Important Safety Notice and Warning

The CaliforniaSafe DrinkingWater andToxic EnforcementAct of 1986 (Propo-
sition65) requires the Governor of California to publisha list of substances

knownto the State of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm, and
requiresbusinesses to warn customers of potential exposures to such sub-

stances.

Users ofthis appliance are hereby warned that burning of gas can result in low-
level exposure to some of the listed substances, including benzene, formalde-
hyde 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 be minimized by properly vent-

ing the burners to the outdoors.

WARNING

Electrical Grounding Instructions

The appliance is equipped with a three-prong grounding plug for your protec-
tion against shock hazard and should be plugged directly into a properly
grounded three-prong receptacle. Do not cut or remove the grounding prong

from this plug.

Congratulations on your choice of a Jenn-Air gas cooktop. The indoor grilling of
meats, fish or fowl is an attractive and healthy way to prepare these foods.

Before you begin cooking with your new cooktop, please take a few minutes to
read and become familiar with the instructions in this book. Should you have

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

Regular use of this system will insure a more comfortable and less humid kitchen which
isfree of heavy cooking odors and fumes that normally create a frequent need for clean-

ing and redecorating.

• To operate the ventilation system manually, turn

fan knob clockwise to ON position, ummuuli ......... _

• The ventilation system will operate automatically _ _---._/_
when the grill burner is in use.

g

• The ventilation system can be used to remove
strong odors from the kitchen as when chopping

onions near the air grille.

Air Grille

The air grille lifts off easily. Wipe clean or wash in

sink with mild household detergents. It may be
cleaned inthe dishwasher.

Filter

Turn oft ventilation system before removing. The
filter is a permanent type and should be cleaned

when soiled: Clean in sink with warm water and

liquid dishwashing detergent or in the dishwasher.

Important: DO NOT OPERATE SYSTEM WITH-

OUT 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 and the bottom of the
filter should rest against the right side of the ventilation chamber at the bottom. If filter

is flat against the fan wall, ventilation effectiveness is reduced.

VentilationChamber

This area, which housesthe filter, shouldbe cleaned in the event of spillsorwhenever
itbecomescoated with a film ofgrease. The ventilationchamber may be cleaned with
papertowel, damp cloth,or sponge and mild householddetergentor cleanser.

lSize of Cookware1

To achieveoptimumcockingperformance usecookpotswithflatbottomsand tightfitting

covers. Flame size should be adjusted so it does not extend beyond the edge of the
cookware. This instructionis basedon safetyconsiderations. Adjustingthe size ofthe

flame to fitthe size of the ccokware also helpsto save fuel.

Important: Leave a minimumof 11/2"between side of pan and surroundingsurfaces,

such ascountertopbacksplashor sidewalls, to allow heat to escape to avoid possible

damage to these areas.

• Aluminum cookware heats evenly and quickly. A slightly larger flame size can be

used. The flame canbe adjusted so itcomes to the edge ofthe cookware. However,

the flame should NEVER be adjusted so that it extends beyond the bottom of the
cookware.

• Stainless steel cookware with copper or aluminum cores heat evenly and fairly
quickly. The flame size should be adjusted to extend only halfway between center

and edge of the cookware bottom for best results.

• Cast iron cookware heats slowly.

• Check manufacturer's recommendations before using porcelain on steel, porcelain
on cast iron, glass, glass-ceramic, earthenware or other glazed cookpots.

l!C°vered c°° are I

Ifthe cookware is covered, less fuel will be needed. Therefore, a lower flame size can

be used.

Note: Food will not cook any faster when more than the amount of heat needed to
maintain a gentle boil is used.
