SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS
Read before operating your cooktop
All appliances -- regardless of the manufacturer -- have the
potential through improper or careless useto create safety prob-
lems. 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 or hanging garments
should never be worn while using the appliance.
5. Do not repair or replace any partof theappliance unless
specifically recommended inthismanual. All other servicing
should bereferred to an authorized Jenn-Air Service
Contractor.
6. Do not storecombustible materials,gasolineor other
flammable vapors and liquid near cooktop.
7. Do not use water on grease fires.Smother fire or flame or
usedry chemicalor foam-typeextinguisher.
8. Use only dry potholders.Moistor damp potholders on hot
surfaces may resultin burns from steam.Do not use atowel
or other bulky cloth.
9. Select cookware large enough to properly contain food and
avoid boil overs or spillovers.This will save on cleaning and
prevent hazardous accumulations of food,since heavy
splattering or spillovers left on a cooktop can ignite.Pan
sizeis especiallyimportant in deep fatfrying.
10. Never leave cooktop unattended at Hi heatsettings.Boil
over causes smoking and greasy spillovers thatmay ignite.
11.TYPE OF COOKWARE -- Avoid pans that are unstableand
easilytipped. In choosing pans, look for easily-grasped
handles that will stay cool. Pans that are too heavy when
filled with food can also bea hazard. If pan handles twist
and cannot be tightened,discard the pan.

12. 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 ADJACENT SUR-
FACE BURNERS to minimize burns, ignition of flammable
materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with
the cookware.
13. CAUTION -- Do not store items of interest to children in
cabinets above a cooktop--children climbing on the cook-
top to reach items could be seriously injured.
14. Do not touch grill and surface burner areas or perimeter
trim around cooktop. 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.
15. Do not heat unopened food containers.Build-up of pres-
sure may cause container to burst and result in injury.
16.Keep all controls "OFF" when unit is not in use.
17. Keep vent ducts unobstructed.
18.GREASE -- Grease is flammable and should be handled
carefully. Never leave any cooking operation unattended.
Let fat cool before attempting to handle it. Do not allow
grease to collect around the cooktop or in the vents. Wipe
up spillovers immediately.
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.
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
cooktop at the main fuse or circuit breaker panel and at
the electrical receptacle.
23. Always allow hot pans to cool in a safe place out of the
reach of small children.
24. A faint gas odor may indicate a gas leak. If a gas odor
is detected, cut off the gas supply to the cooktop. Call
your installer or local gas company to have the possible
leakchecked.Never usea match or other flame to locate
agas leak.

harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to
such substances.
Users of this appliance are hereby warned that the burning of gas can result
in low-level exposure to some of the listed substances,including benzene,
formaldehyde and soot, due primarily to theincomplete combustion of natural
gas or liquid petroleum (LP) fuels. Properly adjusted burners will minimize
incomplete combustion.Exposure to these substances can also be minimized
by properly venting the burners to the outdoors.

Ventilation System
The built-in ventilation system removes cooking vapors, odors and smoke from foods
prepared on the cooktop, grill and grill accessories.
Regular use of this system will insure a more comfortable and less humid kitchen which
is free of heavy cooking odors and fumes that normally create a frequent need for
cleaning and redecorating.
Using the Ventilation System
• To operate the ventilation system manually, push the on/off switch located in
front of the air grille.
• The ventilation system will operate automatically when the grill burner is in use.
• The ventilation system can be used to remove strong odors from the kitchen as
when chopping onions.
Cleaning the Ventilation System
Air Grille: The air grille lifts off easily.
Wipe clean or wash in sink with mild
household detergents. To prevent
scratching the surface, do not use abra-
sive cleansers or scrubbing pads. May be
cleaned in dishwasher.
Filler: Turn off ventilation system be-
fore removing. Turnfilter retainer clip to
remove filter. The filter is a permanent
type and should be cleaned when soiled.
Clean in sink with warm water and liquid
dishwashing detergent orin dishwasher.
IMPORTANT: Filtershould always be
placed at an angle. As you face the front of
the cooktop, the top of the filter should
rest against the left side of the vent open-
ing and the bottom of the filter should rest
against the right side of the ventilation
chamber at the bottom. DO NOT OPER-
ATE SYSTEM WITHOUT FILTER. If filter
is flat against the fan wall, ventilation
effectiveness is reduced.
Ventilation Chamber: This area, which houses the filter, should be cleaned in the
event of spills or whenever it becomes coated with afilm of grease. May be cleaned with
paper towel, damp cloth or sponge and mild household detergent.

