Melt Cap; Surface Grates; Jx3™ Downdraft Ventilation System - Jenn-Air JGD3430GS Use & Care Manual

To Clean:
IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are OFF and
the oven and cooktop are cool. Do not use oven cleaners, bleach,
or rust removers.
1. Remove the burner cap from the burner base and clean
according to the "General Cleaning" section.
2. Clean the gas tube opening with a damp cloth.
3. Clean clogged burner ports with a straight pin as shown. Do not
enlarge or distort the port. Do not use a wooden toothpick. If the
burner needs to be adjusted, contact a trained repair specialist.
4. Replace the burner cap, making sure the alignment pins
are properly aligned with the burner cap. Each round burner
cap is marked with letters indicating the burner size. Place
the burner caps on the appropriate burner bases.
5. Turn on the burner. If the burner does not light, verify the
burner cap placement and check cap and burner base
alignment. If the burner still does not light, do not service the
sealed burner yourself. Contact a trained repair specialist.

Melt Cap

For melting chocolate or butter or an even more delicate simmer, the
melt cap can be used in place of the standard burner cap. The melt
cap should only be used on the small burner (right rear). Remove the
small burner cap and replace it with the larger melt cap for delicate
simmering. For less delicate simmering, use the small cap.

Surface Grates

The grates must be properly positioned before cooking. In the proper
position the grates should be flush and level. Improper installation of
the grates may result in chipping or scratching of the cooktop.
To ensure proper positioning, align bumpers on grate bottom with
the indentations in the cooktop. See cooktop illustrations in the
"Parts and Features" section for proper grate positioning.
Although the burner grates are durable, they will gradually lose
their shine and/or discolor due to the high temperatures of the
gas flame.

JX3™ Downdraft Ventilation
System
C
A. Removable grease filter
B. Downdraft grate
C. Filter support tray (non-removable)
The built-in downdraft ventilation system removes cooking
vapors, odors, and smoke from foods prepared on the cooktop.
IMPORTANT: For optimal performance, operate downdraft
ventilation system with the filter properly installed.
To avoid the buildup of grease, the filter should be cleaned often.
The filter should always be placed at an angle. As you face the
front of the cooktop, the top of the filter should rest against the
right side of the vent opening. The bottom of the filter should rest
against the left side of the vent chamber at the bottom.
If the filter is flat against the fan wall, ventilation effectiveness will
be reduced.
To Use:
Turn vent knob to desired speed: HI, LO, or to the midpoint
between Hi and Lo for Medium. Turn vent fan knob to OFF
when finished cooking or when the cooktop is not in use.
