All appliances-- regardlessof the manufacturer--have the potential
throughimproperorcarelessuseto createsafetyproblems. Therefore
thefollowing safetyprecautionsshouldbe observed:
1, Be sure your appliance isproperly 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 inarea where
appliance isinuse. They should never beallowed to sitorstand
on any part of the appliance.
4. Wear proper apparel. Loose-fitting orhanging 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 toanauthorized 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 thesurface unit heating
element. The useof 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 athigh heat settings. Boil
over maycause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite.
11.Glazed cookware --only certain types of glass, glass-ceramic,
ceramic, earthenware orother glazed cookpots aresuitable for
rangetop surface without breaking due tothe sudden change in
temperature. Use only such cookware as you know has been
approved for this purpose.
12.Cookware handles should be turned inward and not extend
over adjacent surface heating elements to avoid burns, ignition
offlammable materials and spillage due to unintentional contact
with thecookware.
13.CAUTION -- Donot store items of interest tochildren incabinets
above a range - children climbing on the range to reach items
could be seriously injured.
14.Do not soak or immerse removable heating elements in water.
15.Donot touch surface unitsorareas near units, heating elements
or interior surfaces of oven. Surface units or heating elements
may be hot even though they are dark in color. Areas near
surface units and interior surfaces of an oven may become hot
enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch or
let clothing or other flammable materials contact these areas
until they have had sufficient 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
opening and surfaces near the opening, and the top edge ofthe
control panel.
16.Use care when opening oven door. Let hot air orsteam escape
before removing or replacing food.
17.Do not heat unopened food containers. Build-up of pressure
may cause container to burst and result in injury.
18.Keepoven vent ducts unobstructed. Theoven vent is located
underneath the air grille. (Model SVE87600) or at the back of
the cooktop (Model SCE70600).
19.Always place oven racks in desired location while oven is cool.
If rack must be moved while oven is hot, do not let potholder
contact hot heating element in oven.
20.Do not clean door gasket. The door gasket is essential for a
good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or move
the gasket.
21. Donot use oven cleaners. Nocommercial ovencleaner or oven
liner protective coating of any kind should be used in oraround
any part of the oven.
22.Clean only parts listed in this manual and use procedures
recommended.
23.CAUTION: BEFORE SELF-CLEANING THEOVEN, REMOVE
FOOD, BROILER PAN AND OTHER UTENSILS.
24.Listen for fan. A fan noise should be heard during the broil and
cleaning cycles. If not, call a serviceman before self-cleaning
again.
25. Do not cook on glass-ceramic cooking surface if the cooktop is
broken. Cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the
broken cooktop and create a shock hazard. Contact an
authorized Jenn-Air Service Contractor.
26.Clean glass-ceramic cooktops with caution. If wet sponge or
cloth is used to 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.
27.Do not operate with damaged cooking element after any
product malfunction until proper repair has been made.
28. Keep all switches "OFF" when unit is not in use.
29. Do not allow aluminum foil to contact heating elements.
30.On conventional element cartridges make sure that drip pans
are in place. Absence of these pans during cooking may
subject wiring or components underneath to damage.
31. Donot use aluminum foilto line surface unitdrip pans, grill basin
or oven bottom. Installation ofthese liners may result in electric
shock or fire hazard.
32.WARNING: To reduce the risk of tipping of the appliance, the
appliance must besecured by properly installed anti-tip devices.
To check if devices are installed properly, remove the access
panel (Model SVE87600) or the storage drawer (Model
SCE70600) and verify that the anti-tip devices are engaged.
33.This appliance has been tested for safe performance using
conventional cookware.Donot use any devices oraccessories
that are not specifically recommended in this manual. Do not
use eyelid covers for the surface units, stovetop grills, or add-
on convection systems. Theuseof devices or accessories that
are not expressly recommended in this manual can create
serious safety hazards, result in performance problems, and
reduce the lifeof the components of the appliance.
34. 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,
immediately discard the food and its container. The food could
be contaminated.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE AND WARNING
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of
1986(Proposition 65) requires the GovernorofCaliforniatopublish
alist ofsubstances knownto the State ofCalifornia tocause cancer

