SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS
Readbefore operating your cooktop
All appliances -- regardlessof the manufacturer-- have the
potentialthroughimproperorcarelessusetocreatesafetyprob-
lems. Therefore the following safety precautions should be
observed:
1. Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded
by aqualified technician.
2. Neveruseyour appliance for warming or heating the room.
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 or hanging garments
should never be worn while using the appliance.
5. 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
ServiceContractor.
6. Flammable materials should not be stored near surface
units.
7. Do not use water on grease fires.Smother fire or flame
or usedry 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 let
potholder touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel
or other bulky cloth.
9. Use proper pan size.Many appliances are equipped with
one or more surface units of different size. Selectcookware
having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit
heating element.The use of undersized cookware will :
expose a portion of the heating element to direct contact
and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship
of cookware to heating elementwill also improve efficiency
and performance.
10. Never leavesurface units unattended at high heatsettings.
Boil over causes smoking and greasy spillovers that may
ignite.

11. On conventional element cooktops make sure that drip
pans are in place. Absence of these pans during cooking
maysubject wiring or components underneath to damage.
12. Do not use aluminum foil to line surface unit drip pans
or grill basin. Installation of these liners may result in an
electric shock or fire hazard.
13. Glazed cookware -- only certain types of glass, glass-
ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed cookware
are suitable for cooktop surface without breaking due to
the sudden change in temperature. Use only such
cookware asyou know hasbeenapproved for this purpose.
14. Cookware handlesshould beturned inward and not extend
over adjacent surface heating elements to avoid burns,
ignition offlammable materials andspillage due to uninten-
tional contact with the cookware.
15. Do not soak or immerse removable heating elements in
water.
16. CAUTION -- Do not store items of interest to children
in cabinetsabovecooktop--children climbing on the cook-
top to reach items could be seriously injured.
17. Do not touch surface units or areas near units. Surface
units or heating elements may be hot even though they
are dark in color.Areas near surface units may become
hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not
touch or let clothing or other flammable materials contact
these areas until they have had sufficient time to cool.
Other surfaces may become hot enough to cause burns
-- among these surfaces are the cooktop.
18. Do not cook on glass-ceramic cooking surface if the cook-
top is broken. Cleaning solutions and spillovers may pene-
trate the broken cooktop and create a shock hazard.
Contact an authorized Jenn-Air Service Contractor.
19. Clean glass-ceramic cooktops with caution. If wet sponge
or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be
careful to avoid steam burns. Some cleanserscan produce
noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.
20. Do not operate with damaged cooking element after any
product malfunction until proper repair has been made.
21. Keep all switches "OFF" when unit is not in use.

Ventilation System
Thebuilt-in ventilation systemremovescooking vapors,odorsand smokefromfoods
preparedon the cooktop,grill and grill accessories.
Regularuse of this systemwill insure a more comfortable and lesshumid kitchen
which is free of heavycooking odors andfumes that normallycreateafrequent
needfor cleaningand redecorating.
Using the Ventilation System
•Tooperate the ventilationsystem manually, push the on/off switch located
in front ofthe air grille.
•The ventilationsystem will operate automatica/ly when the grill element is
in use.
•Besidesusing the ventilation systemto remove cookingvaporsand fumes,
it can be used to coolbaked pies, cakes or hot pans.To cool an item, set
iton theair grilleand turn on thefan. Theair being pulled over theitem
will quicklycool it. Becareful notto coverthe entire air grille.
•Thefan can beused to removestrong odors from thekitchen as when

