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 heatsettings. 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-ceramic, ceramic,earthenware,or otherglazedcookwareare suitablefor

The built-in ventilation system removes cooking vapors, odors and smoke from foods

prepared onthe cooktop, grill and grill accessories.
