Congratulations on your choice of a Jenn-Air 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 combinesthe best of four cooking methods,
conventional baking or roasting, convection baking or 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 afine 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 your range 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, 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 in this 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 cooktop. 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
boilovers 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 rangetop unattended at Hi heat settings. Boilover
causes smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite.
11. TYPE OF COOKWARE - Avoid pans that are unstable and easily
tipped. _n choosing pans, look for easily-grasped handles that will
stay cool. Pans that are too heavy when filled with food can also
be a hazard. If pan handles twist and cannot be tightened, discard
the pan.
12. HANDLES- Alwaysturn pan handlesto the sideor back of the
rangetop - not out into the room where they are easity hit.

sufficient time to cool. Other surfaces may become hot enough to
cause burns - among these surfaces are the upper door frame and
door, oven vent opening and surfaces near the opening, and the top
edge of the control panel.
15. Do not heat unopened food containers. Buildup of pressure may
cause container to burst and result in injury.
16. Keep all controls "Off" when unit is not in use.
17. Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed. The oven is vented under the
air grille.
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
rangetop or in the vents. Wipe up spillovers immediately.
19, If the range is insta}led near a window, proper precautions should
be taken to prevent curtains from blowing over burners creating a
FIRE HAZARD.
20, Do not use aluminum foil to line aeration tray or burner basin.
Restriction of normal air flow may result in unsafe operation.
21. Do not use cookware on the grill section of this appliance.
22, Before servicing your appliance, disconnect power to the range at
the main fuse or circuit breaker panel and at the electrical receptacle.
23. Always allow hot pans to cool in a safe place out of the reach of small
children.
24. A faint gas odor may indicate a gas leak. If a gas odor is detected,
shut off the gas supply to the range. Call your installer or !ocal gas
company to have the possible leak checked. Never use a match
or other flame to locate a gas leak.

conventional cookware, go not use any devices or accessories
that are not specifically recommended in this manual. Do not use
eyelid covers for the surface burners, stovetop grills or add-on
convection systems. The use of devices 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.
28. Glazed cookware - only certain types of glass, glass-ceramic,
ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed cookpots are suitable for
rangetop surface without breaking due to the sudden change in
temperature. Use only such cookware as you know has been
approved for this purpose.
29. 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.
30. Use care when opening oven door. Let hot air or steam escape
before removing or replacing food.
31. Always place oven racks in desired location while oven is cool. If
rack must be moved while oven is hot, do net let potholder contact
hot heating element in oven.

Jenn-Air's ventilation system is designed to capture both cooking fumes and smoke
while grilling, ff the system does not, these are some ducting installation situations to
check:
• 6" diameter round or 31/4`'x 10" rectangular ducting should be used for duct lengths
10'-60'. Note: 5" diameter round ducting must be used if the duct length is 10'
or less.
• No more than three 90 ° elbows should be used. Distance between elbows should
be at least 18".
• Recommended Jenn-Air wall cap should be used. Make sure damper moves freely
when ventilation system is operating.
• There should be a minimum clearance of 6" for cooktop installed near a side walt.
If there is not an obvious improper installation, there may be a concealed problem such
as a pinched joint, obstruction in the pipe, etc. _._ta!!atign is the re_on_jbitit_ of the
installer and questions should be addressed first by the installer. The installer should
very carefully check the ducting installation instructions.

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. _
• The downdraft ventilation system features a two speed fan.
The fan positions are: Hi, Lo, and Off. To turn on the
ventilation system, push the Fan Switch to the upper position
-iii ii_Ifi !1
for Hi and the lower position for Lo.
• To turn the ventilation system Off, return the switch to the middle position.
• The ventilation system will operate automatically on Hi speed when the grill burner
is in use. During grilling, the fan speed is automatically set for the Hi setting AND
cannot be changed to Lo speed,
• Use the Hi fan speed for capturing steam. Use Lo fan speed for capturing smoke
when pan frying
• The fan can be used to remove strong odors from the kitchen as when chopping
onions near the fan.
• Besides using the ventilation system to remove cooking vapors and fumes, it can
be used to cool baked pies or cakes. To cool an item, set it on the air gritle 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.
Air Grille
The air grille lifts off easily. Wipe clean or wash in sink with mild household detergents.
it may be cleaned in the dishwasher, Note: The oven vent is _ocated under the air 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.
Filter
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: DO NOT OPERATE SYSTEM
WITHOUT FILTER. Filter should always be placed at an angle.
As you face the front of the range, the top of the fitter 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.
Ventilation Chamber
This area, which houses the filter, should be cleaned in the event of spills or whenever
it becomes coated with a film of grease. The ventilation chamber may be cleaned with
paper towel, damp cloth, or sponge and mild household detergent or cleanser.

Toachieveoptimumcookingperformanceusecookpotswithflatbottomsandtightfitting
covers.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.
Important: Leave a minimum of ! ,/2"between side of pan and surrounding surfaces, such
as countertop backsplash or side walls, to allow heat to escape to avoid possible damage
to these areas.
• Aluminum cookware heats evenly and quickly. A slightly larger flame size can be
used. The flame can be adjusted so it comes tothe edge ofthe cookware. However,
the flame should NEVER be adjusted so that it extends beyond the bottom of the
cookware.
• Stainless steel cookware with copper or aluminum cores heat evenly and fairly
quickly. The flame size should be adjusted to extend only halfway between center
and edge of the cookware bottom for best results.
• Cast iron ceokware heats slowly,
• Check manufacturer's recommendations before using porcelain on steel, porcelain
on cast iron, glass, glass-ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed cookpots.
If the cookware is covered, less fue! 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.
