•For best results, always use recommended cookware.

•Different cookpots and different amounts of food being prepared will influence the control settings needed for best results. For fastest cooking, start with the surface 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.

•Do not allow pans to boil dry as this could damage both the cooktop and the pan.

•Do not drop heavy cookware on the cooktop surface.

I Selecting Proper Cookware I

•Select cookware with flat bottoms. Flat bottom pans are the fastest and best conductors of heat and provide the most consistent and satisfactory results. The entire bottom of the pan should touch the heating element evenly. Avoid using pans with convex, concave or irregular bottoms. A pan which is not flat receives the most heat at the point of contact, which causes "hot spots" and uneven heat distribution. Hot spots can result in scorching or burning of the food. Uneven heat distribution slows the cooking process and wastes energy.

•To determine if pan is flat, lay a straight edge ruler against the bottom. (See p. 8)

•Do not use a pan with a turned down flange around the bottom or a ripple bottom.

•Do not use a pans that extend more than 1 inch on either side of the element. Use the correct size pan for the size of the heating element. (See exceptions for canners and stockpots below.)

•Do not use wire trivets or any kind of heat retarding pad between the pan and element. Reduce the control setting instead.

•Special cooking equipment without flat bottoms, such as the Oriental wok, should not be used on the cooktop. Use the Jenn-Airwok accessory, Model A0142, on the cooktop. It has a flat bottom and is designed to be used on the small element.

•Large stockpots and canners should be used with Jenn-Air's"Big-pot"canning element only (Model A145A). The use of large pans on the large element on Hi for extended periods of time can cause damage to the cooktop, discolor chrome drip pans, shorten the life of the etement, as well as trap excess heat inside the cooktop.

NOTE: CCE1400 OWNERS: Sustained trapped heat can cause the large elements ......

to cycle off. Elements wilt cycle back on after the cooktop has cooled down. CVE1400 OWNERS: Sustained trapped heat can cause the downdraft fan to cycle on. Downdraft fan will cycle off after the cooktop has cooled down.
