The built-in ventilation system removes cooking vapors, odors and smoke from foods
prepared on the cooktop, grill and gdll accessories.
Regular use of this system will insure a more comfortable and less humid kitchen which
is free of heavy cooking odors and fumes that normally create a frequent need for
cleaning and redecorating.
• To operate the ventilation system manually, push the switch located in front of the
air grille. If you push on the leftside of the switch, the fan will operate atthe Lo speed.
If you push on the right side of the switch, the fan will operate at the Hi speed. To
turn the fan off, the switch should be returned to the middle (level) position.
• The ventilation system will operate automatically on Hi when the grill burner is in
use. During grilling, the fan speed is automatically set for the Hi setting AND cannot
be changed to Lo speed or manually fumed off.
• Use the Hi fan speed for capturing steam. Use Lo fan speed for capturing smoke
when pan frying.
• The ventilation system can be used to remove strong odors from the kitchen as
when chopping onions near the air grille.
Air Grille: The air grille lifts off easily. Wipe clean or

Ventilation Chamber: This area, which houses the filter, should be cleaned in the event
of spills or whenever it becomes coated with a film of grease. The ventilation chamber
may be cleaned with papertowel, damp cloth, or sponge and a mild household detergent
or cleanser.
To achieve optimum cooking performance use cookpots with fiat bottoms and tight fitting
covers. Flame size should be adjusted so it does not extend beyond the edge of the
cookware. This instruction is based on safety considerations. Adjusting the size of the
flame to fit the size of the cookware also helps to save fuel.
CAUTION: Do NOT allow large pans to contact or extend over the control knobs. Heat
trapped between large pans and control knobs could possibly cause damage to the
control knobs.
Important: Leave a minimum of 1 1/2" between side of pan and surrounding surfaces,
such as countertop backsplash or side walls, to allow heat to escape to avoid possible
damage to these areas.
• Aluminum cookware heats evenly and quickly. A slightly larger flame size can be
used. Theflame can be adjusted so it comes to the edge of the cookware. However,
the flame should NEVER be adjusted so that it extends beyond the bottom of the
cookware.
• Stainless steel cookware with copper or aluminum cores heat evenly and fairly
quickly. The flame size should be adjusted to extend only halfway between center
and edge of the cookware bottom for best results.
• Cast iron cookware heats slowly.
• Check manufacturer's recommendations before using porcelain on steel, porcelain
on cast iron, glass, glass/ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed cookpots.
If the cookware is covered, less fuel will be needed; therefore, a lower flame size can
be used.
Note: Food will not cook any faster when more than the amount of heat needed to
maintain a gentle boil is used.
Your new cooktop bumers have been preset for an "average" set of conditions. Regional
variances in gas pressure and atmospheric conditions such as height above sea level
may affect your initial flame performance•
When the control knob is turned on, gas enters the mixer tube and mixes with air. This
air and gas mixture flows to the burner head and is lighted by a spark from the solid state
igniter•
A properly adjusted burner with clean ports will light within a few seconds, The coneshaped flame will be dear blue in color with a clearly defined inner cone. There should
be no trace of yellow in the flame. A yellow flame indicates an improper mixture of air
and gas. If your flame does not resemble the "correct" flame as described above, follow
the air shutter adjustment instructions below.
The variable surface controls for the surface burners and grill burner provide flexibility
in heat setting selection,
Note: The grill can be replaced with an optional surface burner module, Model AG202.
Surface Burners
In case of prolonged power failure, you can manually light the surface burner by holding
a lighted match nearthe burner ports and slowly turning the control knob counterclockwise
(after depressing) until the gas ignites. There is no fan so smoke and condensation can
gather.

