result of improper usage of the appliance. Use appliance
only for its intended purpose as described in this guide.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
To Prevent Fire or
Smoke Damage
NEVER leave any items on the cooktop. The hot air
may ignite flammable items and may increase
pressure in close d containers which may caus e them
to burst.
Be sure all packing materials are removed from the
appliance before operating it.
Keep area around appliance clear and free from
combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable
vapors and materials.
If appliance is installed near a window, proper
precautions should be taken to prevent curtains from
blowing over burners.
Many aerosol-type spray cans are EXPLOSIVE when
exposed to heat and may be highly flammable. Avoid
their use or storage near an appliance.
Many plastics are vulnerable to heat. Keep plastics
away from parts of the appliance that may become
warm or hot. Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop
as they may melt or soften if left too close to a lighted
surface burner.
To eliminate the hazard of reaching over hot surface
burners, cabinet storage should not be provided directly
above a unit. If storage is provided, it should be limited
to items which are used infrequently and which are
safely stored in an area subjected to heat from an
appliance. Temperatures may be unsafe for some items,
such as volatile liquids, cleaners or aerosol sprays.
A faint gas odor may indicate a gas leak. If a gas odor is
detected, shut off the gas supply to the cooktop. Call
your installer or local gas company to have the possible
leak checked. Never use a match or other flame to
locate a gas leak.
In Case of Fire
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 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 store items of interest to children in cabinets
above an appliance. Children climbing on the
appliance to [each items could be seriously injured,
NEVER leave children alone or unsupervised near the
appliance when it is in use or is still hot.
NEVER allow children to sit or stand on any part of the
appliance as they could be injured or burned.
Children must be taught that the appliance and utensils
on it can be hot. Let hot utensils cool in a safe place,
out of reach of small children. Children should be
taught that an appliance is not a toy. Children should
not be allowed to play with controls or other parts of the
unit.
About Your Appliance
NEVER use appliance as a 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 a storage area for food or cooking utensils.
Potentially hot surfaces include cooktop, and areas
facing the cooktop.
NEVER use aluminum foil to line burner spillover area.
Restriction of normal air flow may result in unsafe
operation.
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 is turned
on and that the burner has ignited. When cooking is
completed, turn burner off before removing pan to
prevent exposure to burner flame.
Always adjust surface burner flame so that it does
not extend beyond the bottom edge of the pan. An
excessive flame is hazardous, wastes energy and may
damage the appliance, pan or cabinets above the
appliance.
NEVER 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.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
NEVER heat an unopened container on the surface
burner. 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. 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 flammable materials
accumulate in or near the appliance, hood or vent fan.
Clean hood frequently to prevent grease from accumu-
lating on hood or filter. When flaming foods under the
hood turn the fan on.
NEVER wear garments made of flammable material or
loose fitting or long-sleeved apparel while cooking.
Clothing may ignite or catch utensil handles.
NEVER cover the downdraft opening with a utensil, pot
holder, or other object while the fan in on high or low.
This will seriously reduce the performance of the
cooktop.
Glass-Ceramic Cooktop
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.
Clean cooktop with caution. Some cleaners can produce
noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface. If a wet
sponge, cloth, or paper towel is used on a hot cooking
area, be careful to avoid steam burn.
Never stand on the cooktop.
Utensil Safety
Use pans with flat bottoms and handles that are easily
grasped and stay cool. Avoid using unstable, warped,
easily tipped or loose-handled pans. Also avoid using
pans, especially small 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 is large enough to properly contain food
and avoid boilovers. Pan size is particularly important in
deep fat frying. Be sure pan will accommodate the
volume of food that is to be added as well as the 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.
Always turn pan handles toward the side or back of the
appliance, not out into the room where they are easily
hit or reached by small children.
Never let a pan boil dry as this could damage the
utensil and the appliance.
Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic or
glazed utensils are suitable for cooktop usage without
breaking due to the sudden change in temperature.
Follow manufacturer's instructions when using glass.
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 eyelid covers for the surface
units or stovetop grills. The use of devices or
accessories that are not expressly recommended in
this manual can create serious safety hazards, result
in performance problems, and reduce the life of the
components of the appliance.
