Drip Bowls	Cooking	Areas

The drip bowls, located under each surface element, are designed to catch boilovers and must always be used. Ab- sence of these bowls during cooking may damage wiring or

other parts underneath the cooktop.

To prevent the risk of electric shock or fire, never line drip bowls with aluminum foil.

Drip bowls will discolor or craze over time, if overheated. This discoloration or crazing is permanent. However, it will

not affect cooking performance. To protect drip bowl finish:

•Avoid using high heat settings for long periods of time.

•Do not use oversized cookware. Pans should not extend more than 1-2 inches beyond the element.

•When home canning, use the Canning Element

Accessory (ModelCE1). Contactyour Jenn-Airdealer for details.

•Clean frequently. (See cleaning section, page 20.)

Glass-Ceramic Surface

(select models)

•On Canadian models, the right front element will not operate during a self-clean cycle. This is normal.

•Cooktop may emit a light smoke and odor the first few times the cooktop is used. This is normal.

•When a control is turned on, a red glow from the element can be seen through the glass-ceramic surface. The element will cycle on and off to maintain the preset heat setting,

•Glass-ceramic cooktops retain heat for a period of time

after the unit is turned off. When the HOT SURFACE light turns off (see page 9), the element will be cool

enough to touch.

The cooking areas on your range are identified by permanent patterns on the glass-ceramic surface. For most efficient cooking, fit the pan size to the element size.

Pans should not extend more than 1/2 to 1-inch beyond the cooking area. (For more information on cookware, refer to "Cooking Made Simple" booklet.)

Tips to Protect the Surface

•Before first use, clean the cooktop as directed in the cleaning chart on page 21.

•Do not use glass pans. They may scratch the surface.

•Do not allow plastic, aluminum foil, sugar or foods with high sugar content to melt onto the hot cooktop. If these

accidentally melt onto the cooktop, clean immediately. (See cleaning chart, page 21 .)

•Never use cooktop as a work surface or cutting board.

•Never cook food directly on the surface.

•Never let a pan boil dry as this will permanently damage the surface and pan.

•Never use foil-type disposable containers or place a trivet or wok ring between the surface and pan. These items can mark or etch the top.

•Do not slide aluminum pans across a hot surface. The pans may leave marks which need to be removed promptly. (See cleaning chart, page 21)

•Make sure the surface and the pan bottom are clean before turning on to prevent scratches.
