About Your
Jenn-Air
Congratulations on your choice of a Jenn-Air Grill-Range.The indoor
grilling of meats,fish or fowl isoneof the most attractiveandsucculent
methods of preparingthesefoods.., a uniqueflexibility made possible
by Jenn-Air's patented integral ventilation system.
Your Jenn-AJrself-cleaning oven combines the best of two cooking
methods, convection and radiant bake (conventional) baking or
roasting. (Note: Only Models S156 and $161 have the convection
option.)
The Jenn-Air convection oven is actually a conventional oven that
circulates heated air within the oven.As both bake and broil heating
elements cycle on and off with the thermostat, afan keepsthe heated
air circulating around the food.
The constantly recireulating heated air in the convection oven strips
away the layer of cooler air that surrounds food. Consequently, many
foods cook more quickly. Distributed heat makes multiple rack
cooking possible.Convection roastedmeatsretain their natural flavor
and juiciness with lessshrinkage than radiant bake roasting.
In addition to the many exclusive benefits of convection cooking,
your Jenn-Air oven isalso a fine full featured "bakeand broil" oven.
You can cook your "old favorite" recipes as you have in the past.
The radiant bake ovenalsogivesyou the flexibility of preparingvarious
foods when convection cooking may not be as beneficial, as when
cooking foods in coveredcasserolesor clay pots.
The broil element is convenient for top browning and oven broiling
of foods.
Before you begin cooking with your new grill-range, please take a
few minutes to read and become familiar with the instructions in
this book. Onthe following pagesyou will find awealth of information
regarding all aspects of using your new grill-range. By following the
instructions carefully, you will be able to fully enjoy and properly
maintain your grill-range and achieve excellent results with the food
you prepare.
Should you haveany questions about using your Jenn-Air grill-range
or need a use and care manual for your cooktop cartridge, write
to us. Be sure to providethe model number.

Using.Cooktop
Cartridges
Cooktop cartridges, either conventional coil, glass-ceramic, solid element or
induction,canbe installedoneithersideof the range.
To Install Cartridges
1. If the grill element, grill-rocks or grates are in place, removebefore installing
a cooktop cartridge. Clean grill basin of any grease accumulation. (See page
16for cleaning recommendations.)
2. To install any of the optional cooktop cartridges, first be sure control knobs
are turned OFF. Position the cartridge terminal plug towards the terminal
receptacle. This receptacle is located at the front of the left side and at the
back of the right sideof the range.
3. Slide the cartridge towards the receptacle until the cartridge terminal plug is
completelyengaged.
4. Lowerthe oppositeend of the cartridge into the range top until it isflush with
thesurface. Your cooktopis now readyto use.
To Remove Cartridges
1. Control knobs mustbe in the OFF positionand the cartridge should be cool
2. Lift up on the "tab" located on the cartridge until top of cartridge clears the
opening on the range by about 2 inches. Lifting the cartridge too high while
st(l(engaged (nthe receptaclecould damagethe terminal plug.
3. To disengage terminal, hold cartridge by the sides and slide away from the
terminal receptacle. Lift out when fully unplugged.
4. A storage tray, Model A350, is availableand can be used for storing a cartridge
(except the induction cartridge).
5. Do not stack cartridges where they may fall or be damaged. Never store other
materials on top of the glass-ceramic cartridges since this could damage or
mar the surface.
Home Canning
Cann{ngshouldbedone onthe conventionalcoil or inductioncartridgeonly. Canning
element accessory, Model A145, makes it possible to use large canners with
conventionalcoil cartridge,
11
The grill accessory consistsof two black grill grates, a grill element and two grill-rocks.
To Install Grill
1. Before installing grill components, be certainsurface controls arein the OFF position.
2. Place the two grill-rocks into an empty grill basin with their handles running parallel
to the front of the range. These grill-rocks must be used since they support the
grill element.
3. Position the grill element with the terminal plug towards the terminal receptacle.
This receptacle is located at the front of the left side end at the back of the right
side of the range. Slide the element towards the receptacle until the terminal plug
iscompletely engaged.
4. The grillelement should now reston the handles of the grill-rocks.
5. Place the black grill grates on the top of the range top.
To Remove Grill
1. Remove grill components once they are cool. Be sure control switches ere in the
OFF position.
2. To remove gdll element, pull away from receptacle until it Is unplugged. Do not lift
theelement while it isengaged inthe receptacle since this coulddamage the terminal.
3. A storage tray, Model A350, is available for purchase and can be used for storing
thegdll assembly.
Installing Other Accessories
1. Remove the two black grill grates from the grill. Now you are ready to use the
optional grill accessories.
2. Review the instructionsfor installing and using the accessoriesthat are packaged
with the accessory,
12
Using the Grill
• Before using the gdll for the first time, wash grill grates in hot soapy water; rinse
and dry.
• Precondition new grates and grill-rocks by brushing with vegetable oil or spraying
with a nonstick coating such as Pare. This procedure should be repeated after
cleaning in a dishwasher since the detergent removes seasoning.
• For easier clean-up, as well as preventing meats from sticking to grates until
they are seasoned, spray grates, grill-rocks and grill basinwith a nonstick coating.
• Preheat grill on HI setting for 5 minutes. Preheating improves the flavor and
appearance of meats and quickly sears the meat to help retain the juices. The
heating element should glow a bright cherry red.
• Excessive amounts of fat should be trimmed from meats. Only a normal amount
is necessary to produce the smoke needed for that smoked, "outdoor" flavor.
Excessivefat can create cleaning and flame-up problems.
• Allowing excessive amounts of grease or,drippings to constantly flame voids the
warranty on gri//grates. Excessive flame-ups indicate that either the grill interior
needs to be cleaned or that excessive amounts of fat are in the meat or the
meat was not properly trimmed.
• Grease drippings will occasionally ignite to produce harmless puffs of flame for
a second or two. This is a normal part of the cooking process.
• NEVER LEAVE GRILL UNATTENDED DURING GRILL OPERATION.
Should excess grease cause sustained flame-up=
1. Turn on FANmanually.
2. Immediatelyturn grill heatcontrolswitchto OFF position.
3. Removemeatfrom grill,
IMPORTANT
• Do notuse aluminumfoil (r_sidethe grillarea.
• Do notusecharcoalorwoodchipsin thegrill area.
• Do notallow grill-rocksto becomeoverloadedwithgrease.Clean frequently,
• Do not covergratescompletelywith meat. Leaveair space betweeneach steak,etc.

