About Your Appliance
If appliance is installed near a window, proper precautions should be taken to prevent curtains from blowing over surface elements.
To prevent potential hazard to the user and damage to the appliance, do not use appliance as a space heater to
heat or warm a room. To ensure proper operation and to avoid damage to the
appliance or 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.
Many aerosol-type cans are EXPLOSIVE when exposed to heat and may be highly flammable. Avoid their use or storage near appliance.
DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS. Heating elements may be hot even though they are dark in color. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials contact heating elements until they
have had sufficient time to cool. Other surfaces of the appliance may become hot enough to cause burns.
Cooking Safety
Use dry, sturdy potholders. Damp potholders may cause burns from steam. Dish towels or other substitutes
should never be used as potholders because they can trail across hot elements and ignite or get caught on appliance parts.
Wear proper apparel. Loose fitting or long hanging- sleeved apparel should not be worn while cooking.
Clothing may ignite and cause burns if garment comes in contact with heating elements.
NEVER heat unopened containers on the surface unit. Pressure building up in the container may cause the container to burst resulting in burns, injury or damage to the appliance.
PREPARED FOOD WARNING: Follow food manufacturer's instructions. If a plastic frozen food
container and/or its cover distorts, warps, or is otherwise damaged during cooking, immediately discard the food
and its container. The food could be contaminated. Always turn off all controls when cooking is completed.
Utensil Safety
This appliance has been tested for safe performance using conventional cookware. Do not use any devices or

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 the pan is smaller than the 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 small children.

Important Safety Notice
and Warning
IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING PET BIRDS: Never keep pet birds in the kitchen or in rooms where
the fumes from the kitchen could reach. Birds have a very sensitive respiratory system. Fumes released during
an oven self-cleaning cycle may be harmful or fatal to birds. Fumes released due to overheated cooking oil, fat, margarine and overheated non-stick cookware may be equally harmful.
Jenn-Air's ventilation system is designed to capture both cooking fumes and smoke from the cooktop surface. If the system does not, here are some ducting installation
situations to check: * 6" diameter round or 3 W' x 10" rectangular ducting
should be used for duct lengths 10'-60'.
Note: 5" diameter round ducting may be used if the duct length is 10' or less.
No more than three 90° elbows should be used. Distance between elbows should be at least 18".
Recommended Jenn-Air wall cap MUSTbe used. Make sure damper moves freely when ventilation system is operating.
, There should be a minimum clearance of 6" for
cooktop installed near a side wall.
If there is not an obvious improper installation, there may be a concealed problem such as a pinched joint, obstruction in the pipe, etc. Installation is
the responsibility of the installer and
installer. The installer should very carefully
i questions should be addressed first by the
check the ducting installation instructions. , Use the Flow Tester Card provided with
your appliance to check the air flow.

Hot Surface indicator Lights
The cooktop hasHot Surface Lights located next to the elements. These lights indicate when the adjacent cooking area is hotto the
touch even after the control has been turned off. The red light
will remain on until the area has cooled.
Surface Controls
Use to turn on the surface elements. An infinite choice of
heat settings is available from Lo to Hi. The knobs can be set on or between any of the settings.
Setting the Controls
1. Place pan on surface element.
2. Push in and turn the knob in either direction to the desired
heat setting. When the control is in any position other than OFF,it may be turned without pushing down.
When the control knob is turned ON, the ring around the control knob will glow.
The cooktop surface is marked to identify which
element the knob controls.
3. When an element isturned ON, the cooking area will heat
up and the red glow of the heating element will be seen through the glass-ceramic top. It is normal to see the red
glow of the element whenever it cycles ON. The elements
will cycle on and off for all control settings except Hi.
4. After cooking, turn knob to OFF. Remove pan.
Suggested Heat Settings

