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.

• Use cookpots with flat, smooth bottoms. The twowaysto determineifcookpots havea flat, smoothbottomare the rulertest and thecookingtest.

• Match the size of the cookpot to the size of the element. Ideally,the cookpot willbethesamesize or slightlylarger.

• Do not use cookware that extends more than 1 inch beyondthe edge of the element.

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. Bestusedon lowto mediumcontrolsettings.

• Porcelain enamel-on-steel or porcelain enamel-on-cast iron should be used

accordingto manufacturer'sdirections. Do not allowto boildry.
