Congratulations on your choice of a Jenn-Air grill-range. The indoor grilling
of meats, fish or fowl is one of the most attractive and succulent methods
of preparing these foods, .. a unique flexibility made possible by Jenn-Air's
patented integral ventilation system.
Your Jenn-Air self-cleaning oven combinesthe best of four cooking methods,
conventional baking or roasting, convection baking or roasting and broiling.
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, a fan keeps the heated air circulating around the
food. The constantly recirculating heated air in the convection oven strips
away the layer of cooler air that surrounds the food, Consequently, many
foods cook more quickly. Evenly distributed heat makes multiple rack
cooking possible. Convection roasted meats retain their natural flavor and
juiciness with less shrinkage than conventional roasting.
In addition to the many exclusive benefits of convection cooking, your Jenn-
Air oven is also a fine full featured conventional bake and broil oven. You can
cook your "old favorite" recipes as you have in the past. The conventional
bake oven also gives you the flexibility of preparing various foods when
convection cooking may not be as beneficial, as when cooking foods in
covered casseroles or clay pots. The broil element is convenient for top
browning and oven broiling of foods.
Before you begin cooking with your new range, please take a few minutes to
read and become familiar with the instructions in this book. On the following
pages you will find a wealth of information regarding all aspects of using your
new range. By following the instructions carefully, you will be able to fully
enjoy and properly maintain your range and achieve excellent results with the
food you prepare.
Should you have any questions about using your Jenn-Air range, write to us.
Be sure to provide the model number.

Read before operating your range
All appliances - regardless of the manufacturer - have the potential
through improper or careless use to create safety problems, Therefore
the following safety precautions should be observed:
1. Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a
qualified technician.
2. Never use your appliance for warming or heating the room, This
warning is based on safety considerations.
3. Children should not be left alone or unattended in area where
appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand
on any part of the appliance.
4. Wear proper apparel. Loose-fitting or hanging garments should
never be worn while using the appliance.
5. Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically
recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be
referred to an authorized Jenn-Air Service Contractor,
6. Do not store combustible materials, gasoline or other flammable
vapors and liquid near cooktop. This also applies to aerosol sprays
and aerosol spray cans.
7. Do not use water on grease fires. Smother fire or flame or use dry
chemical or foam-type extinguisher,
8, Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces
may result in burns from steam. Do not use a towel or other bulky
cloth.
9. Select cookware large enough to properly contain food and avoid
boilovers or spillovers. This will save on cleaning and prevent
hazardous accumulations of food, since heavy splattering or
spillovers left on a cooktop can ignite. Pan size is especially
important in deep fat frying.
10. Never leave rangetop unattended at Hi heat settings. Boilover
causes smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite.
11. TYPE OF COOKWARE - Avoid pans that are unstable and easily
tipped. _n choosing pans, look for easily-grasped handles that will
stay cool. Pans that are too heavy when filled with food can also
be a hazard. If pan handles twist and cannot be tightened, discard
the pan.
12. HANDLES- Alwaysturn pan handlesto the side or back of the
rangetop - not out into the room where they are easity hit.