Surface Controls
The variable heat controls for the cooktop cartridges and grill element provide flexibil-
ity in heat setting selection.
To Set Controls
• Since the controls are a push-turn type, they must be pushed down before turning.
To set (from the OFF position), push down on control knob and turn in either direction
to desired heat setting.
• When control is in any position, other than OFF, it may be turned in any direction
without pushing down.
• A red indicator light willglow when a surface heating element is ON,There is a light
for each cooking bay area.
4." Control Locations
1. Left rear heating element (rear Energy-Saver)
2. Left front heating element (front Energy-Saver)
3. Right front heating element (front Energy-Saver)
4. Right rear heating element (rear Energy-Saver)
2.3,
Note: The "Energy-Saver" grill element (right) is included with some cooktops or
may be purchased as an option. This permits utilizing only half of the grill area,
if desired, or using different heat settings for the front and rear position of the element.
When using this element, both cooktop controls, front and rear, must be turned
on in order to use the full grill area. For model C206-C(with standard grill element)
left rear heating element controls grill.
Suggested Control Settings
for Surface Elements e,erg-S.,e,
The size and type of cookware used and the amount and type of food being cooked
will influence the setting needed for best cooking results. Electrical line voltage
may also vary, which will affect theneeded control setting. The setting indicated
should serve as a guide while you become familiar with your cooktop.
HI A fast heat to start cooking quickly, to bring liquids to a boil, to preheat oil for deep
fat frying.Used for most grilling.
7-18(Medium High) For fastfrying or browning foods,to maintain rapid boil of large amounts
of food, to maintain oil temperature for deep fat frying.
5-6 (Medium) For foods cooked in a double boiler, saut6ing, slow boil of large amounts
of food, and mostfrying.
3-4 (Medium Lo) To continue cooking foods started on higher settings.
LO-2Maintaining serving temperatures of foods, simmering foods, melting butter or chocolate.
The heat controls offer flexibility in heat setting selection. On settings other than HI, you may
adjust the controls above or below the numbered setting for best results.This applies to settings
when using cooktop cartridges or when using the grill or any of the grill accessories. Suggested
settings areprovidedas general guidelines.

Using Cooktop
Cartridges
Cooktop cartridges, either conventional coil,glass-ceramic or solid element, can be
installed in most cooktops.
To Install Cartridges
1. If the grill element, grill-rocks or grates are in place, remove before installing
a cooktop cartridge. Clean grill basin of any grease accumulation. (See page
14 for cleaning recommendations.)
2. To install any of the optional cooktop cartridges, first be sure control knobs are
turned OFF.Position the cartridge terminal plug towards the terminal receptacle.
3. Slide the cartridge towards the receptacle until the cartridge terminal plug is
completely engaged.
4. Lower the opposite end of the cartridge into the cooktop until it is flush with
the surface.Your cooktop is now ready to use.
To Remove Cartridges
1.Control knobs must be in the OFF position and the cartridge should be cool.
2. Lift up on the "tab" located on the cartridge until top of cartridge clears the opening
on the cooktop by about 2 inches. Lifting the cartridge too high while still engaged
in the receptacle could damage the terminal plug.
3, To disengage terminal, hold cartridge by the sides and slide away from the terminal
receptacle.Lift out when fully unplugged.
4, A storage tray, Model A350, is available and canbe used for storing a cartridge.
5. Do not stack cartridges where they may fall or be damaged.Never store other
materials on top of the glass-ceramic cartridges sincethis could damage or mar
the surface.
Home Canning
Canning should be done on the conventional coil cartridge only. Canning element
accessory, Model A145, makes it possible to use large oversized canners with
conventional coil cartridge or right side of C206-C.
Foradditional information, refer touse and caremanual packaged with your cartridge.

