About Your Appliance

WARNING

NEVER use appliance as a step to reach cabinets above. Misuse of appliance door, such as stepping, leaning or sitting on the door, may result in possible tipping of the appliance, breakage of the door and serious injuries.

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. Also, do not use the oven as a storage area for food or cooking utensils.

Do not obstruct the flow of air by blocking the oven vent.

DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR SURFACES OF OVEN. Heating elements may be hot even though they are dark in color. Interior surfaces of any oven become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials contact heating elements or interior surfaces of oven until they have had sufficient time to cool. Other surfaces of the appliance may become hot enough to cause burns – among these surfaces are: oven vent opening and surface near this opening, oven door and window of oven door.

Do not touch a hot oven light bulb with a damp cloth as the bulb could break. Should the bulb break, disconnect power to the appliance before removing bulb to avoid electrical shock.

NEVER use aluminum foil to cover an oven rack or oven bottom. Misuse could result in risk of electric shock, fire, or damage to the appliance. Use foil only as directed in this guide.

Cooking Safety

Never heat an unopened food container in the oven. Pressure build-up may cause container to burst resulting in serious personal injury or damage to the appliance.

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 hangingsleeved apparel should not be worn while cooking. Clothing may ignite and cause burns if garment comes in contact with heating elements.

Always place oven racks in the desired positions while oven is cool. Slide oven rack out to add or remove food, using dry, sturdy potholders. Always avoid reaching into the oven to add or remove food. If a rack must be moved while hot, use a dry potholder. Do not let potholder contact hot element in oven.

purchased.

Cont.

2

Use care when opening the oven door. Let hot air or steam escape before removing or replacing food.

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.

Do not allow aluminum foil or meat probe to contact heating element.

Always turn off all controls when cooking is completed.

Deep Fat Fryers

Use extreme caution when moving the grease pan or disposing of hot grease. Allow grease to cool before attempting to move pan.

Ventilating Hoods

Clean range hood and filters frequently to prevent grease or other flammable materials from accumulating on hood or filter and to avoid grease fires.

When flaming foods under the hood, turn the fan on.

Utensil Safety

Follow the manufacturer’s directions when using oven cooking bags.

This appliance has been tested for safe performance using conventional cookware. Do not use any devices or accessories that are not specifically recommended in this guide. Do not use add-on oven convection systems. The use of devices or accessories that are not expressly recommended in this guide can create serious safety hazards, result in performance problems, and reduce the life of the components of the appliance.

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 or oven 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.

Cooktop

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.

GLASS-CERAMIC SURFACE: NEVER cook on broken cooktop. If cooktop should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately.

Cleaning Safety

Clean cooktop with caution. Turn off all controls and wait for appliance parts to cool before touching or cleaning. Use care to avoid steam burns if a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot surface. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.

Clean only parts listed in this guide.

Self-Clean Oven

CAUTION

Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the oven racks, broiler pan, food and any other utensils. Wipe spillovers to prevent excessive smoke and flare-ups.

Do not clean door gasket. The door gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage, or move the gasket.

Do not use oven cleaners or oven liners of any kind in or around any part of the self-clean oven.

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 of this appliance are hereby warned that when the oven is engaged in the self-clean cycle, there may be some low-level exposure to some of the listed substances, including carbon monoxide. Exposure to

these substances can be minimized by properly venting the oven to the outdoors by opening the windows and/ or door in the room where the appliance is located during the self-clean cycle.

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.

Save These Instructions for Future Reference

DUCTING INFORMATION

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 1/4” x 10” rectangular ducting should be used for duct lengths 10’-60’.

Important: 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 MUST be 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 questions should be addressed first by the installer. The installer should very carefully check the ducting installation instructions.

• Use the Flow Tester Card provided with your appliance to check the air flow.

CARE & CLEANING

Self-Clean Oven

CAUTION

It is normal for parts of the oven to become hot during a self-clean cycle.

To prevent damage to oven door, do not attempt to open the door when LOCK is displayed.

Avoid touching door, window or oven vent area during a clean cycle.

Do not use commercial oven cleaners on the oven finish or around any part of the oven. They will damage the finish or parts.

The self-clean cycle uses above-normal cooking temperatures to automatically clean the oven interior.

It is normal for flare-ups, smoking, or flaming to occur during cleaning if the oven is heavily soiled. It is better to clean

the oven regularly rather than to wait until there is a heavy build-up of soil in the oven.

