10, Never leave surface units unattended at high heat settings. 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 may subject 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.
j-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 as you know has been
approved for this purpose.
14.Cookware handles should be turned inward and not extend over
adjacent surface heating elements to avoid burns, ignition of
flammable materials and spillage due to unintentional contact with
the cookware.
15.Do not soak or immerse removable heating elementsin water.
16. 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.
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 causeburns.
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 is the cooktop.
t8.Do not cook on glass-ceramic cooking surface if the cooktop is
broken, Cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate 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
isused to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid steam
burns.Some cleansers can 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.

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.
• SeasoningpriortoeachuseisNOTnecessary. Howeveranytimeasugar-based
marinade (for example, barbecuesauce) is going to be used, the grates should
be "seasoned" prior to preheating.
• Preheat the grill on High for 5 minutes. Preheating improves the flavor and
appearance of meats and quickly sears the meat to help retain the juices. The
heating element should glow a bright cherry red.

•NEVER LEAVE GRILL UNATTENDED DURING GRILLOPERATION,
Should excess grease cause sustained flame-up
1. Immediately turn grill heat control OFF.
2. Remove meat from grill.

The following suggestions are good rules tofollow end will increase your enjoyment of
the equipment.
•Be sure to follow directions on page 11 for using the gdll.
• Suggested cooking times and control settings are approximate due to variations
in meatsand electricalvoltage. Experiencewill quickly indicatecooking times as
well as which settings work best.
•Use the Energy-Saver grJl_element for grJllingsmall amounts of food on half of
thegrill or for keeping cooked foods warm or preparing food requiring different
heat control settings.
• Forbestresults, buytopgrademeat. Meatthatisatleast3/4inchwillgrillbetter
than thinnercuts.
• Score fat on edges of steak, but do not cut into meat, to prevent curling while
cooking.
• Forthe attractive"branded" look on steaks, be suregdll ispreheated. Allow one
sideofmeatto cooktodesireddoneness, oruntiljuices appearonthe topsurface,
beforeturning. Turn steaks and hamburgersjust once. Manipulatingfood causes
loss of juices,
• When basting meats or applying sauces to foods, remember that excessive
amountswind upinsideyourgrilland donotimprovethefoodflavor,Apply sauces
duringthelast 15to20 minutesof cookingtime unless recipespecifies otherwise.
Plus,anytimea sugar-based marinade(for example barbecue sauce) isgoingto
be used, the grates should be"seasoned" prior to preheating (see page 11).
• There aremany meatmarinadeswhich wiTIhelp tenderizeless expensivecuts of
meat forcooking on thegrill.
• Cerfainfoods, suchaspoultryandnon-eilyfish, meyneedsomeextrafat. Brush
