Read before operating your cooktop
All appliances -regardless of the manufacturer -have the potential
throughimproperor careless useto create safetyproblems. Therefore
the followingsafety precautionsshouldbe observed:
1. Be sure your appliance is properly installedand grounded by a
qualifiedtechnician.
2.Never use your appliancefor warming orheatingthe room.
3. Children should not be left alone or unattended in area where
applianceis inuse or stillhot. They shouldnever be allowedto sit
or stand on any partof the appliance,
4. Wear proper apparel, Loose-fittingor hanging garments should
never be worn while usingthe appliance.
5. Do notrepairorreplaceany partofthe applianceunlessspecifically
recommendedinthismanual. Allotherservicingshouldbe referred
to an authorizedJenn-Air Service Contractor.
6. Flammable materialsshould not be storednear surface units.
7. Do notuse water on grease fires. Smotherfire orflame or use dry
chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
8. Useonlydry potholders.Moistordamppotholderson hotsurfaces
may result in bums from steam. Do not let potholdertouch hot
heating elements.Do not use a towel or other bulkycloth.
9. Use proper pan size.Many appliances are equippedwith one or
more surface unitsofdifferentsize. Select cookware having flat
bottoms large enough to coverthe surface unit heating element.
The useofundersizedcookwarewillexposea portionoftheheating
element to direct contact and may result in ignitionofclothing.
Proper relationshipofcookwareto heating element will also im-
prove efficiencyand performance.
10.Never leave surface units unattendedat high heat settings.Boil
over causes smokingand greasy spilloversthat may ignite.
11. Glazed cookware - only certain types of glass, glass-ceramic,
ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed cookpotsare suitable for
cooktop surface without breaking due to the sudden change in
temperature. Use only such cookware as you know has been
approvedfor this purpose.
12. Cookwarehandles shouldbeturned inwardand not extend over
adjacent surface heating elements to avoid bums, ignition of
flammablematerialsand spillagedueto unintentionalcontactwith
thecookware.
13. CAUTION- Do not store items ofinterestto childrenin cabinets
above a cooktop- childrenclimbingonthe cooktopto reach items
couldbeseriouslyinjured.
14. Do nottouchsurface unitsor areas nearunits. Surface units may
be hoteventhoughtheyare darkincolor. Areas near surface units
may becomehotenoughto cause bums.Duringand after use, do
nottouchor letclothingorotherflammable materialscontactthese
areas untilthey have had sufficienttime to cool.
15. Do not cook on glass-ceramiccooking surface ifthe cooktop is
broken. Cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the
brokencooktopand createa shockhazard. Contactan authorized
Jenn-Air ServiceContractor.
16. Clean glass-ceramiccooktopswithcaution. Ifwetsponge or cloth
is used to wipe spillson a hot cookingarea, becareful to avoid
steam bums. Somecleansers can produce noxious fumes if
appliedto a hot surface.
17. Do not operatewith damaged cookingelement after any product
malfunctionuntilproper repair has been made.
18. Keep allswitches"OFF"when unitis not in use.
19. Clean onlypartslistedinthis manual and useprocedures recom-
mended.
20. Do not use aluminumfoil orfoil containerson the cooktop.These
may become very hot.
21. Thisappliancehas beentestedforsafe performanceusingconven-
tionalcookware. Donotuseanydevicesoraccessoriesthatarenot
specificallyrecommendedinthismanual. Do notuseeyelidcovers
for the surface units or stovetop grills. The use of devices or
accessoriesthat are not expressly recommended in this manual
can create serioussafety hazards,resultinperformance problems,
and reducethe life ofthecomponentsofthe appliance.

To achieve optimumcookingperformance,use heavy gauge, flat, smooth bottom
cookpotsthat conform to the diameter of the cookingarea. Proper cookpotswill
minimizecookingtimes, use less electricity,cookfood more evenlyand requireless
wateror oil.

Usingbad cookpotsalso requiresmorewater, time and energyto cookfood.

shape when heated.
•Usecookpots with flat, smooth bottoms. The twowaystodetermineifcookpots

Whenchoosingcookwareforthe inductionelements,considerthematerial,gauge,and
size ofthecookware.Note: Cookware does NOT haveto be flat for optimum
performanceon the inductionelements.
The cookwareMUST be made of a ferromagneticmaterialin orderto work on the
inductioncooktop.To determineif amaterial is magnetic,test the bottom ofthe
cookwarewitha magnet. Ifthe magnetsticksto theoutsidebottomofthe cookware,
thecookwarewillworkon yourinductionelement.
Examplesof magneticmaterialare:
• porcelainon steel;
•porcelainon cast-iron;
•cast-iron;and
• tri-plystainlesssteel.
Examplesofnonferromagneticmaterials,whichdoNOT workontheinductionelements
are:
•aluminumoraluminumclad;
•copperor copperclad;
•porcelainon aluminum;
•glass-ceramic;or
•earthenware.
Cookwarecomesin a varietyofgaugethicknesses.Thingaugepotswillperformwell
in bringingwater to aboil quickly,simmering,and stewing.Heavier gauge skillets
providea better overallbrowningpattem.
•CookpotsMUST beat least4 or moreinchesin diameterin order to work on the
inductioncooktop.
•Forbetterbrowningwhenpan-frying,matchthe bottomdiameterofthe skilletwith
thesize of the cookingarea.
