Radiant Range with
Convection Oven
Model SCE30600
r-
Congratulations on your choice of a Jenn-Air range. Your range has three
radiant elements with one dua_ radiant element.
Your Jenn-Air self-cleaning oven combines the best of four cooking methods,
conventional baking or roasting, convection baking, convection roasting and
broiling.
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 the food. Consequently, many
foods cook more quickly. Evenly distributed heat makes multiple rack
cooking possible. Convection roasted meats retain their natural flavor and
juiciness with less shrinkage than conventional roasting.
In addition to the many exclusive benefits of convection cooking, your Jenn-
Air oven is also a fine full featured conventional bake and broil oven. You can
cook your "old favorite" recipes as you have in the past. The conventional
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.
Before you begin cooking with your new range, please take a few minutes to
read and become familiar with the instructions in this book. On the following
pages you will find a wealth of information regarding all aspects of using your
new range. By following the instructions carefully, you will be able to fully
enjoy and properly maintain you rrange and achieve excellent results with the
food you prepare.
Should you have any questions about using your Jenn-Air range, write to us.
Be sure to provide the model number.

Read before operating your range
All appliances -- regardless of the manufacturer -- have the potential
through improper or careless use to create safety problems. There-
fore 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 sitor 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 performance.
10, Never leave surface units unattended at high heat settings. Boil
over causes smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite.
11.Glazedcookware --only certaintypes of glass, glass-ceramic,
ceramic,earthenware or other glazedcookpots aresuitable for
rangetop surface without breaking due to the sudden change
intemperature. Useonlysuchcookwareasyou knowhasbeen
approved for this purpose.

at the back of the cooktop.
18.Always place oven racksindesired locationwhile oven is cool.
If rack must be moved while oven is hot, do not let potholder
contact hot heating element in oven.
19.Do not clean door gasket. The door gasket is essential for a
goodseal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or move
the gasket.
20.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.
21.Clean only parts listed in this manual and use procedures
recommended.
22.CAUTION: BEFORESELF-CLEANINGTHEOVEN,REMOVE
FOOD,BROILER PAN AND OTHER UTENSILS.
23.Listenforfan. A fan noiseshouldbeheard during the broiland
cleaning cycles. If not, call a serviceman before self-cleaning
again.
24.Do not cookonglass-ceramic cookingsurface ifthecooktop is
broken. Cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the
broken cooktop and create a shock hazard. Contact an
authorized Jenn-Air Service Contractor.
25.Clean glass-ceramic cooktops with caution. Ifwet sponge or
cloth is usedto wipe spillson a hot cooking area, be careful to
avoid steam burns. Some cleansers can produce noxious
fumes if applied to a hot surface.
26.Do not operate with damaged cooking element after any
product malfunction until proper repair has been made.
27.Keep all switches "OFF"when unit is not in use.
28.Do not allow aluminum foil to contact heating elements.
29.Do not use aluminum foil to line oven bottom. Installation of
these liners may result in electric shock or fire hazard.
30.WARNING: To reduce the risk oftipping of the appliance,the
appliancemustbesecuredbyproperlyinstalledanti-tipdevices.
To checkif devices areinstalled properly, removethe storage
drawer and verify that the anti-tip devices are engaged.
31.This appliance has been tested for safe performance using
conventionalcookware. Do notuseanydevices oraccessories
that are not specifically recommended in this manual. Do not
use eyelid covers for the surface units, stovetop grills, or add-
on convectionsystems. The useofdevicesoraccessoriesthat
are not expressly recommended in this manual can create
serious safety hazards, result in performance problems, and

