Congratulations on your choiceof a Jenn-Air range,The indoor gd//ing of
meats, fish or fowl isone of the most attractive and succulent methods of
preparing these foods ... a uniqueflexibility made possible by Jenn-Air's
patented integral ventilation system.
YourJenn-Airself-cleaningovencombines thebestoftwocookingmethods,
convectionand radiantbake(conventional)bakingor roasting.
The Jenn-Airconvectionovenisactuallya conventionaloventhatcirculates
heatedairwithinthe oven. Asbothbakeandbroilheatingelementscycleon
and offwiththe thermostat,a fan keepstheheatedaircirculatingaroundthe
food. Theconstantlyrecirculatingheated air in the convectionoven strips
awaythe layerofcooler airthatsurroundsfood. Consequently,manyfoods
cook more quickly. Distributedheat makesmultiplerackcookingpossible.
Convectionroastedmeats retaintheir naturalflavor and juicinesswith less
shrinkagethan radiantbake roasting.
In additiontothemanyexclusivebenefitsofconvectioncooking,yourJenn-
Air ovenis alsoa finefullfeatured bake and broiloven.
Youcan cookyour "oldfavorite"recipesasyouhave inthe past. The radiant
bake oven also gives you the flexibilityofpreparingvarious foods when
convectioncookingmaynot beas beneficial, as whencookingfoods in
coveredcasseroles or clay pots. Thebroilelement isconvenientfor top
browningandovenbroilingoffoods.The timebakefeaturecanbe usedwith
eitherthe convectionor radiantbake oven.

above range-children climbing on the rangeto reach items could
be seriously injured.
14. Do not touch grill and surface burner areas or perimeter trim
around cooktop or interior surfaces of oven. During and after use,
theseareas may behot enough to causeburns. Avoid contact with
these areas by clothing or other flammable materials until they
