Important Safety Notice and Warning
TheCaliforniaSafeDrinkingWater andToxicEnforcementAct of 1986 (Propo-
sition65) requires the Governor of California to publisha listof substances
knownto theState of California to cause cancer or reproductiveharm, and
requiresbusinesses to warn customers of potential exposuresto such sub-
stances.
Users ofthis appliance are hereby warned that burning of gas can result in low-
level exposure to some of the listed substances, including benzene, formalde-
hyde and soot, due primarily to the incomplete combustion of natural gas or
liquid petroleum (LP) fuels. Properly adjusted burners will minimize incomplete
combustion. Exposure to these substances can be minimized by properly vent-
ing the burners to the outdoors.
WARNING
ElectricalGroundingInstructions
The appliance is equipped with a three-prong grounding plug for your protec-
tion against shock hazard and should be plugged directly into a properly

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
isfree of heavy cooking odors and fumes that normally create a frequent need for clean-
ing and redecorating.
• To operate the ventilation system manually,turn
fan knob clockwise to ON position, ummuuli ......... _
• The ventilation system willoperate automatically _ _---._/_
when the grill burner is in use. g
• The ventilation system can be used to remove
strong odors from the kitchen as when chopping
onions near the air grille.
Air Grille
Theair grillelifts off easily. Wipecleanor wash in
sink with mild household detergents. It may be
cleaned in the dishwasher.

lSize of Cookware 1
To achieveoptimumcockingperformance usecookpotswithflatbottomsand tightfitting
covers. Flame size should be adjusted soit does not extend beyond the edge of the
cookware. This instructionis basedon safetyconsiderations. Adjustingthe size ofthe
flameto fitthe size of the ccokwarealso helpsto save fuel.
Important: Leave a minimumof 11/2"between side of pan and surroundingsurfaces,
such ascountertop backsplashor sidewalls,to allow heat to escapeto avoidpossible
damageto theseareas.
• Aluminum cookware heats evenly and quickly. A slightly larger flame size can be
used. The flame canbeadjusted soit comes tothe edge ofthe cookware. However,
the flame should NEVER be adjusted so that it extends beyond the bottom of the
cookware.
• Stainless steel cookware with copper or aluminum cores heat evenly and fairly
quickly.Theflamesize should beadjusted to extend only halfway between center
and edge of the cookware bottom for best results.
• Cast iron cookware heats slowly.
• Check manufacturer's recommendations beforeusing porcelain on steel, porcelain
on cast iron, glass, glass-ceramic, earthenware or other glazed cookpots.
l!C°vered c°° are I
Ifthe 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.

IGri!ling TiPsl
With your Jenn-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 rules to follow and will increase your enjoyment of
the equipment.
•Be sure to followdirections on page 13for 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 grademeat. Meat that is at least 3/4inch will grill better
than thinner cuts.
• Score fat on edges of steak, but do not cut into meat, to prevent curling while
cooking.
• Forthe attractive"branded"look onsteaks, besure grill ispreheated. Allow one
side of meatto cook todesired doneness, oruntiljuices appear onthe topsurface,
before turning. Turn steaks and hamburgers just once. Manipulating food causes
loss ofjuices.
• When basting meats or applying sauces to foods, remember that excessive
amounts wind upinside your grill and donot improve the food flavor. Apply sauces
duringthe last 15to 20 minutesof cooking time unless recipespecifies otherwise.
Plus, any time a sugar-based marinade,(for example, barbecue sauce) is going
to be used, the grates should be "seasoned" prior to preheating.(See p. 13.)
•There are many meat marinades which willhelp tenderize less expensive cuts of
meat for cooking on the grill.
• Certain foods, such as poultry and non-oilyfish, may needsome 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.

•After the grill grates have cooled, wipe off grates with a paper towel. Wash cool
grates (DO NOT IMMERSEHOT GRILL GRATES IN WATER) with soapor deter-
gent in hotwater in the sink or wash them in the dishwasher. Be sureto remove all
food residue beforecooking on the grill grates again.
• Removestubborn spots with a plastic mesh puff or pad. For best results, useonly
thosecleaning productswhich state theyarerecommendedfor usewhencleaning
noflstick surfaces.

[Surface Burner Assembly]
To clean thesurface burnerassembly(surface burnergrates,aerationtray, and surface
burners).
• Lightsoil -wash in hotsoapy water, rinse and dry.
•Moderatesoil-use Comet, BonAmi, a softscrubcleanser or plasticpuff.
•Heavy soil -for occasional use only, use oven cleanerfollowingmanufacturer's
directions.
NOTE:
• The porcelain enamel used on your cooktop is acid resistant, notacid proof.
Therefore, acid foods (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 ports, insert a
toothpick directly into each port.
Although the burner grate is durable, it will gradually lose its shine and/or discolor,
regardless of the care you take of it. This isdue to its exposure to the high temperature
of the gas flame.
To preserve the porcelain enamel finish as long as possible, have a pan on the grate
before you turnon theburner and lower the flame when food reaches the desired cooking
temperature.
• To clean lightsoil, wipe with soapy cloth or nonabrasive cleanser, such asSoft Scrub.
Rinse, buff with soft cloth; polish with glass cleaner ifnecessary.
• To clean moderate soil or discoloration of the surface (excessive heatwill 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 beremoved with a damp Scotch-
Brite scour-pad; rubevenly with the grain to avoid streaking the surface. Rinsewell,
buff with drycloth; polish with glass cleaner ifnecessary to remove cleanser residue
and smudge marks.Scotch-Brite is also useful in buffing and removing minor
scratches.
Note on the control panel:
• Do NOT useabrasivecleaners.
• Do NOT use Scotch Britepads.
•Clean with soapy clothor Luneta.
