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 ofundersized 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 cook-

ware 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. Clean only parts listed in this manual and use procedures
recommended.

23. 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.

24. 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.

25. Do not operate with damaged cooking element after any
product malfunction until proper repair has been made.

26. Keep all switches "OFF" when unit is not in use.

27. High performance range hood must be operated in con-

junction with grill.

Using Cooktop

Cartridges

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

/

To hnstall Cartridges

1. If the grill element, grill-rocks or grates are in place, remove before installing
a cooktop cartridge. Clean grill basin of any grease accumulation. (See page 14
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 lgcmovc Cartrldgs

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

2. Lift up on the "tab" located on the cartridge until top of cartridge clears the opening
on the range top 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 the induction cartridge).

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.

Using the Grill

• HIGH PERFORMANCE RANGE HOOD MUST BE USED IN CONJUNCTION

WITH THE GRILL ELEMENT.

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

• Precondition new grates and grill-rocks by brushing with vegetable oil or spraying
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.

• A cooling fan can be heard whenever the grill element is on.

• 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.

Shouhl excess grease cause"_""sustained ilanne-up

1. Immediately turn grill heat control switch to OFF position.

2. Removemeatfrom grill.

IMPORTANT

• Do not use aluminum foil inside the grill area.

• Do not usecharcoal 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.
