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.- 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-cerar0ic,
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.
14. 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.
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 cooktop 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 operate with damaged cooking element after any product
malfunction until proper repair has been made.
19. Keep all switches "OFF" when unit is not in use.
