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.

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.

Surface Controls
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 imme-
diately turn counterclockwise to the LITEposition until burner ignites.After
ignition, turn knob clockwise to desired setting.
• Igniter will continue to spark until knob is turned clockwise back to or past
Hi position on knob.
Control Locations
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. •

The grill consists of two black grill grates and a grill burner.Note for CG206 and
CVG316: only install the grill on the left side of your cooktop. Note CG205 Owners:
An optional grill accessory, AG150, may be used on the left side only.
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
toward the orifices until 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 cooktop.
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 use the vent system to remove any additional smoke during cooling.
When the E-ven Heat grill burner is a dull black, it is ready to use,
To Remove Grill Module
1. Remove grill components once they are cool. Be sure control knobs are in the OFF
position.
2. Remove grill grates.
3. Remove grill burner.
12

Using the Grill
• Before the first use, wash your new grill grates in hot soapy water, rinse and
dry. Then "season" the surface by wiping on a thin coating of cooking oil. Remove
excess oil by wiping again with another paper towel. This procedure should be
repeated after cleaning in the dishwasher since the detergent may remove
seasoning.
• Seasoning prior to each use is NOT necessary.However anytime a sugar-based
marinade (for example, barbecue sauce) is going to be used, the grates should
be "seasoned" prior to reheating.
•Use nonmetallic spatulas or utensils to prevent damaging the Excalibur® nonstick
grill grate finish.
• Preheat grill on Hi setting for 5 or 10 minutes. Preheating improves the flavor
and appearance of meats and quickly sears the meat to help retain the juices.
•Excessive amounts of fat should be trimmed from meats. Some fat is necessary
to produce the smoke needed for that smoked, "outdoor" flavor. However, excessive
fat can create cleaning and flare-up problems.
• Excessive flare-ups indicate that either the grill interior needs to be cleaned or
that excessive amounts of fat are in the meat or the meat was not properly trimmed.
• Grease drippings will occasionally ignite to produce harmless puffs of flame for
a second or two. This is a normal part of the cooking process.
•NEVER LEAVEGRILL UNATTENDED DURINGGRILL OPERATION.
Should sustained flare-up occur:
1. Turn on FAN manually.
2. Immediately turn grill heat control knob to OFF position.
3. Remove meat from grill.
IMPORTANT
• Do not use aluminum foil inside the grill area.
• Do not use charcoal or wood chips in the grill area.
•Do not allow burner basin to become overloaded with grease. Clean after each use.
• Do not cover grates completely with meat. Leave air space between each steak, etc.
to allow proper ventilation aswell asprevent flare-ups.

Grilling Tips
With your Jenn-Air grill literally any food you've considered "at its best" when prepared
outdoors can now be prepared indoors with great flavor and less fuss.
The following suggestions are good rules to follow and will increase your enjoyment of
the equipment.
• Be sure to follow directions on page 13 for using the grill.
• Suggested cooking times and control settings are approximate due to variations
in meats. Experience will quickly indicate cooking times as well as which settings
work best.
• For best results, buy top grade meat.
• Score fat on edges of steak, but do not cut into meat, to prevent curling while
cooking.
• For the attractive "branded" look on steaks, be sure grill is preheated.Allow
one side of meat to cook to desired doneness, or until juices appear on the
top surface, before turning. It takes fewer minutes to cook the second side.
Turn steaks and hamburgers just once. Manipulating food causes loss of juices.
e When basting meats or applying sauces to foods, remember that excessive
amounts wind up inside your grill and do not improve the food flavor. Apply
sauces during the last 15 to 20 minutes of cooking time unless recipe specifies
otherwise. Plus, anytime a sugar-based marinade (for example, barbecue sauce)
is going to be used, the grates should be "seasoned" prior to preheating (see
page 13).
• There are many meat marinades which will help tenderize less expensive cuts
of meat for cooking on the grill.
• Certain foods, such as poultry and non-oily fish, may need some extra fat. Brush
with oil or melted butter occasionally while grilling.
• Use tongs with long handles or spatulas for turning meats. Do not use forks
as these pierce the meat, allowing juices to be lost.
® To help retain meat juices,salt after turning meat or after cooking is completed.

