Important Safety Notice and Warning

The CaliforniaSafe DrinkingWater andToxic EnforcementAct of 1986 (Propo-
sition65) requires the Governor of California to publisha list of substances

knownto the State of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm, and
requiresbusinesses to warn customers of potential exposures to such sub-

stances.

Users ofthis appliance are hereby warned that burning of gas can result in low-
level exposure to some of the listed substances, including benzene, formalde-
hyde 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 be minimized by properly vent-

ing the burners to the outdoors.

WARNING

Electrical Grounding Instructions

The appliance is equipped with a three-prong grounding plug for your protec-
tion 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.

Congratulations on your choice of a Jenn-Air gas cooktop. The indoor grilling of
meats, fish or fowl is an attractive and healthy way to prepare these foods.

Before you begin cooking with your new cooktop, please take a few minutes to
read and become familiar with the instructions in this book. Should you have

any questions about using your Jenn-Air gas cooktop, write to us. Be sure to
provide the model number.

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
isfree of heavy cooking odors and fumes that normally create a frequent need for clean-

ing and redecorating.

• To operate the ventilation system manually, turn

fan knob clockwise to ON position, ummuuli ......... _

• 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 near the air grille.

g

Air Grille

The air grille lifts off easily. Wipe clean or wash in

sink with mild household detergents. It may be
cleaned inthe dishwasher.

Filter

Turn oft 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 WITH-

OUT FILTER. 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 opening and the bottom of the
filter should rest against the right side of the ventilation chamber at the bottom. If filter

is flat against the fan wall, ventilation effectiveness is reduced.

VentilationChamber

This area, which housesthe filter, shouldbe cleaned in the event of spillsorwhenever
itbecomescoated with a film ofgrease. The ventilationchamber may be cleaned with
papertowel, damp cloth,or sponge and mild householddetergentor cleanser.

lSize of Cookware1

To achieveoptimumcockingperformance usecookpotswithflatbottomsand tightfitting

covers. Flame size should be adjusted so it does not extend beyond the edge of the
cookware. This instructionis basedon safetyconsiderations. Adjustingthe size ofthe

flame to fitthe size of the ccokware also helpsto save fuel.

Important: Leave a minimumof 11/2"between side of pan and surroundingsurfaces,

such ascountertopbacksplashor sidewalls, to allow heat to escape to avoid possible

damage to these areas.

• Aluminum cookware heats evenly and quickly. A slightly larger flame size can be

used. The flame canbe adjusted so itcomes to the edge ofthe cookware. However,

the flame should NEVER be adjusted so that it extends beyond the bottom of the
cookware.

• Stainless steel cookware with copper or aluminum cores heat evenly and fairly
quickly. The flame size should be adjusted to extend only halfway between center

and edge of the cookware bottom for best results.

• Cast iron cookware heats slowly.

• Check manufacturer's recommendations before using porcelain on steel, porcelain
on cast iron, glass, glass-ceramic, earthenware or other glazed cookpots.

l!C°vered c°° are I

Ifthe 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.

IGri!ling TiPsl

With your Jenn-Air, grill literally any food you've considered "at its best" when prepared

outdoors can now be prepared indoors with less fuss and great flavor.

The following suggestions are good rules to follow and will increase your enjoyment of
the equipment.

• Be sure to follow directions on page 13 for using the grill.

• Suggested cooking times and control settings are approximate due to variations
in meats. Experience will quickly indicate cooking times as well as which settings

work best.

• For best results, buy top grade meat. Meat that is at least 3/4inch will grill better

than thinner cuts.

• Score fat on edges of steak, but do not cut into meat, to prevent curling while
cooking.

• Forthe attractive "branded" look on steaks, be sure grill ispreheated. Allow one
side of meat to cook todesired doneness, or untiljuices appear onthe top surface,

before turning. Turn steaks and hamburgers just once. Manipulating food causes
loss ofjuices.

• When basting meats or applying sauces to foods, remember that excessive
amounts wind up inside your grill and do not improve the food flavor. Apply sauces

duringthe last 15to 20 minutesof cooking time unless recipe specifies otherwise.
Plus, any time a sugar-based marinade, (for example, barbecue sauce) is going

to be used, the grates should be "seasoned" prior to preheating. (See p. 13.)

• There are many meat marinades which will help tenderize less expensive cuts of
meat for cooking on the grill.

• Certain foods, such as poultry and non-oilyfish, may need some extra fat. Brush
with oil or melted butter occasionally while grilling.

• Use tongs with long handles or spatulas for turning meats. Do not use forks as
these pierce the meat, allowing juices to be lost.

• To help retain meat juices, salt after turning meat or after cooking is completed.

Important: Never use a metal bladeto pry knob off.

