About Your
Jenn-Air
Congratulations on your choice of a Jenn-Air Grill-Range.The indoor
grilling of meats,fish or fowl isoneofthe mostattractiveandsucculent
methodsof preparingthesefoods.., a uniqueflexibilitymadepossible
by Jenn-Air's patentedintegral 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 heatedair within the oven.As both bakeand broil heating
elementscycleon and offwith the thermostat,afan keepsthe heated
air circulating around the food.
The constantly recireulating heatedair in the convection oven strips
away the layerof cooler air that surrounds food. Consequently,many
foods cook more quickly. Distributed heat makes multiple rack
cooking possible.Convection roastedmeatsretaintheir natural flavor
and juiciness with lessshrinkage than radiant bakeroasting.
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.
Theradiantbakeovenalsogivesyou theflexibility 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, pleasetake 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. Byfollowing the
instructions carefully, you will be able to fully enjoy and properly
maintain your grill-range and achieve excellent resultswith the food
you prepare.
Shouldyou haveanyquestions about using your Jenn-Air grill-range
or need a use and care manual for your cooktop cartridge, write

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 grillbasin 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 grillgrates on the topof the rangetop.
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 receptaclesincethis coulddamage the terminal.
3. A storage tray, Model A350, is availablefor 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 sincethe 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 createcleaning 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. Turnon FANmanually.
2. Immediatelyturn grillheatcontrolswitchto OFF position.
3. Removemeatfromgrill,
IMPORTANT
• Do notusealuminumfoil (r_sidethe grillarea.

Grilling Tips
With your Jenn-Air grill and accessories,literally any food you've considered "at
itsbest"when preparedoutdoorscan now be preparedindoorswith lessfussand
greatflavor.
Manygrillingideasarecontainedin Jenn-Air'sCookbook,Comp/ete Cooking With
Jenn-Air, Mode/No. A905.There are alsomanycookbookscontainingrecipesfor
outdoorgrillingwhichcanbeusedon a Jenn-Air.
The followingsuggestionsaregood rulestofollowandwillincreaseyourenjoyment
of theequipment.
• Be sureto follow directionsonpage 13for usingthe grill.
• SuggestedcookingtimesandcontrolsettJngsareapproximateduetovariations
in meatsand electrical voltage. Experiencewill quickly indicate cooking times
aswell as which settingswork best.
• Usethe Energy-Savergrill element for grilling small amountsof 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
elementcan be purchased asan optional accessory.Seep. 45.)
• For best results, buy top grade meat. Meat that is at least3/4-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 hamburgersjustonce. Manipulating food causeslossofjuices.
• 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 last15to 20 minutesof 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.
• Usetongs with long handles or spatulasfor turning meats.Do not use forks
asthesepierce the meat,allowing juicesto be lost.
• To helpretainmeatjuices,saltafterturning meatorafter cookingiscompleted.
• Shouldgrilledfoodsbepreparedand readybeforeyou'rereadyto serve,turn
heatcontrolto a low settingand covermeatwith a singlesheetof foil. Food
will continuetocook.

Cleaning the Grill
Grates: These are madefrom 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
acleanser,suchashouseholdammonia,hasbeenadded.
• Do not use metal brushes or abrasive scouring pads or other scrubbers intended to
clean outdoor charcoal grills. Thesewill remove the finish aswell as scratch the grates.
Do not clean in the self-cleaning oven or useovencleaners onthe grates.
GrEBoROeI_J: These aremadefrom 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 asEasy-Off,can beusedfor 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 cleanedwith 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
eachheavyuse 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,andsoakfor at least a half-hour or longer.
• To remove moderate soil, scrub with Comet, Ben Ami, a soft scrub cleanser or plastic
scrubber.
• To removestubborn soil,spray with anoven cleaner suchasEasy-Oft;let soak overnight,
wipe clean, rinse and dry.

• Minutesper poundwill varyaccordingto the size,shape,quality, and initial
temperatureof meat,as well as the electricalvoltage in your area. Times
arebasedon refrigeratorcoldmeat.
• A large cut of meat will usually requirefewer minutes per pound to roast
thana smallercutof meat.
• Do not usea roastingpan withhigh sides;usepan providedwith oven.
• Do not cover meat.Allow the circulatinghot air to surroundthe meat and
seal in the juices.
• Since the breastmeaton a large turkey cooksmore quicklythan the thigh

We recommend you use the grill accessoryfor mostof your broiling.There are
sometypes of foods that do requireuseof the oven broilelement.These include
foods such as stuffed lobsters,meringuepies, or other foodswhich requiretop
browning.
To Broil
1. Place oven rack on the rack position

5. Leave oven door open at broi/ stop
position whenbroiling.
Broiling Tips
• Tender cuts of meat or marinatedmeats are best for broiling. This includes
ribandloincutsof steak,ground beef,ham steaks,lambchops,poultry pieces
or fish. For bestresults,steaksshould be at least 1" thick. Thinner steaks

More Information on the
Self-Cleaning Process
• A slight odor may bedetected,and if an ovenis heavilysoiled,somesmoke
maybevisible.Somesmokeandodorduringthecleaningprocessisa normal
occurrence.Since the oven vent is located under the air grille, vapors,
moisture,etc. may be seencoming from this area. If the odor is strongor
objectionable,turn on theventilationsystemto 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 removedbefore the ovenwassetto clean.
• SINCETHE DOOR AND WINDOW OF THE OVEN AND OVENVENT WILL
GETWARMDURING THE SELF-CLEANING PROCESS,AVOID CONTACT,
• Some types of soil may disintegrate but leavea 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 otherdark depositsremainafter wiping with a sponge,the time
set for the lengthof cleaningwas not enough. Increasethe cleaningtime
