Read before operating your range
All appliances - regardless of the manufacturer - have the potential
through improperor careless useto create safetyproblems. 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 appliancefor warmingor heatingthe room.
3. Children should not be left alone or unattended in area where
applianceis inuse. They shouldnever be allowedto sitor standon
any part of the appliance.
4. Wear proper apparel. Loose-fitting or hanging garments should
never be worn while using the appliance,
5. Donot repairor replaceanypartofthe appliance unlessspecifically
recommendedinthis manual.Allotherservicingshouldbe referred
to an authorized Jenn-Air Service Contractor.
6. Flammable materials should not be stored in an oven or near
surface units,
7. Donot usewater on grease fires. Smother fire or flame or usedry
chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
8. Use onlydry potholders. Moistor damp pothelderson hotsurfaces
may result in bums from steam. Do not let potholder touch hot
heating elements. Do not usea 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.
Theuseofundersized cookwarewillexpose aportion oftheheating
element to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing.
Properrelationshipofcookwareto heatingelementwillalsoimprove
efficiency and performance.
10. Never leave surface units unattended at high heat settJngs. BoJl
over may cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite.
11. On conventional element ranges make sure that drip pans are in
place. Absenceofthese pansduringcooking maysubjectwiringor
components underneathto damage.
12. Do not use aluminumfoil to line surface unit drip pans or oven
bottom. 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 other glazed cookware are suitable for
cooktop surface without breaking due to the sudden change in
temperature. Use only such cookware as you know has been
approved for this purpose.
14. Cookware handles should be turned inward and not extend over
adjacent surface heating elements to avoid burns, ignition of
flammable materials and spillagedue to unintentional contactwith
the cookware.
15. Do notsoak or immerse removableheating elements in water.
16. CAUTION - Do not store items of interest to children in cabinets
above range - childrenclimbing on the range to reachitems could
be seriously injured.
17. Donot touchsurface units orareasnear units,heatingelements or
interiorsurfacesof oven. Surfaceunitsorheatingelements may be
hoteventhoughtheyare dark incoler. Areas near surface unitsand
interior surfaces of an oven may become hot enough to cause
bums. During and after use, do not touch or let clothing or other
flammable materials contact these areas until they have had
sufficienttimeto cool. Other surfaces may become hot enough to
causebums - amongthese surfaces are thecooktop, upper door
frameand glass, ovenventopeningandsurfacesnearthe opening,
oven door, and oven window.
18. Do not cook on glass-ceramic cooking surface if the cooktop is
broken. Cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the
broken cooktop andcreate a shockhazard. Contact anauthorized
Jenn-AirService Contractor.
19. Clean glass-ceramic cooktops withcaution. Ifwet spongeor cloth
is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid
steam bums. Some cleansers can produce noxious fumes if
applied to a hot surface.
20. Do not operate with damaged cooking element after any product
malfunctionuntilproperrepair has been made.
21. Keepall switches"OFF" when unitis notin use.
22. Use carewhen openingovendoor. Let hot airor steamescape
beforeremovingorreplacingfood.
5
23. Donot heat unopenedfood containers. Build-upof pressure may
cause container to burst and result in injury.
24. Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed.
25. Always place oven racks indesired location while oven is cool. If
rackmust be movedwhile oven is hot, do not letpotholder contact
hot heating element in oven,
26. Donot clean door gasket. The door gasket is essential for a good
seal. Care shouldbetaken notto rub,damage,ormovethe gasket.
27. Do not use oven cleaners. No commercial oven cleaner or oven
linerprotective coating ofany kindshould be used inor around any
part of the oven,
28. Clean only parts listed in this manual.
29. ¢ALrrlON: BEFORE SELF-CLEANING THE OVEN, REMOVE
FOOD, BROILER PAN AND OTHER UTENSILS.
30. Do not allow aluminum foil to contact heating elements.
31. PREPARED FOOD WARNING: Follow food manufacturer's
instructions. If a plastic frozen food container and/or its film cover
distorts,warpsor isotherwise damagedduringcooking,immediately
discardthefood anditscontainer. Thefood could be contaminated.
32. This appliance has been tested for safe performance using
conventionalcookware. Donotuse anydevices oraccessoriesthat
arenot specificallyrecommended inthis manual. Donot useeyelid
covers for the surface units, stovetop grills, or add-on convection
systems. The useof 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.
33. WARNING: To reduce the risk of tipping of the appliance, the
appliance must be secured by a properly installed anti-tip device.
To check if device is installed properly: Use a flashlight and look
underneath the range to see that one of the rear leveling legs is
engagedinthe bracketslot. When removingappliance for cleaning,
besureanti-tip device isengaged when rangeisreplaced.Theanti-
tip device secures the rear leveling leg to the floor, when properly
engaged.
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
ofthis appliance are hereby warned that when the oven isengaged
in the self-clean cycle, there may be some low level exposure to
someof the listedsubstances, including Carbon Monoxide. Expo-
sure to these substances can be minimized by properly venting the
range to the outdoors during the self-clean cycle.

Heavy gauge cookpotswithfiat,smoothbottomswill usuallywork in a similarway.
However,thereare some differencesinthe cookingperformanceofvariousmaterials.
• Aluminum cookpotsheat quicklyand evenly. Bestsuitedforsimmering,braising,
boilingandfrying.
• Stainless steel cookpotswill evenly distribute heat if constructedof tri-ply or
combinedwith other metalssuch as aluminumand copper. Use for cooking
functionssimilarto aluminum.
• Cast iron cookpotsare slowto heat but cookmore evenlyonce temperatureis
reached. Use forlongterm lowheatcookingor for browningandfrying.
• Glass ceramic, earthenware, heat-proof glass or glazed cookpotscan be used if
recommendedbythe manufacturerforcookpotcooking. Donotuse withtrivets.
