Congratulations onyour choice ofa Jenn-Air grill-range. The indoor grilling
of meats, fish or fowl isone of the most attractive and succulent methods
ofpreparingthese foods.., a uniqueflexibility made possible by Jenn-Air's
patented integral ventilation system.
YourJenn-Airself-cleaningoven combinesthe bestoffourcooking methods,
conventional bakingor roasting, convection bakingor roastingand broiling.
The Jenn-Airconvection oven isactually aconventional oven that circulates
heatedairwithin theoven.As bothbake and broil heating elementscycle on
and off withthe thermostat, afan keepsthe heatedair circulatingaround the
food. The constantly recirculating heated air in the convection oven strips
away the layer of cooler air that surrounds the food. Consequently, many
foods cook more quickly. Evenly distributed heat makes multiple rack
cooking possible, Convection roasted meats retain their natural flavor and
juiciness with less shrinkagethan conventional roasting.
Inadditionto themany exclusivebenefits ofconvection cooking,your Jenn-
Airovenisalsoafinefullfeatured conventional bake andbroil oven. You can
cookyour "old favorite" recipes as you have in the past. The conventional
bake oven also gives you the flexibility of preparing various foods when
convection cooking may not be as beneficial, as whencooking foods in
covered casseroles or clay pots. The broil element is convenient for top
browning and oven broiling of foods.
Beforeyou begincooking with your newrange, pleasetake afew minutes to

Readbeforeoperatingyour range
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:
1. Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a
qualified technician.
2. Never use your appliance for warming or heating the room. This
warning is based on safety considerations.
3. 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.
4. Wear proper apparel. Loose-fitting orhanging garmentsshould
never be worn while using the appliance.
5. Do not repair orreplace any part ofthe appliance unless specifically
recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be
referred to an authorized Jenn-Air Service Contractor.
6. Do not store combustible materials,gasoline or other flammable
vapors and liquid near cooktop. This also applies to aerosol sprays
and aerosol spray cans.
7. Do not use water on grease fires. Smother fire or flame or use dry
chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
8.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.
9. Select cookware large enough to properly contain food and avoid
boilovers or spillovers. This will save on cleaning and prevent
hazardous accumulations of food, sinceheavy splattering or
spillovers left on a cooktop canignite. Pan size is especially
important in deep fat frying.
10. Never leave rangetop unattended at Hi heat settings. Boilover
causes smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite.
11. TYPE OF COOKWARE - Avoid pans that are unstable and easily
tipped. Lnchoosing pans, look for easily-grasped handles that will
stay cool. 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.
5

12. HANDLES - Always turn panhandles to thesideor backof the
rangetop - not out into the room where they are easily hit.
COOKWARE HANDLES SHOULD BE TURNED INWARD AND
NOT EXTEND OVER ADJACENT SURFACE BURNERS to
minimize burns, ignition of flammablematerials, and spillagedue to
unintentional contact with the cookware.
13. CAUTION - Do not storeitems of interest to children in cabinets
above range - children climbing on the range to reach items could
be seriously injured.
14. Do nottouch grill and surface burner areas, or perimeter trim around
rangetop or interior surfaces of oven. During and after use, these
areas may be hotenough to cause burns.Avoid contact with these
areas by clothing or other flammable materials until they have had
sufficient time to cool.Other surfaces may become hot enough to
cause burns - among these surfaces are the upper door frame and
door, oven vent opening and surfaces near the opening, and the top
edge of the control panel,
15. Do not heat unopened food containers.Buildup of pressure may
cause container to burst and result in injury.
16. Keepall controls "Off" when unit is not in use.
1"7. Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed. The oven is vented under the
air grille.
18. GREASE - Grease is flammable and should be handled carefully.
Never leaveany cooking operation unattended.Let fatcool before
attempting to handle it. Do not allow grease to collect around the
rangetop or in thevents. Wipeup spillovers immediately.
19. If the range is installed near a window, proper precautions should
be taken to prevent curtains from blowing over burners creating a
FIRE HAZARD.
20. Do not use aluminum foil to line aeration tray or burner basin.
Restriction of normal air flow may result in unsafe operation.
21. Do not use cookware on the grill section of this appliance.
22,Before servicing your appliance,disconnect power to the range at
the main fuse orcircuit breaker panel and atthe electrical receptacle.
23.Always allow hotpans to cool ina safeplace out of the reach of small
children.
24. A faint gas odor may indicate a gas leak.If a gas odor is detected,
shut offthe gas supply to the range. 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.