Cookware Selection
Size of Cookware
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 cookware also helps to save fuel.
CAUTION: Do NOT allow large pans to contact or extend over the control knobs.
Heat trapped between large pans and control knobs could possibly cause damage
to the control knobs.
IMPORTANT: Leave a minimum of 11/2" between side of pan and surrounding
surfaces,such as countertop backsplash or side walls, to allow heat to escape to
avoid possible damage to these areas.
Cookware Materials
Stainless steel, porcelain enamelware, glass, and glass ceramic cookware designed
for surface cooking usually heat slowly and conduct heat poorly when a large flame
size is used. Turn the knob to adjust the flame size to extend only halfway between
center and edge of the cookware bottom for better cooking results. Aluminum cookware
conducts heat more evenly; therefore, a slightly larger flame size can be used. The
flame can be adjusted so it comes to the edge of the cookware. The flame should
NEVER be adjusted so that it extends beyond the bottom of the cookware.
Covered Cookware
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 more than the amount of heat needed
to maintain a gentle boil is used.

How a Surface
Burner Works
When the surface burner valve is turned on,gas enters the mixer tube and mixes
with air. This air and gas mixture flows to the burner head and is lighted by a spark
from the solid 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 a clearly defined inner cone. There
should be no trace of yellow in the flame. A yellow flame indicates an improper
mixture of air and gas. This wastes fuel so have a serviceman adjust the air and
gas mixture by adjusting the air shutter if a yellow flame ever occurs.
The variable surface controls for the surface burners and grill burner provide flexibility
in heat setting selection.
Note: The grill can be replaced with an optional surface burner module, Model AG200.
How to Operate in the Event of a Power
Failure
Surface Burners
In case of prolonged power failure, you can manually light the surface burner by
holding a lighted 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.

Adjustment is satisfactory when a clearly defined, even blue flame results at the
Hi flame setting. The snug fit of the air shutter assures it will remain positioned
correctly.
On any burner, closing the air shutter too far will cause the flame to become soft
and yellow tipped. Opening the air shutter too wide will cause the flame to blow
away from the burner ports. Proper adjustment will produce a sharp, clearly defined,
even, blue flame.
Lo Flame Adjustment
This appliance has been shipped from the factory with Lo and Meal flame settings
adjusted for use with natural gas and average installations. There is a wide variety
of conditions caused by altitude and gas mixtures controlled by utility companies,
which will vary and affect the gas flame and performance. Adjustments should be
made at time of installation.If conditions change, follow the procedures outlined
below to adjust the Lo setting.
To adjust the Lo setting:
1. Light burner and set control knob for low flame.
2. Remove control knob from valve stem.
CAUTION:
Never use a metal blade to pry knob off. If knob cannot be easily removed,
tuck the folds of a cloth dishtowel under the knob skirt and pull the towel
upward with steady, even pressure.

Left Side or Single Grill
The Lo Controls are set for the grill burner. Thus, when using a surface burner,
the control knob may be turned to aposition lower than the Lo setting.
Right Side
Only surface burners may be used on the right side.Use the right surface burners
on Hi for large quantity cooking and canning because the BTU rate is higher. Also
use the right surface burners on Lo for sauces and delicate items because the Lo
setting hasalower BTU rate.
NOTECVG316 MODELS: "Thecenter bay is designated for surface burners only.
(SeeRight Side notes above.)
CAUTION" Do NOT allow large pans to extend over the control knobs. Heat
trapped between large pans and control knobs could possibly cause damage
to the control knobs.
Suggested Control Settings
for Surface Burners
The size and type of cookware and the amount and type of food being cooked
will influence the setting needed for best cooking results. The setting indicated
should serve as a guide while you become familiar with your cooktop.
Use the Hi flame setting to quickly bring
foods to a boil or to begin a cooking opera- __ _"l
tion.Then reduce to a lower setting to con- _
tinue cooking. Never leave food unattended _ _
over a Hi flame setting. •
