NOTES:
• On Canadian models, some or all of the surface will not operate during a self-clean
cycle.
• Cooktop may emit light smoke and odor the first few times the cooktop is used. This
is normal.
• When a control is turned on, a red glow can be seen through the glass-ceramic surface.
The element will cycle on and off to maintain the preset heat setting.
• Glass-ceramic cooktops retain heat for a period of time after the unit is turned off.
When the HOT SURFACE light turns off (see below), the cooking area will be cool
enough to touch.
• NOTE: Do not attempt to lift the cooktop.

OOKING REAS
The cooking areas on your range are identi-
fied by permanent patterns on the glass-
ceramic surface. For most efficient cooking,
fit the pan size to the element size.
Pans should not extend more than
inch beyond the cooking area.
For more information on cookware, refer to
"Cooking Made Simple" booklet.

Each element has a HOT SURFACE indicator
light. A light will be illuminated when the
matching cooking area is hot. It will remain
on, even after the control is turned off, until
the area has cooled. They are located adja-
cent to each element.

• Do not allow plastic, sugar or foods with
high sugar content to melt onto the hot
cooktop. Should this happen, clean imme-
diately. (See Cleaning, page 15.)
• Never let a pan boil dry as this will damage
the surface and pan.

• Never use cooktop as a work surface or
cutting board. Never cook food directly on
the surface.
• Never place a trivet or wok ring between
the surface and pan. These items can mark
or etch the top.

• Do not slide aluminum pans across a hot
surface. The pans may leave marks which
need to be removed promptly. (See Clean-
ing, page 15.)
• Make sure the surface and the pan bottom
are clean before turning on to prevent
scratches.
• To prevent scratching or damage to the
glass-ceramic top, do not leave sugar, salt or
fats on the cooking area. Wipe the cooktop
surface with a clean cloth or paper towel
before using.
• Never use a soiled dish cloth or sponge to
clean the cooktop surface. A film will re-

main which may cause stains on the cooking
surface after the area is heated.
• Do not use a small pan on a large element.
Not only does this waste energy, but it can
also result in spillovers burning onto the
cooking area which requires extra cleaning
.

• Do not use non-flat specialty items that are
oversized or uneven such as round bottom
woks, rippled bottom and/or oversized can-
ners and griddles.
• Do not slide heavy metal pans across the
surface since these may scratch.
• Do not use foil or foil-type containers. Foil
may melt onto the glass. If metal melts on the
cooktop, do not use. Call an authorized
Jenn-Air Servicer.
• If a spillover occurs while cooking, immedi-
ately clean the spill from the cooking area
while it is hot to prevent a tough cleaning
chore later. Using extreme care, wipe spill
with a clean dry towel.
• Do not allow spills to remain on the cooking
area or the cooktop trim for a long period of
time.
• Do not use abrasive cleansing powders or
scouring pads which will scratch the cooktop.
• Do not use chlorine bleach, ammonia or
other cleansers not specifically recom-
mended for use on glass-ceramic.
• To retain the appearance of the glass-
ceramic cooktop, clean after each use.
NOTES:
• Glass ceramic surfaces retain heat.
Turn the elements off a few minutes
before food is completely cooked and
use the retained heat to complete the
cooking.
Because of the heat retention charac-
teristics, the elements will not respond
to changes in settings as quickly as coil
elements. In the event of a potential
boilover, remove the pan from the
cooking area.

OOKWARE
To achieve optimum cooking performance,
use heavy-gauge, flat, smooth bottom pans
that conform to the diameter of the cooking
area. ( See "Cooking Made Simple" for
cookware characteristics and recommenda-
tions.)