During the cleaning process, the kitchen should be well ventilated to get rid of normal odors associated with cleaning.

Before Self-Cleaning

1.Turn off the oven light before cleaning. The oven light may burn out during the clean cycle.

2.Remove broiler pan, all pans, and oven racks from the oven. The oven racks will discolor and may not slide easily after a self-clean cycle if they are not removed. Important: Remove the air grille from the cooking surface before self-cleaning.

3.Clean oven frame, door frame, area outside of gasket, and around the opening in the door gasket with a nonabrasive cleaner such as Bon Ami* or detergent and water. The self-cleaning process does not clean these areas. They should be cleaned to prevent soil from baking on during the clean cycle. (The gasket is the seal around the oven door and window.)

4.To prevent damage, do not clean

or rub the gasket around the oven door. The gasket is designed to seal in heat during the clean cycle.

5.Wipe up excess grease or spill-overs from the oven bottom. This prevents excessive smoking,

flare-ups or flaming during the clean cycle.

6.Wipe up sugary and acidic spillovers such as sweet potatoes, tomato, or milk-based sauces. Porcelain enamel is acid-resistant, not acid-proof. The porcelain finish may

discolor if acidic or sugary spills are not wiped up before a self-clean cycle.

To set Self-Clean:

1.Press Clean pad.

2.REMOVE RACKS will be displayed. Remove the racks.

3.Select CONTINUE using the Quickset pad. The Quickset pads are located on either side of the control panel display.

4.Set LIGHT soil level by entering 200 using the number pads for two hours of cleaning time. Select MEDIUM soil level using the Quickset pads.

OR

Select HEAVY for a heavily soiled oven and four hours of cleaning time.

5.CLEAN, TIME, LOCKED and the cleaning time countdown will be displayed while the oven is cleaning. OVEN COOLING will appear in the display when the cleaning time has been completed and the oven is still locked.

Important: The door lock will disengage approximately one hour after the cleaning time is completed. OVEN COOLING will go off in the display when the oven door has unlocked.

To Delay a Self-Clean Cycle:

1. Press Clean pad.

2.REMOVE RACKS will be displayed. Remove the racks.

3.Select CONTINUE using the Quickset pad.

4.Set LIGHT soil level by entering 200 using the number pads for two hours of cleaning time. Select MEDIUM soil level using the Quickset pads.

OR

Select HEAVY for a heavily soiled oven and four hours of cleaning time.

5.The door will lock. CLEAN, TIME, LOCKED and the cleaning time countdown will be displayed

6.After door locks, press the More Options pad.

7.Select DELAY using the Quickset pad.

8.Select the number of hours you want to delay the start of the self-clean cycle.

9.The delay time and cleaning time will be displayed.

* Brand names for cleaning products are registered trademarks of the respective manufacturers.

5

After Self-Cleaning

About one hour after the end of the clean cycle, the lock will disengage and OVEN COOLING will go off in the display. At this point, the door can be opened.

Some soil may leave a light gray, powdery ash which can be removed with a damp cloth. If soil remains, it indicates that the clean cycle was not long enough. The soil will be removed during the next clean cycle.

If the oven racks were left in the oven and do not slide smoothly after a clean cycle, wipe racks and embossed rack supports with a small amount of vegetable oil to restore ease of movement.

A white discoloration may appear after cleaning if acidic or sugary foods were not wiped up before the clean cycle. This is normal and will NOT affect performance.

Notes:

If the oven door is left open, CLOSE DOOR will appear in the display until the door is closed.

If more than 30 seconds elapse between pressing the Clean pad and pressing a number pad, the program will automatically return to the previous display.

The oven door will be damaged if it is forced to open during cleaning or cooling process.

The first few times the oven is cleaned, some smoke and odor may be detected. This is normal and will lessen or disappear with use. If the oven is heavily soiled, or if the broiler pan was accidently left in the oven, excessive smoke and odor may occur.

As the oven heats and cools, you may hear sounds of metal parts expanding and contracting. This is normal and will not damage your appliance.

Cleaning Procedures

CAUTION

Setting the Controls

1.Place pan on surface element.

2.Push in and turn the knob in either direction to the desired heat setting.

The control panel is marked to identify which element the knob controls. For example, the graphic at right indicates right front element.

3.There is an element indicator light on the control panel. When any surface control knob is turned on, the light will turn on. The light will turn off when all the surface elements are turned off.

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 High.

