The built-in ventilation system removes cooking vapors, odors and smoke from foods prepared on your cooktop. Regular use of this system will insure a more comfortable and less humid kitchen which isfree of heavy cooking odors and fumes that normally create a frequent need for cleaning and redecorating.
Jenn-Air's ventilation system is designed to capture both cooking fumes and smoke from any place on the cooktop surface. If the system does not, these are some ducting installation situations to check: • 6" diameter round or 3 1/4" x 10" rectangular ducting should be used for duet lengths 10'-60'. Note: 5" diameter round ducting must be used for venting straight out the back of the eooktop and directly through the wall for 10' or tess. • No more than three g0° elbows should be used.
To achieve optimum cooking performance, use cookpots with flat bottoms, tight fitting covers, and sized for the surface burner. The cooktop is equipped with two small and two large surface burners. Flame size should be adjusted so it does not extend beyond the edge of the cookware. This instruction is based on safety considerations. Adjusting the size of the flame to fit the size of the cookware also helps to save fuel.
When the control knob is turned ON, gas will flow into the burner. The solid state igniter will click until the gas is ignited. (Note: All burner igniters will spark regardless of which burner is being operated.) If the burner flame should go out, the automatic reignition system will automatically spark to reignite that burner. This feature is provided as a convenience. It is not intended to be interpreted as a safety feature. A properly adjusted burner with clean ports will light within a few seconds.
