SAFETY

PRECAUTIONS

Read before operating your cooktop

All appliances -- regardless of the manufacturer -- have the

potential through improper or careless use to 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.
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 inthis 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 atowel

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. COOKWARE HANDLES SHOULD BE TURNED

INWARD AND NOT EXTEND OVER ADJACENT SUR-
FACE BURNERS to minimize burns, ignition of flammable

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 cook-

top to reach items could be seriously injured.

14. Do not touch grill and surface burner areas or perimeter
trim around cooktop. 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 pres-

sure may cause container to burst and result in injury.

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

17. Keep vent ducts unobstructed.

18. 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 or in the vents. Wipe

up spillovers immediately.

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

20. Do not use aluminum foil to line aeration tray or burner
basin. Restriction of normal air flow may result in unsafe

operation.

21. Do not use cookware on the grill section of this appliance.

22. Before servicing your appliance, disconnect power to the
cooktop at the main fuse or circuit breaker panel and at
the electrical receptacle.

23. Always allow hot pans to cool in a safe place out of the
reach of small children.

24. 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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE AND WARNING

The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986

(Proposition 65) requires the Governor of California to publish a list of

substances known to the State of California to cause cancer or reproductive

harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to

such substances.

Users of this appliance are hereby warned that the burning of gas can result
in low-level exposure to some of the listed substances, including benzene,
formaldehyde and soot, due primarily to the incomplete combustion of natural
gas or liquid petroleum (LP) fuels. Properly adjusted burners will minimize
incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances can also be minimized
by properly venting the burners to the outdoors.

WARNING

ElectricalGroundingInstructions

This appliance is equipped with a three-prong grounding plug for
your protection against shock hazard and should be plugged directly
into a properly grounded three-prong receptacle. Do not cut or remove
the grounding prong from this plug.

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

• To operate the ventilation system manually, push the on/off switch located in
front of the air grille.

• The ventilation system will operate automatically when the grill burner is in use.

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

Cleaning the Ventilation System

Air Grille: The air grille lifts off easily.

Wipe clean or wash in sink with mild

household detergents. To prevent
scratching the surface, do not use abra-

sive cleansers or scrubbing pads. May be
cleaned in dishwasher.

Filler: Turn off ventilation system be-
fore removing. Turn filter retainer clip to

remove filter. 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: Filter should always be
placed at an angle. As you face the front of

the cooktop, the top of the filter should
rest against the left side of the vent open-
ing and the bottom of the filter should rest
against the right side of the ventilation

chamber at the bottom. DO NOT OPER-

ATE SYSTEM WITHOUT FILTER. 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 afilm of grease. May be cleaned with

paper towel, damp cloth or sponge and mild household detergent.

Cookware Selection

Size of Cookware

Flame size should be adjusted so it does not extend beyond the edge of the cookware.
This instruction is based on safety considerations. Adjusting the size of the flame

to fit the size of the cookware also helps to save fuel.
CAUTION: Do NOT allow large pans to contact or extend over the control knobs.

Heat trapped between large pans and control knobs could possibly cause damage
to the control knobs.

IMPORTANT: Leave a minimum of 11/2" between side of pan and surrounding
surfaces, such as countertop backsplash or side walls, to allow heat to escape to

avoid possible damage to these areas.

Cookware Materials

Stainless steel, porcelain enamelware, glass, and glass ceramic cookware designed
for surface cooking usually heat slowly and conduct heat poorly when a large flame

size is used. Turn the knob to adjust the flame size to extend only halfway between
center and edge of the cookware bottom for better cooking results. Aluminum cookware
conducts heat more evenly; therefore, a slightly larger flame size can be used. The

flame can be adjusted so it comes to the edge of the cookware. The flame should
NEVER be adjusted so that it extends beyond the bottom of the cookware.

Covered Cookware

If the cookware is covered, less fuel will be needed; therefore, a lower flame size
can be used.

NOTE: Food will not cook any faster when more than the amount of heat needed

to maintain a gentle boil is used.