4.After cooking, turn knob to OFF. Remove pan.

Setting the controls for grilling:

Knob A - Exhaust fan only. Knob will not operate the grill element.

Knob B - Exhaust fan and grill element.

Setting the controls for cartridges:

Knob A - Left front element. Knob B - Left rear element.

Suggested Heat Settings

The size, type of cookware and cooking operation will affect the heat setting.

High (9): Use to bring liquid to a boil. Always reduce setting to a lower heat when liquids begin to boil or foods begin to cook.

Low (1): Use to keep foods warm and melt chocolate and butter.

operations.

 

 

 

 

CAUTION

BEFORE COOKING

Always place a pan on the surface unit before you turn it on. To prevent damage to range, never operate surface unit without a pan in place.

NEVER use the cooktop as a storage area for food or cookware.

DURING COOKING

Be sure you know which knob controls which surface unit. Make sure you turned on the correct surface unit.

Begin cooking on a higher heat setting then reduce to a lower setting to complete the operation. Never use a high heat setting for extended cooking.

NEVER allow a pan to boil dry. This could damage the pan and the appliance.

NEVER touch cooktop until it has cooled. Expect some parts of the cooktop, especially around the surface units, to become warm or hot during cooking. Use potholders to protect hands.

AFTER COOKING

Make sure surface unit is turned off.

Clean up messy spills as soon as possible.

OTHER TIPS

If cabinet storage is provided directly above cooking surface, limit it to items that are infrequently used and can be safely stored in an area subjected to heat. Temperatures may be unsafe for items such as volatile liquids, cleaners or aerosol sprays.

NEVER leave any items, especially plastic items, on the cooktop. The hot air from the vent may ignite flammable items, melt or soften plastics, or increase pressure in closed containers, causing them to burst.

NEVER allow aluminum foil, meat probes or any other metal object, other than a pan on a surface element, to contact heating elements.

NEVER store heavy items above the cooktop that could fall and damage it.

12

Cooktop Cartridge Installation

Cooktop cartridges, either conventional coil or radiant element, can be installed on either side of the range. (See page 33 for all available cartridges and accessories, and their model numbers.)

To Install Cartridges:

1.If the grill grates, element, and/or basin pan are in place, remove before installing a cooktop cartridge. Clean porcelain basin of any grease accumulation. (See page 8 for cleaning recommendations.)

2.To install any of the optional cooktop cartridges, be sure controls are turned off and the cartridge is cool. Position the cartridge terminal plug toward the terminal receptacle. This receptacle is located at the front of the left side and at the back of the right side of the range.

3.Slide the cartridge toward the receptacle until the cartridge terminal plug is completely engaged.

4.Lower the opposite end of the cartridge into the rangetop until it is flush with the surface. Your range is now ready to use.

To Remove Cartridges:

1.Controls must be off and the cartridge should be cool.

2.Lift up the edge of the cartridge until top of cartridge clears the opening on the range by about 2 inches. Important: Lifting the cartridge too high while still engaged in the receptacle could damage the terminal plug.

3.To disengage terminal, hold cartridge by the sides and pull away from the terminal receptacle. Lift out when fully unplugged.

4.Do not stack cartridges where they may fall or be damaged. Never store other materials on top of the glassceramic cartridges since this could damage or scratch the surface.

Home Canning

Canning should be done on the conventional coil cartridge only. Canning element accessory, Model A145A, makes it possible to use large oversized canners with the conventional coil cartridge.

For additional information, refer to the Use and Care Guide packaged with your cartridge.

Grill Installation

The grill accessory consists of two black grill grates, a grill element and a basin pan. It may be installed on the left side of the cooktop only.

To Install Grill:

1.Before installing grill components, be certain controls are off.

2.Place the basin pan into the empty basin.

3.Position the grill element with the terminal plug toward the terminal receptacle. This receptacle is located at the front of the left side of the range. Slide the element toward the receptacle until the terminal plug is completely engaged and supports rest on the sides of the basin.

4. Place the grill grates on the top of the cooktop.

To Remove Grill:

1.Be sure controls are off. Remove grill components when they are cool.

2.To remove grill element, pull away from receptacle until it is unplugged. Important: Lifting the element more than 2 inches above the cooktop surface while it is engaged in the receptacle could damage the terminal plug.

13

Using the Grill

Before the first use, wash your new grill grates in hot soapy water, rinse and dry. Then “season” the surface by wiping on a thin coating of cooking oil. Remove excess oil by wiping with paper towel.