Cleaning Safety
Turn off all controls and wait for appliance parts to cool
before touching or cleaning them. Do not touch the
burner grates or surrounding areas until they have had
sufficient time to cool.
Clean appliance with caution. 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.
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 the
burning of gas can result in low-level exposure to
some of the listed substances, including benzene,
formaldehyde and soot, due primarily to the incomplete
combustion of natural gas or liquid petroleum (LP)
fuels. Properly adjusted burners will minimize
incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances
can also be minimized by properly venting the burners
to the outdoors.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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.
Electrical Connection
Appliances which require electrical
power are equipped with a three-prong
grounding plug which must be
plugged directly into a properly
grounded three-hole 120 volt
electrical outlet.
Always disconnect power to appliance before servicing.
The three-prong grounding plug offers protection
against shock hazards. DO NOT CUT OR REMOVE
THE THIRD GROUNDING PRONG FROM THE
POWER CORD PLUG.
If an ungrounded, two-hole or other type electrical
outlet is encountered, it is the personal responsibility
of the appliance owner to have the outlet replaced
with a properly grounded three-hole electrical
outlet.
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, these 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'.
I Note: Use 5" diameter round ducting 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.
• There should be a minimum clearance of 12" between
the bottom of the wall cap and the ground.
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 responsi-
bility 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.

Sealed Burners
The sealed burners are secured to the cooktop and are not
designed to be removed. Since the burners are sealed into
the cooktop, boilovers or spills will not seep underneath the
cooktop.
However, the burners should be cleaned after each use.The
head portion of the burner is easily removed for cleaning.
(:Seepage 8 for cleaning directions.)
Burner caps must be correctly placed on the burner base for
proper operation of the burner.
High Performance Burner*
There is one high speed burner on your cooktop, located in
right front position. This burner offers higher speed cooking
that can be used to quickly bring water to a boil and for
large-quantity cooking.
Boil performance with the high speed burner is better with
the downdraft fan off. Once boiling begins, turn the
downdraft fan on to capture steam as necessary.
Simmer Burner*
This burner is located in the left front position. The simmer
burner offers a lower BTU flame for:
• Holding delicate sauces warm.
• Melting chocolate or butter.
The "Melt and Hold" performance of the simmer burner can
be enhanced by turning the downdraft fan on.
Always hold food at proper food temperatures. The USDA
recommends food temperatures between 140° - 170° F.
BTU ratings will vary when using LP gas.
Grease Filter
Install grease filter per
illustration. Unit must not
be operated without first
properly installing filter as
shown.
IMPORTANT: Do not
operate system without
filter. Filter should always
be placed at an angle. As
you face the front of the
cooktop, 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.
I Note: If the filter is flat against the fan wall, ventilation
effectiveness is reduced.
Burner Grates
The grates must be
properly positioned
before cooking.
Improper installation
of the grates may result
in chipping of the
cooktop. To ensure
proper positioning, insert
the center air grille first.
Make sure the bottom
legs fit into the Iocators
inside the filter cavity.
Next, put the right and
left side grates in place
so that the tab on the
grate fits over the tab
on the center air grille.
Do not operate the
burners without a
pan on the grate.
The grate's porcelain
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 and/or discolor, due to the high temperatures
of the gas flame.

USINGYOUR COOKTOP
Notes
• A properly adjusted burner with clean ports will light
within a few seconds. If using natural gas, the flame will
be blue with a deeper blue inner cone.
If the burner flame is yellow or is noisy, the air/gas
mixture may be incorrect. Contact a service technician to
adjust. (Adjustments are not covered by the warranty.)
With LP gas, some yellow tips on the flames are accept-
able. This is normal and adjustment is not necessary.
• With some types of gas,you may [lear a "popping" sound
when the surface burner is turned off. This is a normal
operating sound of the burner.
• To improve cooking efficiency and to prevent possible
damage to the cooktop or pan, the flame must be ad-
justed so it does not extend beyond the edge of the pan.
.22S
Ventilation System
The built-in ventilation system
removes cooking vapors, odors and
smoke from foods prepared on your
cooktop.
• To operate the ventilation system,
turn the vent fan knob located at
the center-front of the air grille
