Jenn-Air GAS COOKTOPS Cooktop User Manual


 
Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials
accumulate in or near the appliance, hood or vent fan.
Clean hood frequently to prevent grease from
accumulating on hood or filter. When flaming foods under
the hood, turn the fan on.
NEVER wear garments made of flammable material or
loose fitting or long-sleeved apparel while cooking. Clothing
may ignite or catch utensil handles.
Deep Fat Frying
Use extreme caution when moving the grease pan or
disposing of hot grease. Allow grease to cool before at-
tempting to move pan.
Utensil Safety
Use pans with flat bottoms and handles that are easily
grasped and stay cool. Avoid using unstable, warped, easily
tipped or loose-handled pans. Also avoid using pans,
especially small pans, with heavy handles as they could be
unstable and easily tip. Pans that are heavy to move when
filled with food may also be hazardous.
Be sure utensil is large enough to properly contain food and
avoid boilovers. Pan size is particularly important in deep fat
frying. Be sure pan will accommodate the volume of food
that is to be added as well as the bubble action of fat.
To minimize burns, ignition of flammable materials, and
spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil, do
not extend handles over adjacent surface burners. Always
turn pan handles toward the side or back of the appliance,
not out into the room where they are easily hit or reached
by small children.
Never let a pan boil dry as this could damage the utensil
and the appliance.
Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic or
glazed utensils are suitable for cooktop usage without
breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. Follow
manufacturer’s instructions when using glass.
This appliance has been tested for safe performance using
conventional cookware. Do not use any devices or
accessories that are not specifically recommended in this
guide. Do not use element covers for the surface units or
stovetop grills. The use of devices or accessories that are
not expressly recommended in this manual can create
serious safety hazards, result in performance problems, and
reduce the life of the components of the appliance.
Electrical Connection
Cleaning Safety
Turn off all controls and wait for appliance parts to cool
before touching or cleaning them. Do not touch the burner
grates or surrounding areas until they have had sufficient
time to cool.
Clean appliance with caution. Use care to avoid steam burns
if a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot
surface. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if
applied to a hot surface.
Important Safety Notice
and Warning
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement
Act of 1986 (Proposition 65) requires the Governor of
California to publish a list of substances known to the State
of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm, and
requires businesses to warn customers of potential
exposures to such substances.
Users of this appliance are hereby warned that the burning
of gas can result in low-level exposure to some of the listed
substances, including benzene, formaldehyde and soot, due
primarily to the incomplete combustion of natural gas or
liquid petroleum (LP) fuels. Properly adjusted burners will
minimize incomplete combustion. Exposure to these
substances can also be minimized by properly venting the
burners to the outdoors.
IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING PET BIRDS: Never
keep pet birds in the kitchen or in rooms where the fumes
from the kitchen could reach. Birds have a very sensitive
respiratory system. Fumes released due to overheated
cooking oil, fat, margarine and overheated non-stick
cookware may be harmful or fatal to birds.

Appliances which require electrical
power are equipped with a three-
prong grounding plug which must
be plugged directly into a properly
grounded three-hole 120 volt electrical outlet.
Always disconnect power to appliance before servicing.
The three-prong grounding plug offers protection against
shock hazards. DO NOT CUT OR REMOVE THE THIRD
GROUNDING PRONG FROM THE POWER CORD PLUG.
If an ungrounded, two-hole or other type electrical outlet is
encountered, it is the personal responsibility of the
appliance owner to have the outlet replaced with a
properly grounded three-hole electrical outlet.