This procedure should be repeated when either:

a)cleaning in the dishwasher since the detergent may remove seasoning or

b)anytime a sugar-based marinade (for example, barbecue sauce) is going to be used.

Preheat the grill on High for 5 minutes. Preheating improves the flavor and appearance of meats and quickly sears the meat to help retain the juices.

Use nonmetallic spatulas or utensils to prevent damaging the nonstick grill grate finish.

Excessive amounts of fat should be trimmed from meats.

Only a normal amount is necessary to produce the smoke needed for that smoked, “outdoor” flavor. Excessive fat can create cleaning and flare-up problems.

Allowing excessive amounts of grease or drippings to constantly flare-up voids the warranty on the grill grates.

Excessive flare-ups indicate that either the grill interior needs to be cleaned, that excessive amounts of fat are in the meat or the meat was not properly trimmed.

Grease drippings will occasionally ignite to produce harmless puffs of flame for a second or two. This is a normal part of the cooking process. Important: For information on the grease cup, see page 8.

NEVER LEAVE GRILL UNATTENDED DURING GRILL OPERATION.

Should excess grease cause sustained flare-ups:

1.Turn on the fan manually.

2.Immediately turn grill controls to OFF.

3.Remove meat from grill.

Notes:

• Do not use aluminum foil inside the grill area.

• Do not use charcoal or wood chips in the grill area.

• Do not allow grill basin pan to become overloaded with grease. Clean frequently.

Do not cover grates completely with meat. Leave air space between each steak, etc. to allow proper ventilation as well as prevent flare-ups.

Grilling Tips

Be sure to follow directions for using the grill.

Suggested cooking times and control settings (see page 15) are approximate due to variations in the foods and electrical voltage.

For best results, buy top grade meat. Meat that is at least 3/4 inch will grill better than thinner cuts.

Score fat on edges of steak, but do not cut into meat, to prevent curling while cooking.

For the attractive “branded” look on steaks, be sure grill is preheated. Allow one side of meat to cook to desired doneness, or until juices appear on the top surface, before turning. Turn steaks and hamburgers just once. Manipulating food causes loss of juices.

When basting meats or applying sauces to foods, remember that excessive amounts accumulate inside your grill and do not improve the food flavor.

Apply sauces during the last 15 to 20 minutes of cooking time unless recipe specifies otherwise. Plus, anytime a sugar-based marinade (for example barbecue sauce) is going to be used, the grates should be “seasoned” prior to preheating. (See Using the Grill section.)

There are many meat marinades which will help tenderize less expensive cuts of meat for cooking on the grill.

Certain foods, such as poultry and non-oily fish, may need some extra fat. Brush with oil or melted butter occasionally while grilling.

Use tongs with long handles or spatulas for turning meats. Do not use forks as these pierce the meat, allowing juices to be lost.

Ventilation System

The built-in ventilation system removes cooking vapors, odors and smoke from foods prepared on your cooktop and grill.

• To operate the ventilation

 

system manually, push the

 

Vent Fan pad located on the

 

electronic control. Push once

 

for Low, push again for High

 

and a third time to turn the

 

fan Off.

 

The ventilation system will operate automatically when the grill element is in use.

The fan can be used to remove strong odors from the kitchen, as when chopping onions near the fan.

Cont.

14

Care and Cleaning of the

Ventilation System

Air Grille: The air grille lifts off easily. Wipe clean or wash in dishwasher or sink with mild household detergents. To prevent scratching the surface, do not use abrasive cleaners or scrubbing pads.

Filter: Turn off ventilation system before removing. The 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 SYSTEM WITHOUT FILTER. Filter should always be placed at an angle. As you face the front of the range, the top of the filter should rest against the left side of the vent opening. The bottom should rest against the right side of the vent chamber at the bottom. Important: If filter is flat against the fan wall, ventilation effectiveness is reduced.

AIR FILTER

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.

Important: The oven vent is located under the right side of the air grille. When using or cleaning the oven, hot and moist air may be noticed in this area. The area near the vent may become hot enough to cause burns. Be careful not to spill anything into this vent. The air grille must be removed before the self-clean cycle.

Tips to Protect the Smoothtop Cartridge 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, 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.

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 is heated.

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 7.)

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 items that 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 as food taking longer to cook or achieving inconsistent results. Proper pans will reduce cooking times, use less energy, and cook food more evenly.

