Flat Pan Tests
See if your pans are flat.
The Ruler Test:
1. Place a ruler across the bottom of the pan.
2. Hold it up to the light.
3. Little or no light should be visible under the ruler.
The Bubble Test:
1. Put 1 inch of water in the pan. Place on cooktop and turn
element knob to Hi.
2. Watch the formation of the bubbles as the water heats.
Uniform bubbles mean good performance, and uneven
bubbles indicate hot spots and uneven cooking.

element.
Secure handles. Cookware with loose or broken handles.
Heavy handles that tilt the pan.
Tight-fitting lids. Loose-fitting lids.
Flat bottom woks. Woks with a ring-stand bottom.
Canning and Oversize Cookware
All canners and large pots must have flat bottoms and
must be made from heavy-gauge materials. This is critical
on smoothtop surfaces. The base must not be more than
1" larger than the element.
When canners and pots do not meet these standards, cooking
times may be longer, and cooktops may be damaged.
Some canners are designed with smaller bases for use on
smoothtop surfaces.
When canning, use the Hi heat setting only until the
water comes to a boil or pressure is reached in the canner.
Reduce to the lowest heat setting that maintains the boil or
pressure. If the heat is not turned down, the cooktop may be
damaged.
Wok Cooking
Use Jenn-Air's flat bottom wok
(Model AO142) for optimum results. The
wok has a nonstick finish, wood handles,
cover, steaming rack, rice paddles, cooking tips and recipes.

Ventilation System

The built-in ventilation system removes cooking vapors, odors
and smoke from foods prepared on your cooktop.
• The pop-up fan control is located at
the front of the air grille. To operate
the ventilation system, push the
knob down to pop it up. Turn the
knob clockwise until it stops for low
fan speed. The fan can be set at any
speed between low and high by
turning the knob counter-clockwise
toward the OFF position.
• The fan can be used to remove strong odors from the
kitchen as when chopping onions near the fan.
Care and Cleaning of the
Ventilation System
• Air Grille: Set the fan control knob in the DOWN
position. Lift the air grille off by grasping the opening at
the rear of the grille. Wipe clean or wash in the dishwasher
or sink with mild household detergents. To prevent
scratching the surface, do not use abrasive cleaners
or scrubbing pads.
• Pop-up Knob: With knob in the DOWN position, remove
the air grille. Place the knob in the UP position. Wipe knob
with a clean cloth and soap and water. Rinse and dry.
Return knob to the DOWN position, replace air grille.
• Filter: Turn off ventilation system before removing. The
filter is a permanent type and should be cleaned when
soiled. Clean in sink with warm water and detergent or in
dishwasher.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT OPERATE SYSTEM WITHOUT
FILTER. Filter should always be placed at an angle. As you
face the front of the cooktop, the bottom of the filter should
rest on the ledge on the right side. The top of the filter
should rest against the left side. There are also ledges on
the front and rear sides for the filter to rest.
Note: If filter is flat against the fan wall, ventilation
effectiveness is reduced.
• 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. It
can be cleaned with paper towel, damp
cloth, or sponge and mild household
detergent or cleanser.