Be surethe grillis coolandcontrols are OFF. These are madefrom cast aluminum and

• After the grill grates have cooled, wipe off grates with a paper towel. Wash cool
grates (DO NOT IMMERSE HOTGRILL GRATES INWATER) with soap or deter-
gent in hotwater in the sink orwash them inthe dishwasher. Be sureto remove all
food residue beforecooking on the grill grates again.

• Remove stubborn spots with a plastic mesh puff or pad. For best results, use only
thosecleaning productswhich state theyare recommendedfor usewhen cleaning

noflstick surfaces.

• If gratesare washedinthedishwasher,seasonwith oilpriortogrilling,

• DonotusemetalbrushesorabrasJvescouringpadsorotherscrubbersJntendedto

J

[Surface Burner Assembly]

To clean thesurface burnerassembly(surface burnergrates,aerationtray, andsurface
burners).

• Lightsoil - wash in hotsoapywater,rinse and dry.

• Moderate soil- use Comet, BonAmi, a soft scrubcleanser or plasticpuff.

• Heavy soil - for occasional use only, use oven cleaner followingmanufacturer's

directions.

NOTE:

• The porcelain enamel used on your cooktop is acid resistant, not acid proof.
Therefore, acid foods (such as vinegar, tomato, milk, etc.) spilled on the cooktop

should be wiped up immediately with a dry cloth.

• Do NOT use abrasive cleaners, S.O.S. or Brillo pads.

• Remove sugar spills immediately.

• Do NOT clean in a self-clean oven.

• Check to be sure all burner ports are open. To open clogged ports, insert a
toothpick directly into each port.

Although the burner grate is durable, it will gradually lose its shine and/or discolor,
regardless of the care you take of it. This isdue to its exposure to the high temperature

of the gas flame.

To preserve the porcelain enamel finish as long as possible, have a pan on the grate

before you turn on the burner and lower theflame when food reaches the desired cooking
temperature.

• To clean light soil,wipewithsoapy cloth or nonabrasive cleanser, such asSoft Scrub.
Rinse, buff with soft cloth; polish with glass cleaner if necessary.

• To clean moderate soil or discoloration of the surface (excessive heatwill cause a
golden discoloration), clean with Zud, Bar Keepers Friend, or Luneta (Jenn-Air

Model A912, Part No. 712191). With a sponge or cloth, rub cleanser with the grain

to avoid streaking the surface. Rinse well, buff dry; polish with a glass cleaner if

necessary to remove cleanser residue and smudge marks.

• Heavy soil, such as burned on food soil, can be removed by first cleaning as per the
instructions for moderate soil. Stubborn stains can be removed with a damp Scotch-

Brite scour-pad; rubevenly with the grain to avoid streaking the surface. Rinsewell,
buff with dry cloth; polish with glass cleaner ifnecessary to remove cleanser residue

and smudge marks. Scotch-Brite is also useful in buffing and removing minor
scratches.

Note on the control panel:

• Do NOT useabrasivecleaners.

• Do NOT useScotch Britepads.

• Clean with soapy clothor Luneta.

JIgnitersI

• Itisimportanttokeepigniterportopeningsonburnersclearandfreeofobstructions
to avoid ignitionfailure and possiblegas buildup. If theportopeningsare blocked,

usea toothpickto removefoodparticles.

• The igniter cap and stem can be cleaned with warm soapy water and a plastic
scrubber. Thewireelectrode inside the cap can be cleaned with a small brush. Rinse

and dry.

This area is located under the grilland surface burners andshould be cleaned after each
use of the grill.

• To remove light soil, clean with soapy water or with cleaners such as Fantastic or 409.
For easier cleanup, a) spray with household cleaner; b) cover with papertowels; c)

add small amount of water to keep the paper towel moist; d) cover and wait 15
minutes; e)wipe clean.

• To remove moderate soil, scrub with Comet, BonAmi, a softscrub cleanser orplastic
scrubber.

• To remove stubborn soil, spray withan oven cleaner; let soak overnight; wipe clean;
rinse and dry.

Drain Jar

A drainjar islocatedbelow the grillbasinpan
under the countertop. Check periodically to

prevent spillovers. Unscrew and remove. If
jar is broken,replace with any heat tempered

jar, such as a canning jar, which has a stan-
dard screw neck.

Jenn-Air's ventilation system is designed to capture both cooking fumes and smoke
while grilling. If the system does not, these are some ducting installation situations to

check:

• 6" diameter round or 31/4' x 10" rectangular ducting should be used for duct lengths

10'-60'. Note: 5" diameter round ducUng must be used if the duct length is 10'

or less.

• No morethan three900elbowsshouldbeused. Distancebetween elbowsshould

be at least 18".
