Important Safety Instructions
Read before operating your
cooktop
All appliances - regardless of the manufacturer - have the
potential through improper or careless use to create safety
problems. Therefore the following safety precautions should
be observed. Please retain this guide for future reference.
1. Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded
by a qualified technician. Installer - please leave this
guide with the appliance.

13.
TYPE OF COOKWARE - Avoid pans that are unstable
and easily tipped. Pans that are too heavy when filled
with food can also be a hazard. If pan handles twist and
cannot be tightened, discard the pan.
HANDLES - Always turn pan handles to the side or back
of the cooktop - not out into the room where they are
easily hit. COOKWARE HANDLES SHOULD BE
TURNED INWARD AND NOT EXTEND OVER AD-
JACENT SURFACE BURNERS to minimize burns,
ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to
unintentional contact with the cookware.
.
o
.
Never use your appliance for warming or heating the
room. This warning is based on safety considerations.
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.
Wear proper apparel. Loose-fitting or hanging gar-
ments should never be worn while using the appliance.
14.
15.
CAUTION - Do not store items of interest to children in
cabinets above cooktop-children climbing on the cooktop
to reach items could be seriously injured.
Do not touch surface burner areas or any areas near
burners. During and after use, these areas may be hot
enough to cause burns. Avoid contact with these areas by
clothing or other flammable materials until they have had
sufficient time to cool.
,
Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless
specifically recommended in this manual. All other
servicing should be referred to an authorized Jenn-Air
Service Contractor.
16. Do not heat unopened food containers. Build-up of
pressure may cause container to burst and result in injury.
17. Keep all controls "Off" when unit is not in use.
,

Do not store combustible materials, gasoline or other
flammable vapors and liquid near cooktop.
Do not use water on grease fires. Smother fire or flame
or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
18o
GREASE - Grease is flammable and should be handled
carefully. Never leave any cooking operation unat-
tended. Let fat cool before attempting to handle it. Do
not allow grease to collect around the cooktop. Wipe up
spillovers immediately.
°
Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on
hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not use
a towel or other bulky cloth.
19. If the cooktop is installed near a window, proper precau-
tions should be taken to prevent curtains from blowing
over burners creating a FIRE HAZARD.
o
10.
Select cookware large enough to properly contain food 20.
and avoid boilovers or spillovers. This will save on
cleaning and prevent hazardous accumulations of food,
since heavy splattering or spi!lovers left on a cooktop can
ignite. Pan size is especial] y important in deep fat frying. 21.
Do not allow large pans to extend beyond the edge of the
surface burner grates. Refer to page 4, "Using Your
Cooktop" for large pan usage guidelines.
22.
Do not use aluminum foil to line burner spillover bowl.
Restriction of normal air flow may result in unsafe
operation.
Clean only parts listed in this manual and use procedures
recommended.
Always allow hot pans to cool in a safe place out of the
reach of small children.
l 1. Never
leave cooktop unattended at Hi heat settings.
Boilover causes smoking and greasy spillovers that may
ignite.
23. A faint gas odor may indicate a gas leak. If a gas odor is
detected, shut off the gas supply to the cooktop. Call your
installer or local gas company to have the possible leak
checked. Never use a match or other flame to locate a
gas leak.