25. Clean only parts listed in this manual and use procedures
recommended.
26. Flame size should be adjusted so it does not extend beyond the
edge of the cookware, this instructionis based on safety
consideration.
27. 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 manual. Do not use
eyelid covers for the surface burners, stovetop grills or add-on
convection systems. The use of devices or accessories that are not
expressly recommended in this manual can create serious safety
hazards result inperformance problems and reduce the life of the
components of the appliance.
28. Glazed cookware - only certain types of glass, glass-ceramic,
ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed cookpots are suitable for
rangetop surface without breaking due to the sudden change in
temperature. Use only such cookware as you know has been
approved for this purpose.
29. Avoid placing the range in a main "trafficpath" or in an isolated
location with no counter space nearby. Visualize the oven in use
before selecting a location. Remember that open oven doors may
block a passageway and create a hazard.
30. Use care when opening oven door. Let hot air or steam escape
before removing or replacing food.
31. Always place oven racks in desired location while oven is cool. If
rack must be moved while oven is hot, do not let potholder contact
hot heating element in oven.
32. Do not clean door gasket. The door gasket is essential for a good
seal. Care should betaken not torub, damage, or move the gasket.
33. Do not use oven cleaners. No commercial oven cleaner or oven
liner protective coating of any kind should be used inor around any
part of the oven.
34.CAUTION: BEFORE SELF-CLEANING THE OVEN,REMOVE

Jenn-Air's ventilation system is designed to captureboth cooking fumes and smoke
while grilling. If the system does not, these are somedueling installation situations to
check:
•6" diameter round or 31/4'' x 10" rectangular ducting should be used for duct lengths
10'-60'.Note: 5"diameter round dueting must be used ifthe duct length is10'
or less.
• No more than three 90° elbows should beused. Distance between e_bowsshould
be at least t 8".
• Recommended Jenn-Air wall cap should be used. Make sure damper moves freely
when ventilation system is operating.
• There should be a minimum clearance of 6" for cooktop installed near a side wall.
If there is not an obvious improper installation, there may be a concealed problem such
as a pinched joint, obstruction in the pipe, etc. Installation is the £espon_ of the
installer and questions should be addressed first by the installer. The installer should
very carefully check the ducting installation instructions.

Thebuilt-inventilation system removescooking vapors, odors and smoke from foodsprepared
on the cooktop, grill and grill accessories. Regular use of this system will insure a more
comfortableandless humidkitchenwhich isfreeof heavycooking odorsandfumes that normally
createafrequent need for cleaningand redecorating.
• The downdraft ventilation system features a two speed fan.
The fan positions are: Hi, Lo, and Off.To turn on the
ventilation system, push the Fan Switch to the upper position
for Hi and the lower position for Lo.
• To turn the ventilation system Off, return the switch to the middleposition.
•The ventilation system will operate automatically on Hi speed when the grill burner
is in use. During grilling, thefan speed is automatically set for theHi setting AND
cannot be changed to Lo speed.
• Use the Hi fan speed for capturing steam.Use Lo fan speed for capturing smoke
when pan frying.
• The fan can be used to remove strong odors from the kitchen as when chopping
onions near the fan.
• Besides using the ventilation system to remove cooking vapors and fumes, it can
be used to cool baked pies or cakes. To cool an item, set it on theair grille and turn
on the fan. The air being pulled over the item will quickly cool it. Be careful not to
cover theoven vent or theentire air grille,

Your new cooktop burners have been preset for an "average" set of conditions. Regional
variances in gas pressure and atmospheric conditions such as height above sea level
may affect your initial flame performance.
When the control knob is turned on, gas enters the mixer tube and mixes with air. This
air and gasmixtureflowsto the burner head and is lighted byaspark from thesolid state
igniter.
A properly adjusted burner with clean ports will light within a few seconds.The cone-
shaped flame will be clear blue in color with aclearly defined inner cone. There should
be no trace of yellow in the flame. A yellow flame indicates an improper mixture of air
and gas. (When using LP gas, someyellow in a flame is acceptable.) If your flame does
not resemble the "correct" flame as described above, follow the air shutteradjustment
instructions below.
The infinite surface controls for the surface burners and grill burner provide flexibility in
setting selection.
Note.' The grill can bereplaced with an optional surface burner module, Model AG202.
Surface Burners
In case of prolonged power failure,you can manually light the surface burner by holding
alighted match near the burner ports and slowly turning the control knob counterclockwise
(after depressing) until the gas ignites. There is no fan so smoke and condensation can
gather.