Foradditionalinformation,referto useand caremanualpackaged withyour cartridge.
11
When an element is turned ON, the element will heat up and the red glow of the heating
element can be seen through the glass-ceramic top. It is normal to see the red glow of
the elementwhenever it cycles on. The elementswill cycle on and off for all control
settings except Hi. However, it may also cycle on Hi if improper cookware is used.
BEFORE FIRST USE CLEAN COOKTOP. (See p.51.)
For best results, always userecommendedcookware.
Different cookpots and different amounts of food being prepared will influence the
control settings needed for best results. For fastest cooking, start with thesurface
control on Hi for one minute; then turn the control to the lower desired setting.
Covering pans,whenever possible,speeds cooking and is more energy efficient.
The glass-ceramic cooking area retains heat for a period of time after the elements
have been turned off. Put this retained heat to good use. Turn the elements off a
few minutes before food is completely cooked and use theretained heat to complete
the cooking. Because of this heat retention characteristic, the elements will not
respond to changes in heat settings as quickly as coil elements. In the event of a
potential believer, remove the cookpot from the cooking area.
When preparing foods which can be easily scorched or overcooked,start cooking at
a lower temperature setting and gradually increase temperature as needed.
A higher setting than normal may be necessary when using cookpots made with
material that is slow to conduct heat, such as cast iron.
A lower setting can be used when cooking small quantities of foods or when using
a cookpot that conducts heat quickly.
IMPORTANT
De not use wire trivets, fire rings, pads or any such item between the cookware and
the element.
Do not cook foods directly on cooktop.
Do not allow pan to boil dry as this could damage the cooktop and the pan.
Do not slide heavy metal or glass cookpots across surface since these may scratch
the surface,
Do not use or place plastic items anywhere on cooktop.

Make sure bottoms of cookpots are always clean and dry. (Soil from the cookpot
bottom can be transferred to the cooktop surface.) Before using cookpots on the
glass-ceramic cooktop for the first time, and periodically as needed, clean the
bottoms with scouring pads or other cleansers. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
Make it a practice to wipe cooktop surface with a clean damp cloth or paper towel
before eachuse; dry thoroughly. Invisible spatters, dust specks, c_eansers or water
can cause stains that appear after unit is heated. A sponge or dishcloth which is not
clean will leave film and soil laden detergent water which may cause stains on
surface after area is heated.
When frying, use a spatter shield to reduce spattering.
Use correct control settings and cookware large enough to hold food and liquid to
prevent boilovers and splattering.
Ifa bad spiliover occurs while cooking, spills may be cleaned from the cooktop while

towel. Be careful to avoid burns from steam or hands touching the hot cooktop.
See cleaning instructions on page 51.

To achieve optimum cooking performance, use heavy gauge, flat, smooth bottom
cookpotsthat conformto the diameterof the radiantelement (no morethan one inch
overhang).Propercookpotswillminimizecookingtimes, useless electricity,cook food
moreevenlyand require lesswater or oil.
Cookpotswith thin,unevenbottoms do not adequately conductheat from the radiant

Heavy gauge cookpots with flat, smooth bottoms will usually work in a similar way.
However,thereare some differencesin the cookingperformanceof various materials.
Aluminum cookpotsheatquicklyand evenly.Best suitedfor simmering,braising,

Stainless steelcookpots will evenly distribute heat if constructed of tri-ply or
combined with other metals such as aluminum and copper.Use for cooking
functions similarto aluminum.
Cast iron cookpots are slow to heat but cook more evenly once temperature is
reached. Use forlong term low heatcookingor for browningandfrying.
Glass ceramic, earthenware,heat-proofglass or glazed cookpots can be used if

