The built-in ventilation system removes cooking vapors, odors and smoke from foods
preparedon the cooktop, grill and gdll accessories.
Regularuse ofthis systemwill insurea morecomfortable and less humidkitchenwhich
isfree of heavycooking odorsand fumes that normally create a frequent need for
cleaning and redecorating.
• To operatethe ventilation system manually,push the switch located in front of the
air grille. Ifyoupushonthe leftsideoftheswitch,thefanwilloperate atthe Lospeed.
If you push on the right sideof the switch, the fan will operate at the Hi speed. To
turn thefan off,the switch should bereturned to themiddle (level) position.
• The ventilation system will operate automatically on Hi when the grill burner is in
use. Duringgrilling,the fan speedisautomatically set forthe HisettingAND cannot
bechangedtoLo speedor manuallyfumedoff.
• Usethe Hi fan speed for capturing steam.Use Lo fan speed for capturing smoke
when pan frying.
• The ventilation system can be used to remove strong odors from the kitchen as
when chopping onions near the air grille.

• . As you face the front of the cooktop, the top of the filter
_= "" should rest against the left side ofthe vent opening and
the bottom ofthe filter should rest against therightside
of the ventilation chamber at the bottom. If filter is flat
againstthefanwalk,ventilationeffectiveness isreduced.
Ventilation Chamber: This area,which housesthe filter,should becleaned inthe event
of spills or whenever it becomes coated with a film of grease. The ventilation chamber
may becleanedwith papertowel,dampcloth,or spongeand a mild householddetergent
or cleanser.

To achieveoptimumcooking performance usecookpots withfiat bottomsand tight fitting
covers. Flame size should be adjusted so it does not extend beyond the edge of the
cookware. This instruction isbased on safety considerations. Adjusting the size of the
flame to fit the size of the cookware also helps to save fuel.
CAUTION: DoNOT allow large pansto contact or extend over the control knobs. Heat
trapped between large pans and control knobs could possibly cause damage to the
control knobs.
Important: Leavea minimum of 1 1/2"between sideof pan and surrounding surfaces,
such as countertop backsplashor side walls, to allow heatto escape to avoid possible
damage to these areas.
• Aluminum cookware heats evenly and quickly.A slightly larger flame size can be
used. Theflame can beadjusted soitcomestotheedge ofthecookware. However,
the flame should NEVER be adjusted so that itextends 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 edge of the cookware bottom for best results.
• Cast iron cookware heats slowly.
• Checkmanufacturer's recommendations beforeusing porcelain on steel,porcelain
on cast iron,glass, glass/ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed cookpots.
If the cookware is covered, less fuelwill be needed; therefore, a lowerflame 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.

Your newcooktop bumers have been preset for an "average" set of conditions. Regional
variances in gas pressure and atmosphericconditions such as height above sea level
may affect your initial flame performance•
When the control knob is turned on, gas enters the mixer tubeand 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 burnerwith clean ports will light within afew seconds, The cone-
shaped flame will be dear 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. Ifyour flame does not resemble the "correct" flame as described above,follow
the air shutter adjustment instructions below.
The variable surface controls for thesurface burners and grill burner provide flexibility
in heat setting selection,
Note:The grill can be replaced with an optional surface burner module, Model AG202.
Surface Burners
Incaseof prolonged power failure, you can manuallylight the surface burner by holding
alighted match nearthe 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.

The Lo controlsareset for the grill burner.Thus, when using a surface burner, the
control knobs may beturned to aposition lower than theLo 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 usethe right
surface burners on Lo for sauces and delicate items because the Lo setting has a lower
BTU rate. Note CVG4380 Models: The center bay is also designated for surface burners
only. (See Right 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.
The controls offer flexibility in heat setting selection. An infinite number of settings exist
between Hi and Lo. At the Hi setting,a detent may be felt. For all settings other than Hi,
simply adjust your flame for best results.
The size and type of cookware and the amount and type of food being cooked will influence
thesetting needed for best results. Suggested settings are provided as guidelines.

