Hi 7-10 A fast heat to start cooking quickly, to bring liquids to a boil or blanch. (Medium High) For fast frying or browning foods, to maintain rapid boil of large amounts of food.
Toachieve optimum cooking performance, use heavy gauge, flat, smooth bottom cookpots that conform to the diameter of the cooking area. Proper cookpots wil! minimize cooking times, use tess electricity, cook food more evenly and require less water or oil Cookpots with thin, uneven bottoms do not adequately conduct heat from the cooking area to the food in the cookpots which results in hot spots, burned or underdone food. Improper cookpots require more water, time and energy to cook food.
• Do not use cookware that extends more than 1 inch beyond the edge of the cooking area. • Do not use a small cookpot on a large element. Not only can this cause the element to require more energy and time, but it can also result in spillovers burning onto the element which cause extra effort in cleaning.

(See p. 16.) • For best results, always use recommended cookware. • Make sure bottom of cookware is clean before placing on cooktop.
• Do NOT allow p}astic objects, sugar, or foods with high sugar content to melt onto the hot cooktop. Melted materials can cause permanent damage to the cooktop, If you accidentally melt anything onto the cooktop, or a sugary solution boils over, remove it immediately while the cooktop is stil_hot. Carefu)ty, use a single edge razor blade held with a pot holder to scrape the melted material or sugary boilover to a cooler area of the cooktop.
When choosing cookware for the induction elements, consider the material, gauge, and size of the cookware. Note: Cookware does NOT have to be flat for optimum performance on the induction elements. The cookware MUST be made of a ferromagnetic material in order to work on the induction cooktop. To determine if a material is magnetic, test the bottom of the cookware with a magnet. If the magnet sticks to the outside bottom of the cookware, the cookware wilt work on your induction element.
Aninduction cooktop responds likea gascooktop, quicktoheatandinstant response whenturnedoff. Thecookingareasareidentified bycirclesontheglass-ceramic cooktop.Whenan element is turned ON, the induction coils located under the glass create a magnetic field. When a ferromagnetic the element, the pot gets hot. pot at least 4" in diameter is placed on • Place the cookpot on the cooking area before turning on the controls. • DO NOT HEAT AN EMPTY COOKPOT OR SKILLET.
Thebuilt-in ventilation system removes cooking vapors, odors, smoke andsteam from foods prepared on the cooktop. 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 creaning and redecorating. • The fan control is located at the front of the control panel. To operate the ventilation system manually, turn the fan control knob clockwise.
Jenn-Air's ventilation system is designed to capture both cooking fumes, smoke and steam. If the system does not, these are some ducting installation situations to check: • 6" diameter round or 3 '/4" x 10" rectangular ducting should be used. diameter round ducting may be used if the duct length is !0' or less. Note: 5" • No more than three 90 ° etbows should be used. Distance between erbows should be at least 18". • Recommended Jenn-Air wail cap should be used.
BEFORE CLEANING, BE CERTAIN ALL ELEMENTS ARE TURNED OFF AND THE COOKTOP IS COOL. CAUTION: I Do NOT use a cooktop cleaner on a hot cooktop. The can be hazardous to your health and can chemically attack the fumes g ass-ceramic surface. [ NOTE: the Ptastic objects, foods with high sugar content allowed to mett onto cooktop cansugar cause ordamage. See page tl for cleaning instructions.

Check the following list to be sure a service call is really necessary. of this manual may prevent an unneeded service calf. A quick reference if nothing on the cooktop operates: • check for a blown circuit fuse or a tripped main circuit breaker. • check if cooktop is properly connected to electric circuit in house. If cooktop elements do not get hot enough: • surface controls may not be set properly. • voltage to house may be low. • cookware may not be flat or the correct size or shape.
Model CCE3451 Only: If pan frying results are poor: • bottom diameter of skillet may be too large. (For better browning, match the bottom diameter of the skillet with the size of the cooking area.) • thin gauge skillets tend to have hot spots. • too high of control setting was selected initially. Induction elements produce HOT skillets instantly. Model CVE3400 Only: If ventilation system is not capturing smoke efficiently: • check on cross ventilation in room or make up air.
