In our continuing effort to
improve the quality and per­formance of our cooking
products, it may be necessary
to make changes to the ap­pliance without revising this
guide.

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 when operating your Jenn­Air accessories and cartridges:

GENERAL
PRECAUTIONS

NEVER use your appliance for warming or
heating the room.

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 recommended
in this manual. All other servicing should
be referred to an authorized Jenn-Air
Servicer.

Flammable materials should not be stored
near surface units.

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.

NEVER leave surface units unattended at
high heat settings. Boil over causes smok­ing and greasy spillovers that may ignite.

Keep all switches "OFF" when unit is not in
use.

IN CASE OF FIRE

Turn off appliance and ventilating hood to
avoid spreading the flame. Extinguish flame
then turn on hood to remove smoke and
odor.

• Smother fire or flame in a pan with a lid

or cookie sheet.
NEVER pick up or move a flaming pan.

Do not use water on grease fires. Use bak­ing soda, a dry chemical or foam-type ex­tinguisher to smother fire or flame.

1

CHILD SAFETY

NEVER leave children alone or unsuper­vised near the appliance when it is in use
or is still hot.

NEVER allow children to sit or stand on
any part of the appliance as they could be
injured or burned.

NEVER store items of interest to children
in cabinets above an appliance. Children
climbing on the appliance to reach items
could be seriously injured.

COIL ELEMENTS

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.

NEVER 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.

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. Follow
utensil manufacturer’s instructions when
using glass.

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.

Do not soak or immerse removable heat­ing elements in water.

RADIANT AND
HALOGEN ELEMENTS

NEVER 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 a qualified technician imme­diately.

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.

UTENSIL SAFETY

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.

CONVENTIONAL
COIL ELEMENTS

The conventional coil cartridge is the most
versatile of the cartridges. When an ele­ment is on, it will cycle on and off to main­tain the heat setting.

RADIANT AND
HALOGEN ELEMENTS

The two cooking areas are identified by
circles on the glass-ceramic cooktop. When
an element is turned on, the cooktop will
heat up and the red glow of the heating
element can be seen through the glass-ce­ramic top. (NOTE: On halogen model, a cir­cular halogen bulb will glow instantly.) It is
normal to see the red glow of the element
whenever it cycles on. The element will
cycle on and off for all control settings ex­cept Hi. However, it may also cycle on Hi
if improper cookware is used.

:H

ALOGEN

:R

CAUTIONS:

• DO NOT use wire trivets, fire rings,

pads or any such items between the
cookware and the element.

• DO NOT cook foods directly on

cooktop.

• DO NOT allow pan to boil dry as

this could damage the cooktop and
the pan.

• DO NOT slide heavy metal or glass

cookware across glass-ceramic sur­face since these may scratch the sur­face.

• DO NOT use or place plastic items

anywhere on cooktop.

• DO NOT use cartridge in the event

a break has occurred.

• DO NOT drop heavy cookware on

the cooktop surface.

ADIANT

ELECTRIC COOKTOP CARTRIDGES, CONT.

SELECTING PROPER
COOKWARE

• Select heavy gauge cookware. Gen-

erally heavy gauge cookware will not
change shape when heated.

• Use cookware with flat, smooth
bottoms. To determine if the cookware
is flat, place the edge of a ruler on the
bottom. Hold up to the light. No light
should be visible between the edge of
the ruler and the pan. Reject any pans
that do not fit flush against ruler's edge.

• Match the size of the cookware to
the size of the element. Cookware
should be the same size or slightly larger.

IMPROPER COOKWARE

• DO NOT use cookware that extends
more than one inch beyond the cooking
area.

• Cookware that is smaller in diameter
than the cooking area should not be used.
Not only can this cause the element to
require more energy and time, but can
also result in spillovers burning onto the
cooking area resulting in a cleaning chore.

• DO NOT use specialty items that are
nonflat, oversized, uneven or do not meet
proper cookware specifications such as
round bottom woks with rings, griddles,
rippled bottom canners, lobster pots,
large pressure canners, etc. Large uten­sils, such as pressure canners or over­sized skillets, should be used only on
conventional coil cartridges.

