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. 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

recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred
to an authorized Jenn-Air Service Contractor.

6. Do not store combustible materials, gasoline or other flammable

vapors and liquid near cooktop.

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 use a towel or other bulky
cloth.

9. Select cookware large enough to properly contain food and avoid

boil overs or spillovers. This will save on cleaning and prevent
hazardous accumulations of food, since heavy splattering or

spillovers left on a cooktop can ignite. Pan size is especially

important in deep fat frying.

10. Never leave cooktop unattended at Hi heat settings. Boil over
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. If pan 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 the room where they are easily hit. COOK-
WARE HANDLES SHOULD BE TURNED INWARD AND NOT

EXTEND OVER ADJACENT SURFACE BURNERS to minimize
burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to uninten-

tional contact with the cookware.

13. 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.

14. Do not touch surface burner areas or any areas near burners.
During and after use, these areas may be hot enough to cause

burns. Avoid contact with these areas by clothing or other flam-

mable 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 units is not in use.

17. GREASE - Grease is flammable and should be handled carefully.
Never leave any cooking operation unattended. Let fat 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. Do not use aluminum foil to line burner spillover bowl. Restriction
of normal air flow may result in unsafe operation.

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

21. Always allow hot pans to cool in a safe place out of the reach of

small children.

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

cut off the gas supply to the cooktop. Call your installer or local gas
company to have the possible leak checked. Never use a match

or other flame to locate a gas leak.
