Cleaning and Care

BEFORE CLEANING, BE CERTAIN ALL ELEMENTS ARE TURNED OFF AND THE

TOP OF THE ELEMENTS ARE COOL.

Cast Iron Solid Elements

The body of the solid element is made of high strength cast iron. The red lacquer dot on

some solid elements will eventually disappear after the element has been used or after it

is scoured. The cast iron will also lose its dark luster over a period of time. (See

instructions below for restoring cast iron.) These changes will not affect the solid

element's performance or durability.

• For normal cleaning, wipe the element with a damp cloth. Heat element on a

medium setting for a few minutes until completely dry.

• For light soil, use powdered cleansers such as Bon-Ami, Bar Keepers Friend, or

soft scrubbing cleansers. Rinse thoroughly. Heat element on a medium setting

until completely dry.

• For heavy soil, use soapy scouring pads such as S.O.S. or Brillo, a scouring pad

such as Scotch-Brite, or a brush with scouring powders. To facilitate the cleaning

process, first warm the element on a LO setting. Rinse thoroughly after cleaning.

Heat element on a MED setting until completely dry.

• For routine maintenance and to restore the cast iron, use Collo Electrol (Jenn-Air

Model A911 or Part No. 712190) or salt-free vegetable oil. Apply the Collo Electrol

by following package instructions. When the element is cool, use a clean cloth to

remove excess polish. A very thin coat of salt-free vegetable oil will also restore the

appearance of the cast iron. Apply with paper towel to a lukewarm element, wipe

off excess, and heat on MED setting to cure. If too much oil is used, the surface can

become tacky. If this happens, use procedures recommended for cleaning heavy

soil.

• Remove any food spills and spatters from elements as soon as possible with a

damp cloth. Dry thoroughly.

• The sensor in the Auto Temp elements may be cleaned with Bar Keepers Friend,

Zud or Collo Luneta (Jenn-Air Model A912, Part No. 712191).

Stainless Steel Seal Ring

The ring around the cast iron element prevents food spills from running under the

element. Made from stainless steel, the ring will change to a gold color when the

element is heated. This removeable discoloration is a normal characteristic of stainless

steel and will occur whenever the solid element is heated on a HI setting.

• To remove discoloration, use a non-abrasive stainless steel cleanser such as Bar

Keepers Friend, Zud or Collo Luneta (Jenn-Air Model A912, Part No. 712191).

Rinse thoroughly, wipe dry.
