ofsmallchildren.Childrenshouldbetaught
that an appliance is not a toy. Children
shouldnot beallowed to playwith controls
or other parts of the unit.
CAUTION: NEVER store items of interest
tochildren in cabinetsabove anappliance.
Children climbing on the appliance to
reach items could be seriously injured.
ABOUT YOUR
APPLIANCE
NEVER use appliance as a space heater
toheator warmaroom topreventpotential
hazard to the user and damage to the
appliance. Also, do not use the cooktop as
astorage areafor food orcooking utensils.
Do not obstruct the flow of combustion
and ventilation air by blocking the air
intakes.Restriction of airflowto theburner
prevents proper performance and
increases carbon monoxide emission to
unsafe levels.
Potentially hot surfaces include cooktop
and areas facing the cooktop.
COOKING SAFETY
Always place a pan on a surface burner
before turning it on. Be sure you know
whichknobcontrols whichsurfaceburner.
Make sure the correct burner is turned on
and that the burner has ignited. When
cooking is completed, turn burner off
before removing pan to prevent exposure
to burner flame.
Always adjust surface burner flame so
that it does not extend beyond the bottom
edge of the pan. An excessive flame is
hazardous, wastes energy and may
damage the appliance, pan or cabinets
above the appliance.
NEVER leave a surface cooking operation
unattended especially when using a high
heat setting or when deep fat frying.
Boilovers cause smoking and greasy
spillovers may ignite. Clean up greasy
spills as soon as possible. Do not use high
heat for extended cooking operations.
NEVER heat an unopened container on
thesurface burner.Pressure build-upmay
causecontainertoburstresultinginserious
personalinjuryordamageto theappliance.
Use dry, sturdy potholders. Damp pot-
holders may cause burns from steam.
Dishtowels or other substitutes should
never be used as potholders because they
can trail across hot surface burners and
ignite or get caught on appliance parts.
Always let quantities of hot fat used for
deep fat frying cool before attempting to
move or handle.
Do not let cooking grease or other
flammablematerialsaccumulate inornear
the cooktop. Clean frequently to prevent
grease from accumulating.
NEVERweargarmentsmade of flammable
material or loose fitting or long-sleeved
apparelwhile cooking. Clothingmayignite
or catch utensil handles.
Do not use aluminum foil to line burner
basin. Restriction of normal air flow may
result in unsafe operation.
UTENSIL SAFETY
Use pans with flat bottoms and handles
thatare easilygrasped and staycool. Avoid
using unstable, warped, easily tipped or
loose-handledpans.Alsoavoid usingpans,
especially small pans, with heavy handles
as they could be unstable and easily tip.
Pans that are heavy to move when filled
with food may also be hazardous.
Be sure utensil is large enough to properly
contain food and avoid boilovers. Pan size
is particularly important in deep fat frying.
Be sure pan will accommodate the volume
of food that is to be added as well as the
bubble action of fat.
To minimize burns, ignition of flammable
materials and spillage due to uninten-
tional contact with the utensil, do not
extendhandlesoveradjacentsurfaceburn-
ers. Always turn pan handles toward the
side or back of the appliance, not out into
the room where they are easily hit or
reached by small children.
Never let a pan boil dry as this could
damage the utensil and the appliance.
Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic,
ceramic or glazed utensils are suitable for
cooktop usage without breaking due to
the sudden change in temperature. Follow
manufacturer’s instructions when using
glass.

Hi Use Hi to bring liquid to a boil, or reach pressure in a
pressure cooker. Always reduce setting to a lower heat when
liquids begin to boil or foods begin to cook.
An intermediate flame size is used to continue cooking. Food
will not cook any faster when a higher flame setting is used
than needed to maintain a gentle boil. Water boils at the same
temperature whether boiling gently or vigorously.
Lo
Use Lo to simmer foods, keep foods warm and melt
chocolate or butter.
Some cooking may take place on the Lo setting if the pan is
covered. It is possible to reduce the heat by rotating the knob
toward OFF. Be sure flame is stable.
USING YOUR COOKTOP
SURFACE CONTROLS
CAUTIONS:
SUGGESTED HEAT SETTINGS
• If flame should go out during a
cooking operation, turn the burner
off. If a strong gas odor is detected,
opena windowand waitfive minutes
before relighting the burner.
• Be sure all surface controls are set to
the OFF position prior to supplying
gas to the cooktop.
•NEVER touch cooktop until it has
cooled. Expect some parts of the
cooktop, especially around the
burners, to become warm or hot
during cooking. Use potholders to
protect hands.
PILOTLESS IGNITION
Pilotless ignition eliminates the need for a
constant standing pilot light. Each surface
burner has a spark ignitor. When cleaning
around the surface burner use care. If
cleaning cloth should catch the ignitor, it
could damage it preventing ignition.
If the surface burner does not light, check
ifignitoris broken,soiledor wet.Ifclogged,
clean the small port beneath the ignitor
using straight pin.
SURFACE CONTROL
KNOBS
Use to turn on the
surface burners. An
infinitechoice ofheat
settings is available
from Lo to Hi. At the
Hi setting a detent or
notch may be felt. The knobs can be set on
or between any of the settings.
SETTING THE
CONTROLS
1. Place a pan on the burner grate. (To
preserve the grate finish, do not operate
the burners without a pan on the grate
to absorb the heat from the burner
flame.)
2. Push in knob and turn immediately
counterclockwise to the Lite setting
until burner ignites.
• A clicking (spark) sound will be heard
and the burner will light. All ignitors
on the JDG8130 will spark when any
surface burner knob is turned to the
Lite position. On the JGD8345, the
grill burner and center bay burners
will spark when the grill or any center
bay burner is lit. Both of the right hand
bay burners will spark when either
one is lit.
OPERATING DURING A
POWER FAILURE
1. Hold a lighted match to the desired
surface burner head.
2. Push in and turn the control knob
slowly to Lite.
3. Adjust the flame to the desired level.
CAUTION:
When lighting the surface burners,
be sure all of the controls are in the
OFF position. Strike the match first
and hold it in position before turning
the knob to Lite.
The size and type of cookware will affect the heat setting.