13. CAUTION - Do not store items of interest to children in cabinets
above range - children climbing on the range to reach items could
be seriously injured.
14, Do nottouch grill and surface burner areas, orperimetertrim around
rangetop or interior surfaces of oven. During and after use, these
areas may be hot enough to cause burns. Avoid contact with these
areas by clothing or other flammable materials until they have had
sufficient time to cool. Other surfaces may become hot enough to
cause burns - among these surfaces are the upper door frame and
door, oven vent opening and surfaces near the opening, and the top
edge of the control panel.
15. Do not heat unopened food containers. Buildup of pressure may
cause container to burst and result in injury.
16. Keep all controls "Off" when unit is not in use.
17. Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed. The oven is vented under the
air grille.
18. GREASE - Grease is flammable and should be handled carefully.
Never leave any cooking operation unattended, Let fat cool before
attempting to handle it. Do not allow grease to collect around the
rangetop or in the vents. Wipe up spillovers immediately.
19, If the range is insta}led near a window, proper precautions should
be taken to prevent curtains from blowing over burners creating a
FIRE HAZARD.
20, Do not use aluminum foil to line aeration tray or burner basin.
Restriction of normal air flow may result in unsafe operation.
21. Do not use cookware on the grill section of this appliance.
22, Before servicing your appliance, disconnect power to the range at
the main fuse or circuit breaker panel and at the electrical receptacle.
23. Always allow hot pans to cool in a safe place out of the reach of small
children.
24. A faint gas odor may indicate a gas leak. If a gas odor is detected,
shut off the gas supply to the range. Call your installer or !ocal gas
company to have the possible leak checked. Never use a match
or other flame to locate a gas leak.
25. Clean only parts listed in this manual and use procedures
recommended.
26. Flame size should be adjusted so it does not extend beyond the
edge of the cookware, this instruction is based on safety
consideration.
27. This appliance has been tested for safe performance using
conventional cookware, go not use any devices or accessories
that are not specifically recommended in this manual. Do not use
eyelid covers for the surface burners, stovetop grills or add-on
convection systems. The use of devices or accessories that are not
expressly recommended in this manual can create serious safety
hazards result in performance problems and reduce the life of the
components of the appliance.
28. Glazed cookware - only certain types of glass, glass-ceramic,
ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed cookpots are suitable for
rangetop surface without breaking due to the sudden change in
temperature. Use only such cookware as you know has been
approved for this purpose.
29. Avoid placing the range in a main "traffic path" or in an isolated
location with no counter space nearby. Visualize the oven in use
before selecting a location. Remember that open oven doors may
block a passageway and create a hazard.
30. Use care when opening oven door. Let hot air or steam escape
before removing or replacing food.
31. Always place oven racks in desired location while oven is cool. If
rack must be moved while oven is hot, do net let potholder contact
hot heating element in oven.
32. Do not clean door gasket. The door gasket is essential for a good
seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage, or move the gasket.
33. Do not use oven cleaners. No commercial oven cleaner or oven
liner protective coating of any kind should be used in or around any
part of the oven.
34. CAUTION: BEFORE SELF-CLEANING THE OVEN, REMOVE
FOOD, BROILER PAN AND OTHER UTENSILS.
35. Listen for fan. A fan noise should be heard during the broil and
cleaning cycles. If not, call a serviceman before self-cleaning
again.
36. Always remove soiled broiler pan from the broiler compartment
after cooking for grease left in the pan may become hot enough
to ignite.
38.
39.
Do not allow aluminum foil to contact heating element.

Jenn-Air's ventilation system is designed to capture both cooking fumes and smoke
while grilling, ff the system does not, these are some ducting installation situations to
check:
• 6" diameter round or 31/4`'x 10" rectangular ducting should be used for duct lengths
10'-60'. Note: 5" diameter round ducting must be used if the duct length is 10'
or less.
• No more than three 90 ° elbows should be used. Distance between elbows should
be at least 18".
• Recommended Jenn-Air wall cap should be used. Make sure damper moves freely
when ventilation system is operating.
• There should be a minimum clearance of 6" for cooktop installed near a side walt.
If there is not an obvious improper installation, there may be a concealed problem such
as a pinched joint, obstruction in the pipe, etc. _._ta!!atign is the re_on_jbitit_ of the
installer and questions should be addressed first by the installer. The installer should
very carefully check the ducting installation instructions.

• The downdraft ventilation system features a two speed fan.
The fan positions are: Hi, Lo, and Off. To turn on the
ventilation system, push the Fan Switch to the upper position
for Hi and the lower position for Lo.
The built-in ventilation system removes cooking vapors, odors and smoke from foods prepared
on the cooktop, grill and grill accessories. Regular use of this system will insure a more
comfortable and less humid kitchen which is free of heavy cooking odors and fumes that normally
create a frequent need for cleaning and redecorating. _
-iii ii_Ifi !1
• To turn the ventilation system Off, return the switch to the middle position.
• The ventilation system will operate automatically on Hi speed when the grill burner
is in use. During grilling, the fan speed is automatically set for the Hi setting AND
cannot be changed to Lo speed,
• Use the Hi fan speed for capturing steam. Use Lo fan speed for capturing smoke
when pan frying
• The fan can be used to remove strong odors from the kitchen as when chopping
onions near the fan.
• Besides using the ventilation system to remove cooking vapors and fumes, it can
be used to cool baked pies or cakes. To cool an item, set it on the air gritle and turn
on the fan. The air being pulled over the item will quickly cool it, Be careful not to
cover the oven vent or the entire air grille.
Air Grille
The air grille lifts off easily. Wipe clean or wash in sink with mild household detergents.
it may be cleaned in the dishwasher, Note: The oven vent is _ocated under the air grille.
When using or cleaning the oven, hot and moist air may be noticed in this area. Be
careful not to spill anything into this vent.
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 liquid dishwashing 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 range, the top of the fitter should
rest against the left side of the vent opening and the bottom of the filter should rest
against the right side of the ventilation chamber at the bottom.
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. The ventilation chamber may be cleaned with
paper towel, damp cloth, or sponge and mild household detergent or cleanser.

