Congratulationson yourchoice of aJenn-Airelectricrange. YourJenn-
Air self-cleaningrange combinesthe best of four cookingmethods,
convectionbaking,convectionroasting,conventionalbakingor roast-
ing,andbroiling.
The Jenn-Air convectionoven is actuallya conventionaloven that
circulatesheated air withinthe oven. As both bake and broil heating
elementscycleon and offwiththethermostat,a fan keepsthe heated
air circulatingaroundthefood. Theconstantlyrecirculatingheatedair
intheconvectionovenstripsawaythe layerofcoolerairthatsurrounds
the food. Consequently,many foods cook more quickly. Distributed
heat makesmultiple rack cooking possible. Convection roasted meats
retaintheirnatural flavor andjuiciness withlessshrinkagethen conven-
tional roasting.
In addition to the many exclusive benefits of convectioncooking, your
ovenisalsoa finefull featuredconventional "bakeand broil" oven. You
can cook your "old favorite" recipes as you have in the past. The
conventionalbakeovenalsogivesyoutheflexibilityofpreparingvarious
foods when convection cooking may not be as beneficial, as when
cooking foods in covered casseroles or clay pots. The broilelement is
convenient for top browning and oven broiling of foods.
Before you begin cooking with your new range, please take a few
minutesto read and become familiarwith the instructions in this book.
Onthe following pagesyou will find awealth of information regarding all
aspectsofusingyour new range. Byfollowing the instructionscarefully,
you will be able to fully enjoy and properly maintain your range and
achieve excellent resultswiththe food you prepare.

Heavy gauge cookpotswithflat, smoothbottomswill usuallywork in a similarway.
However,there aresomedifferencesinthe cookingperformanceof variousmaterials.
• Aluminum cookpotsheat quicklyand evenly. Bestsuitedfor simmering,braising,
boilingand frying.
• Stainless steel cookpotswill evenly distributeheat if constructedof tri-ply or
combinedwith other metals such as aluminumand copper. Use for cooking
functionssimilarto aluminum.
• Cast iron cookpotsare slowto heat but cook moreevenly once temperature is
reached. Useforlongtermlow heat cookingorfor browningandfrying.
• Glass ceramic, earthenware, heat-proof glass or glazed cookpotscan be usedif
recommendedby the manufacturerfor cookpotcooking. Do not use withtrivets.