COOKTOP
NOTES:
5
• A properly adjusted burner with clean ports will light within a few seconds. If using
natural gas, the flame will be blue with a deeper blue inner cone.
If the burner flame is yellow or is noisy, the air/gas mixture may be incorrect.
Contact a service technician to adjust. (Adjustments are not covered by the
warranty.)
With LP gas, some yellow tips on the flames are acceptable. This is normal and
adjustment is not necessary.
• With some types of gas, you may hear a “popping” sound when the surface burner
is turned off. This is a normal operating sound of the burner.
• If the control knob is turned very quickly from hi to lo, the flame may go out,
particularly if the burner is cold. If this occurs, turn the knob to the OFF position,
wait several seconds and relight the burner.
• To improve cooking efficiency and to prevent possible damage to the cooktop or
pan, the flame must be adjusted so it does not extend beyond the edge of the pan.
To prevent the cooktop from
discoloring or staining:
• Clean cooktop after each use.
• Wipe acidic or sugary spills as
soon as the cooktop has cooled as
these spills may discolor the
porcelain.
SEALED BURNERS
The sealed burners of your cooktop are
secured to the cooktop and are not
designedtobe removed. Sincetheburners
are sealed into the cooktop, boilovers or
spillswillnot seep underneaththecooktop.
However, the burner heads should be
cleaned after each use. (See page 9 for
cleaning directions.)
BURNER GRATES
The grates must be properly positioned
before cooking. Improper installation of
the grates may result in chipping of the
cooktop.
Do not operate the burners without a
panon thegrate. Thegrate’s porcelain
finishmay chip withouta pan toabsorb
the heat from the burner flame.
Although the burner grates are durable,
they will gradually lose their shine and/or
discolor, due to the high temperatures of
the gas flame.

USING THE GRILL
• Before the first use, wash 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 with paper towel.
This procedure should be repeated
when either: a) cleaning in the
dishwasher since the detergent may
remove seasoning or b) anytime a
sugar-based marinade (for example,
barbecue sauce) is going to be used.
• Preheat the grill on Hi for 5 minutes.
Preheating improves the flavor and
appearanceof meatsandquickly sears
the meat to help retain the juices.
•Use nonmetallic spatulas or utensils to
preventdamagingthenonstick grill grate
finish.
•Excessive amounts of fat should be
trimmed from meats. Only a normal
amount is necessary to produce the
smoke needed for that smoked,
“outdoor” flavor. Excessive fat can
createcleaning and flare-upproblems.
•Allowing excessive amounts of grease
or drippings to constantly flare-up voids
the warranty on the grill grates.
• Excessiveflare-ups indicatethat 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.
•NEVERLEAVEGRILL UNATTENDED
DURING GRILL OPERATION.

VENTILATION SYSTEM
The built-in ventilation system removes
cooking vapors, odors and smoke from
foods prepared on your cooktop and grill.
• To operate the
ventilation
system
manually,push
the vent fan
switchlocatedin front
ofthe airgrille. Pushto theright forhigh,
push to the left for low and to the center
to turn the fan off.
• The ventilation system will operate
automatically on Hi when the grill
burner is in use.
• The fan can be used to remove strong
odors from the kitchen as when
chopping onions near the fan.
CARE AND CLEANING OF THE
VENTILATION SYSTEM
• Air Grille: The air grille lifts off easily.
Wipe clean or wash in dishwasher or
sink with mild household detergents. To
prevent scratching the surface, do not
useabrasivecleaners or scrubbingpads.
•Filter:Turnoff ventilationsystem before
removing. The filter is a permanent type
and should be cleaned when soiled.
Clean in sink with warm water and
detergent or in dishwasher.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT OPERATE
SYSTEM WITHOUT FILTER. Filter should
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 opening. The bottom should
rest against the right side of the vent
chamber at the bottom. (Note: If filter
isflat againstthe fanwall, ventilation
effectiveness is reduced.)
• Ventilation Chamber: This area, which
houses the filter, should be cleaned in
theeventofspillsorwheneveritbecomes
coated with a film of grease. It can be
cleaned with paper towel, damp cloth,
orspongeand mild householddetergent
or cleanser.
•SHOULD EXCESS GREASE CAUSE
SUSTAINED FLARE-UPS:
1. Turn on the fan manually.
2. Immediately turn grill controls to
Off.
3. Remove meat from grill.
• Whenbastingmeats or applyingsauces
to foods, remember that excessive
amounts accumulate 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 Using the Grill
section.)
• There are many meat marinades which
will help tenderize less expensive cuts
of meat for cooking on the grill.
• Certainfoods, suchas poultryand non-
oily fish, may need some extra fat.
Brush with oil or melted butter
occasionally while grilling.
• Usetongswith longhandlesor spatulas
for turning meats. Do not use forks as
these pierce the meat, allowing juices
to be lost.
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
frequently.
• Do not cover grates
completely with meat.
Leave air space
betweeneach steak,
etc. to allow proper
ventilationas well
asprevent flare-
ups.
GRILLING TIPS
• Be sure to follow directions for using
the grill.
• Suggested cooking times and control
settings (see Grill guide, pg. 8) are
approximate due to variations in the
foods.
• For best results, buy top grade meat.
Meat that is at least
3
/
4
inch will grill
better than thinner cuts.
• 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
topsurface, beforeturning. Turnsteaks
and hamburgers just once.