Grilling Tips
With your Jenn-Air grill and accessories,literally any food you've considered "at
itsbest" when preparedoutdoorscan now be preparedindoorswith lessfuss and
greatflavor.
Manygrilling ideasare containedin Jenn-Air'sCookbook,Comp/ete Cooking With
Jenn-Air, Mode/No. A905. There are alsomany cookbookscontainingrecipesfor
outdoorgrillingwhich can be usedon a Jenn-Air.
The followingsuggestionsaregood rulestofollowand will increaseyour enjoyment
of the equipment.
• Be sureto follow directions on page 13for using the grill.
• SuggestedcookingtimesandcontrolsettJngsareapproximateduetovariations
in meatsand electrical voltage. Experience will quickly indicate cooking times
aswell as which settingswork best.
• Use the Energy-Savergrill element for grilling small amounts of food on half
of the grill or for keeping cooked foods warm or preparing foods requiring
different heat control settings. (Note S136 Owners: The Energy-Saver grill
element can be purchased asan optional accessory. Seep. 45.)
• For best results, buy top grade meat. Meat that is at least 3/4-inch will grill
better than thinner cuts.
• Score fat on edges of steak, but do not cut into meat, to prevent curling
while cooking.
• For the attractive "branded" look on steaks, be sure grill is preheated. Allow
one side of meat to cook to desired doneness, or until juices appear on the
top surface, before turning. It takes fewer minutes to cook the second side.
Turn steaksand hamburgersjust once. Manipulating food causesloss of juices.
• When basting meats or applying sauces to foods, remember that excessive
amounts wind up inside your grill and do not improve the food flavor. Apply
saucesduring the last 15to 20 minutes of cooking time unlessrecipe specifies
otherwise. Sugar-basedsauces,excessivelyused, will caramelizeon the grill-
rocks and will create a cleaning chore.
• There are many meat marinadeswhich will help tenderize lessexpensivecuts
of meat for cooking on the grill.
• Certain foods, such as poultry and non-oily fish, may need some extra fat.
Brush with oil or melted butter occasionally while grilling.
• Use tongs with long handles or spatulasfor turning meats. Do not use forks
as these pierce the meat, allowing juices to be lost.
• To help retainmeatjuices, saltafterturning meator after cookingiscompleted.
• Should grilled foods be preparedand readybeforeyou'rereadyto serve,turn
heatcontrolto a low settingand covermeatwith a singlesheetof foil. Food
will continueto cook.

