IMPORTANTSAFETYNOTICE ANDWARNING
The California SafeDrinking 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 tocausecancer or reproductive harm,and requires businesses
to warn customers of potential exposures to such substances.
Users of this appliance are hereby warned that when the range is engaged in
the self-clean cycle, there may be some low level exposure to some of the listed
substances, including Carbon Monoxide. Additionally, users are also herebywarned
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 be minimized by properly venting the range to the outdoors.
About Your
Jenn-Air
Congratulations on your choice of a Jenn-Air Gas-Electric Grill-Range. The
indoor 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 juiciness 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.
Before you begin cooking with your new grill-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 grill-range. By following the instructions carefully, you will be able
to fully enjoy and properly maintain your grill-range and achieve excellent
results with the food you prepare.
Should you have any questions about using your Jenn-Air grill-range or
need a use and care manual for your cooktop cartridge, write to us. Be
sure to provide the model number.

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. 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.
This warning is based on safety considerations.
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 inthis manual. All other servicing
should be referred to an authorized Jenn-Air Service
Contractor.
6. Do not store combustible materials, gasoline or other
flammable vapors and liquid near range. This also applies
to aerosol sprays and aerosol spray cans.
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 use a
towel or other bulky cloth.
9. Select cookware large enough to properly contain food and
avoid boil overs or spillovers. This will save on cleaning
and prevent hazardous accumulations of food, since heavy
splattering or spillovers left on a cooktop can ignite. Pan
size is especially important in deep fat frying.
10. Never leave cooktop unattended at Hi heat settings. Boil
over causes smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite.
11. TYPE OF COOKWARE -- Avoid pans that are unstable
and easily tipped. In choosing pans, look for easily-grasped
handles that will stay cool. Pans that are too heavy when v
filled with food can also be a hazard. If pan handles twist
and cannot be tightened, discard the pan.
12. HANDLES -- Always turn pan handles to the side or back
of the cooktop -- not out into the room where they are
easily hit. COOKWARE HANDLES SHOULD BE TURNED
INWARD AND NOT EXTEND OVER ADJACENT SUR-
FACE BURNERS to minimize burns, ignition of flammable
materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with
the cookware.
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 pu rpose.
14. Always allow hot pans to cool in a safe place out of the
reach of small children.
15. If a gas odor is detected, cut off the gas supply to the
range. 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.
16. Keep all controls "OFF" when unit is not in use.
17. Keep vent ducts unobstructed.
18. GREASE -- Grease is flammable and should be handled
carefully. Never leave any cooking operation unattended. --.--
Let fat cool before attempting to handle it. Do not allow
grease to collect around the cooktop or in the vents. Wipe
up spillovers immediately.
19. If the range is installed near a window, proper precautions
should be taken to prevent curtains from blowing over
burners creating a FIRE HAZARD.
20. Avoid placing the range in a main "traffic path" or in an
isolated location with no counter space nearby. Visualize
the oven in use before selecting a location. Remember that
open oven doors may block a passageway and create a
hazard.
21. Do not use aluminum foil to line aeration tray or burner
basin. Restriction of normal air flow may result in unsafe
operation.
22. Do not use cookware on the grill section of this appliance.
23. Do not use oven for storage space.
24. CAUTION -- Do not store items of interest to children in
cabinets above range -- children climbing on the range
,._ to reach items could be seriously injured.
25. Do not touch grill and surface burner areas, perimeter trim
around cooktop or interior surfaces of oven. During and
after use, these areas may be hot enough to cause burns.
Avoid contact with these areas by clothing or other
flammable materials until they have had sufficient time to
cool. Other surfaces may become hot enough to cause
burns -- among these surfaces are the upper door frame
and glass, oven vent opening and surfaces near the opening,
and the top edge of the control panel.
26. Use care when opening oven door. Let hot air or steam
escape before removing or replacing food.
27. Do not heat unopened food containers. Build-up of pressure
may cause container to burst and result in injury.
28. 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.
29. 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.
30. 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.
31. Clean only parts listed in this manual and use procedures
recommended.
32. CAUTION: BEFORE SELF-CLEANING THE OVEN,
"-_ REMOVE BROILER PAN, FOOD, AND OTHER UTENSILS.
33. Always remove soiled broiler pan from the broiler
compartment after cooking for grease left in the pan may
become hot enough to ignite.
34. Listen for fan. A fan noise should be heard during the broil
and cleaning cycles, if not, call a serviceman before self-
cleaning again.
35. Before servicing your appliance, disconnect power to the
range at the main fuse or circuit breaker panel and at the
electrical receptacle.
36. Do not allow aluminum foil or meat probes to contact
heating elements.
37. WARNING: To reduce the risk of tipping of the appliance,
the appliance must be secured by properly installed anti-
tip devices. To check if devices are installed properly,
remove the access panel and verify that the anti-tip devices
are engaged.
39. PREPARED FOOD WARNING: Follow food manufacturer's in-
structions. If a plastic frozen food container and/or its film cover
distorts, warps or is otherwise damaged during cooking, immedi-
ately discard the food and its container. The food could be
contaminated.
40. This appliance has been tested for safe performance using con-
ventionalcookware. Do not use any devices or accessoriesthat
are not specifically recommended inthis manual Do not useeyelid
covers for the surface units, stovetop grills, or add-on convection
systems. The use ofdevices 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
41. Flame size should be adjusted so it does not extend beyond the
edge ofthe cookware. This instructionisbased onsafety consid-
eration.

