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 otherglazedcookwarearesuitablefor

and redecorating.

knob clockwise. The variable speed fan can be operated at
an infinite number of settings when using the cooktop
cartridges or the griddle.

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,

• The fan can be used to remove strong odors from the kitchen as when chopping
onions near the fan.
