thefollowingsafetyprecautionsshouldbe observed:

1. Be sure your appliance is properly installedand grounded by a
qualifiedtechnician.

2. Neveruse yourappliancefor warmingor heating the room.

3. Children should not be left alone or unattended in area where

applianceis inuse or stillhot. They shouldneverbe allowedto sit
or standon any part of the appliance.

4. Wear proper apparel. Loose-fittingor hanging garmentsshould
never beworn while usingtheappliance.

5. Donotrepairorreplaceanypartoftheapplianceunlessspecifically

6. Flammablematerialsshouldnotbe stored near surfaceunits.

7. Donotusewater on greasefires. Smotherfireor flame or usedry
chemicalor foam-typeextinguisher.

8. Useonlydry potholders. Moistordamppotholdersonhotsurfaces
may resultin burns from steam. Do not let potholder touch hot

heatingelements. Do not use atowel or otherbulky cloth.

9. Use properpan size. Many appliancesare equippedwith one or
more surface units of differentsize. Select cookwarehaving flat
bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit heating element.

Theuseofundersizedcookwarewillexposeaportionoftheheating
element to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing.
Properrelationshipofcookwareto heatingelementwillalsoimprove
efficiencyand performance.

10. Neverleavesurfaceunitsunattendedathighheatsettings. Boilover
causessmokingand greasyspilloversthat mayignite.

11. Glazed cookware - only certain types of glass, glass-ceramic,
ceramic,earthenware, or other glazed cookpots are suitable for

cooktop surface without breaking due to the sudden change in
temperature. Use only such cookwarethat you know has been
approvedforthis purpose.

12. Cookware handles should be turned inward and not extend over
adjacent surface heating elements to avoid burns, ignition of flam-

mable materials and spillage due to unintentional contact with the

cookware.

13. CAUTION - Do not store items of interest to children in cabinets
above a cooktop - children climbing on the cooktop to reach items

could be seriously injured.

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

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 ashock hazard. Contact an authorized Jenn-Air
Service Contractor.

16. Clean glass-ceramic cooktops with caution. Ifa wet sponge or cloth
isused towipe spills on a hot cooking area, becareful to avoid steam

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

17. Do not operate with damaged cooking element after any product

malfunction until proper repair has been made.

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

19. Clean only parts listed in this manual and use procedures recom-

mended.

may become very hot.

21. This appliance has beentested for safe performance using conven-

tional cookware. Do not useany devices or accessories that are not

specifically recommended in this manual. Do not use eyelid covers

for the surface units or stovetop grills. The use of devices or

accessories that are not expressly recommended inthismanual can
create serious safety hazards, result in performance problems, and

reduce the life of the components of the appliance.

22. Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumu-
late in or near the appliance, hood or vent fan. Clean hood fre-

quently to prevent grease from accumulating on hood orfilter. When

flaming foods under the hood turn the fan on.

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 or blanch.

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

amounts of food.

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

of food, and most frying.

3-4 (Medium Lo) To stew, steam, simmer; to continue cooking foods started on higher

settings.

LO-2 Maintaining serving temperatures of foods, simmering foods, melting butter or

chocolate.

The controls offer flexibility in setting selection. On settings other than Hi, you may adjust
the controls above or below the numbered setting for best results. Suggested settings

are provided as general guidelines.

To achieve optimum cooking performance, use heavy gauge, flat, smooth bottom

Whenchoosingeookwarefortheinductionelements,considerthematerial,gauge,and
size of the cookware. Note: Cookware does NOT have to be flat for optimum
performanceon the inductionelements.

The cookware MUST be made of a ferromagneticmaterial in order to work on the

inductioncooktop. Todetermineifamaterialismagnetic,testthebottomofthecookware

An inductioncooktoprespondslike a gascooktop, quick to heatand instant response
when turned off. The cooking areas are identified by circles on the glass-ceramic

cooktop. When an element is turned ON, the inductioncoils located under the glass

create a magneticfield. Whena ferromagneticpotat least4" in diameteris placedon
the element,the potgets hot.

• Placethe cookpeton the cookingareabeforeturning onthe controls.

