About Your

Jenn-Air Oven

Your Jenn-Air oven combines the best of two cooking methods,

convection and radiant bake (conventional) baking or roasting, in a
self-cleaning oven.

The Jenn-Air convection oven is actually aconventional oven that
circulates heated air within the oven. As both bake and broil heating
elements cycle on and off with the thermostat, afan keepsthe 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 fla-

vor and juiciness with less shrinkage than radiant heat 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.

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 isconvenient for top browning and oven broiling
of foods.

The time bake feature can be used with either the convection or
radiant bake oven.

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 will also assure you of achieving the finest cooking results
with the foods you prepare.., year after year.

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

SAFETY

PRECAUTIONS

Read before operating your oven

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.

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 care when opening oven door. Let hot air or steam
escape before removing or replacing food.

10. Do not heat unopened food containers. Build-up of pres-
sure 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.

13. 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.

14. 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.

15. Clean only parts listed in this manual.

16. Before self-cleaning the oven, remove broiler pan and other
utensils.

17. Listen for fan. A fan noise should be heard during the
broil and cleaning cycles. Ifnot, call aserviceman before self-
cleaning again.

18. DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR
SURFACES OF OVEN. Heating elements may be hot even

though they are dark in color. Interior surfaces of any oven
become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use,

do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials
contact heating elements or interior surfaces of oven until

they have had sufficient time to cool. Other surfaces of the

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

doors.
