To PREVENT FH E OR
S ' OKE Di ' A(;E
Be sure all packing materials are removed
from the appliancebefore operating it.
Keep area around appliance dear and free
from combustible materials, gasoline, and
other flammable vapors and materials.
If appliance is installed near a window,
proper precautionsshould betakento pre-
vent curtains from blowing over burners.
NEVER leaveany items on the cod<top.
The hot air may igniteflammableitems and
mayincreasepressure in closed containers
which may causethem to burst.
Manyaerosol-type spraycansare EXPLO-
SIVEwhen exposed to heat and may be
highlyflammable.Avoid their useor storage
near an appliance.
Many plasticsare vulnerable to heat.Keep
plastics away from parts of the appliance
that may become warm or hot. Do not
leaveplastic items on the cod<top asthey
may melt or soften if left too close to a
lighted surface burner.
To eliminate the hazard of reachingover
hot surfaceburners, cabinetstorage should
not be provided directly above a unit. If
storage is provided, it should be limited to
itemswhich areusedinfrequentlyandwhich
are safelystored in an area subjected to
heatfrom anappliance.Temperatures may
be unsafefor some items, suchasvolatile
liquids, cleaners or aerosol sprays.
A faint gasodor mayindicate agasleak.If a
gasodor is detected, shut off gassupplyto
the cooktop. Callyour installer or localgas
companyto havethe possiblelea[<checked.
Never use a match or other flame to
locate a gas leak.
IN CASE OF FH E
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 panwith a lid
or cookie sheet.
NEVER pick up or move a flaming pan.
Do not use water on grease fires. Use
baking soda, a dry chemical or foam-type
extinguisher to smother fire or flame.
CHILD SAFETY
NEVER leave children alone or unsuper-
vised near the appliance when it isin use or
is still hot.
NEVER allow children to sit or stand on
anypart of the applianceasthey could be
injured or burned.
Children must be taughtthat the appliance
andutensilson it canbe hot.Lethot utensils
coo[ in a safeplace, out of reach of small
children. Children shouldbe taught that an
applianceis not a toy. Children shouldnot
be allowed to play with controls or other
parts of the unit.
CAUTION: NEVER store items of in-
terest to children in cabinets above an
appliance.Children climbing on the appli-
ance to reach items could be seriously
injured.
ABOUT YOUR
NEVER use appliance asa space heater to
heat or warm a room to prevent potential
hazard to the user and damage to the
appliance. Also, do not use the cooktop as
astorage area for food or cooking utensils.
Do not obstruct the flow of combustion
and ventilation air by blocking the air in-
takes. Restriction of air flow to the burner
prevents proper performance and increases
carbon monoxide emission to unsafe levels.
Potentially hot surfaces include cooktop
and areas facing the cooktop.
COOKING SAFETY
Always place a pan on a surface burner
before turning it on. Be sure you know
which knob controls which surface burner.
Make sure the correct burner isturned on
and that the burner has ignited. When
cooking is completed, turn burner off be-
fore removing pan to prevent exposure to
burner flame.
Always adjust surface burner flame so that
it does not extend beyond the bottom edge
ofthe pan. An excessive flame ishazardous,
wastes energy and may damage the appli-
ance, pan or cabinets above the appliance.
N EVER leave a surface cooking operation
unattended especially when using a high
heat setting or when deep fat frying.
Boilovers cause smoking and greasy
spillovers may ignite. Clean up greasy spills
as soon as possible. Do not use high heat for
extended cooking operations.
NEVER heat an unopened container on
the surface burner. Pressure build-up may
cause container to burst resulting in seri-
ous personal injury or damage to the appli-
ance.
Use dry, sturdy potholders. Damp pot-
holders may cause burns from steam.
Dishtowels or other substitutes should
never be used as potholders because they
can trail across hot surface burners and
ignite or get caught on appliance parts.
Always let quantities of hot fat used for
deep fat frying cool before attempting to
move or handle.
Do not let cooking grease or other flam-
mable materials accumulate in or near the
cooktop. Clean frequently to prevent grease
from accumulating.
NEVER wear garments made of flam-
mable material or loose fitting or long-
sleeved apparel while cooking. Clothing
may ignite or catch utensil handles.
Do not use aluminum foil to line burner
basin. Restriction of normal air flow may
result in unsafe operation.
UTENSIL SAFETY
Use pans with flat bottoms and handles that
are easily grasped and staycoo[.Avoid using
unstable, warped, easily tipped or loose-
handled pans. Also avoid using pans, espe-
ciallysmall pans, with heavy handles as they
could be unstable and easily tip. Pans that
are heavy to move when filled with food
may also be hazardous.
Be sure utensil islarge enoughto properly
contain food and avoidboilovers. Pan sizeis
particularly important in deep fat frying. Be
sure pan will accommodate the volume of
food that isto be added as well asthe bubble
action of fat.
To minimize burns, ignition of flammable
materials and spillage due to unintentional
contact with the utensil, do not extend
handles over adjacent surface burners. Al-
ways turn pan handles toward the side or
back of the appliance, not out into the room
where theyare easilyhitor reachedby small
children.
Never let a pan boil dry as this could damage
the utensil and the appliance.
I PORTANT SAFETY [NSTRUCTXONS, CONTo
Only certain types of glass,gJass/ceramic,
ceramic or glazedutensils are suitable for
cooktop usagewithout breaking dueto the
sudden change in temperature. Follow
manufacturer's instructions when using
glass.
This appliance has been tested for safe
performanceusingconventional cool<ware.
Do not useanydevicesor accessoriesthat
are not specificallyrecommended in this
guide. Do not use eyelid covers for the
surfaceunits or stovetop grills. The use of
devices or accessories that are not ex-
pressly recommended in this manualcan
create serious safetyhazards,result in per-
formance problems, and reduce the life of
the components of the appliance.
CLEANING SAFETY
Turn off all controls andwait for appliance
parts to cool before touching or cleaning
them. Do not touch the burner grates or
surrounding areas until they have had suffi-
cient time to cool.
Clean appliance with caution. Use care to
avoid steam burns ira wet sponge or cloth
is used to wipe spills on a hot surface. Some
cleaners can produce noxious fumes ifap-
plied to a hot surface.
_NIPORTANT SAFETY
NOT CE AND
The California Safe Drinking Water and
Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986(Proposi-
tion 65) requires the Governor of Califor-
niato publish alist of substancesknown to
the State of California to causecancer or
reproductive harm,andrequires businesses
to warn customers of potential exposures
to suchsubstances.
Usersof this applianceare hereby warned
that the burning of gascan result in low-
level exposure to some of the listed sub-
stances,including benzene, formaldehyde
and soot, due primarily to the incomplete
combustion of natural gasor liquid petro-
leum (LP) fuels. Properly adjusted burners
will minimize incomplete combustion. Ex-
posure to these substances can also be
minimized byproperly ventingthe burners
to the outdoors.
IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING
PET BIRDS: Never keep pet birds in the
kitchen or in rooms where the fumes from
the kitchen could reach. Birds havea very
sensitive respiratory system. Fumes re-
leased during an oven self-cleaningcycle
may be harmful or fatal to birds. Fumes
releaseddueto overheated cookingoil, fat,
margarineandoverheated non-stick cool<-
ware may beequally harmful.

