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.