Installing Other Grill Accessories
1. Removethetwoblackgrillgratesfromthegrill. Nowyouarereadytousetheoptional
grill accessories.
2. Reviewthe instructionsfor installingand usingthe accessoriesthat are packaged
with theaccessory.
Note: Accessoryoptionsare shownon page 58.
17
Beforethefirstuse,washyournewgrillgratesinhotsoapywater,rinse and dry.Then
"season" the surface by wiping on a thin coating of cooking oil. Remove excess oil
bywiping againwith another paper towel.This procedure should berepeated when
either: a) cleaning in the dishwasher since the detergent may remove seasoning, or
b) anytime a sugar-based marinade (for example, barbecue sauce) is going to be
used.
Preheat the grill on Hi for5 minutes. Preheating improves the flavor and appearance
of meats and quickly sears the meat to help retain the juices.The heating element
should glow a bright cherry red.
Use nonmetallic spatulas or utensils to prevent damaging the Excalibur ®nonstick
grill grate finish.
Excessive amounts of fat should be trimmed from meats. Only a normal amount is
necessary toproduce the smoke needed for that smoked, "outdoor" flavor. Excessive
fat can create cleaning and flare-up problems.
Allowing excessive amounts of grease or drippings toconstantly flame voids the
warranty on the grillgrates. Excessive flare-ups indicate that either the grill interior
needs to be cleaned or that excessive amounts of fat are in the meat or the meat was
not properly trimmed.
Grease drippings will occasionally ignite to produce harmless puffs of flame for a
second or two.This is a normal part of the cooking process.
NEVER LEAVE GRILL UNATTENDED DURING GRILL OPERATION.
Shouldexcess greasecausesustainedflare-up
1. Turn on FAN manually.
2. Immediately turn grillcontrol(e) OFF.
3. Removemeat from grill.
IMPORTANT
Do notuse aluminum foil inside the grill area.
• Donot use charcoalorwoodchips inthegrill area.
Do not allow grill-rocks to become overloaded with grease. Clean frequently.
Do not cover grates completely with meat. Leave air space between each steak,
etc. to allow proper ventilation as well as prevent flare-ups.
18
Preheat grill on Hi, 5 minutes, for best flavor.
Note: This chart is a suggested quide. Cooking times and control settings are
approximate due to variations in meats and voltage.
19
With yourJenn-Ai rgrill andaccessories, literally any food you've considered "at itsbest" when
prepared outdoors can now be prepared indoors with lessfuss and great flavor. The following
suggestions are good rules to follow and will increase your enjoyment of the equipment.
Be sure to follow directions on page 18 for using the grill.
Suggested cookingtimes and control settings are approximate due tovariations inmeats
and electrical voltage. Experience will quickly indicate cooking times as well as which
settings work best.
Use the Energy-Saver grillelement for grilling small amounts offood on half of the grillor
for keeping cooked foods warm or preparing foods requiring different control settings.
For best results,buy top grade meat.Meat that isat least J"inch thick will grill better than
thinner cuts.
Score fat on edges of steak, but do not cut into meat, to prevent curling while cooking.
For the attractive "branded" look on steaks,be sure grill is preheated. Allow one side of
meattocooktodesired doneness, or untiljuices appear onthe topsurface, beforeturning.
Turn steaks and hamburgers just once. Manipulating food causes loss of juices.
Whenbasting meatsor applyingsauces to foods, remember thatexcessive amounts wind
up inside your grill and do not improve the food flavor. Apply sauces during the last 15
to 20 minutes of cooking time unless recipe specifies otherwise. Sugar-based sauces,
excessively used, will carmelize on the grill-rocks and create extra cleaning.
There are many meat marinades which will help tenderize less expensive cuts of meat
for cooking on the grill.
Certain foods, such aspoultry and non-oily fish, may need some extra fat.Brush with oil
or melted butter occasionally while grilling.
Use tongs with long handles or spatulas for turning meats. Do not use forks as these
pierce the meat, allowing juices to be lost.
To help retain meat juices, salt after cooking iscompleted.
Should grilled foods be prepared and ready beforeyou're ready to serve, turn control to
a low setting and cover meat with a single sheet of aluminum foil Food will continue to
cook.
Be sure the grill is cool and controls are OFF.
