cannot be tightened, discard the pan.
13. HANDLES - Always turn pan handles to the side or back
of the cooktop - not out into the room where they are
easily hit. COOKWARE HANDLES SHOULD BE
TURNED INWARD AND NOT EXTEND OVER ADJACENT SURFACE BURNERS to minimize burns,
ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to
unintentional contact with the cookware.
14. 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.
IS. Do not touch surface burner areas or any areas near
burners. During and after use, these areas may be hot
enough to cause burns. Avoid contact with these areas by
clothing or other flammable materials until they have had
sufficient time to cool.

and avoid boilovers or spillovers. This will save on
cleaning and prevent hazardous accumulations of food,
since heavy splattering or spillovers left on acooktopcan
ignite. Pan size is especially important in deep fat frying.
10. Do not allow large pans to extend beyond the edge of the
surface burner grates. Refer to page 4, “Using Your
Cooktop” for large pan usage guidelines.
Do not use
16. Do not heat unopened food containers. Build-up of
pressure may cause container to burst and result in injury.
17. Keep all controls “Off’ when unit is not in use.
18. GREASE - Grease is flammable and should be handled
carefully. Never leave any cooking operation unattended. Let fat cool before attempting to handle it. Do
not allow grease to collect around the cooktop. Wipe up
spillovers immediately.
19. If the cooktop is installed near a window, proper precautions should be taken to prevent curtains from blowing
over burners creating a FIRE HAZARD.
20. Do not use aluminum foil to line burner spillover bowl.
Restriction of normal air flow may result in unsafe
operation.
21. Clean only parts listed in this manual and use procedures
recommended.
22. Always allow hot pans to cool in a safe place out of the
reach of small children.
Il. Never leave cooktop unattended at Hi heat settings.
Boilover causes smoking and greasy spillovers that may
ignite.
23. A faint gas odor may indicate a gas leak. If a gas odor is
detected, shut off the gas supply to the cooktop. Call your
installer or local gas company to have the possible leak
checked. Never use a match or other flame to locate a
gas leak.

24. Flame size should be adjusted so it does not extend
beyond the edge of the cookware. This instruction is
based on safety consideration.
25. 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 burners
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.
26. Before servicing shut off electrical power supply to
appliance.
27 Keep vent area unobstructed when in use.
WARNING
Electrical Grounding Instructions
The appliance is equipped with a threeprong grounding plug for your protection 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.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
AND WARNING
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement
Act of 1986 (Proposition 65) requires the Governor of California to publish a list of substances known to the State of
California to cause cancer or reproductive harm, and requires
businesses to warn customers of potential exposures to such
substances.
Users of this appliance are hereby warned that the burning of
gas can result in low-level exposure to some of the listed
substances, including benzene, formaldehyde 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 venting the cooktop to
the outdoors.
IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING PET BIRDS:
Never keep pet birds in the kitchen or in rooms where the
fumes from the kitchen could reach. Birds have a very
sensitive respiratory system. Fumes released during an oven
self-cleaning cycle may be harmful or fatal to birds. Fumes
released due to overheated cooking oil, fat, margarine and
overheated non-stick cookware may be equally harmful.

Ducting
44444444444444444444444444444444444444444
Ducting Considerations
Jenn-Air’s ventilation system is designed to capture both
cooking fumes and smoke from the cooktop surface. If the
system does not, these are some ducting installation situations
to check:
+ 6” diameter round or 3 I/J” x IO” rectangularducting should
be used for duct lengths IO’-60’. Note: 5” diameter round
ducting must be usedfor venting straight out the back of
the cooktop and directly through the wall for 10’ or less.
+ No more than three 90” elbows should be used. Distance
between elbows should be at least IS”.
+ Recommended Jenn-Air wall cap MUST be used. Make
sure damper moves freely when ventilation system is
operating.
+ There should be a minimum clearance of 6” for cooktop
installed near a side wall.
If there is not an obvious improper installation, there may be
a concealed problem such as a pinched joint, obstruction in
the pipe, etc. Installation is the responsibility of the installer
and questions should be addressed first by the installer. The
installer should very carefully check the ducting installation
instructions.

Setting the Controls
Your cooktop has sealed gas burners with automatic reignition. If the burner flame should go out, the system will
automatically spark to reignite the burner.
1. Place a pan on the burner grate. (To preserve the grate
finish, do not operate the burner without a pan on the grate
to absorb the heat from the burner flame).
2. Push down the control knob and tur
immediately counterclockwise to the
desired setting. (Ignitor will spark and
click, at any position, until there is a
flame.)
The size and type of cookware will affect the heat setting. For
information on cookware, refer to “Cooking Made Simple”
booklet.
The controls offer flexibility in heat setting selection. An
infinite number of settings exist between Hi and Lo. At the Hi
setting, a detent can be felt. For all settings other than Hi,
simply adjust your flame for best results.
The following suggested settings are provided as guidelines.

+ Do not let the burner flame extend beyond the edge of the
pan.
+ Do not allow large pans to extend beyond the edge of the
surface burner grates. Heat trapped between large pans
and other surfaces could possibly cause surfaces to
become hot to the touch or damage these areas.
To prevent damage to other surfaces when using a
large pan, you may purchase a “Big Pot” Canning
Grate (Model AG146) accessory. Contact your dealer
or call l-800- JENN-AIR.
+ Leave a minimum of 1 l/2” between the side of a pan and
surrounding side surfaces, such as a countertop backsplash
or side walls. This will allow heat to escape and prevent
damage to the side surfaces.

Ventilation System
The built-in ventilation system removes cooking vapors,
odors and smoke from foods prepared on your cooktop.
+ The fan control is located at the front of
the control panel. To operate turn the
fan control knob clockwise. The
variable speed fan can be operated in an
infinite number of settings.
+ 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.
Care and Cleaning of
the Ventilation System
+ Air Grille: The air grille lifts off easily. Wipe clean or wash
in dishwasher or sink with mild household detergents. To
prevent scratching the surface, do not use abrasive cleaners
or scrubbing pads.
+ 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 detergent or in
dishwasher.

+ The grates are made of porcelain on cast iron and are very
durable, however, they will gradually lose their shine and/or
discolor. This is due to exposure to high temperatures from
the gas tlame.
+ When replacing the grates, place the rear grate on the cooktop
with the grate guide toward the front. Then, add the front grate
by positioning the grate guide under the rear grate and lowering
onto the cooktop.