Cleaning Parts of
Your Cooktop
Control Bmobs
The knobs on the control panel can be removed with the controls in the OFF position.
Pull each knob straight from theshaft. Wash knobs in warm soapy wateror dishwasher;
do not use abrasive cleansers or materials. To replace each knob, match flat part
of knobopening with theflatof theshaft, returning in OFF position.
IMPORTANT: 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.
Control Knob Area
Use mild cleansers, such as soapy water or mild liquid sprays, such as 409. Wipe
with sponge, damp cloth or paper towel. Do not scrub with S.O.S. pads or abrasive
cleansers.
Grill Grates
These are made from cast aluminum and are coated with the Excalibur® nonstick
finish.
• After the grill gates have cooled, wipe off grates with a paper towel. Wash cool
grates (DO NOT IMMERSE HOT GRILL GRATES IN WATER) with soap or
detergent in hot water in the sink or wash them in the dishwasher. Be sure to
remove all food residue before cooking on the grill grates again.
•Remove stubborn spots with a plastic mesh puff or pad. For best results, use
only those cleaning products which state they are recommended for use when
cleaning nonstick surfaces.
• If grates were washed in the dishwasher, season with oil prior to grilling.
•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.
GriH Burner
The grill burner should be cleaned after each use. It can be cleaned with a soapy
S.O.S. pad or in the dishwasher. Rinse and dry thoroughly before using again. For
heavy soil, burner should be cleaned first with a soapy S.O.S. pad, rinsed and dried.
Then it can be cleaned in a self-clean oven for 2 hours.
Note:Check to be sure all ports are open.To open clogged ports, insert a
toothpick directly into each port.

Cooktop
Stainless Steel Cooktop
• To clean light soil, wipe with soapy cloth or nonabrasive cleanser, such as Soft
Scrub. Rinse,buff with soft cloth; polish with glass cleaner if necessary.
• To clean moderate soil or discoloration of the surface (excessive heat will cause
a golden discoloration), clean with Zud, Bar Keepers Friend,or Luneta (Jenn-
Air Model A912, Part No. 712191). With a sponge or cloth, rub cleanser with
the grain to avoid streaking the surface. Rinse well, buff dry; polish with a glass
cleaner if necessary to remove cleanser residue and smudge marks.
•Heavy soil, such as burned on food soil,can be removed by first cleaning as
per the instructions for moderate soil. Stubborn stains can be removed with
a damp Scotch-Brite scour-pad; rub evenly with the grain to avoid streaking
the surface. Rinse well, buff with dry cloth; polish with glass cleaner if necessary
to remove cleanser residue and smudge marks. Scotch-Brite is also useful in
buffing and removing minor scratches.
• Stubborn food stains may also be removed by spraying with Easy-Off oven
cleaner. Allow to set overnight, then rinse. If stains remain, clean with recom-
mended cleansers such asZud, Luneta (Jenn-Air Model A912, Part No. 712191),
or Scotch-Brite scour-pad.CAUTION: Whenusing Easy-Off,avoidspraying areas
other than the stainless steel such as the air grille and control knob area.
Immediately wipe up any spray from these areas with a damp cloth. Read the
manufacturer's precautions on using oven cleaners. Hint: Easy-Off can be used
to clean the porcelain burner basin area.
Porcelainized Steel Cooktop
• Never wipe a warm or hot porcelain enamel surface with a damp cloth.
• For general daily cleaning and light soil, wash with warm soapy water and
rinse. Polish with a dry cloth.
• For stubborn stains, clean with Cooktop Cleaning Creme (Part No. 20000001)
and a sponge.
• Do NOT use abrasive or caustic cleaning agents which may permanently
damage the finish.
Note: The porcelain enamel used on your cooktop is acid resistant, not acid
proof. Therefore,acid foods (such as vinegar, tomato, milk, etc:) spilled
on the cooktop should be wiped up immediately with a dry cloth.
Igniters
• It is important to keep igniter port openings clear and free of obstructions
to avoid ignition failure and possible gas buildup. If the port openings are
blocked, use a toothpick to remove food particles.
• The igniter cap and stem can be cleaned with warm soapy water and a plastic
scrubber. The wire electrode inside the cap can be cleaned with a small brush.
Rinse and dry.
17

Porcelain Burner Basin
This area, located under the grill burner should be cleaned after each use of the grill.
• To remove light soil, clean area with soapy water or spray with cleansers such as
409 or Grease Relief. For easierclean-up, soak paper towels in a household
cleanser, lay in burner basin, and soak for at least a half-hour or longer.
• To remove moderate soil, scrub with Comet,Bon Ami, asoft 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.
Under Counter
Drain Jar: A drain jar is located
below eachburner basin (under thecoun-
ter). Check periodically toprevent spill-
overs. Unscrew and remove.If jar is
broken, replace with any heat tempered
jar, such as a canning jar, which has a
standard screw neck.
Serial Plate: DO NOT CLEAN.

Ducting .
Information
Jenn-Air's ventilation system is designed to capture both cooking fumes and smoke
from any place on the grill surface. If the system does not, these are some ducting
installation situations to check:
•6" diameter round or 31/_'' x 10" rectangular ducting should be used for duct
lengths 10'-60'. 5" diameter round ducting must be used if the duct length is
10' or less.
