About Your

Jenn-Air

Your Jenn-Air Grill-Range offers new vistas in food preparation. The countertop grilling of meats, fish or fowl is one of the most attractive and succulent methods of preparing these foods.., a unique flexibility

made possible by Jenn-Air's patented integral ventilation system. Your Jenn-Air self-cleaning oven combines the best of two cooking

methods, convection and radiant bake (conventional) baking or roasting.

The Jenn-Air convection oven is actually a conventional oven that circulates heated air within the oven. As both bake and broil heating elements cycle on and off with the thermostat, a fan keeps the heated air circulating around the food.

The constantly recirculating heated air in the convection oven strips away the layer of cooler air that surrounds food. Consequently, many foods cook more quickly. Distributed heat makes multiple rack cooking possible. Convection roasted meats retain their natural flavor and juici-

ness with less shrinkage than radiant bake roasting.

In addition to the many exclusive benefits of convection cooking, your

Jenn-Air oven is also a fine full featured "bake and broil" oven.

You can cook your "old favorite" recipes as you have in the past. The radiant bake oven also gives you the flexibility of preparing various

foods when convection cooking may not be as beneficial, as when cooking foods in covered casseroles or clay pots.

The broil element is convenient for top browning and oven broiling of foods.

Since this manual explains how you can obtain the best use of your Jenn-Air, it is essential that you follow the instructions carefully. This will enable you to fully enjoy and properly maintain your Jenn-Air and will also assure you of achieving the finest cooking results with the foods you prepare.., year after year.

SAFETY

PRECAUTIONS

Read before operating your range

All appliances -- regardless of the manufacturer -- have the potential through improper or careless use to create safety prob-

lems. Therefore the following safety precautions should be

observed:

1. Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician.

2. Never use your appliance for warming or heating the room.

3. Children should not be left alone or unattended in area

where appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to

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 specifically recommended in this manual. All other servicing

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 damp 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 cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit

heating element. The use of undersized cookware will expose

a portion of the heating element to direct contact and may

result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of cookware

to heating element will also improve efficiency and perfor-

mance.

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 cookware -- only certain types of glass, glass-ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed cookpots are suitable for range top surface without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. Use only such

cookware as you know have been approved for this purpose.

14. Cookware handles should be turned inward and not extend over adjacent surface heating elements to avoid burns,

ignition of flammable materials and spillage due to uninten- tional contact with the cookware.

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 heat-

ing 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 or other flammable mate-

rials contact these areas until they have had sufficient 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 oven door. Let hot air or steam escape before removing or replacing food.

19. Do not heat unopened food containers. Build-up of pres- sure 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 is essential 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 broil and cleaning cycles. If not, call a serviceman before

self-cleaning again.

27. Do not cook on glass-ceramic cooking surface if the cook-

top is broken. Cleaning solutions and spillovers may pene- trate 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.

_. 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 tlne Ventilation System

• To operate the ventilation system manually, push the three position VENTILATION AND OVEN LIGHT SWITCH located in front of the air grille toward the fan symbol. To turn the fan off, push the switch to the middle position. If the switch is pushed toward the light symbol, the oven light will 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 air 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 air grille.

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

Cleaning tlne Ventilation System

Air Grille: The air 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.

i,'ill_n.: Turn off ventilation system before removing. The filter is a permanent type

and should be cleaned when soiled. Clean insink with warm water and liquid dishwash-

ing 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.

V_nn/ilation (_hannnl,_r: 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.

Surface Controls

The variable heat controls for the cooktop cartridges and grill element provide flexibil- ity in heat setting selection.

To Set Controls

• Since the controls are a push-turn type, they must be pushed down before turning. To set (from the OFF position), push down on control knob and turn in either direction to desired

heat setting.

• When control is in any position, other than OFF, it may be turned in any direction without pushing down.

• A red indicator light will glow when a surface heating element in ON. There are two indicator lights, one for the heating elements on the left side of the range, one for the

heating elements on the right side of the range.

Control l_Dcations

1. Left rear heating element (rear Energy-Saver) ....._

2. Left front heating element (front Energy-Saver)

3. Right front heating element (front Energy-Saver) ...............................

4. Right rear heating element (rear Energy-Saver) Energy-Saver

Note: The "Energy-Saver" grill element (above, right) permits utilizing only half of the grill area, if desired, /

or using different heat settings for thefront and rear position ofthe element. When usingthis element, both

Jcooktop controls, front and rear. must be turned on in order to use the full grill area.

Suggested Control Settings

The size and type of cookware and the amount and type of food being cooked will influence the setting needed for best cooking results. Electrical voltage may also vary; this will affect the needed control setting. The setting indicted should serve as a guide while you become familiar with your

range. HI A fast heat to start cooking quickly, to bring liquids to a boil, to preheat oil for deep fat

frying. Use for most grilling.

7-10 (Medium High) For fast frying or browning foods, to maintain rapid boil of large amounts of

food, to maintain oil temperature for deep fat frying.

5-6 (Medium) For foods cooked in adouble boiler, sauteing, slow boil of large amounts of food,

and most frying.

3-4 (Medium Lo) To continue cooking foods started on higher settings. LO-2 Maintaining serving temperatures of foods, simmering foods, melting butterorchocolate.