Toachieveoptimumcookingperformanceusecookpotswithflatbottomsandtightfitting
covers.Flame size should be adjusted so it does not extend beyond the edge of the
cookware. This instruction is based on safety considerations. Adjusting the size of the
flame to fit the size of the cookware also helps to save fuel.
Important: Leave a minimum of ! ,/2"between side of pan and surrounding surfaces, such
as countertop backsplash or side walls, to allow heat to escape to avoid possible damage
to these areas.
• Aluminum cookware heats evenly and quickly. A slightly larger flame size can be
used. The flame can be adjusted so it comes to the edge of the cookware. However,
the flame should NEVER be adjusted so that it extends beyond the bottom of the
cookware.
• Stainless steel cookware with copper or aluminum cores heat evenly and fairly
quickly. The flame size should be adjusted to extend only halfway between center
and edge of the cookware bottom for best results.
• Cast iron ceokware heats slowly,
• Check manufacturer's recommendations before using porcelain on steel, porcelain
on cast iron, glass, glass-ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed cookpots.
If the cookware is covered, less fue! will be needed. Therefore, a lower flame size can
be used.
Note: Food will not cook any faster when more than the amount of heat needed to
maintain a gentle boil is used.

The grill consists of two black grill grates and a grill burner. Only install the grill on the
left side of your range.
L
To Install Grill Module
1. Before installing grill components, be certain control knobs are in the Off position.
2. Position the grill burner with mixer tube openings toward the orifices. Slide the
burner towards the orifices until the igniter is in between front and rear grill sections.
Lower into place until side openings are resting on the burner support pins.
3. Place the grill grates on the top of the rangetop.
NOTE: Before using the grill for the first time, heat the E-yen Heat TM grill burner to
remove the protective shipping coating. Heat the grill on Hi for 10 minutes and
use the vent system to remove any additional smoke during cooling.
To Remove Grill Module
1. Be sure control knobs are in the Off position. Remove grill components once they
are cool.
2. Remove grill grates.
3. Lift the grill burner up off the support pins about 2 inches, Slide the burner away
from the orifices.
17
• Before the first use, wash your new grill grates in hot soapy water, rinse and dry.
Then "season" the surface by wiping on a thin coating of cooking oil. Remove
excess oil by wiping again with another paper towel This procedure should be
repeated when: a) cleaning in the dishwasher since the detergent may remove
seasoning, or b) anytime a sugar-based marinade (for example, barbecue sauce)
is going to be used.
• Use nonmetallic spatulas or utensils to prevent damaging the Excalibur ® nonstick
grill grate finish.
• Preheat the grill on Hi for 5 minutes. Preheating improves the flavor and
appearance of meats and quickly sears the meat to help retain the juices.
• Excessive amounts of fat should be trimmed from meats. Some fat is necessary
to produce the smoke needed for that smoked, "outdoor" flavor. However,
excessive fat can create cleaning and flare-up problems.
• Allowing excessive amounts of grease or drippings to constantly flame voids the
warranty on the grill grates. Excessive flare-ups indicate that either the gdll 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 flare-up
1. Turn on FAN manually.
2. Immediately turn grill control knobs to Off position.
3. Remove meat from grill.
IMPORTANT
• Do not use aluminum foil inside the grill area.
• Do net use charcoal or wood chips in the grill area.
• Do not allow burner basin to become overloaded with grease. Clean after each
use.
• Do not cover grates completely with meat. Leave air space between each steak,
etc. to a!low proper ventilation as well as prevent flare-ups.

