technician.
2. Never use your appliance for warming or heating the room.
3. Children should not be left alone or unattended in area where appliance is
in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the
appliance.
4. Wear proper apparel. Loose-fitting or hanging garments should never be
worn while using the appliance.

recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to an
authorized Jenn-Air Service Contractor.

result inburnsfrom steam. Do not let potholder touch hot heating elements.
Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.

surface units of different size. Select cookware having flat bottoms large

Installation of these liners may result in an electric shock or fire hazard.