• Glass-ceramic, earthenware, heat proof
glass or glazed cookware may scratch the
glass-ceramic cooktop and therefore are
not recommended.

• NOTE: On halogen cartridge only, alu-
minum pans may cause the element to
cycle even when the control setting is
Hi.

COOKING
PROCEDURES

All Cartridges:

• Before first use clean cooktop cartridge.
(See detailed instructions, pg. 4.)

• For best results, always use recom­mended cookware.

• Different cooktops and different amounts
of food being prepared will influence the
control settings needed for best results.
(See cooktop or range use and care guide
for typical control settings.) For fastest
cooking, start with the surface control
on Hi for one minute; then turn the con­trol to the desired setting. Covering pans,
whenever possible, speeds cooking and
is more energy efficient.

Radiant and Halogen Cartridges:

• The glass-ceramic cooking area retains
heat for a period of time after the ele­ments have been turned off. Put this re­tained heat to good use. Turn elements
off a few minutes before food is com­pletely cooked and use the retained heat
to complete the cooking. Because of this
heat retention characteristic, the ele­ments will not respond to changes in heat
settings as quickly as coil elements. In
the event of a potential boilover, remove
the pan from the cooking area.

• When preparing foods which can be eas­ily scorched or over-cooked, start cook­ing at a lower temperature setting and
gradually increase temperature as
needed.

• A higher setting than normal may be nec­essary when using cookware made with
material that is slow to conduct heat, such
as cast iron.

• A lower setting can be used when cook­ing small quantities of foods or when
using a pan that conducts heat quickly.

TO AVOID DAMAGE TO THE
GLASS-CERAMIC COOKTOP –

Radiant and Halogen Cartridges Only:

• Do not use glass pans. They may scratch
the surface.

• Do not allow plastic, sugar or foods with
high sugar content to melt onto the hot
cooktop. Should this happen, clean im­mediately. (See Cleaning, pages 4 & 5.)

• Never let a pan boil dry as this will dam­age the surface and pan.

• Never use cooktop as a work surface or
cutting board. Never cook food directly
on the surface.

• Do not slide aluminum pans across a hot
surface. The pans may leave marks which
need to be removed promptly. (See
Cleaning, pages 4 & 5.)

• Make sure the surface and the pan bot­tom are clean before turning on to pre­vent scratches.

• To prevent scratching or damage to the
glass-ceramic top, do not leave sugar, salt
or fats on the cooking area. Wipe the
cooktop surface with a clean cloth or
paper towel before using.

• Do not slide heavy metal pans across the
surface since these may scratch.

• Do not use foil or foil-type containers.
Foil may melt onto the glass. If metal melts
on the cooktop, do not use. Call an au­thorized Jenn-Air Servicer.

• If a spillover occurs while cooking, im­mediately clean the spill from the cook­ing area while it is hot to prevent a tough
cleaning chore later. Using extreme care,
wipe spill with a clean dry towel.

• Do not use abrasive cleansing powders
or scouring pads which will scratch the
cooktop.

• Do not use chlorine bleach, ammonia or
other cleansers not specifically recom­mended for use on glass-ceramic.

3

CLEANING

• Be sure appliance is off and all
parts are cool before handling or
cleaning. This is to avoid damage
and possible burns.

• The cooktop cartridge DOES NOT
need to be removed for normal clean­ing.

• NEVER immerse cartridge in water to
clean. This can damage wiring. A drain
hole within the cartridge permits drain­age of normal spills into the porcelain
basin pan where they will drain into the
grease container. The bottom of the
cartridge may be wiped clean with de­tergent solution if necessary.

CONVENTIONAL COIL
CARTRIDGE –

HEATING ELEMENTS

• Under normal conditions, most soil will
burn off elements. The heating elements
unplug for your convenience in cleaning
the drip pans. Lift slightly and pull away
from receptacle. DO NOT IMMERSE IN
WATER. To replace elements, push com­pletely into the receptacle. Make sure
the elements fit flat.