Smoothtop Surface
Smoothtop Surface Notes:
, Cooktop may emit light smoke and odor the first few
times the cooktop is used. This is normal.
* Smoothtop cooktops retain heat for a period of time
after the element is turned off. Turn the elements off a few minutes before food is completely cooked and use
the retained heat to complete cooking. When the Hot Surface light turns off, the cooking area will be cool
enough to touch. Because of the way they retain heat, the smoothtop surface will not respond to changes in settings
as quickly as coil elements.
, In the event of a potential boilover, remove the pan from
the cooking surface.
, The smoothtop surface may appear discolored when hot.
This is normal and will disappear when the surface cools.
Cooking Areas
The cooking areas on your cooktop are identified by perma-
nent circles on the smoothtop surface. For most efficient cooking, fit the pan sizeto the element size.
Pans should not extend more than 1/2to 1=inch beyond
the cooking area.
When a control is turned on, a glow can be seen through the smoothtop surface. The element will cycle on and off to
maintain the preset heat setting, even on Hi.
Formore informationon cookware, refer to Cookware
Recommendations on page 6.
Tips to Protect the Smoothtop Surface
Cleaning (see page 7 for more information:)
, Before first use, clean the cooktop. , Clean your cooktop daily or after each use. This will keep
your cooktop looking good and can prevent damage.
, If a spillover occurs while cooking, immediatelyclean the
spill from the cooking area while it is hot to prevent atough 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 for a long period of time.
, Never use abrasive cleansing powders or scouring pads
which will scratch the cooktop.
, Never use chlorine bleach, ammonia or other cleansers not
specifically recommended for use on glass-ceramic.
To Prevent Marks & Scratches
, Do not use glass pans. They may scratch the surface. , Never place a trivet or wok ring between the surface and
pan. These items can mark or etch the top.
, Do not slide aluminum pans across a hot surface. The pans
may leave marks which need to be removed promptly. (See Cleaning, page 7.:)
, Make sure the surface and the pan bottom are clean 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 slide heavy metal pans across the surface since these
may scratch.
To Prevent Stains
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 isheated.
, Continuously cooking on a soiled surface may/will result in a
permanent stain.
To Prevent Other Damage
, 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 70 Never let a pan boil dry as this will damage the surface and
pan.
Never use cooktop as a work surface or cutting board. Never cook food directly on the surface.
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-flat specialty itemsthat are oversized or
uneven such as round bottom woks, rippled bottom and/or oversized canners and griddles.
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.
Cookware Recommendations
Using the right cookware can prevent many problems, such asfood taking longer to cook or achieving inconsistent
results. Proper pans will reduce cooking times, use less energy, and cook food more evenly.

Fiat Pan Tests
See if your pans are fiat.
The Ruler Test:
1. Place a ruler across the bottom of the pan.
2. Hold it up to the light.
3. Little or no light should be visible under the ruler.
The Bubble Test:
1. Put 1 inchof water in the pan. Place on cooktop and turn element knob to Hi.
2. Watch the formation of the bubbles asthe water heats. Uniform bubbles mean good performance, and uneven
bubbles indicate hot spots and uneven cooking.
Flat,smooth-bottom Panswith grooved or warped bottoms. pans. Panswith uneven bottoms do not cook
efficiently and sometimes may not boil liquid.
Heavy-gauge pans. Very thin-gauge metal or glass pans. Pansthat are the Panssmaller or larger than the
same size as the element by 1 inch. element.
Secure handles. Cookware with loose or broken handles.
Heavy handles that tilt the pan. Tight-fitting lids. Loose-fitting lids. Flat bottom woks. Woks with a ring-stand bottom.
Canning and Oversize Cookware
All canners and large pots must have fiat bottoms and must be made from heavy=gauge materials. This is critical
on smoothtop surfaces. The base must not be more than
1" larger than the element.
When canners and pots do not meet these standards, cooking times may be longer,and cooktops may be damaged.
Some canners are designed with smaller bases for use on smoothtop surfaces.
When canning, use the Hi heat setting only until the water comes to a boil or pressure is reached in the canner.
Reduce to the lowest heat setting that maintains the boil or pressure. If the heat is not turned down, the cooktop may be
damaged.
Wok Cooking
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 1-800-JENNAIR ([1-800-536-6247).
Ventilation System
The built-in ventilation system removes cooking vapors, odors and smoke from foods prepared on your cooktop.
The pop-up fan control is located at the front of the air grille. To operate
the ventilation system, push the knob down to pop itup. Turn the
knob clockwise until it stops for low fan speed. The fan can be set at any
speed between low and high by turning the knob counter-clockwise
toward the OFFposition.
, The fan can be used to remove strong odors from the
kitchen aswhen chopping onions near the fan.
Care and Cleaning of the Ventilation System
, Air Grille: Set the fan control knob in the DOWN
position. Lift the air grille off by grasping the opening at
the rear of the grille. Wipe clean or wash in the dishwasher or sink with mild household detergents. To prevent
scratching the surface, do not use abrasive cleaners or scrubbing pads.
, Pop=up Knob: With knob in the DOWN position, remove
the air grille Place the knob in the UP position Wipe knob with a clean cloth and soap and water. Rinse and dry.

filter is a permanent type and should be cleaned when soiled. Clean in sink with warm water and detergent or in
dishwasher.
iMPORTANT: DO NOT OPERATE SYSTEMWITHOUT FILTER.Filter should always be placed at an angle. As you
face the front of the cooktop, the bottom of the filter should rest on the ledge on the right side. The top of the filter
should rest against the left side. There are also ledges on the front and rear sides for the filter to rest.
Note: If filter isflat against the fan wall, ventilation effectiveness isreduced.
[
Ventilation Chamber: This area,which
houses the filter, should be cleaned in
the event of spills or whenever it
becomes coated with a film of grease. It
can be cleaned with paper towel, damp cloth, or sponge and mild household
detergent or cleanser.