[ )UCTING INFOR. %ATION ]
Jenn-Air's ventilation systemisdesignedm
capture both cooking fumes and smoke
from the cooktop surface. If the system
does not, these are some ducting installa-
tion situations to check:
• 6" diameter round or 3 I/4"x I0" rectan-
gular ducting should be used for duct
lengths I0'-60'.Note: 5" diameter round
ducting may be used if the duct length
is 10' or less.
• No more than three 90° elbows should
beused.Distancebetween 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.
Ifthere is notan obvious improper installa-
tion, there may be a concealed problem
such as a pinched joint, obstruction in the
pipe, etc. Installation isthe responsibility of
the installer and questions should be ad-
dressed first by the installer.The installer
should very carefully check the ducting
installationinstructions.
• Use the Flow Tester Card provided with
your applianceto checkthe air flow.

CA UTION$:
, If flame should go out during a cook-
qgoperatJon,turn the burner off. Ifa
strong gas odor is detected, open a
window andwait five minutes before
relighting the burner.
• Besure all surfacecontrols are setto
the OFF position prior to supplying
gasto the cooktop.
, NEVER touch cooktop until it has
cooled. Expect some Darts of the
cool<top,especiallyaround the burn-
ers. to become warm or hot during
cooking, Use potholders to protect
hands.
PILOTLESS IGNITION
knobs can be set on or between any of the
settings.
SETTING THE
I. Place a pan on the burner grate. (To
preserve the grate finish, do not operate
the burners without a pan on the grate to
absorb the heat from the burner flame.)
2. Push in knob and turn immediately coun-
terclockwise to the Ute setting until
burner ignites.
• A dM<ing (spark) sound wifl be heard
and the burner will light. Allignitors on
the JDG8130 will spark when any sur-
face burner knob is turned to the Ute
position. On the JGD8345, the grill
burner and center bay burners will
spark when the grill or any center bay
burner is lit. Both of the right hand bay
burners will spark when either one is
lit.
3. After ignition, turn knob clockwise to
desired setting.
• The ignitor will continue to spark
until the knob is turned pastthe
Lite position.
OPERATING DURING A
POWER FAILURE
I. Hold a lighted match to the desired
surface burner head.
2. Push inand turn the control knob slowly
to Ute.
3. Adjust the flame to the desired level.
, When lighting the surface burners,be
sure a!!of the contro!s arein the OFF
positi0n, Strike the match first and
ho!d it in positi°n before turning the
knob to Ute,
Pilotless ignition eliminates the need for a
constant standing pilot light. Each surface
burner has a spark ignitor. When cleaning
around the surface burner use care. If
cleaning cloth should catch the ignitor, it
could damage it preventing ignition.
Ifthe surface burner does not light, check if
ignitor is broken, soiled or wet. Ifclogged,
clean the smafl port beneath the ignitor
using straight pin.