• DONOT HEATAN EMPTYCOOKPOTORSKILLET.

• Since induction cooking is fast, start cooking at the recommendedsetting. For

IMPORTANT

• DoNOT usecoppercookware.

• DoNOT allowpotsto boil dry.

• DoNOT heatan emptyskillet.

• Slowlyheat and cool porcelain pots. Rapidchanges in temperature may cause

crazing ofthe porcelainfinish.

Eachinductioncookingareahas a potsensorwhich willcause a "beep-beep"tocome

13

The built-in ventilation system removes cooking vapors, odors, smoke and steam from
foods prepared on the cooktop. 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.

• The fan control is located at the front ofthe control panel. To operate theventilation
system manually+ turn the fan control knob clockwise. The variable speed fan can

be operated at an infinite number of settings.

• Besides using the ventilation system to remove cooking vapors and fumes, itcan 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 pulted over the item will quickly cool )t. 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.

AirGrille

Theair grille lifts off easily. Wipe clean or wash in sink with mild household detergents, it may
be cleaned in the dishwasher.

Filter

Turn off ventilation system before removing. The filter is a
permanenttype and should becleaned when soiled. Clean

in sink with warmwater andliquiddishwashing detergent or
in dishwasher.

Important: DO NOT OPERATE SYSTEM WITHOUT FIL-

TER. Filter should always be placed at an angle. As you
face the front of the cooktop, the bottom of the fitter should
restonthe ledgeonthe rightside. Thetop ofthefirtershourd

restagainst the left side. There are also ledges onthe 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. It may be cleaned with paper towel, damp cloth, or
sponge and mild household detergent or cleanser.

14

Jenn-Air's ventilation system is designed to capture both cooking fumes, smoke and
steam. If the system does not, these are some ducting installation situations to check:

• 6" diameter round or 3 V4"x 10" rectangular ducting should be used. Note: 5"
diameter round ducting may be used if the duct length is 10' or less.

• No more than three 90° elbows should be used. Distance between elbows should

be at least 18".

• Recommended Jenn-Air wall cap should be used. Make sure damper moves freely
when ventilation system is operating.

• There should be a minimum clearance of 6" for cooktop installed near a side wall.

if there is not an obvious improper installation, there may be a concealed problem such
as a pinched joint, obstruction in the pipe, etc. Installation is the responsibility of the

installer and questions should be addressed first by the installer. The installer should
very carefully check the ducting installation instructions.

15

BEFORE CLEANING, BE CERTAIN ALL ELEMENTS ARE TURNED OFF AND THE
COOKTOP iS COOL.

CAUTION: Do NOT use a cooktop cleaner on a hot cooktop. The fumes can be

hazardous to your health and can chemically attack the glass-ceramic
surface.

NOTE: Plastic objects, sugar or foods with high sugar content allowed to melt onto

the cooktop can cause damage. See page 11 for cleaning instructions.

• For general daily cleaning and light surface soil, use a clean dishcloth orpaper towel
and wash surface with solution of water and any of these cleansers: dishwashing

liquid such as Ivory or Joy, baking soda, fine polishing powders such as Bon Ami, or
commercial ceramic cooktop cleansers such as Cooktop Cleaning Creme (Part No.

20000001). Wipe with clean damp cloth or paper towel. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

• To remove residue from burned on spills, make a paste of water and baking soda or
Bon Ami, Bar Keepers Friend, Comet, Shiny Sinks or nonabrasive soft scrubbing

cleansers, such as Cooktop Cleaning Creme (Part No. 20000001). Scrub with paper
towels, nylon or plastic scrubber, such as Tufty. Rinse and dry thoroughly. If stain
is not removed easily, allow paste to remain on surface for 30 to 40 minutes. Keep
moist by covedng with wet paper towel or plastic wrap.

• To remove burnt on spot, use a single edge razor blade. Place blade edge on
cooktop at 30°angle; scrape off spot. Clean remainder of soil with method described

above.

To remove knobs, turn to the OFF position. Pull each knob strai9ht up from the shaft.
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 spring on the

flat part of the shaft, returning to OFF position.
