Radiant Range with
Convection Oven
Model SCE30600
r-

Congratulations on your choice of a Jenn-Air range. Your range has three
radiant elements with one dua_ radiant element.
Your Jenn-Air self-cleaning oven combines the best of four cooking methods,
conventional baking or roasting, convection baking, convection roasting and
broiling.
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 the food. Consequently, many
foods cook more quickly. Evenly distributed heat makes multiple rack
cooking possible. Convection roasted meats retain their natural flavor and
juiciness with less shrinkage than conventional roasting.
In addition to the many exclusive benefits of convection cooking, your Jenn-
Air oven is also a fine full featured conventional bake and broil oven. You can
cook your "old favorite" recipes as you have in the past. The conventional
bake oven also gives you the flexibility of preparing various foods when
convection cooking may not be as beneficial, as when cooking foods in
covered casseroles or clay pots. The broil element is convenient for top
browning and oven broiling of foods.
Before you begin cooking with your new range, 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 range. By following the instructions carefully, you will be able to fully
enjoy and properly maintain you r range and achieve excellent results with the
food you prepare.
Should you have any questions about using your Jenn-Air range, write to us.
Be sure to provide the model number.

Read before operating your range
All appliances -- regardless of the manufacturer -- have the potential
through improper or careless use to create safety problems. There-
fore 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 sitor stand
on any part of the appliance.
4. Wear proper apparel. Loose-fitting or hanging garments should
never be worn while using the appliance.
5. Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless
specifically recommended in this manual. All other servicing
should be referred to an authorized Jenn-Air Service Contractor.
6. Flammable materials should not be stored in an oven or near
surface units.
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 proper pan size. Many appliances are equipped with one
or more surface units of different size. Select cookware having
flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit heating
element. The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion
of the heating element to direct contact and may result in
ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of cookware to heating
element will also improve efficiency and performance.
10, Never leave surface units unattended at high heat settings. Boil
over causes smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite.

11.Glazedcookware --only certaintypes of glass, glass-ceramic,
ceramic,earthenwareorother glazedcookpots aresuitable for
rangetop surface without breaking due to the sudden change
intemperature. Useonlysuchcookware asyou knowhasbeen
approved for this purpose.
12.Cookware handles should be turned inward and not extend
over adjacentsurface heatingelementsto avoid burns, ignition
offlammable materialsandspillageduetounintentionalcontact
with the cookware.
13.CALITION -- Do not store items of interest to children in
cabinets above a range or on the backguard of a range --

14.Donottouchsurface unitsorareasnearunits,heatingelements
or interiorsurfacesof oven. Surfaceunits or heatingelements
may be hot even though they are dark in color. Areas near
surface unitsand interiorsurfaces ofan oven may become hot
enoughto cause burns. During and after use, do nottouchor
let clothing or other flammable materials contact these areas
untilthey have hadsufficient time to cool. Other surfaces may
become hot enough to cause burns --among these surfaces
are the cooktop, the upper door frame and glass, oven vent
openingandsurfacesneartheopening,andthetopedgeofthe

maycause containerto burst and result in injury.
17.Keepoven vent ducts unobstructed. The ovenvent islocated
at the back ofthe cooktop.
18.Always placeoven racks indesired locationwhile oven iscool.
If rack must be moved while oven is hot, do not let potholder
contact hot heating element in oven.
19.Do not clean door gasket. The door gasket is essentialfor a
goodseal. Care should be taken notto rub,damage or move
the gasket.

20.Do not use oven cleaners. No commercial oven cleaner or
oven liner protective coating of any kind should be used in or
around any part of the oven.
21.Clean only parts listed in this manual and use procedures

broken cooktop and create a shock hazard. Contact an
authorized Jenn-Air Service Contractor.
25.Clean glass-ceramic cooktops with caution. Ifwet sponge or
cloth is usedto 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.
26.Do not operate with damaged cooking element after any
product malfunction until proper repair has been made.
27.Keep all switches "OFF"when unit is not in use.
28.Do not allow aluminum foil to contact heating elements.
29.Do not use aluminum foil to line oven bottom. Installation of
these liners may result in electric shock or fire hazard.
30.WARNING: To reducethe risk oftipping of the appliance,the
appliancemustbesecuredbyproperlyinstalledanti-tipdevices.
To check if devices areinstalled properly, removethe storage
drawer and verify that the anti-tip devices are engaged.
31.This appliance has been tested for safe performance using
conventionalcookware. Do notuseanydevices oraccessories
that are not specifically recommended in this manual. Do not
use eyelid covers for the surface units,stovetop grills, or add-
on convectionsystems. The useofdevicesoraccessoriesthat
are not expressly recommended in this manual can create
serious safety hazards, result in performance problems, and
reduce the life of the components of the appliance.

32.PREPARED FOOD WARNING: Follow food manufacturer's
instructions. If a plastic frozen food container and/or its film
cover distorts, warps or is otherwise damaged during cooking,

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 repro-
ductive harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential
exposures to such substances. Users of this appliance are hereby
warned that when the range is engaged in the 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 range to the outdoors during the
self-clean cycle.
