Using Your Cooktop

Surface Controls

CAUTION

•If flame should go out during a cooking operation, turn the burner off. If a strong gas odor is detected, open a window and wait five minutes before relighting the burner.

•Be sure all surface controls are set to the OFF position prior to supplying gas to the cooktop.

•NEVER touch cooktop until it has cooled. Expect some parts of the cooktop, especially around the burners, to become warm or hot during cooking. Use potholders to protect hands.

Surface Control

Knobs

Use to turn on the surface burners. An infinite choice of heat settings is available from Lo to Hi. At the Hi setting a detent or notch may be felt.

Pilotless

Ignition

Pilotless ignition eliminates the need for a constant standing pilot light. Each surface burner has a spark ignitor. Use care when cleaning around the surface burner.

If the surface burner does not light, check if ignitor is broken, soiled or wet.

Setting the Controls

Your cooktop has sealed gas burners with automatic re- ignition. If the burner flame should go out, the system will automatically spark to re-ignite the burner.

1.Place a pan on the burner grate. (To preserve the grate finish, do not operate the burners without a pan on the grate to absorb the heat from the burner flame.)

2.Push in knob and turn immediately counterclockwise to the desired setting.

•A clicking (spark) sound will be heard and the burner will light. (All ignitors will spark when any surface burner knob is turned on. However, only the selected burner will light.)

Operating During a

Power Failure

1.Hold a lighted match to the desired surface burner head.

2.Push in and turn the control knob slowly to the desired setting.

CAUTION

•When lighting the surface burners, be sure all of the controls are in the OFF position. Strike the match first and hold it in position before turning the knob.

•Do not leave the cooktop unattended when cooking during a power failure. The automatic re-ignition feature will not operate during a power failure.

Suggested Heat Settings

The size and type of cookware will affect the heat setting. For information on cookware and other factors affecting heat settings, refer to “Cooking Made Simple” booklet.

SETTINGS	USES
Hi	Use Hi to bring liquid to a boil, or reach
	pressure in a pressure cooker. Always
	reduce setting to a lower heat when
	liquids begin to boil or foods begin to
	cook.

An intermediate flame size is used to continue cooking. Food will not cook any faster when a higher flame setting is used than needed to maintain a gentle boil. Water boils at the same tempera- ture whether boiling gently or vigorously.

Lo	Use Lo to simmer foods, keep foods
	warm and melt chocolate or butter.

Some cooking may take place on the Lo setting if the pan is covered. It is possible to reduce the heat by rotating the knob toward OFF. Be sure flame is stable.

Renowned for their sleek designs and high-performance capabilities, Jenn-Air Cooktops are a favorite among both home cooks and professional chefs.

Induction cooktops use electromagnetic energy to heat pots and pans directly, offering precise temperature control and rapid heating times. This means water can boil in a matter of minutes, and meticulously controlled simmering can be achieved with ease. Additionally, induction cooking is inherently safer, as the cooktop surface remains cool to the touch, minimizing the risk of burns.

Another characteristic of Jenn-Air Cooktops is their versatility. Models come with various burner configurations, allowing users to select their preferred setups to suit different cooking styles. From traditional gas burners to radiant electric elements and seamless induction surfaces, homeowners can find a Jenn-Air Cooktop that meets their culinary needs.

The design aesthetic of Jenn-Air Cooktops cannot be overlooked. With modern, minimalist lines and high-quality materials like stainless steel, black glass, or even colorful ceramic, these cooktops are designed to complement any kitchen décor. The ability to flush mount certain models provides a seamless look, enhancing the overall appearance of the kitchen space.

Maintaining cleanliness and hygiene is crucial in any kitchen, and Jenn-Air Cooktops make this easy. Many induction models come with easy-to-clean surfaces that resist spills and splatters, providing a hassle-free cooking experience. Some models feature advanced sensors that detect when cookware is removed or repositioned, automatically adjusting the heating elements to prevent unnecessary energy loss.

Incorporating smart technology, select Jenn-Air Cooktops allow for compatibility with advanced cooking applications. Users can access guided cooking features, monitor cooking progress, and receive notifications directly on their smartphones. This integration of technology enhances the cooking experience, making it accessible and efficient for today’s culinary enthusiasts.
