SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Read before operating your cooktop

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.
Children should not be left alone or unattended in area where
3.
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.
Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically
5.
recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred
to an authorized Jenn-Air Service Contractor.
Flammable materials should not be stored near surface units.
6.
7.
Do not use water on grease fires. Smother fire or flame or use dry
chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces
8.
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.
Never leave surface units unattended at high heat settings. Boil
10.
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-ceramic,
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 flammable 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 cook on glass-ceramic cooking surface if the cooktop is
broken. Cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken
cooktop and create a shock hazard. Contact an authorized Jenn-Air
Service Contractor.
19.
Clean glass-ceramic cooktops with caution. If wet sponge or cloth is
used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid steam
burns. Some cleansers can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot
surface.
20. Do not operate with damaged cooking element after any product
malfunction until proper repair has been made.
21. Keep all switches “OFF” when unit is not in use.
22. Clean only parts listed in this manual and use procedures recom-
mended.
23. This appliance has been tested for safe performance using conventional cookware. Do not use any devices or accessories that are not
specifically recommended in this manual. Do not use eyelid covers
for the surface units or stovetop grills. The use of devices or
accessories that are not expressly recommended in this manual can
create serious safety hazards, result in performance problems and
reduce the life of the components of the appliance.

Ventilation Systenb
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
0 The fan control is located at the front of the control panel. To
operate the ventilation system manually, turn the fan control
knob clockwise. The variable speed fan can be operated at an
infinite number of settings when using the cooktop cartridges
or the griddle.
0 The ventilation system will operate automatically when the grill element is in use.
Note: During grilling, the fan speed is automatically set for the Hi setting and cannot
be varied.
0 Besides using the ventilation system to remove cooking vapors and fumes, it can
be used to cool baked pies, cakes or hot pans. To cool an item, set it on the air grille
and turn on the fan. The air being pulled over the item will quickly cool it. Be careful
not to cover the entire air grille.
0 The fan can be used to remove strong odors from the kitchen as when chopping
onions near the fan.

1 Cleaning the Ventilation System 1
Air Grille
The air grille lifts off easily. Wipe clean or wash in sink with mild household detergents.
It may be cleaned in the dishwasher.
Filter
Turn off ventilation system before removing. The filter is a
permanent type and should be cleaned when soiled. Clean
in sink with warm water and liquid dishwashing detergent or
in the dishwasher.
Important: DO NOT OPERATE SYSTEM WITHOUT NL-
TER. Filter should always be placed at an angle. As you face
the front of the cooktop, the bottom of the filter should rest
on the ledge on the left side. The top of the filter should rest
against the right side. There are also ledges on the front and
rear sides for the filter to rest. (Note: 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 a film of grease. It may be cleaned with paper towel, damp cloth
or sponge and mild household detergent or cleanser. (Note: For easier cleaning,
remove the basin pans.)
