Check the following list to be sure a service call is really necessary. A quick reference
of this manual may prevent an unneeded service call.
If nothing on the cooktop operates:
• check for a blown circuitfuse or a tripped main circuit breaker.
• check if cooktop is properly connected to electric circuit in house.
If grill heatingelement or cooktopelementdoes not get hot enough:
• check if heating element isplugged in solidly.
• surface controls may not be set properly.
• voltage to house may be low.
If ventilation system is not capturing smoke efficiently:
• check on crossventilation in room or make up air.
• excessive amount of smoke is being created; check instructions for grilling,
trimming meats. (See p. 9.)
• cooktop may be improperly installed; check ducting information. (See p. 15.)
• air filter may be improperly installed. (See p. 5.)
Note; If either element of the cooktop cartridge failsto heat--switch the cartridge to the
other side of cooktop. If itoperates on that side, then cooktopcontrol switch may be at
fault. If itdoes notheat oneitherside-_indications arethat the cartridge requires service.
In this event, you may speed service by delivering the lightweight cartridge to the
authorized Jenn-Air Service Contractor, thus by-passing the time required for normal
home-service schedules.
