or hot pans. To cool an item, set

it on the air grille and turn on the fan. The air being pulled over the item

will quickly cool it. Be careful not to cover the entire air grille.

• The fan can be used to remove strong odors from the kitchen as when chopping
onions near the fan.

Cleaning the Ventilation System

Grille: The air grille lifts off easily. Wipe clean or wash in sink with mild

'_,,_,lousehold detergents. May be cleaned in dishwasher.

Filter: Turn off ventilation system before

removing. The filter is a permanent type and

should be cleaned when soiled. Clean in sink
with warm water and liquid dishwashing

detergent or in dishwasher.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT OPERATE SYSTEM

WITHOUT FILTER. Filter should always be

placed at an angle. As you face the front of the
cooktop, the bottom of the filter should rest on
the ledge on the left side. The top of the filter
should rest against the right side. There are also

ledges on the front and rear sides for the filter
to rest. (NOTE: If filter is flat against the fan wall,

ventilation effectiveness is reduced.)

Ventilation Chamber-" This area, which houses the filter, should be cleaned

in the event of spills or whenever it becomes coated with a film of grease. May
be cleaned with paper towel, damp cloth, or sponge and mild household detergent

or cleanser. (Note: for easier cleaning, remove the basin pans.)

down before turning. To set (from the OFF position), push down
on control knob and turn in either direction to desired heatsetting.

• When control is in any position, other than OFF, it may be turned
in any direction without pushing down.

• Control Panel A: A red indicator light will glow when a surface
heating element is ON.There is a light for each control.

• Control Panel B: When control knob is in the OFF position, the
only setting visible is OFF. When control knob is turned ON,
all other control settings will be shown. The ring around control
knob will glow when surface heating element is ON.

Suggested Control Settings
for Surface Elements Energy-Saver

The size and type of cookware used and the amount and type of food being cooked
will influence the setting needed for best cooking results. Electrical line voltage

may also vary, which will affect the needed control setting. The setting indicated
should serve as a guide while you become familiar with your cooktop.

HI A fast heat to start cooking quickly, to bring liquids to a boil, to preheat oil for deep

fat frying. Used for most grilling.

7-10 (Medium High) For fast frying or browning foods, to maintain rapid boil of large amounts

of food, to maintain oil temperature for deep fat frying.

5-6 (Medium) For foods cooked in a double boiler, sauteing, slow boil of large amounts

of food, and most frying.
3-4 (Medium Lo) To continue cooking foods started on higher settings.
LO-2 Maintaining serving temperatures of foods, simmering foods, melting butter or chocolate.
The heat controls offer flexibility in heat setting selection. On settings other than Hi, you may

adjust the controls above or below the numbered setting for best results. This applies to settings
when using cooktop cartridges or when using the grill or any of the grill accessories. Suggested

settings are provided as general guidelines.