DRIP PANS

• To keep the like-new appearance, clean
frequently and never allow anything to burn
on twice. Remove soiled pans (first re-

move heating element). Clean lightly
soiled pans with soap and water or clean
in dishwasher.

• Difficult to remove spots can be cleaned
by rubbing lightly with soapy S.O.S.* pads
or nonabrasive cleaners such as Bon

Ami*. To help release burned on soil, soak
in a solution of 1/2 cup ammonia and 1
gallon warm water or boil in 2 quarts of
water for 20 minutes. (All drip pans can­not be boiled at once because element
being used must have a drip pan in place.)

• Do not use abrasive cleansers, steel wool
or cleansers not recommended for use
on chrome. Blue/gold staining of the drip
pans indicates improper cookware selec­tion and/or using excessively high heat
and cannot be removed.

PORCELAIN COOKTOP

• The porcelain enamel used on your
cooktop is acid resistant, not acid proof.
Therefore, acidic foods (such as vinegar,
tomato, milk, etc.) spilled on the cooktop
should be wiped up immediately with a
dry cloth.

• Wash cool cooktop with warm soapy
water and rinse. Polish with a dry cloth.

• Do not use abrasive or caustic cleaning
agents which may permanently damage
the finish.

• NEVER wipe off a warm or hot porce­lain enamel surface with a damp cloth.

STAINLESS STEEL COOKTOP

• Before using the cooktop, remove all
pieces of plastic covering the top. Use a
glass cleaner to remove any film residue
from the top and inside the rim area sup­porting the drip pan. If residue is left on
cooktop, it can be burned onto cooktop
and be difficult to remove.

• DO NOT USE ANY CLEANING

PRODUCT CONTAINING CHLO­RINE BLEACH.

• ALWAYS WIPE WITH THE GRAIN

WHEN CLEANING.

• Daily Cleaning/Light Soil –– Wipe

with one of the following - soapy water,
white vinegar/water solution, Formula
409 Glass and Surface Cleaner* or a simi­lar glass cleaner - using a sponge or soft
cloth. Rinse and dry. To polish and help
prevent fingerprints, follow with Stainless
Steel Magic Spray (Jenn-Air Model A912,
Part No. 20000008)**.

• Moderate/Heavy Soil –– Wipe with

one of the following - Bon Ami*, Smart
Cleanser*, or Soft Scrub* - using a damp
sponge or soft cloth. Rinse and dry. Stub­born soils may be removed with a damp
Scotch-Brite* pad; rub evenly with the
grain. Rinse and dry. To restore luster
and remove streaks, follow with Stain­less Steel Magic Spray.

• Discoloration –– Using a damp sponge

or soft cloth, wipe with Cameo Stainless
Steel Cleaner*. Rinse immediately and
dry. To remove streaks and restore lus­ter, follow with Stainless Steel Magic
Spray.

RADIANT AND HALOGEN
CARTRIDGE –

GLASS-CERAMIC SURFACE

• NEVER use oven cleaners, chlorine bleach,
ammonia or glass cleaners with ammonia.
NOTE: Call an authorized servicer if the glass­ceramic top should crack, break or if metal
or aluminum foil should melt on the cooktop.

• Allow the cooktop to cool before cleaning.

• General – Clean cooktop after each use,

or when needed, with a damp paper towel
and Cooktop Cleaning Creme* (Part No.

20000001)**. Then, buff with a clean dry
cloth.

CANNING ELEMENT

Model A145A

The canning element ac­cessory makes it possible
to use large or oversized,
flanged or rippled bottom
canners with the conven­tional coil cartridge.

Follow these procedures when
canning:

• Bring water to boil at Hi setting; after

boiling has begun, reduce heat to lowest
setting that will maintain boiling.

• Make certain canner fits over center of
surface unit.

• Flat-bottomed canners give the best can­ning results.

• Use canning recipes from a reputable
source such as the manufacturer of your
canner and manufacturers of canning jars.

• Canning is a process that creates large
