About Jenn-Airyour Your Jenn-Air cooktop offers new vistas in food preparation. The countertop 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. Since this manual explains how you can obtain the best use of your Jenn-Air, it is essential that you follow the instructions carefully.
Ventilation System 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. Using the Ventilation System • To operate the ventilation system manually, front of the ventilation grille. • The ventilation use.
Cleaning the Ventilation Surface Area Surface System Under Counter Area Ventilation Grille: The surface grille lifts off easily. Wipe clean or wash in sink with mild household detergents. May be washed in dishwasher. Filter: Turn off ventilation system before removing. Turn filter retainer clip to remove filter. 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.

Controls for the cooktop cartridges and grill element provide flexibility in heat To Set Controls • Since the centre s are a push,turn type, they must be pushed down before turning. To set (from the OFF position), push down on control knob and turn in either direction to desired heat setting. • When control is in any position, other than OFF, it may be turned in any direction pushing down.
Using Cooktop Cartridges Cooktop cartridges, either conventional coil, glass-ceramic, tion, can be installed in certain cooktops. _i_ solid element or induc- r_ To Install 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 20 for cleaning recommendations.) 2. To install any of the optional cooktop cartridges, first be sure control knobs are turned OFF.
Conventional Coil Cooktop For best results, most efficient use of electricity and to prevent damage to the conventional coil elements, select cookware as described below. The variable control setting allows flexibility in selecting desired heat. The HI setting should be used only to start cooking. The control should then be turned to a lower setting. Energy can be saved by avoiding unnecessary rapid boiling of foods and covering utensils when bringing water to a boil.
Cleaning the Conventional Coil Cooktop The cooktop cartridge does not need to be removed for normal cleaning. Never immerse cartridge in water to clean. This can damage wiring. A drain hole within the cartridge permits drainage of normal spills into the porcelain drain pan where it will drain into the grease container. Interior and bottom of cartridge may be wiped clean with detergent solution if necessary. Cartridge terminals, if dirty, may be polished with S.O.S.
Cleanln your Steel Stainless Cooktop Stainless steel tends to more readily show heat discoloration than other cooktop materials, but this discoloration is removable. Heat discoloration is caused by using oversized utensils, such as canners or stock pots that extend more than one-inch beyond the edge of the heating element, or by using utensils that are not flat, such as ones having rippled or warped bottoms, along with the prolonged use of the high heat setting.
Glass-Ceramic Cooktop For best results, always use proper cookware as described below. Utensils should match the size of the heating element. The utensils should be made of a material which conducts heat well and does not warp after heating, such as heavy duty aluminum and stainless steel. Different utensils and different amounts of food being prepared will affect the temperature control setting. (See page 8 for typical control settings.
Cleaning Save on the Clean-up Glass-Ceramic Cooktop Time • Make sure bottoms of cookware utensils are always clean and dry. Before using utensils on the glass-ceramic cooktop for the first time, and periodically as needed, clean the bottoms with scouring pads or other cleansers. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Soil from the utensil bottom can be transferred to the cooktop surface. • Make it a practice to wipe cooktop surface with a clean damp cloth or paper towel before each use; dry thoroughly.
Daily Care • After cooktop has cooled, remove any spillover or spatter. • The cartridge does not need to be removed from the cooktop for normal cleaning. If removed, bottom may be wiped clean with damp cloth. If electrical terminals on cartridge are cleaned, dry them thoroughly before using.
Grilling The grill accessory consists of two black grill grates, a grill element and two grill-rocks. To install Grill 1. Before installing grill components, be certain surface controls are in the OFF position. 2. Place the two grill-rocks into an empty grill basin with their handles running parallel to the front of the cooktop. These grill-rocks must be used since they support the grill element. 3. Position the grill element with the terminal plug towards the terminal receptacle.
• Before using the grill for the first time, wash grill grates in hot soapy water; rinse anddry. • 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.
