About Your Jenn-Air Oven

Your Jenn-Air self-cleaning oven combines the best of two cook-

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

The benefits of convection cooking, used by major restaurants and

chefs all over the world are at your fingertips.

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 aconvection oven, it 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.

The BAKE TIME and STOP TIME features can be used with either

the convection or radiant bake oven.

The electronic controls provide additional features not possible

with other control panels, plus easy to set operation. The smooth
control panel provides ease of maintenance. Temperatures for
BROIL and CLEAN modes are pre-set. Extra features such as the

ALARM and recall of program are possible because of the electronic
memory bank.

Since this manual explains how you can obtain the best use of your

oven, it is essential that you follow the instructions carefully. This will

enable you to fully enjoy and properly maintain your Jenn-Air oven
and achieve fine cooking results with the foods you prepare.., year

after year.

appliance, write to us. Be sure to provide the model number of your
appliance.

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.

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.

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 heatingelements. Do notuse a

towel or other bulky cloth.

9. Usecare whenopeningoven door.Lethot air or steam

10. Do not heat unopened food containers. Build-up of
pressure may cause container to burst and result in

injury.

11. Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed.

12. 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.

eventhough theyare dark in color. Interior surfaces of
any oven become hot enough to cause burns. During

flammable materials contact heating elements or
interior surfaces of oven until they havehad sufficient

time to cool. Other surfaces of the appliance may

become hot enough to cause burns -- among these
surfaces are: oven vent openings and surfaces near
these openings, oven doors, windows of oven doors.