Flat Pan Tests

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 inch of water in the pan. Place on cooktop and turn control to High.

2.Watch the formation of the bubbles as the water heats. Uniform bubbles mean good performance, and uneven bubbles indicate hot spots and uneven cooking.

Canning and Oversize Cookware

All canners and large pots must have flat bottoms and must be made from heavy-gauge materials. This is critical on smoothtop surfaces. The base must not be more than

1 inch 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 High 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.

Convect (select models)

Convection uses a fan to circulate hot air evenly over, under and around the food. As a result, foods are evenly cooked and browned, often in shorter times, at lower temperatures and with the flexibility of using more than one rack at a time.

Notes:

The oven control comes from the factory set for Auto Convect Conversion (select models). When using Convect Bake and Convect Pastry enter the conventional baking temperature. The control automatically converts the temperature to 25° less than the conventional temperature.

For Convect Roast, enter the conventional roasting temperature and time. The control then lets you know when 75% of the time has elapsed and alerts you to check the food for doneness.

To turn Auto Convect Conversion (select models) off, see page 30.

Convect Options (select models)

Cook & Hold (select models) and Delay options are available when convect cooking. See page 25 for information on how to program a Cook & Hold (select models) or Delay option.

10.Remove the probe from the oven receptacle. The probe will be hot. Hold probe plug with an oven mitt or potholder when removing from the oven.

Notes:

The probe must be removed from the oven when it is not being used.

Because of the excellent insulation of the oven, the retained heat continues to cook the food after the beep has sounded and the oven has turned off. For this reason, it is important to remove the food from the oven as soon as the beep sounds.

Use the handle of the probe for inserting or removing.

Do not pull on the cable.

The probe is hot after cooking – use a potholder or oven mitt to remove.

To protect the probe, if meat is not completely thawed, insert probe after 1-2 hours of roasting.

To clean cooled probe, wipe with a soapy dishcloth.

Do not submerge probe in water or wash in dishwasher.

Drying (select models)

For best results, use a drying rack. A drying rack allows air to circulate evenly around the food.

The convection fan will operate during the drying procedure.

To set Drying:

1.The oven door needs to be opened slightly to allow moisture to escape from the oven during the drying process.

Open the oven door slightly.

Place the magnetic door spacer (Part No. 8010P146-60) over the plunger switch at the upper right side of the oven frame. The spacer provides a gap between the oven frame and the oven door to allow moisture to escape.

Gently close the door until the spacer magnet makes contact with the oven door. The magnet will hold the spacer in the proper position during the drying process and allows the door to be opened at any time during drying without losing proper positioning.

Important: If the spacer is not placed correctly, the convection fan will not operate.

2. Press Convect pad.

3.Press the arrow to scroll.

4.Select DRYING.

5.Select a displayed temperature or enter a temperature with the number pads. Temperatures can be set between

100° F and 200° F.

6.DRYING and the temperature will be displayed. PREHEAT will be displayed until the programmed temperature is reached.

7.When drying is complete, remove food from oven and press CANCEL pad.

Follow the Drying Guide on page 27 for drying times. Check foods at minimum times given. Cool foods to room temperature before testing for doneness.

Notes:

To purchase a drying rack, contact your Jenn-Air dealer for the “DRYINGRACK” Accessory Kit or call 1-800-JENNAIR (1-800-536-6247).

Most fruits and vegetables dry well and retain their color when dried at 140° F. Meat and jerky should be dried at 145° - 150° F. For optimal flavor, dry herbs at 100° F, however, at this lower temperature expect extended drying times of up to 8 hours.

The length of drying times vary due to the following: Water and sugar content of food, size of food pieces, amount of food being dried, humidity in the air.

Check foods at the minimum drying time. Dry longer if necessary.

Fruits that turn brown when exposed to air should be treated with an antioxidant. Try one of the following methods:

1.Dip fruit in a mixture of two parts bottled lemon juice to one part cool water.

2.Soak fruit in a solution of 1 tsp. ascorbic acid or commercial antioxidant to 1 quart of cold water.

Foods may drip during the drying process. After drying high acid or sugary foods, clean the oven bottom with soap and water. The porcelain oven finish may discolor if acidic or sugary food soils are not wiped up prior to high heat or a self-cleaning cycle.

More than one rack of food may be dried at the same time. However, additional drying time is needed.

Refer to other resources at your local library or call your local County Extension service for additional information.