Lo Flame Adjustment
This appliance has been shipped from the factory with Lo and Meal flame settings
adjusted for use with natural gas and average installations.There is a wide variety of
conditions caused by altitude and gas mixturescontrolled by utility companies which will
vary and affect the gas flame and performance. Adjustments should be made at time
of installation. If conditions change, follow the procedures outlined below to adjust the
Lo setting.
1. Light burner and set control knob for low flame,
2. Remove control knob from valve stem,
CAUTION: Never use a metal blade to pry
knob off. If knob cannot be easily removed
tuck the folds of a cloth dishtowelunder the
knob skirt and pull the towel upward with
steady, even pressure.
3. tnsert a slender, thin-blade screwdriver
into the recess at center of valve stem and
engage blade with slot in adjusting screw.
4. Turn center stem adjusting screw slightly
to set flame size. Note: Turn clockwise to
reduce or counterclockwise to increase
flame size.
5. Replace control knob when adjustment is
completed.
Proper adjustment will produce a stable, steady blue flame of minimum size. The final
adjustment should be checked by turning knob from Hi to Lo several times without
extinguishing the flame. This adjustment, at the Lo setting, will automatically provide
the proper flame size at Med setting.

• Before the first use, wash your new grill grates in hot soapy water, rinse and dry.
Then "season" the surface by wiping on a thin coating of cooking oil. Remove
excess oil by wiping again with another paper towel. This procedure should be
repeated when: 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.
• Use nonmetallic spatulas or utensils to prevent damaging the Excalibur ®nonstick
grill grate finish.
• Preheat the grill on Hi for 5 or 10 minutes. Preheating improves the flavor and
appearance of meats and quickly sears the meat to help retain the juices,
• Excessive amounts of fat should be trimmed from meats. Some fat is necessary
to produce the smoke needed for that smoked, "outdoor" flavor. However,
excessive fat can create cleaning and flare-up problems.
• Allowing excessive amounts of grease or drippings to constantly flame voids the
warranty on the grill grates. 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 UNA'I-rENDED DURING GRILL OPERATION.
Should sustained flare-up occur:
1. Turn on FAN manually.
2. Immediatelyturngrillcontrolknobsto OFF position.
3. Remove meat from grill.
IMPORTANT
• Do not use aluminumfoil inside the grillarea.
• Do not use charcoal or woodchips in the grillarea,
• Do notallow burnerbasin to become overloadedwith grease. Clean after each
use.
• Do not covergrates completelywith meat. Leave air space betweeneach steak,
etc, to allowproper ventilationas well as preventflare-ups,
15
Preheat grill on Hi, 5 or 10 minutes, for best flavor.
16
With your Jenn-Air grill literally any food you've considered "at its best" when prepared
outdoors can now be prepared indoors with less fuss 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 15 for using the grill.
•
Suggested cooking times and control settings are approximate due to variations
in meats. Experience will quickly indicate cooking times as well as which settings
work best.
•
For best results, buy top grade meat. Meat that is at least 3/4 inch 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 meat to cook to desired doneness, or untiljuices appear on the top surface,
before turning. Turn steaks and hamburgers just once. Manipulating food
causes loss of juices.
•
When basting meats or applying sauces to foods, remember that exsessive
amounts wind up inside your grill end do not improve the food flavor. Apply
sauces during the last 15 to 20 minutes of cooking time unless recipe specifies
otherwise. Plus, any time a sugar-based marinade, (for example, barbecue
sauce) is going to be used, the grates should be "seasoned" prior to preheating
(see page 15).
•
There are many meat marinades which will help tenderize less expensive cuts of
meat for cooking on the grill.
•
Certain foods, such as poultry 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 turning meat or after cooking is completed.
17
The knobs on the control panel can be removed with the controls in the OFF position. Pull
each knob straight from the shaft. Wash knobs in warm soapy water or dishwasher; do
not use abrasive cleansers or materials. To replace each knob, match flat part of knob
opening with the flat of the shaft, returning in OFF position.
Important: Never use a metal blade to pry knob off. If knob cannot be easily removed,
tuck the folds of a cloth dishtowel under the knob skirt and pull the towel upward with
steady, even pressure.
Use mild cleansers, such as soapy water or mild liquid sprays, such as 409. Wipe with
sponge, damp cloth or paper towel. Do not scrub with S.O.S. pads or abrasive
cleansers.
Be sure the grill is cool and controls are off. These are made from cast aluminum and are
coated with the Excalibur_ nonstick finish.
• After the grill grates havecooled,wipe off grates with a paper towel. Wash cool grates
(DO NOT IMMERSE HOT GRILL GRATES IN WATE R)with soap or detergent in hot
water in the sink or wash them in the dishwasher. Be sure to remove all food residue
before cooking on the grill grates again.
• Remove stubborn spots with a plastic mesh puff or pad. For best results, use only
those cleaning products which state they are recommended for use when cleaning
nonstick surfaces.
• If grates are washed in the dishwasher, season with oil prior to grilling.
• Donotusemetalbrushesorabrasivescouringpadsorotherscrubbersintendedto
clean outdoor charcoal grills. These will remove the finish as well as scratch the
grates. Do not clean in the self-cleaning oven or use oven cleaners on the grates.
The grill bumer should be cleaned after each use. It can be cleaned with a soapy S.O.S.
pad or in the dishwasher. Rinse and dry thoroughly before using again. For heavy soil,
burner should be cleaned first with a soapy S.O.S. pad, rinsed and dried. Then it can be
cleaned in a self-clean oven for 2 hours.