[ COOKTOP ]
To prevent the cooktop from discol-
oring or staining:
y CONTo
• Clean cool<top after each use.
• Wipe acidic or sugary spillsas soon
as the cooktop has cooled as these
spills may discolor the porcelain.
SEALED BURNERS
The sealed burners of your cooktop are
secured to the cool<top and are not de-
signedto be removed. Since the burners
are sealedinto the cooktop, boilovers or
spillswill not seepunderneath thecool<top.
However, the burner heads should be
cleaned after each use. (See page 9 for
cleaningdirections.)
BURNER GRATES
The grates must be properly positioned
before cooking. Improper installation of
the grates may result in chipping of the
cool<top.
natural gas,the flame will be bluewith a deeper blue inner cone.
Ifthe burner flameisyellow or is noisy,the air/gasmixture maybe incorrect. Contact
a service technician to adiust. (Adiustments are not covered by the warranty.)
With LP gas,some yellow tips on the flames are acceptable. This is normal and
adiustment is not necessary.
• With some types of gas,you may heara "popping" sound when the surfaceburner
isturned off. This is a normal operating sound of the burner.
• If the control [<nobis turned very quickly from hi to [o, the flame may go out,
particularly if the burner is cold. If this occurs, turn the [<nobto the OFF position,
wait several seconds and re[ight the burner.
• To improve cookingefficiencyandto prevent possibledamageto the cooktop or pan,
the flamemust be adjusted so it does not extend beyond the edge of the pan.
Do not operate the burners without a
pan on the grate. The grate's porce-
lain finish may chip without a pan to
absorb the heat from the burner flame.
Although the burner grates are durable,
they will gradually lose their shine andlor
discolor, due to the high temperatures of
the gas flame.

• Before the first use,wash grill grates in
hot soapy water, rinse and dry. Then
"season" the surfacebywiping on athin
coating of cooking oil. Remove excess
oil by wiping with papertowel.
This procedure should be repeated when
either: a) cleaning in the dishwasher
since the detergent may remove sea-
soning or b) anytime a sugar-based
marinade (for example, barbecue sauce)
is going to be used.
• Preheat the grill on Hi for 5 minutes.
Preheating improves the flavor and ap-
pearance of meats and quickly sears the

3. Removemeat from grill.
iMPORTANT
• Do not use aluminum foil inside the
grill area.
• Do not use charcoal or wood chips in
the grill area.
• Do not allow burner basin to become
overloaded with grease. Clean fre-
quently.
• Do not cover grates
completely with meat.
Leave air space be-
tween each steak
etc. to allow
proper ventila-
tion as well as
prevent flare-
ups.
GRILLING TIPS
• Besure to follow directions for using the
grill.
• Suggested cooking times and control
settings (see Grill guide, pg. 8) are ap-
proximate due to variations in the foods.
• 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 steal<, 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 cool< 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 bar-
becue 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 juicesto
be lost.
[ VENTILAT[ON SYSTEiN [
The built-in ventilation system removes
cooking vapors, odors and smoke from
foods prepared on your cool<top and grill.

odors from the kitchen as when chop-
ping onions near the fan.
CARE AND CLEANING OF THE
VENTILATION SYSTEM
• Air Grille: The air grille lifts off easily.
Wipe cleanor wash indishwasheror sink

gent or in dishwasher.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT OPERATESYS-
TEM WITHOUT FILTER.Filter should al-
ways be placed at an angle.As you face
the front of the cool<top, the top of the
filter should rest againstthe left side of
the vent opening. The bottom should
rest against the right side of the vent
chamber at the bottom. (Note: If filter
isflat against the fan wall, ventilation
effectivenessis reduced.)
• Ventilation Chamber: Thisarea,which