Toachieve optimum cooking performance use cookpots with flat bottoms and tight fitting
covers. Flame size should be adjusted so it does not extend beyond the edge of the
cookware. This instruction is based on safety considerations. Adjusting the size of the
flame to fit the size of the coekware also helps to save fuel.
Important."Leave a minimum of 1,/2"between side ef panand surrounding surfaces, such
as countertop backsplash or side walls, to allow heat to escape to avoid possible damage
to these areas.
•Aluminum cookware heats evenly and quickly. A slightly larger flame size can be
used.The flame can be adjusted so it comes tothe edgeofthecoekware. However,
the flame should NEVER be adjusted so that it extends beyond the bottom of the
cookware.
• Stainless steel cookware with copper or aluminum cores heat evenly and fairly
quickly. The flame size should be adjusted to extend only halfway between center
and edgeof the cookware bottom for best results.
• Cast iron ceokware heats slowly.
• Check manufacturer's recommendations before using porcelain on steel, porcelain
on cast iron, glass,glass-ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed coekpots.
If the cookware is covered, less fuel will be needed.Therefore, a lower flame size can
be used.
Note: Food will not cook any faster when morethan the amount of heat needed to
maintain a gentle boil is used.
14

•Since the controls are a push-turn type,they must be pushed in before turning. To
set (from the Off position), push in on control knob and immediately turn counterclock-
wise to the Lite position until burner ignites. After ignition, turn knob clockwise to
desired setting.
• Igniterwill continue to spark until knob isturned clockwise back to or past Hi position

The grill consists of two black grill grates and a grill burner. Only install the grill on the
left side of your range.
To Install Grill Module
1. Before installing grill components, be certain control knobs are in the Off position.
2. Position the grill burner with mixer tube openings toward the orifices. Slide the
burner towards the orifices until the igniter is in between front and rear grill sections.
Lower into place until side openings are resting on the burner support pins.
3.Place the grill grates on the top of the rangetop.
NOTE: Before using the grill for the first time, heat the E-ven HeatTM grill burner to
remove the protective shipping coating. Heat the grill on Hi for 10 minutes and
usethe vent system to remove any additional smoke during cooling.
To Remove Grill Module
1. Be sure control knobs arein theOff position. Removegrill components once they
are cool.
2. Remove grill grates.
3. Lift the grill burnerupoff thesupport pinsabout 2inches. Slidethe burneraway
from the orifices.

•Beforethe first use,wash your new grill grates in hotsoapy water, rinseand dry.
Then "season"the surface by wiping on a thin coating of cooking oil. Remove
excess oil by wiping again with another paper towel. Thisprocedureshould be
repeatedwhen: a) cleaningin the dishwashersincethe detergent may remove
seasoning,or b) anytimea sugar-basedmarinade(forexample,barbecuesauce)
is goingto be used.
•Use nonmetallicspatulasor utensilstoprevent damagingtheExcalibur®nonstick
grill grate finish.
• Preheat the gdll on Hi for 5 minutes. Preheating improves the flavor and
appearanceof meats and quicklysears the meat to help retain thejuices.
•Excessiveamounts of fat shouldbe trimmedfrom meats. Somefat is necessary
to produce the smoke needed for that smoked,"outdoor" flavor.However,
excessivefat can create cleaningand flare-up problems.
•Allowing excessiveamountsof grease or drippingsto constantly flame voids the
warrantyon thegrill grates.Excessiveflare-upsindicatethat eitherthegrill interior
needsto be cleanedor that excessiveamountsof fat are in the meator themeat
was not properlytrimmed.
• Grease drippingswill occasionally igniteto produceharmlesspuffs of flame for a
second or two. This is a normalpart of the cooking process.
•NEVERLEAVE GRILL UNATTENDEDDURING GRILL OPERATION.
Should excess grease cause sustained flare-up
1.Turn on FANmanually.
2. Immediatelyturn grill control knobs to Off position.
3. Removemeat from grill.
IMPORTANT
• Denot usealuminum foil insidethe grill area.
•Donot usecharcoal orwoodchips in thegrill area.
• Do not allowburnerbasin to becomeoverloadedwith grease.Cleanafter each
use,
• Do notcover gratescompletelywith meat. Leaveair space betweeneachsteak,
