personal injury or damage to the appli- ance as a result of improper usage of the appliance. Use appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this guide.

To ensure proper and safe

operation: Appliance must be properly installed and grounded by aqualified

technician.

IN CASE OFFt£[

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 aflaming pan.

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

If appliance is installed near a window, precautions should be taken to prevent curtains from blowing over surface

elements. NEVER use appliance to warm or heat the

room. Failure to follow this instruction can lead to possible burns, injury, fire, or

damage to the appliance. NEVER wear loose-fitting or hanging

garments while using the appliance. Clothing could catch utensil handles or

ignite and cause burns if garment comes in contact with hot heating elements.

To ensure proper operation and to avoid damage to the appliance or possible

injury, do not adjust, service, repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically recommended in this guide.

Refer all other servicing to a qualified technician.

NEVER store or use gasoline or other combustible or flammable materials near

surface units or in the vicinity of this appliance as fumes could create a fire

hazard or an explosion. To prevent grease fires, do not let cooking

grease or other flammable materials accumulate in or near the appliance.

Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in a steam burn. Do not let potholders touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth which could easily touch hot heating elements and ignite.

Always turn off all controls when cooking is completed.

This appliance has been tested for safe performance using conventional cook- ware. Do not use any devices or accesso- ries that are not specifically recommended in this manual. Do not use eyelid covers or stove top grills. The use of devices or accessories that are not expressly recom-

mended in this manual can create serious safety hazards, result in performance

problems, and reduce the life of the components of this appliance.

NEVER use aluminum fot or fol

containers on the cooktop. These may

become very hot. Usefol only as

directed in this guide. Aerosol-type cans are EXPLOSIVEwhen

exposed to heat and may be highly flammable. Do not use or store near

appliance.

Clean only parts listed in this guide and use procedures recommended.

NEVER leave surface units unattended

especially when using high heat. An

unattended boilover could cause

smoking and a greasy spillover can cause a fire.

This appliance is equipped with different size surface elements. Select pans with flat bottoms large enough to cover element. Fitting pan size to element will

improve cooking efficiency.

If pan is smaller than element, a portion of the element will be exposed to direct contact and could ignite clothing or

potholder.

Only certain types of glass, glass/ ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other

glazed utensils are suitable for cooktop service without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. Follow

utensil manufacturer's instructions when

using glass. Turn pan handle toward center of

cooktop, not out into the room or over another surface element. This reduces

the risk of burns, ignition of flammable

materials, or spillage if pan is accidently

bumped or reached by smal children.

I _LASS°OERAMIC SURFACE !

OTES:

• Cooktop mayemit light smoke and odor the first few times the cooktop is used. This is normal.

• When a control is turned on, a red glow can be seen through the glass-ceramic surface. The element will cycle on and off to maintain the preset heat setting.

• The glass-ceramic surface may appear discolored when it is hot.This is normal and will disappear when the surface cools.

• Glass-ceramic cooktops retain heat for a period of time after the unit is turned off. When the HOTSURFACElight turns off, the cooking area will be cool enough to touch.

• NOTE: Do not attempt to lift the cooktop.

COOKING REAS

The cooking areas on your range are identified by permanent patterns on the glass-ceramic surface. For most efficient cooking, fit the pan sizeto the element

size.

Pans should net extend mere than 1/2 to 1-inch beyond the cooking area.

TiPs TO PRO'T£CT TNE

• Before first use, clean the cooktop. (See Cleaning, page 5.)

• 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, page 5.]

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

• Never usecooktop as awork surface or cutting board. Never cook food directly

on the surface.

• Never place a trivet or wok ring be- tween the surface and pan. These items can mark or etch the top.

• Do not slide metal pans across a hot surface. The pans may leave marks

which can be difficult to remove or leave permanent marks. Any marks

should be removed promptly. (See Cleaning, page 5.]

• Make sure the surface and the pan bottom are clean and smooth 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.

• Never use a soiled dish cloth or sponge to clean the cooktop surface. A film will remain which may cause stains on the cooking surface after the area is

heated.

• Do not use a small pan on a large element. Not only does this waste energy, but it can also result in spillovers burning onto the cooking area which requires extra cleaning

• Do not use non-fiat specialty items that are oversized or uneven such as round

bottom woks, rippled bottom and/or oversized canners and griddles.

• 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 allow spills to remain on the cooking area or the cooktop trim for a long period of time.

• 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.

• To retain the appearance of the glass- ceramic cooktop, clean after each use.

NOTES:

• Glass-ceramic surfaces retain heat. Turn the element off afew minutes i:

before food is completely cooked and use the retained heat to

complete the cooking. Because of the heat retention

characteristics, the elements will not respond to changes in settings

as quickly as coil elements, in the

event of apotential fleilover, remove the pan from the

eookin_ area.

To achieve optimum cooking perfor- mance, use heavy-gauge, flat, smooth bottom pans that conform to the diameter of the cooking area.

WOK OOOKING

Use Jenn-Air's flat bottom wok (Model A0142] for optimum results. The wok has

a nonstick finish, wood handles, cover, steaming rack, rice paddles, cooking tips

and recipes. To order call

from the shaft. Do not remove seal under knob.

• Wash knobs in warm soapy water or dishwasher; do not use abrasive

cleaners or materials.

• To replace each knob, match flat part of knob opening with the flat part of the shaft, returning to OFF position.
