SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS
Read before operating your range
All appliances-- regardless of the manufacturer -- have the
potential through improper or careless use to create safety
problems.Thereforethefollowing safety precautionsshouldbe
observed:
1, Besure your appliance is properly installed andgrounded
by a qualified technician.
2. Neveruseyour appliance for warming or heatingthe room.
3. Children should not be left alone or unattended in area
whereapplianceis in use.Theyshouldneverbe allowedto
sit or stand on any part of the appliance.
4. Wear proper apparel. Loose-fitting or hanging garments
should never be worn while using the appliance.
5. Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless
specificallyrecommendedinthe manual.All otherservicing
should be referred to an authorized Jenn-Air Service
Contractor.
6. Flammable materials should not be stored in an oven or
near surface units.
7. Do not use water on grease fires. Smother fire or flame or
use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
8. Use only dry potholders. Moist or clamp potholders on hot
surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let
potholder touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel
or other bulky cloth.
9. Use proper pan size. Many appliances are equipped with
one or more surface units of different size. Select utensils
having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit
heating element. The use of undersized utensils will expose
a portion of the heating element to direct contact and may
result in ignition,of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil
to heating element will also improve efficiency.
10. Never leave surface units unattended at high heat settings.
Boil over causes smoking and greasy spillovers that may
ignite.
11. On conventional element ranges make sure that drip pans
are in place. Absence of these pans during cooking may
subject wiring or components underneath to damage.
12. Do not use aluminum foil to line surface unit drip pans, grill
basin or oven bottom. Installation of these liners may result
in an electric shock or fire hazard.
13. Glazed cooking utensils -- only certain types of glass,
glass-ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed
utensils are suitable for range top surface without breaking
due to the sudden change in temperature. Use only such
utensils as you know have been approved for this purpose.
14. Utensil handles should be turned inward and not extend
over adjacent surface heating elements to avoid burns,
ignition of flammable materials and spillage due to
unintentional contact with the utensil.
15. Do not soak or immerse removable heating elements in
water.
16. CAUTION -- Do not store items of interest to children in
cabinets above a range or on the backguard of a range --
children climbing on the range to reach items could be
seriously injured.
17. Do not touch surface units or areas near units, heating
elements or interior surfaces of oven. Surface units or
heating elements may be hot even though they are dark in
color. Areas near surface units and interior surfaces of an
oven may become hot enough to cause burns. During and
after use, do not touch or let clothing dr other flammable
materials contact these areas until they have hadsufficient
time to cool. Other surfaces may become hot enough to
cause burns -- among these surfaces are the cooktop, the
upper door frame and glass, oven vent opening and
surfaces near the opening, and the top edge of the control
panel.
18. Use care when opening door. Let hot air or steam escape
before removing or replacing food.
19. Do not heat unopened food containers. Build-up of
pressure may cause container to burst and result in injury.
20. Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed.
21. Always place oven racks in desired location while oven is
cool. If rack must be moved while oven is hot, do not let
potholder contact hot heating element in oven.
22. Do not clean door gasket. The door gasket isessential for a
good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or
move the gasket.
23. Do not use oven cleaners. No commercial oven cleaner or
oven liner protective coating of any kind should be used in
or around any part of the oven.
24. Clean only parts listed in this manual and use procedures
recommended.
25. Before self-cleaning the oven, remove broiler pan and
other utensils.
26. Listen for fan. A fan noise should be heard during the
cleaning cycle. If not, call a serviceman before self-
cleaning again.
27. Do not cook on glass-ceramic cooking surface if the
cooktop is broken. Cleaning solutions and spillovers may
penetrate the broken cooktop and create a shock hazard.
Contact an authorized Jenn-Air Service Contractor.
28. Clean glass-ceramic cooktops with caution. If wet sponge
or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be
careful to avoid steam burns. Some cleansers can produce
noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.
29. Do not operate with damaged cooking element after any
product malfunction until proper repair has been made.
30. Keep all switches "OFF" when unit is not in use.

