Jenn-Air JGD8430 Ventilation System, Glass-Ceramic Surface, Clockwise to Low or High

USING YOUR COOKTOP

Notes

•A properly adjusted burner with clean ports will light within a few seconds. If using natural gas, the flame will be blue with a deeper blue inner cone.

If the burner flame is yellow or is noisy, the air/gas mixture may be incorrect. Contact a service technician to adjust. (Adjustments are not covered by the warranty.)

With LP gas, some yellow tips on the flames are accept- able. This is normal and adjustment is not necessary.

•With some types of gas, you may hear a “popping” sound when the surface burner is turned off. This is a normal operating sound of the burner.

•To improve cooking efficiency and to prevent possible damage to the cooktop or pan, the flame must be ad- justed so it does not extend beyond the edge of the pan.

Ventilation System

Glass-Ceramic Surface

Notes

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

•The glass-ceramic surface may appear discolored when it is hot. This is normal and will disappear when the surface cools.

•Glass-ceramic cooktops retain heat for a period of time after the unit is turned off.

•Do not attempt to lift the cooktop.

Tips to Protect the Glass-Ceramic Surface

•Before first use, clean the cooktop. (See Cleaning, page 8.)

•Do not allow plastic, sugar or foods with high sugar content to melt onto the hot cooktop. Should this happen, clean immediately. (See Cleaning, page 8.)

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

•Do not slide metal pans across a hot surface. The pans may leave marks which can be difficult to remove or leave permanent marks. Any marks should be removed promptly. (See Cleaning, page 8.)

•To prevent scratching or damage to the glass-ceramic top, do not leave sugar, salt or fats on the cooking area. Wipe the cooktop surface with a clean cloth or paper towel before using.

•Never use a soiled dish cloth or sponge to clean the cooktop surface. A film will remain which may cause stains on the cooking surface after the area is heated.

•Do not use foil or foil-type containers. Foil may melt onto the glass. If metal melts on the cooktop, do not use. Call an authorized Jenn-Air Servicer.

•Do not allow spills to remain on the cooking area or the cooktop trim for a long period of time.

•Do not use abrasive cleansing powders or scouring pads which will scratch the cooktop.

•Do not use chlorine bleach, ammonia or other cleansers not specifically recommended for use on glass-ceramic.

•To retain the appearance of the glass-ceramic gas cooktop, clean after each use.