When an element is turned ON, the element will heat up and the red glow of the
heating element can be seen through the glass-ceramic top. It is normal to see the red
glow of the element whenever it cycles on. The elements will cycle on and off for all
control settings except Hi. However, it may also cycle on Hi if improper cookware is
used.
• BEFORE FIRST USE CLEAN COOKTOP. (See p. 39.)
• For best results, always use recommended cookware.
• Different cookpots and different amounts of food being prepared will influence the
control settings needed for best results. For fastest cooking, start with the surface
control on HI for one minute; then turn the control to the lower desired setting.
Covering pans, whenever possible, speeds cooking and is more energy efficient.
• The glass-ceramic cooking area retains heat for a period of time after the elements
have been turned off, Put this retained heat to good use. Turn the elements off a
few minutes before food is completely cooked and use the retained heat to complete
the cooking. Because of this heat retention characteristic, the elements wi!l not
respond to changes in heat settings as quickly as coil elements. In the event of a
potential boilover, remove the cookpot from the cooking area.
• When preparing foods which can be easily scorched or overcooked, start cooking
at a lower temperature setting and gradually increase temperature as needed.
• A higher setting than normal may be necessary when using cookpots made with
material that is slow to conduct heat, such as cast iron.
• A lower setting can be used when cooking small quantities of foods or when using
a cookpot that conducts heat quickly,
IMPORTANT
• Do not use wire trivets, fire rings, pads or any such item between the cookware
and the element.
• Do not cook foods directly on cooktop.
• Do not allow pan to boil dry as this could damage the cooktop and the pan.
• Do not slide heavy metal or glass cookpots across surface since these may
scratch the surface.
• Do not use or place plastic items anywhere on cooktop.
1!
• Do not allow plastic objects, sugar, or foods with high sugar content to melt onto the
hot cooktop. Melted materials can cause permanent damage to the cooktop. If you
accidentally melt anything onto the cooktop or a sugary solution boils over, remove
it immediately while the cooktop is still hot. Carefully, use a single edge razor blade
held with a potholder to scrape the melted material or sugary boilover to a cooler
area of the cooktop. Use several layers of paper towels to wipe up the spillover
being careful not to burn yourself. When the element has cooled, use the razor
blade to scrape off the remaining soil and clean as you would for heavy spills. (See
p. 39.)
• Do not use aluminum foil or foil-type containers under any circumstances. Alumi-
num foi! will damage the cooktop if it melts onto the glass. If metal melts on cooktop,
do not use. Catl an authorized Jenn-Air Service Contractor.
• Do not use the glass-ceramic cooktop as a cutting board.
• Do NOT use abrasive cleansing powders or scouring pads (including metal scouring
pads), which will scratch the cooktop.
• Do NOT use chlorine bteach, ammonia, rust removers, oven cleaners, or other
cleanser not specifically recommended for use on glass-ceramic.
• Test cast ironware since atl are not flat. Also be cautioned against possible "impact
damage" should the heavy cookpot be dropped on the glass-ceramic surface.
Use Jenn-Air's flat bottom wok accessory (Model
AO142) for optimum results. The wok has a
nonstick finish, wood handles, cover, steaming
rack, rice paddles, cooking tips and recipes.

• Make sure bottoms of cookpots are always clean and dry. (Soil from the cookpot
bottom can be transferred to the cooktop surface.) Before using cookpots on the
glass-ceramic cooktop for the first time, and periodically as needed, clean the
bottoms with scouring pads or other cleansers. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
• Make it a practice to wipe cooktop surface with a clean damp cloth or paper towel
before each use; dry thoroughly. Invisible spatters, dust specks, cleansers orwater
can cause stains that appear after unit is heated. A sponge or dishcloth which is
not clean will leave film and soil laden detergent water which may cause stains on
surface after area is heated.
• When frying, use a spatter shield to reduce spattering.
• Use correct control settings and cookware large enough to hold food and liquid to
prevent boilovers and splattering.
li If a bad spiltover occurs while cooking, spills may be cleaned from the cooktop while
it is hot to prevent a tough cleaning chore later. Using extreme care, wipe with a
clean towel. Be careful to avoid burns from steam or hands touching the hot
cooktop°
• See cleaning instructions on page 39,

To achieve optimum cooking performance, use heavy gauge, flat, smooth bottom
cookpots that conform to the diameter of the radiant element (no more than one inch
overhang). Proper cookpots wil! minimize cooking times, use less electricity, cook food
more evenly and require less water or oil.
Cookpots with thin, uneven bottoms do not adequately conduct heat from the radiant
element tothe food in the cookpots which results in hot spots, burned or underdone food.
Using bad cookpots also requires more water, time, and energy to cook food.
• Select heavy gauge cookpots. Usually heavy gauge cookpots will not change
shape when heated.
• Use cookpots with flat, smooth bottoms. The two ways to determine ifcookpots
have a flat, smooth bottom are the ruler test and the cooking test.
Ruler Test:
1. Place the edge of ruler across the
bottom of the pot.
2. Hold up to the light.
3. No light should be visible under the
ruler,
Cooking Test:
1. Put 1 inch of water into the cookpot.
2. Place cookpot on the element. Turn control to the Hi setting.
3. Observe the bubble formation to determine the heat distribution. If the
bubbles are uniform across the cookpot, the cookpot will perform satisfac-
torily. If the bubbles are not uniform, the bubbles will indicate the hot spots.
• Match the size of the cookpot to the size of the element. Ideally, the cookpot
will be the same size or slightly larger.