tion. Exposure to these substances can be minimized by properly
ventingthe rangeto the outdoors.
How a Surface
Burner Works
When the surface burner valve is turned on, gas enters the mixer tube and mixes
with air. This air and gas mixture flows to the burner head and is lighted by a spark
from the solid state igniter.
A properly adjusted burner with clean ports will light within a few seconds. The
cone-shaped flame will be clear blue in color with a clearly defined inner cone. There
should be no trace of yellow in the flame. A yellow flame indicates an improper
mixture of air and gas. This wastes fuel so have a serviceman adjust the air and
gas mixture by adjusting the air shutter if a yellow flame ever occurs.
The variable surface controls for the surface burners and grill burner provide flexibility
in heat setting selection.
How to Operate in the Event of a Power
Failure
Surface Hurners
In case of prolonged power failure, you can manually light the surface burner by
holding a lighted match near the burner ports and slowly turning the control knob
counterclockwise (after depressing) until the gas ignites. There is no fan so smoke
and condensation can gather.
IN CASE OF POWER FAILURE, DO NOT USE GRILL. VENTILATION SYSTEM
WILL NOT OPERATE.
IF THE VENTILATION SYSTEM IS INOPERABLE FOR ANY REASON, DO NOT
OPERATE GRILL.

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 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 burner is in use.
• The fan can be used to remove strong odors from the kitchen as when chopping
onions near the fan.
Cleaning the Ventilation System
Air Grille: The air grille lifts off easily. Wipe clean or wash in sink with mild household
'_.tergents. May be cleaned in dishwasher. NOTE: The oven vent is located under
_,.,, a grille. When using or cleaning the oven, hot and moist
a_rmay be noticed in this area. Be careful not to spill anything
into this vent.
Filler: Turn off 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 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 open-
ing and the bottom of the filter should rest against the right side of the ventilation
chamber at the bottom. DO NOT OPERA TE SYSTEM WITHOUT FILTER.
Ventilation I_hamlDer: 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.

Cookware Selection
Size of Cookware
Flame size should be adjusted so it does not extend beyond the edge of the cookware.
This instruction is based on safety considerations. Adjusting the size of the flame
to fit the size of the cookware also helps to save fuel.
CAUTION: Leave a minimum of 1V2"between side of pan and surrounding surfaces,
such as countertop backsplash or side walls, to allow heat to escape and avoid
possible damage to these areas.
Cookware Materials
Stainless steel, porcelain enamelware, glass, and glass ceramic cookware designed
for surface cooking usually heat slowly and conduct heat poorly when a large flame
size is used. Turn the knob to adjust the flame size to extend only halfway between
center and edge of the cookware bottom for better cooking results. Aluminum cookware
conducts heat more evenly; therefore, a slightly larger flame size can be used. The
flame can be adjusted so it comes to the edge of the cookware. The flame should
NEVER be adjusted so that it extends beyond the bottom of the cookware.
Covered Cookware
If the 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.
