tions 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. This warning is based on safety considerations.

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 recom- mendedin this manual. All other servicing should be referredto an authorized

Jenn-Air Servicer.

6. Do not store combustible materials, gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquidnear cooktop, Thisalsoapplies to aerosol spraysand aerosol spraycans.

7. Donot usewater on grease fires. Smother fire or flame or usedry chemical or

foam-type extinguisher.

8. Useonly dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.

9. Select ceokware large enough to properly contain food and avoid boilovers or

spillovers. This will save on cleaning and prevent hazardous accumulations of food, since heavysplattering or spillevers left on acooktop can ignite. Pan size

is especially important in deep fat frying.

10, Never leave cooktop unattended at Hi heat settings. Boilover causes smoking

and greasy spillovers that may ignite.

11. TYPE OF COOKWARE - Avoid pans that are unstable and easily tipped. In

choosing pans, look for easily-grasped handles that will stay cool. Pans that are too heavy when filled with food can also be a hazard. Ifpan handles twist

and cannot be tightened, discard the pan.

12. HANDLES - Always turn pan handles to the side or back of the cooktop - not

out into theroom where theyare easily hit. COOKWARE HANDLES SHOULD BE TURNED INWARD AND NOT EXTEND OVER ADJACENT SURFACE

BURNERS tominimize burns, ignitionof flammable materials, andspillage due to unintentional contact with the cookware.

13. CAUTION - Donot store itemsof interestto children incabinets above cooktop- children climbing on the cooktop to reach items could be seriously injured.

Page 4

14. Donot touch surface burnerareas or anyareas near burners. During and after use, these areas may be hot enough to cause burns. Avoid contact with these

areas by clothing or other flammable materials until they have had sufficient time to cool.

15. Do not heat unopened food containers. Build-up of pressure may cause container to burst and result in injury.

16. Keep all controls "OFF" when unit is not in use.

17. GREASE - Grease isflammable andshould be handled carefully. Never leave any cooking operation unattended. Letfat cool before attempting to handle it.

Do not allow grease to collect around the cooktop. Wipe up spillovers immediately.

18. If the cooktop is installed near a window, proper precautions should be taken to prevent curtains from blowing over burners creating a FIRE HAZARD.

19. Donot usealuminum foil to line burner spillover bowl. Restrictionof normal air flow may result in unsafe operation.

20. Clean only parts listed in this manual and use procedures recommended.

21. Alwaysallow hot pans tocool ina safe place out of the reachof small children.

22. A faint gas odor may indicate a gas leak. If a gas odor is detected, shut off the

gassupply to thecooktop. Call your installer or localgas company to havethe possible leak checked. Never use a match or other flame to locate agas

leak.

23. Flame size should be adjusted so itdoes not extendbeyond the edge of the

The surface burner grates are made of porcelain on

castiron. Therefore,the gratescan bewashedinthe _, ,_ sink with mild detergents and a plastic scrubber or washed in the dishwasher.

Burner grates must be properly positioned before j _. cooking. Do notoperate the burnerswithouta pan on the grate. The porcelainfinish on the grate may chip

withouta pan to absorbthe intense heat. I_ All Whenreinstallingsquare grates,place indentedsides

togetherso straight sides are at front and rear. _ Althoughthe burner grate is durable, it will gradually j %.

lose its shine and/or discolor, regardless of the care you take of it. This is dueto its exposureto the high temperatureof gas flames.

To preservethe porcelainenamel finish as longas possible, have a pan on the grate before you turn on the burner, and lower the flame when food reaches the desired

cooking temperature.
