Congratulations on your choice of a Jenn-Air wall oven. Your Jenn-Air convection oven
combines the best of four cooking methods: conventional baking or roasting, convection
baking, convection roasting, and broiling, in a self-cleaning oven.
The Jenn-Air convection oven is actually a conventional oven that circulates heated air
within the oven. As both bake and broil heating elements cycle on and off with the
thermostat, a fan keeps the heated air circulating around the food. The constantly
recirculating heated air in the convection oven strips away the layer of cooler air that
surrounds food. Consequently, many foods cook more quickty. Distributed heat makes
multiple rack cooking possible. Convection roasted meats retain their natural flavor and
juiciness with less shrinkage than conventional roasting.
Before you begin cooking with your new oven, please take a few minutes to read and
become familiar with the instructions in this book. On the following pages you will find
a wealth of information regarding all aspects of using your new oven. By following the
instructions carefully, you will be able to fully enjoy and properly maintain your oven and
achieve excellent results with the food you prepare.
Should you have any questions about using your Jenn-Air oven, write to us. Be sure
to provide the model number.

Read before operating your oven
All appliances - regardless of the manufacturer - have the potential through
improper or careless use to create safety problems. 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.
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.

7. Do not use water on grease fires. Smother fire or flame or use dry
chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
8. Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may
result in burns from steam. Do not let potholder touch hot heating
elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.
9. Use care when opening oven door. Let hot air or steam escape before
removing or replacing food.
10. Do not heat unopened food containers. Build-up of pressure may cause
container to burst and result in injury.
11. Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed.
12. Always place oven racks in desired location while oven iscool. If rack must
be moved while oven is hot, do not let potholder contact hot heating
element in oven.
13. Do not clean door gasket. The door gasket is essential for a good seal.

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE AND WARNING
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986
(Proposition 65) requires the Governor of California to publish a list of
substances known to the State of California to cause cancer or reproductive
harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposures to
such substances. Users of this appliance are hereby warned that when the
oven is engaged inthe self-clean cycle, there may be some low level exposure
to some of the listed substances, including Carbon Monoxide. Exposure to
these substances can be minimized by properly venting the oven to the
outdoors during the self-clean cycle.