The heat controls offer flexibility in heat setting selection. On settings other than HI, you may adjust the controls above or below the numbered setting for best results. This applies to settings

when using cooktop cartridges or when using the grill or any of the grill accessories. Suggested

settings are provided as general 9uidelines.

Clcanlng and Removing Control l_nobs

To remove knobs, turn to OFF position. Wash knobs in warm soapy water or dishwasher; do not use abrasive cleansers or materials. To replace knobs, match flat part of knob opening with the

spring on the shaft, returning in OFF position.

Using.Cooktop

Cartridges

Cooktop cartridges, either conventional coil, glass-ceramic, solid element or induction, can be installed on either side of the range.

To Install (hu-tridges

1. If the grill element, grill-rocks or grates are m place, remove before installing a cooktop cartridge. Clean grill basin of any grease accumulation. (See page 16 for

cleaning recommendations.)

2. To install any of the optional cooktop cartridges, first be sure control knobs are turned OFF. Position the cartridge terminal plug towards 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 towards the receptacle until the cartridge terminal plug is

completely engaged.

4. Lower the opposite end of the cartridge into the range top until it is flush with the

surface. Your range is now ready to use.

To Rennovc Cardn_dges

1. Control knobs must be in the OFF position and the cartridge should be coot.

2. Lift up on the "tab" located on the cartridge until top of cartridge clears the opening on the range by about 2 inches. 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 slide away from the terminal receptacle. Lift out when fully unplugged.

4. A storage tray, Model A350, is available and can be used for storing a cartridge

(except induction).

5. Do not stack cartridges where they may fall or be damaged. Never store other materials on top of the glass-ceramic cartridges since this could damage or mar

the surface.

llonne t'_,unnnhng

Canning should be done on the conventional coil or induction cartridge only. Canning element accessory, Model A145, makes it possible to use large oversized, flanged or

rippled bottom utensils with conventional coil cartridge.

Grilling

The grill accessory consists of two black grill grates, a grill element and two grill-rocks.

To Install Grill

1. Before installing grill components, be certain surface controls are in the OFF position.

2. Place the two grill-rocks into an empty grill basin with their handles running parallel to the front of the range. These grill-rocks must be used since they support the grill

element.

3. Position the grill element with the terminal plug towards 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. Slide the element towards the receptacle until the terminal plug is completely engaged.

4. The grill element should now rest on the handles of the grill-rocks.

5. Place the black grill grates on the top of the range top.

To l;ennovc Grill

1. Remove grill components once they are cool. Be sure control switches are in the OFF position.

2. To remove grill element, pull away from receptacle until it is unplugged. Do not lift the

element while it is engaged in the receptacle since this could damage the terminal.

3. A storage tray, Model A350, is available for purchase and can be used for storing the grill assembly.

|Jnsi_lllil.g ()tlncr Accessories

1. Remove the two black grill grates from the grill. Now you are ready to use the optional grill accessories.

2. Review the instructions for installing and using the accessories that are packaged with the accessory.

Usi,,_ the Grill

• Before using the grill for the first time, wash grill grates in hot soapy water; rinse and dry.

• Precondition newgratesand grill-rocks by brushing with vegetable oil orspraying with a non-stick coating such as Pam. This procedure should be repeated after

cleaning in a dishwasher since the detergent removes seasoning.

• For easier clean-up, as well as preventing meats from sticking to grates until they are seasoned, spray grates, grill-rocks and grill basin with a non-stick coating.

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

heating element should glow a bright cherry red.

• 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 flame-up problems.

• Allowing excessive amounts of grease or drippings to constantly flame voids the warranty on grill grates. Excessive flame-ups indicate that either the grill interior

needs to be cleaned or 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.

• NEVER LEAVE GRILL UNATTENDED DURING GRILL OPERATION.

• Do not usealuminum foil inside the grill area.

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

• Do not allow grill-rocks 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 flame-ups.

G,-illi,,_ Tips

With your Jenn-Air grill and accessories, literally any food you've considered "at its

best" when prepared outdoors over charcoal can now be prepared indoors with less

fuss and great flavor.

Many grilling ideas arecontained in Jenn-Air's Cookbook, Complete Cooking With Jenn-

Air. There are also many cookbooks containing recipes for outdoor grilling which can be used on a Jenn-Air.

The following suggestions are good rules to follow and will increase your enjoyment of the equipment.

• Be sure to follow directions on page 13 for using the grill.

• Suggested cooking times and control settings are approximate due to variations in meats and electrical voltage. Experience will quickly indicate cooking times as well as which settings work best.

• Use the Energy-saver grill element for grilling small amounts of food on half of the grill or for keeping cooked foods warm or preparing foods requiring different

heat control settings.

• 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. It takes fewer minutes to cook the second side. Turn steaks and hamburgers just once. Manipulating food causes loss of juices.

• When basting meats or applying sauces to foods, remember that excessive amounts wind up 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. Sugar-based sauces, excessively used, will caramelize on the grill-

rocks and will create a cleaning chore.

• 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.

• To help retain meat juices, salt after turning meat or after cooking is completed.

• Should grilled foods be prepared and ready before you're ready to serve, turn heat control to a low setting and cover meat with a single sheet of foil. Food will

continue to cook.