Conventional
Coil Cooktop
For best results, most efficient use of electricity and to prevent damage to the conven-
tional coil elements, select cookware as described below.
The variable control setting allows flexibility in selecting desired heat. The HI setting
should be used only to start cooking. The control should then be turned to a lower
setting. Energy can be saved by avoiding unnecessary rapid boilingof foods and
covering pans when bringing water to a boil. Use the lowest setting possible to
maintain correct frying temperature to avoid excessive splattering. Use a tight fitting
lid on pans to speed cooking.
Retained heat in the elements can be used tofinish cooking.
Do not allow pans to boil dry as this could damage both the cooktop and pan.
Do not drop heavy cookware on the surface.
Selecting Proper Cookware
•Select cookware with flat bottoms. Flat bottom pans are the fastest and best
conductors of heat and provide the most consistent and satisfactory results.
The entire bottom of the pan should touch the heating element evenly. Avoid
using pans with convex, concave or irregular bottoms. A pan which is not
flat receives the most heat at the point of contact, which causes "hot spots"
and uneven heat distribution.Hot spots can result in scorching or burning
of the food. Uneven heat distribution slows the cooking process and wastes
energy.
•To determine if a pan is flat, lay a straight edge ruler against the bottom.
•Do not use a pan with a turned down flange around the bottom or a ripple
bottom.
•Do not use a wire trivet or any kind of heat retarding pad between the pan
and element. Reduce the heat control setting instead.
•Do not use pans that extend more than 1 inch on either side of the element.
Use the correct size pan for the size of the heating element. (See below for
exception for canners and stockpots.)
•Large stockpots and canners should be used with Jenn-Air's "Big-pot" canning
element only (Model A145). The use of large pots on the large element on
HI for extended periods of time can cause damage to the cooktop, discolor
the drip pans, as well as shorten the life of the element.
•Special cooking equipment without flat bottoms, such as the Oriental wok,
should not be used on thecooktop without theproper Jenn-Air accessory.
Only usetheJenn-Air accessory, Model A141-C, on the cooktop. It has a
special heating element designed to eliminate problems associated with using
traditional round bottom woks on the conventional coil cartridge, such as
shortening the life of the heating element.
J Note: The C206-C is designed with an automatic control that may turn on
the downdraft fan when large cookpots are used for extended periods. The
fan will shut off when the elements are turned off.

Gl lnng
The grill accessory consists of two black grill grates, a grill element and two grill-rocks.
To Install Grill
1. Before installing grill components, be certain surface controls are in the OFF position.
2. Place the two grill-rocks into an empty grill basin with their handles running parallel
to the front of the cooktop. These grill-rocks must be used since they support the
grill element.
3. Position the grill element with the terminal plug towards the terminal receptacle.
Slide the element towards the receptacle until the terminal plug iscompletely engaged.
4. The grill element should now rest on the handles of the grill-rocks.
5. Place the black grill grates on the top of the cooktop.
NOTE: The cooking bay on the extreme right of Model C316-C accepts cooktop
cartridges only.
To Remove Grill
1. Remove grill components once they are cool. Be sure control switches are in the
OFF position.
2. To remove grill element, pull away from receptacle until it is unplugged. Do not
lift the element while it is engaged in the receptacle since this could damage the
terminal.
3. A storage tray, Model A350, is available for purchase and can be used for storing
the grill assembly.
Installing Other Accessories
1. Remove the two black grill grates from the grill. Now you are ready to use the
optional grill accessories.
2. Review the instructions for installing and using the accessories that are packaged
with the accessory.

Using the Grill
• Before usingthe grill for the first time,washgrill grates in hot soapy water;rinse
and dry.
•Precondition new grates and grill-rocks by brushing with vegetable oil or spraying
with a nonstick coating such as Pam. This procedure should be repeated after
cleaning in a dishwasher since the detergent removes seasoning.
•For easier clean-up, as well as preventing meats fromsticking to grates until
theyareseasoned, spray grates, grill-rocks and grill basin with a nonstickcoating.
•Preheat grill on HI setting for 5 minutes. Preheating improves the flavor and
appearanceof meats and quickly sears the meat to help retain the juices.The
heating element should glow a bright cherry red.
•Excessive amounts of fatshouldbe trimmed from meats.Only a normal amount
is necessaryto produce the smoke needed for that smoked, "outdoor"flavor.
Excessivefat can create cleaning and flame-up problems.
• Allowing excessive amounts of grease or drippings to constantly flame voids the
warranty on grill grates.Excessive flame-ups indicatethat either thegrill interior
needs to be cleanedor that excessive amounts of fat are in the meat or the
meat was not properly trimmed.
• Greasedrippings will occasionallyigniteto produce harmless puffs of flame for
a secondortwo. This is a normal part of the cooking process.
•NEVER LEAVE GRILL UNATTENDEDDURING GRILL OPERATION.
Should exeess grease cause sustained flame-up
1. Turn onFAN manually.
2. Immediately turngrillheatcontrolswitchto OFF position.
3. Removemeatfrom grill.
IMPORTANT
• Do not usealuminum foilinsidethegrill area.
• Do not usecharcoalor woodchips inthe grill area.
•Do notallowgrill-rocks to becomeoverloadedwith grease.Cleanfrequently.
• Donotcover gratescompletely withmeat. Leaveair spacebetweeneachsteak,etc.
to allow proper ventilationaswell as preventflame-ups.