•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 when: a) cleaning inthe dishwasher since the detergent may remove
seasoning,or b) anytime a sugar-based marinade (for example,barbecue sauce)
is going to be used.
•Use nonmetallic spatulas or utensils to prevent damaging the Excalibur®nonstick
grill grate finish.
• Preheat the grill on Hi for 5 or 10 minutes.Preheating improves the flavor and
appearanceof 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 smokeneeded for that smoked, "outdoor" flavor. However,
excessive fat can create cleaning and flare-up problems.
• Allowing excessive amounts of grease or drippings to constantly flame voids the
warranty on the grill grates. Excessive flare-ups indicate that eitherthe grill interior
needs to becleaned or that excessive amounts of fat arein the meat or the meat
was not properly trimmed.
•Grease drippings will occasionally igniteto produce harmless puffs of flame for a
second or two.This is a normal partof the cooking process.
•NEVER LEAVE GRILL UNA'I-rENDED DURING GRILL OPERATION.

1. Turn on FAN manually.
2. ImmediatelyturngrillcontrolknobstoOFF position.
3.Removemeat fromgrill.

With yourJenn-Air grill literally any food you've considered "at its best" when prepared
outdoors can now be prepared indoors with less fuss and great flavor.
The following suggestions are good rulesto follow and will increase your enjoyment of
the equipment.
•Be sure to follow directions on page 15 for using the grill.
• Suggested cooking times and control settings are approximate duetovariations
in meats. Experiencewillquicklyindicate cooking times aswell aswhich settings
work best.
• For best results, buy topgrade meat. Meatthat is atleast 3/4inch will grill better
thanthinnercuts.
• Scorefat on edges of steak,but do not cut into meat,to prevent curling while
cooking.
• For theattractive "branded" lookon steaks, be sure grill is preheated. Allow one
sideofmeatto cooktodesired doneness,or untiljuices appear onthetop surface,
before turning. Turn steaks and hamburgers just once. Manipulating food
causes loss ofjuices.
• When basting meats or applying sauces to foods, remember that exsessive
amounts wind up insideyour grill end donot improve thefood flavor. Apply
sauces during the last 15 to 20 minutes of cooking time unless recipe specifies
otherwise. Plus, any time a sugar-based marinade, (for example, barbecue
sauce) isgoing to be used, the grates should be "seasoned" prior to preheating
(see page15).
• There aremany meat marinadeswhich will helptenderize less expensive cutsof
meat for cooking on the grill.
• Certain foods,such aspoultry and non-oilyfish, 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 useforks as
these pierce the meat, allowing juices to be lost.
• To help retainmeat juices, salt after turning meatoraftercooking is completed.

•The porcelain enamel used on your cooktop is acid resistant, not acid proof.
Therefore, acidfoods (such as vinegar, tomato,milk,etc.) spilled on the cooktop
should be wiped up immediately with a dry cloth.
•Do NOT use abrasive cleaners, S.O.S. or Brillo pads.
• Remove sugar spills immediately.
• Do NOT clean in a self-clean oven.
• Check to be sure all burner ports are open. To open clogged porte, insert a
toothpick directly intoeach port.
Although the burner grate Lsdurable, it will gradually lose its shine and/or discolor,
regardlessofthecareyoutake of it.This isdueto its exposureto thehightemperature
ofthe gasflames.
To preserve the porcelain enamel finish as long as possible, have a pan on the grate
beforeyou turn on the burner, and Lowerthe flame when food reaches the desired

Jenn-Air's ventilation system is designed to capture both cooking fumes and smoke
while grilling. If the system does not, these are some ducting 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 ducting must be used if the duct length is 10'
or Jess.
• No morethan three90° elbows should be used. Distance between elbows should
be at least 18".
• 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 8" for eooktop 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 responsibility of the
and questions should be addressed first by theinstaller. The installer should
very carefully check the ducting installation instructions.