Cleaning the Grill
Grates: These are made from cast aluminum. Model $161: the grates have been
anodized. This coating will fade with use. Models $136 and $156: the grates have a nonstick
finish.
• The grates should be cleaned after each use.They can be cleaned with detergent and
a plastic scrubber, such as Tufty, or washed in the dishwasher if burned on residue
is first removed. For heavy soil, grates can be soaked in hot, soapy water to which
a cleanser, such ashouseholdammonia, hasbeenadded.
• Do not use metal brushes or abrasive scouring pads or other scrubbers intended to
clean outdoor charcoal grills. These will remove the finish aswell as scratch the grates.
Do not clean in the self-cleaning oven or useovencleaners on the grates.
GrEBoROeI_J: These are madefrom cast-iron which havebeencoated with porcelain enamel.
• The grill-rocks should be cleaned frequently or after any excessivebuild-up of grease.
To clean light soil, use detergent and a plastic scrubber, such as Tufty, or wash in
the dishwasher if burned on residue is first removed. For heavysoil, soak in hot, soapy
water to which a cleanser, such as household ammonia, has been added. Stubborn
spots on grill-rocks, such as burned on residue from sauces, can be scrubbed with
a stiff bristle brush.
• An ovencleaner,such as Easy-Off,can beused for burned onsoil. Follow manufacturer's
directions; spray on cleaner and let soak overnight. Do not clean grill-rocks in the
self-cleaning oven.
Grill Element: Follow instructions on page 12 for removing the grill element. The grill
element should never be immersed in water. Most soil will burn off during use. The terminal
block may be cleaned with soapy S.O.S. pad. Dry thoroughly before reinserting in the range.
Peals, in Grill Basin: This area, located under the grill-rocks, should be cleaned after
each heavy use of the grill.
• To remove light soil, clean area with soapy water or spray with cleansers such as409
or Grease Relief. For easier clean-up, lay paper towels in grill basin, spray with a
household cleanser,and soak for at least a half-hour or longer.
• To remove moderate soil, scrub with Comet, Ben Ami, a soft scrub cleanser or plastic
scrubber.
• To remove stubborn soil,spray with anoven cleaner suchasEasy-Oft; let soak overnight,
wipe clean, rinse and dry.

whichwill be visiblethrough the glassdoor.
Stainless Steel Areas
The top of the range (the trim area aroundthe grill basin areas) is made of stainless
steel.
• To clean light soil, wipe with soapy cloth or nonabrasivecleanser, such as Soft
Scrub. Rinse, buffwith soft cloth; polish with glasscleaner if necessary.
• To clean moderate soil or discoloration of the surface (excessiveheat will cause
a golden discoloration), clean with Zud, Sar Keepers Friend, or Luneta (Jenn-
Air Model A912, Part No. 712191).With a sponge or cloth, rub cleanser with the
grain to avoidstreakingthe surface.Rinsewelt,buff dry;polishwith aglasscleaner
if necessaryto removecleanserresidueand smudgemarks.
• Heavy soil, such as burned on food soil, can be removedby first cleaning as
per the instructionsfor moderate soil. Stubborn stains can be removed with a
damp Scotch-Brite scour-pad; rub evenly with the grain to avoid streakingthe
surface. Rinsewell, buff with dry cloth;polish with glass cleaner if necessary
to removecleanserresidueandsmudgemarks.Scotch-Briteisalsousefulin buffing

• Stubbornfood stainsmay alsobe removedbysprayingwithEasy-Offovencleaner.
Allow to set overnight,then rinse. If stains remain, clean with recommended
cleanserssuch asZud,Luneta(Jenn-AirModelA912,Part No. 712191),or Scotch-
Britescour-pad.CAUTION: When using Easy-Off,avoidsprayingareasother than
the stainless steel such as the air grille, control knob area, and areas around
cooktop. Immediately wipe up any spray from these areas with a damp cloth.
Readthe manufacturer's precautionson using oven cleaners.The caustic materials
in these products will discolor materials such as aluminum, brushed or chrome
plate.Hint: Easy-Off can be used to cleanthe porcelain grill basin area.
• Hint: for ease in cleaning the stainless steel cooktop cartridge when it is
moderately or heavily soiled, remove cartridge from range top and work near
the sink area. Do not immerse the cartridge or heating elements in water. Be
very careful not to get cleanser or water into the wiring in the receptacle area.

