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 undersizedcookwarewill exposea portionof 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, On conventionalelementcooktopsmake surethat drip pans are in place. Absence of thesepans during cookingmay subject wiring or components underneath to damage. 12. Do not use aluminumfoil to line surface unit drip pans or grillbasin. Installationof these liners may result in an electric shock or fire hazard.

is about 3 inches above the cooktop. Lifting the cartridge too high while stilt engaged in the receptacle could damage the terminal plug. 4. To disengage terminal, hold cartridge by the ventilation chamber side and slide away from the terminal receptacle. Lift out when fully unplugged. 5. Do not stack cartridges where they may fall or be damaged, Never store other materials on top of a glass-ceramic cartridge since this could damage or mar the surface. Note: Remember to replace the air grille before using the ventilation system.

WithyourJenn-Airgrill andaccessories,literallyanyfood you’veconsidered”at its best” when prepared outdoorscan now be prepared indoorswith lessfuss and great flavor.
The following suggestionsare good rulesto follow and will increaseyour enjoyment of the equipment.
· Be sure to followdirectionson page 9 for using the grill.
· Suggestedcookingtimes and controlsettingsere approximatedue to vadationsin meatsand etectricalvoltage. Experiencewill quicklyindicatecookingtimes aswell as which settingswork best.
· Use the Energy-Savergrill elementfor grilling smallamounts of food on haft of the grill or for keeping cookedfoods warm or preparingfood requiringdifferentcontrol settings.
· For bestresults, buytop grademeat. Meat that is at leasts,4inchwill grill betterthan thinner cuts.
· Score fat on edges of steak, but do not cut into meat, to prevent cuding whi}e cooking.
· For the attractive “branded” look on steaks,be sure grill is preheated. Allow one side of meat to cook to desired doneness,or untiljuicesappearon the top surface, beforeturning. Turn steaks and hamburgersjust once. Manipulating food causes loss of juices.
· When basting meats or applying sauces to foods, remember that excessive amountswind up insideyour grill and do not improvethe food flavor. Applysauces during the last 15to 20 minutesof cookingtime unless recipe specifiesotherwise. Plus, anytime a sugar-based marinade (for examplebarbecue sauce) is going to be used, the grates should be “seasoned”prior to preheating. (See p. 9.)
· There are many meat marinadeswhich will help tenderize less expensive cuts of meat for cookingon the grill.
· Certain foods, such as poultry and non-oilyfish, may need some extra fat. Brush with oil or melted butter occasionally while grilling.
· Usetongs with long handlesor spatulasfor turningmeats. Donot useforks asthese pierce the meat, allowingjuices to be lost.
· To help retain meat juices, salt after turning meat or after cooking is completed.
· Should grilled foods be prepared and ready before you’re ready to serve, turn controlto a low settingand cover meat with a singlesheetof foil. Foodwill contin’:_ to cook.

Be sure the grill is cooland controls are in the OFF position.

Check the following list to be sure a service call is really necessary. A quick reference of this manual may prevent an unneeded service call.
If nothing on the cooktop operates:
· check for a blown circuit fuse or a tripped main circuit breaker. · check if cooktop is properly connected to electric circuit in house.
If grill heating element or cooktop element does not get hot enough:
· check if heating element is plugged in solidly. · surface controls may not be set properly. · voltage to house may be low.
If ventilation system is not capturing smoke efficiently:
· check on cross ventilation in room or make up air. · excessive amount of smoke is being created; check instructions for grilling,
trimming meats. (See p. 9.) · cooktop may be improperly installed; check ducting information. (See p. 15.) · air filter may be improperly installed. (See p. 5.)
Note; If either element of the cooktop cartridge fails to heat–switch the cartridge to the other side of cooktop. If it operates on that side, then cooktop control switch may be at fault. If itdoes notheat on eitherside- _indications are that the cartridge requires service. In this event, you may speed service by delivering the lightweight cartridge to the authorized Jenn- Air Service Contractor, thus by-passing the time required for normal home- service schedules.
