The size and type of cookware used and the amount and type of food being cooked will influence the setting needed for best cooking results. Electrical line voltage may also vary, which will affect the needed control setting+ The setting indicated should serve as a guide while you become familiar with your cooktop. Hi 7-10 5-6 3-4 LO-2 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.
To achieve optimum cooking performance, use heavy gauge, flat, smooth bottom cookpetsthat conformto the diameterofthe cookingarea. Propercookpotswillminimize cooking times, use less electricity, cook food more evenly and require less water or eil. Cookpots with thin, uneven bottoms do not adequatelyconduct heatfrom the cooking area to the food in the cookpots which results in hot spots, burned or underdone food. Impreper cookpots require more water, time and energy to cook food. • Selectheavygauge¢ookpots.
• Donot use cookwarethat extendsmorethan 1 inch beyondthe edge of the cooking area. • Donot usea small cookpoton a largeelement. Not onlycan this causethe element to require more energyand time, but it can also result in spilloversburning onto the element which cause extra effort in cleaning.
The cooking areas are identified by circles on the glass-ceramic cooktop. When an element is turned ON, the cooktopwill heat up and the red glow of the heatingelement can be seenthroughthe glass-ceramictop. It is normaltosee the red glowof theelement wheneverit is ON. • BEFORE FIRST USE CLEAN COOKTOP.(See p. 16.) • For best results, always use recommendedcookware. • Make sure bottomof cookware is clean before placing on cooktop.
• Do NOT allow plastic objects, sugar, or foods with high sugar contentto melt onto the hot cooktop. Meltedmaterialscan cause permanent damageto the cooktop. If you accidentally melt anything onto the cooktop, or a sugary solution boils over, removeit immediatelywhilethecooktopis still hot. Carefully,usea singleedge razor blade held with a pot holder to scrape the melted material or sugary boilover to a coolerarea of thecooktop.
When choosingeookwarefor the induction elements,consider the material,gauge, and size of the cookware. Note: Cookware does NOT have to be flat for optimum performanceon the induction elements. The cookware MUST be made of a ferromagnetic material in order to work on the inductioncooktop. Todetermine ifa materialis magnetic,testthe bottomofthe cookware with a magnet, If the magnetsticks to the outsidebottom of thecookware, the cookware will work on your induction element.
An induction cooktop responds like a gas cooktop, quick to heat and instant response when turned off. The cooking areas are identified by circles on the glass-ceramic cooktop. When an element is turned ON, the induction coils located under the glass create a magneticfield. When a ferromagnetic pot at least 4" in diameter is placedon the element,the pot gets hot. • Placethe cookpet on the cookingarea beforeturning on the controls. • DO NOT HEAT AN EMPTY COOKPOT OR SKILLET.
The built-in ventilation system removes cooking vapors, odors, smoke and steam 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 cleaning 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 V4" x 10" rectangular ducting should be used. diameter round ducting may be used if the duct length is 10' or less. Note: 5" • No more than three 90° elbows should be used. Distance between elbows should be at least 18". • Recommended Jenn-Air wall cap should be used.
BEFORE CLEANING, BE CERTAIN ALL ELEMENTS ARE TURNED OFF AND THE COOKTOP iS COOL. CAUTION: Do NOT use a cooktop cleaner on a hot cooktop. The fumes can be hazardous to your health and can chemically attack the glass-ceramic surface. NOTE: Plastic objects, sugar or foods with high sugar content allowed to melt onto the cooktop can cause damage. See page 11 for cleaning instructions.

If cooktop elements do not get hot enough: • surfacecontrols may not be set properly. • voltage to house may be low. • cookwaremay not be flat or the correct size or shape.
Model CCE3451 Only: If pan frying results are poor: • bottom diameterof skillet may be too large. (Forbetter browning, matchthe bottom diameter of the skillet with the size of the cooking area.) • thin gauge skillets tend to have hot spots. • too high of control settingwas selected initially. Inductionelements produce HOT skillets instantly. Model CVE3400 Only: If ventilation system is not capturing smoke efficiently: • check on cross ventilationin room or make up air.