• To conserveenergy, avoidfrequentor prolongeddooropenings.At the
end of cooking,turn oven off beforeremovingfood.
• Alwaystestfor doneness(fingertip,toothpick,sidespulling away from

• Use goodqualitybaking pansand the sizerecommendedin the recipe.
• Dull, dark,enameledor glasspanswill generally producea brown,crisp
crust.Shinymetalpansproducea light,goldencrust.
• Frozenpiesin shinyaluminumpansshouldbe baked on a cookie sheet

Convection Baking Recommendations
(Models $156 and S161 Only)
• As a general rule, when usingrecipesor preparedmixesdevelopedfor a radiant

• For better browning,large panssuch as cookiesheets,or rectangularbaking
pans should be placed/engthwise, front to back, on the rack. This centers
the food in front of the convectionfan for better air circulation which gives
betteroverallbrowning.
• Cookie sheetsshould be without sides and made of shiny aluminum. The

Convection Cooking on Multiple Rack
(Models S156 and S161 Only)
For best results, bake foods on one rack at a time as described in this manual.
However,very good resultscan be obtained when baking quantitiesof foods on
multipleracks.Quantitycooking providesboth timeand energysavings.
The convectionoven is suggestedfor most multiplerack cooking,especiallythree
rack cooking, becausethe circulating heated air resultsin more even browning
than radiant.For two rackcooking,the radiantbakeovenprovidesvery goodbaking
resultsespeciallywhen panscan bestaggered,as withlayercakesand freshpies.
Many foods can be prepared on three racks at the same time. These are just a
few examples:cookies,cupcakes,rolls,biscuits,muffins,pies,frozen convenience
foods,pizzas,appetizers,and snackfoods.
To obtainthe bestresultsin multiplerackcooking,followthesesuggestions:
• Usetemperatureandtimesin thismanualasa guidefor bestresults.
• Fortworackbaking,rackpositions#2oand4are bestfor mostbakedproducts
but positions#2 and 4 alsoprovideacceptableresults.
• For three rack baking use positions#1, 3o and 4. One exception is pizza.
(See page27)
• Since foods on positions#1 and 4 will usually be done before foods on
position#3o, additionalcooking time will be neededfor browningfoods on
themiddlerack.Anadditionalminuteisneededforthinfoodssuchascookies.
For foods such as biscuits, rolls, or muffins, allow 1 to 2 more minutes.
Frozenpies and pizzas, which should be baked on a cookie sheet, need

Roasting
General Roasting Reco_,,mendatlons
s Preheating is not necessary.
• For open pan roasting,place meat or poultryon the slotted portionof the
two-piecepan includedwith the oven. Do not add water to the pan. Use
open pan roastingfor tender cuts of meat. Less tender cuts of meat need
to be cookedby moistheat in a coveredpan.
• For best results,a meat thermometeris the most accurateguideto degree
of doneness.The tip of the thermometershould be located in the thickest
part of a roast,nottouchingfat, bone,or gristle.Forturkeysand largepoultry
products,insertthe tip of the thermometerinto the thickestpartof the inner
thigh.
• Placeroastfat sideup to allowself bastingof meatduringroasting.
• Since meatscontinue to cook after being removedfrom the oven, remove
roast from oven when it reachesan internaltemperatureabout 5 degrees
belowthe temperaturedesired.
• For lesslossof juicesand easiercarving,allowabout 15 minutes"standing
time"after removingmeatfrom oven.
a For best resultsin roastingpoultry, thaw completely. Due to the etructure
of poultry, partiallythawedpoultry will cook unevenly,
Radiant Bake Roas¢tng Reeommendattons
• If preferred, tender cuts of meat can be roasted in the radiant bake oven
by followingthe generalrecommendationsgivenabove.However,meatswill
roastmorequickly inthe convectionoven.
• Radiantbake is bestfor lesstendercuts of meatthat requirea longer,moist
heat methodof cooking. Followyour recipe for times and temperaturesfor

• Meats cooked in cooking bags, dutch ovens,or covered roastingpans are
bestcookedin the radiantbakeoven.
• Use meat roastingcharts in standardcookbooks for recommended times

Convection Roasting Recom-endations
(Models S156 and $161 Only)
• Tender cuts of meat and poultry can be roasted to a rich golden brown
inthe convectionoven,Followgeneralrecommendationsfor roasting.
• Referto convectionmeatroastingchart for recommendedcookingtempera-
ture and time. The chart can serve as a guide to help plan meal serving
time.
• Minutesper poundwill vary accordingto the size,shape,quality, and initial
temperatureof meat,as well as the electricalvoltage in your area. Times
arebasedon refrigeratorcold meat.
• A large cut of meat will usually requirefewer minutes per pound to roast
thana smallercutof meat.
• Do not usea roastingpan with high sides;usepan providedwith oven.
• Do not cover meat.Allow the circulating hot air to surround the meat and
seal in the juices.
• Since the breastmeaton a large turkey cooks more quicklythan the thigh
area,placea"foil cap" overthebreastareaafterdesiredbrownnessisreached
to preventoverbrowning.(Seeabovephoto.)
• A stuffedturkey will require an extra 30 to 60 minutesdepending on size.
Stuffingshouldreachan internaltemperatureof 165°F.
Convection Roasting: Frozen to Finish
Meats (except poultry) may be roastedfrozen to finish. Follow these guidelines
forthe mostsatisfactoryresults.
• Use temperaturesfor roasting fresh meatsas recommendedby most cook-
books.Generally, most meatsare roastedat 325°F. For best resultsdo not
usetemperaturesbelow300°F.
• Usetimesfor roastingfresh meatsgiveninyour favoritecookbooksasapprox-

