In our continuing effort to
improve the quality and
performance of our
cooking products, it may
be necessary to make
changes to the appliance
without revising this guide.
IN CASE OF FIRE
Turn off appliance and ventilating hood to
avoid spreading the flame. Extinguish
flame then turn on hood to remove smoke
and odor.
• Smother fire or flame in a pan with a lid
or cookie sheet.
NEVER pick up or move a flaming pan.
Do not use water on grease fires. Use
baking soda, a dry chemical or foam-type
extinguisher to smother fire or flame.
surface units or in the vicinity of this
appliance as fumes could create a fire
hazard or an explosion.
To prevent grease fires, do not let cooking
grease or other flammable materials
accumulate in or near the appliance.
Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp
potholders on hot surfaces may result in a
steam burn. Do not let potholders touch
hot heating elements. Do not use a towel
or other bulky cloth which could easily
touch hot heating elements and ignite.
Always turn off all controls when cooking
is completed.
This appliance has been tested for safe
performance using conventional cookware.
Do not use any devices or accessories that
are not specifically recommended in this
manual. Do not use eyelid covers or stove
top grills. The use of devices or accesso-
ries 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
this appliance.
NEVER use aluminum foil or foil contain-
ers on the cooktop. These may become
very hot. Use foil only as directed in this
guide.
Aerosol-type cans are EXPLOSIVE when
exposed to heat and may be highly
flammable. Do not use or store near
appliance.
Clean only parts listed in this guide and
use procedures recommended.
COOKTOP
NEVER leave surface units unattended
especially when using high heat. An
unattended boilover could cause smoking
and a greasy spillover can cause a fire.
This appliance is equipped with different
size surface elements. Select pans with flat
bottoms large enough to cover element.
Fitting pan size to element will improve
cooking efficiency.
If pan is smaller than element, a portion of
the element will be exposed to direct
contact and could ignite clothing or
potholder.
2
Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic,
ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed
utensils are suitable for cooktop service
without breaking due to the sudden
change in temperature. Follow utensil
manufacturer’s instructions when using
glass.
Turn pan handle toward center of cooktop,
not out into the room or over another
surface element. This reduces the risk of
burns, ignition of flammable materials, or
spillage if pan is accidently bumped or
reached by small children.
Make sure drip bowls (select models) are
in place. Absence of these bowls during
cooking may subject wiring or components
underneath to damage.
Protective liners – Do not use aluminum foil
to line surface unit drip bowls. Improper
installation of these liners may result in a
risk of electric shock or fire.
GLASS-CERAMIC
COOKTOP
NEVER cook on broken cooktop. If cooktop
should break, cleaning solutions and
spillovers may penetrate the broken
cooktop and create a risk of electric shock.
Contact a qualified technician immediately.
Clean cooktop with caution. Some cleaners
can produce noxious fumes if applied to a
hot surface. If a wet sponge, cloth, or paper
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
towel is used on a hot cooking area, be
careful to avoid steam burn.
DEEP FAT FRYERS
Use extreme caution when moving the
grease pan or disposing of hot grease.
Allow grease to cool before attempting to
move pan.
HEATING ELEMENTS
NEVER touch surface elements or
areas near elements.
Heating elements may be hot even though
they are dark in color. Areas near surface
elements may become hot enough to
cause burns.
During and after use, do not touch or let
clothing or other flammable materials
contact heating elements or areas near
elements until they have had sufficient
time to cool.
Do not soak removeable heating elements.
Heating elements should never be im-
mersed in water.
Other potentially hot surfaces include:
Cooktop and areas facing the cooktop.
CHILD SAFETY
NEVER leave children alone or unsuper-
vised in area where appliance is in use or
is still hot.
Jenn-Air’s ventilation system is designed
to capture both cooking fumes and smoke
from the cooktop surface. If the system
does not, these are some ducting installa-
tion situations to check:
• 6" diameter round or 3 1/4" x 10"
rectangular ducting should be used for
duct lengths 10'-60'. Note: 5"
diameter round ducting may be
used if the duct length is 10' or
less.
If there is not an obvious improper
installation, there may be a concealed
problem such as a pinched joint, obstruc-
tion in the pipe, etc. Installation is the
responsibility of the installer
and questions should be
addressed first by the
installer. The installer
should very carefully check
the ducting installation
instructions.
• Use the Flow Tester Card
DUCTING INFORMATION
• No more than three 90° elbows should
be used. Distance between elbows
should be at least 18".
• Recommended Jenn-Air wall cap
MUST 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
wall.