GHling Tips
With your Jenn-Airgrill and accessories,literally any food you've considered "at its
best" whenprepared outdoorscan now beprepared indoors with lessfuss and great
flavor.
Many grilling ideas are contained in Jenn-Air's Cookbook, Complete Cooking With
Jenn-Air. There are also many cookbookscontaining recipesfor outdoor grilling which
can be usedon a Jenn-Air.
The following suggestionsare good rulesto follow and will increase your enjoyment
of theequipment.
• Be sureto follow directions on page 11for using the grill.
• Suggestedcooking timesand control settings are approximate due to variations
in meatsand electrical voltage. Experience will quickly indicate cooking times
aswell aswhichsettings work best.
•Use the Energy-savergrillelement for grilling small amounts of foodon half

•For bestresults,buytop grade meat. Meatthat isat least3/4-inchwillgrill better
thanthinnercuts.
• Score fat on edgesof steak, but do not cut into meat, to prevent curling while
cooking.
•Forthe attractive"branded" lookon steaks, be sure grill ispreheated. Allow

Cleaning the Grill
Grill Grates: These are made from cast aluminum and have a nonstick finish.
• The grates should be cleaned after each use. They can be cleaned with detergent
and a plastic scrubber, such as Tufty, or washed in the dishwasher if burned
on residue is first removed. For heavy soil, grates can be soaked in hot, soapy
water to which a cleanser, such as household ammonia, has been added.
•Do not use metal brushes or abrasive scouring pads or other scrubbers intended
to clean outdoor charcoal grills. These will remove the finish as well as scratch
the grates. Do not clean in the self-cleaning oven or use oven cleaners on
the grates.
Grill-Rocks: These are made from cast-iron which have been coated with porce-
lain enamel.
•The grill-rocks should be cleaned frequently or after any excessive build-up
of grease. To clean light soil, use detergent and a plastic scrubber, such as
Tufty, or wash in the dishwasher if burned on residue is first removed. For
heavy soil, soak in hot, soapy water to which a cleanser, such as household
ammonia, has been added. Stubborn spots on grill-rocks, such as burned
on residue from sauces, can be scrubbed with a stiff bristle brush.
• An oven cleaner, such as Easy-Off, can be used for burned on soil. Follow
manufacturer's directions; spray on cleaner and let soak overnight. Do not
clean grill-rocks in theself-cleaning oven.
Grill Element: Follow instructions on page 10 for removing the grill element.
The grill element should never be immersed in water. Most soil will burn off during
use. The terminal block may be cleaned with warm soapy water. Do not use abrasive
cleansers or materials. Dry thoroughly before reinserting in the cooktop.
Porcelain Grill Basin: This area, located under the grill-rocks, should be
cleaned after each heavy use of the grill.
•To remove light soil, clean area with soapy water or spray with cleansers
such as 409 or Grease Relief. For easier clean-up, lay paper towels in grill
basin, spray with a household cleanser, and soak for at least a half-hour or
longer.
• To remove moderate soil, scrub with Comet, Bon Ami, a soft scrub cleanser
or plastic scrubber.
• To remove stubborn soil, spray with an oven cleaner such as Easy-Off; let
soak overnight, wipe clean, rinse and dry.
