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.

Control Locations

Suggested Control Settings for Surface Elements

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.

Cooking Procedures

Forbest results,always use recommendedcookware. Different cookpots and different

amountsoffoodbeingprepared wJlJinfluencethecontrol settingsneeded forbestresults. For fastest cooking, start with the surface control on Hi for one minute; then turn the

control tothe lowerdesiredsetting. Covering pans,whenever possible,speeds cooking and is more energy efficient.

Do not allow pansto boil dry as this could damage boththe cooktop and the pan.

Selecting Proper Cookware

• Select cookware with flat bottoms. Flat bottom pans are the fastest and best conductors of heat and providethe mostconsistent and satisfactory results. The

entire bottom of the panshould touch the heating elementevenly. Avoid using panswith convex, concaveor irregularbottoms. A panwhich is notflat receives

the mostheat at the point ofcontact, which causes "hot spots" and uneven heat

distribution. Hotspots canresult inscorchingorburningof thefood. Uneven heat distribution slowsthe cooking process and wastes energy.

• To determine if pan is flat, laya straight edge ruleragainst the bottom.

• Donot usea panwith aturned downflange aroundthe bottom ora ripplebottom.

• Do not use wire trivets or any kind of heat retarding pad between the pan and

element. Reduce the control setting instead.

• Specialcooking equipmentwithoutflat bottoms,such asthe Orientalwok, should notbe usedonthe cooktop. OnlyusetheJenn-Air wokaccessory, ModelA141A,

on the cooktop. It hasaspecial heatingelement designed to eliminateproblems

associated with using traditional round bottom woks on the conventional coil element, such as shortening the life of the heating element.

• Donotusea pansthat extendmorethan 1inchon eithersideofthe element. Use

the correct size pan for the size of the heating element. (See exceptions for canners and stockpots below.)

• Large stockpots and canners should be used with Jenn-Air's "Big-pot" canning

element only (Model A145A). The use of large pans on the large element on Hi for extended periods oftimecan cause damageto thecooktop, shortenthe life of

the element, as well as trap excess heat inside the cooktop.

NOTE: CCE407 OWNERS: Sustained trapped heat can cause the large ele-

mentsto cycle off. Elementswillcycle backonafter

the cooktop has cooled down.

CVE407 OWNERS: Sustained trapped heat can cause the downdraft

fanto cycleon. Downdraftfan willcycleoff afterthe cooktop hascooled down.

Large Stockpots or Canners

"Big Pot" canning element accessory, Model A145A, makes it possible to use large oversizedflanged or rippled bottomcanners with conventional coil elements.

Follow These Procedures When Canning

• Bring waterto boil at Hi setting; after boiling has begun, reduce heat to lowest setting that will maintain boiling.

• Make certain canner fits over center of surface unit.

• Flat-bottomedcannersgive the best canning results.

• Usecanning recipes from a reputable source such as the manufacturer of your canner and manufacturers of canning jars.

• Remember that canning is a process that creates large amounts of steam. Be careful and follow equipment instructions to avoid burns from steam or hot

canners.

• Rememberthatifyourareahaslowvoltageattimes,canningmaytake longerthan

indicated by the directions.