NOTE:
• The porcelain enamel used on your cooktop is acid resistant, not acid proof.
Therefore, acid foods (such as vinegar, tomato, milk, etc.) spilled on the cooktop
should be wiped up immediately with a dry cloth.
• Do NOT use abrasive cleaners, S.O.S. or Brillo pads.
• Remove sugar spills immediately.
• Do NOT clean in a self-clean oven.
• Check to be sure all burner ports are open. To open clogged porte, insert a
toothpick directly into each port.
Although the burner grate Lsdurable, it will gradually lose its shine and/or discolor,
regardless of the care you take of it. This is due to its exposure to the high temperature
of the gas flames.
To preserve the porcelain enamel finish as long as possible, have a pan on the grate
before you turn on the burner, and Lowerthe flame when food reaches the desired
cooking temperature.

• To clean light soil,wipe with soapy cloth or nonabrasive cleanser, such as Soft Scrub.
Rinse,buff withsoft cloth; polishwith glass cleaner if necessary.
• To clean moderatesoil or discolorationof the surface (excessive heat will cause a
golden discoloration), clean with Zud, Bar Keepers Friend, or Luneta (Jenn-Air
Model A9t 2, Part No. 712191 ). With a sponge or cloth, rub cleanserwith the grain
to avoid streaking the surface. Rinse well, buff dry; polishwith a glass cleaner if
necessary to remove cleanser residue and smudge marks.
• Heavy soil, such as burned on food soil, can be removed by first cleaning as per the
instructions for moderate soil. Stubborn stains can be removed with a damp ScotchBritescour-pad; rub evenly with the grain to avoid streaking the surface. Rinse well,
buff with dry cloth; polish with glass cleaner if necessary to remove cleanser residue
and smudge marks. Scotch-Brite is also useful in buffing and removing minor
scratches.
i
• It is important to keep igniter port openings on burners clear and free of obstructions
to avoid ignition failure and possible gas buildup. If the port openings are blocked,
use a toothpick to remove food particles.
• The igniter cap and stem can be cleaned with warm soapy water and a plastic
scrubber. The wire electrode inside thecap can be cleaned with a smalrbrush. Rinse
and dry.
A drain jar is located below the grill basin pan

Jenn-Air's ventilation system is designed to capture both cooking fumes and smoke
while grilling. If the system does not, these are some ducting installation situations to
check:
•
6" diameter round or 31/4" x 10" rectangular ducting should be used for duct lengths
10'-60'. Note: 5" diameter round ducting must be used if the duct length is 10'
or Jess.
•
No more than three 90 ° elbows should be used. Distance between elbows should
be at least 18".
•
Recommended Jenn-Air wall cap should be used. Make sure damper moves freely
when ventilation system is operating.
•
There should be a minimum clearance of 8" for eooktop installed near a side wall.
If there is not an obvious improper installation, there may be a concealed problem such
as a pinched joint, obstruction in the pipe, etc. Installation is the responsibility of the
and questions should be addressed first by the installer. The installer should
very carefully check the ducting installation instructions.
21
Check the forlowing list to be sure a service call is really necessary.
If grill or surface burner fails to light:
• check to be sure unit is properlyconnectedto power supply,
• check for a blowncircuitfuse or a trippedmain circuit breaker.
• check to be sure burner ports or ignition ports are not clogged.
• check to be sure igniter is clicking. If igniter doesn't click, turn control
knob off and clean iginitor.
• check to be sure appliance regulator is set for correct fuel.
• check to be sure inlet pressure is adequate.