Ventilation System
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
is free of heavy cooking odors and fumes that normally create a frequent need for
Cleaning and redecorating.
Using the Ventilation Systeiii
• To operate the ventilation system manually, push the
fan symbol on the three position VENTILATION AND
OVEN LIGHT SWITCH located in front of the
ventilation grille. To turn the fan off, push the switch
to the middle position. If the light symbol is pushed,
the oven tight wifl be turned on.
• The ventilation system will operate automatically when the grill element is in
use.
• Besides using the ventilation system to remove cooking vapors and fumes, it
can be used to cool baked pies, cakes or hot utensils. To cool an item, set it on
the ventilation grille and turn on the fan. The air being pulled over the item will
quickly cool it. Be careful not to cover the oven vent or the entire ventilation
grille.
• The fan can be used to remove strong odors from the kitchen as when chopping
onions near the fan.
Cleaning the Ventilation System
Ventilation Grtllet The surface grille lifts off easily.
Wipe clean or wash in sink with mild household detergents.
May be cleaned in dishwasher. NOTE: The oven vent is
located under the grille. When using or cleaning the oven,
hot and moist air may be noticed in this area. Be careful not
to spill anything into this vent.
l_lter: Turn off ventilation system before removing. The filter is a permanent type and
should be cleaned when soiled. Clean in sink with v_arm water and liquid dishwashing
detergent or in dishwasher.
IMPORTANT: 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 and the
bottom of the filter should rest against the right side of the ventilation chamber at the
bottom. DO NOT OPERATE SYSTEM WITHOUT FILTER.
VentHat|on qChamber: This area, which houses the filter, should be cleaned in the
event of spills or whenever it becomes coated with a film of grease. May be cleaned
with paper towel, damp cloth or sponge and mild household detergent.

4. Lowerthe opposite end of the cartridge into the rangefop until it isflush withthe surface.
Your oooktopis now ready tOuse.
To Remove Cartridges
1. Control knobs must be in the OFFposition and thecartridge should be cool.
2. Lift up on the"tab" locatedon the cartridge untiltop of cartridge clears the opening on the
rangeby about2 inches. Liftingthe cartridge too highwhile still engaged inthe receptacle
could damagethe terminal plug.
3. To disengage terminal, hold cartridge by the sides and slide away from the terminal
receptacle. Lift out when fully unplugged.
To Store Cartridges
1. Astorage tray, Model A350,is available and can be used for storing acartridge.

Conventional
Coil Cooktop
For best results, most efficient use of electricity and to prevent damage to the
conventional coil elements, select cookware as described below.
The variable control setting allows flexibility in selecting desired heat. The HI setting
should be used only to start cooking. The control should then be turned to a lower
setting. Energy can be saved by avoiding unnecessary rapid boiling of foods and
covering utensils when bringing water to a boil. Use the lowest setting possible to
maintain correct frying temperature to avoid excessive splattering. Use a tight fitting lid
on utensils to speed cooking.
Retained heat in the elements can be used to finish cooking.
Do not allow pans to boil dry as this could damage both the cooktop and pan.
Selecting Proper Cooking Utensils
• Select cookware with fiat bottoms. Flat bottom pans are the fastest and best
conductors of heat and provide the most consistent and satisfactory results. The
entire bottom of the utensil should touch the heating element evenly. Avoid using
utensils with convex, concave or irregular bottoms. A utensil which is not flat
receives the most heat at the point of contact, which causes "hot spots" and
uneven heat distribution. Hot spots can result in scorching or burning of the food.
Uneven heat distribution slows the cooking process and wastes energy.
• To determine if a utensil is flat, lay a straight edge ruler against the bottom.
• Do not use a wire trivet or any kind of heat retarding pad between the utensil and
element. Reduce the heat control setting instead.
• Do not use utensils that extend more than 1 inch on either side of the element.
(See exceptions for canning on page 13.) Use the correct size pan for the size of
the heating element.
• Do not use large diameter canners or utensils except when boiling water or
canning. Sauce mixtures, syrups and fried foods all cook at much higher
temperatures than boiling water and could eventually reflect damaging heat to
the adjacent component parts of the range, shorten life span of heating element,
damage and discolor drip pans or cause impossible to clean spots on metal
surfaces. These problems are increased when the HI setting is used excessively
with oversized cooking utensils.
• Do not use any vessel with a turned down flange around the bottom.
• Special cooking equipment without flat bottoms, such as the Oriental wok, should
not be used on the cooktop. Only use the Jenn-Air wok accessory, Model A140,
on the range. It has a special heating element designed to eliminate problems
associated with using traditional round bottom woks on the conventional coil
cartridge, such as shortening the life of the heating element.