The broil elementprovidesflexibilityfor'broilingfoods.
We recommend you use the grill accessoryfor mostof your broiling. There are
sometypes of foods that do require use of the oven broilelement.These include
foods such as stuffed lobsters, meringuepies, or other foods which require top
browning.
To Broil
1. Place oven rack on the rack position
suggestedin the chart. Distancefrom
broiling element depends on foods
being prepared. Rack position #40
(offset rack in position#4) is usually
recommendedunlessotherwisestated.
2. Turn SELECTOR knob to BROIL

3. Turn TEMPERATURE knobto 550°F.
4. Place food on roastingpan provided
withoven.After topbroilelementisred
place food in oven. Preheatingtakes
a few minutes,or until element glows
a brightcherryred.
5. Leave oven door open at broi/ stop
position when broiling.
Broiling Tips
• Tender cuts of meat or marinated meats are best for broiling. This includes
riband loin cutsof steak,ground beef,ham steaks,lamb chops,poultry pieces
or fish. For best results,steaksshould be at least 1" thick. Thinner steaks
shouldbe pan-broiled.
• Donotcoverbroilergridwithfoilsincethispreventsfat drippingsfromdraining

• Before broiling, remove excessfat from meat and score edges of fat (do
not cut into meat)to preventmeatfromcurling. Salt aftercooking.
32
• To preventdry surfaceon fish or lean meats,brush melted butter on top.
• Foodsthat requireturningshouldbe turnedonly once during broiling.Turn

Oven Cleaning
How the Self-Cleaning Process Work
When the oven controls are set to CLEAN, the oven heats to temperaturesthat
are higher than those used for cooking. The high temperaturescause food soil
to burn off and substantiallydisappear.While this occurs,a device in the oven
vent helpsto consumenormalamounts of smoke. The oven is ventedthroughan
openingunderthe air grilleon the top of the range.
How to pare Oven Before Operating

More Information on the
Self-Cleaning Process
• A slight odor may bedetected,and if an ovenis heavilysoiled,some smoke
maybevisible.Somesmokeandodorduringthe cleaningprocessisa normal
occurrence.Since the oven vent is located under the air grille, vapors,
moisture,etc. may be seen coming from this area. If the odor is strongor
objectionable,turn on the ventilationsystemto exhaustodors outdoors.
• During the cleaning process, do not be alarmed if an occasional flame is
visible through the oven window. This is caused by excessive food soil that
wasnot removed before the oven was set to clean.
• SINCE THE DOOR AND WINDOW OF THE OVEN AND OVENVENT WILL
GET WARM DURING THE SELF-CLEANING PROCESS,AVOID CONTACT,
• Some types of soil may disintegrate but leave a light film or heavier deposit
of ash. The amount of ash depends on the amount of soil which was in
the oven. After oven has cooled, this ash may be removed with a damp
sponge.If other dark depositsremain after wiping with a sponge,the time
set for the lengthof cleaningwas not enough. Increasethe cleaningtime
for future cleaningsor clean more frequently. The normal cleaningtime is
21/2hours.A maximumof 4 hoursmaybe selectedif necessary.
• If racks have been left in oven during the cleaning process, they should
betreatedas follows.After the cleaningprocessis completedand the oven
has cooled, buff the undersideof rack edges with Scotch-Brite scour-pad
Or rublightly the undersideof rack edgeswith a coating of vegetableoil.
Usea light applicationof oil so it does not soil the oven. As a suggestion,
usefingertipsto apply oil. This will make the cleanedracks slide more easily.
• To removeoccasionalspillovers betweencleanings, useasoap-filled scouring
pad or mild cleanser; rinse well.
• It is better to clean the oven regularly rather than wait until there is a heavy
build-up of soil in the oven.
• During the cleaning process, the kitchen should be well ventilated to help
eliminate normal odors associatedwith cleaning.
• Any attempt to force the self-clean DOOR LOCK LEVER to lock or unlock
without electric power applied to the door or with the TEMPERATUREknob
In any position other than CLEAN may result in damage to the door locking
mechanism.