WithyourJenn-Airgrillliteraltyanyfoodyou'veconsidered"at its best" when prepared
outdoors can now be prepared indoors with less fuss and great flavor.
The following suggestions are good rules to fotlow and wil! increase your enjoyment of
the equipment.
• Be sure to follow directions on page 18 for using the grill
• Suggested cooking times and control settings are approximate due to variations
in meats. Experience will quickly indicate cooking times as well as which settings
work best.
• For best results, buy top grade meat. Meat that is at least 3/4inch 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. Turn steaks and hamburgers just once. Manipulating food
causes loss 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
sauces during the last !5 to 20 minutes of cooking time untess recipe specifies
otherwise. Plus, any time a sugar-based marinade, (for example, barbecue
sauce) is going to be used, the grates should be "seasoned" prior to preheating.
(See p. 18.)
• There are many meat marinades which will help tenderize tess expensive cuts 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 spatulas for turning meats. Do not use forks as
these pierce the meat, allowing juices to be lost.
• To help retain meat juices, salt after turning meat or after cooking is completed.
Be sure the grilt is cool and controls are Off.
Grill Grates
These are made from cast a_uminum and are coated with the Exca_ibur_ nonstick finish.
• After the grill grates have cooled, wipe off grates with a paper towel Wash cool
grates (DO NOT IMMERSE HOT GRILL GRATES IN WATER) with soap or
detergent in hot water in the sink or wash them in the dishwasher. Be sure to remove
all food residue before cooking on the grill grates again.
• Remove stubborn spots with a plastic mesh puff or pad. For best results, use only
those cleaning products which state they are recommended for use when cleaning
nonstiek surfaces.
• If grates are washed in the dishwasher, season with oil prior to grilling. (See p. 18.)
• Do not use metal brushes or abrasive scouring pads or other scrubbers intended
to clean outdoor charcoal grills. These will remove the finish as well as scratch the
grates. Do not clean in the self-cleaning oven or use oven cleaners on the grates.
2O
Grill Burner
Follow instructions on page 17 for removing the grill burner. The grill burner should be
cleaned after each use. It can be cleaned with a soapy S.O.S. pad or in the dishwasher.
Rinse and drythoroughly before using again. For heavy soil, bumer should be cleaned
first with a soapy S.O,S. pad, rinsed and dried. Then it can be cleaned in a self-clean
oven for 2 hours.
NOTE: Check to be sure a!l burner ports are open. To open clogged ports, insert a 1
toothpick directly into each port.
Porcelain Burner Basin
This area located under the grill and surface burners. Clean after each use of the grill.
• To remove light soil, clean with soapy water or with cleansers such as Fantastik or 409.
For easier cleanup: a) spray with a household cleanser; b) cover with paper towels;
c) add smatl amount of water to keep the paper towels moist; d) cover and wait 15
minutes; and e) wipe clean.
• To remove moderate soit, scrub with Comet, Bon Ami, a soft scrub cleanser or plastic
scrubber.
• To remove stubborn soil, spray with an oven cleaner, let soak overnight, wipe clean,
rinse and dry.
Note: C(ean the grease drain after each use. To clean: Pour about V3 cup of very hot tap
water mixed with 1 teaspoon dish detergent down the drain. (n the event the drain is clogged,
due to large food particles being trapped, use the nylon string that was packaged with your
range. To use the nylon string, simply insert one end into the drain opening in the basin pan,
Feed the nylon string down until it is visible under the range. Now pult up on the end extending
out from the top while holding a paper towel around the string, to clean the string as it is being
pulled. This should free any trapped particles of food. Pour another _/3cup of very hot water
mixed with dish detergent to assure the drain is opened and clear.
Grease Container
The container is located on the left side behind the bottom access panel, underneath the
range. (See page 47 for opening access panel.) It collects grease and other liquids created
while grilling or using some o_ the accessories_ Check each time after gfitling and empty when
grease ts noticeable. To remove, simply grasp the handle, and pull from the bracket holding
the container.
• Checkthe container periodically to prevent grease from spilling
over. If this should happen, the grease wi}i flow over the
container and onto the floor. The container and screw-on
handle can be washed in hot, soapy wateror in the dishwasher.
The container can be replaced with any heat tempered jar,
such as a canning jar, which has a standard screw neck.

IMPORTANT
• To recall time function programmed: Touch the appropriate time pad.
• To cancel timed function only: Hold Cook Time Pad for four seconds. This will
only cancel cook time and stop time, not programmed bake mode.
• If more than fifteen seconds elapse between touching a function pad and touching
an Arrow Pad, the oven is not set and Display will return to previous Display.
29
• When cooking foods for the first time in your new oven, use recipe cooking times
and temperatures as a guide.
• Use tested recipes from reliable sources.
• Preheat the oven only when necessary. For baked foods that rise and for richer
browning, a preheated oven is better. Casseroles can be started in a cold oven.
Preheating takes from 7 to 11 minutes; place food in oven after preheat beep.
• Arrange oven racks before turning on oven. Follow suggested rack positions on
pages 25 and 31.
• Allow about 1 to 11/2inches of space between the oven side walls and pans to allow
proper air circulation.
• When baking foods in more than one pan, place them on opposite corners of the
rack. Stagger pans when baking on two racks so that one pan does not shield
another unless shielding is intended. (See above left.)
• To conserve energy, avoid frequent or prolonged door openings. At the end of
cooking, turn oven off before removing food.
• Always test for doneness (fingertip, toothpick, sides pulling away from pan). Do not
rely on time or brownness as only indicators.
• Use good quality baking pans and the size recommended in the recipe,
• Dull, dark, enameled or glass pans will generally produce a brown, crisp crust. Shiny
metal pans produce a light, golden crust.
• Frozen pies in shiny aluminum pans should be baked on a cookie sheet on rack 2
or be removed to a dull or glass pan.
• tfedgeofpiecrustbrownstooquickly, fold a strip of foil around rim of crust, covering
edge. (See above right.)
3O
For Conventional Bake use the Bake Pad,
8X4k_ii _]
* An "o" after a rack number implies that the offset rack should be used.
** The times given are based on specific brands of mixes or recipes tested. Actual
times witl depend on the ones you bake.
*** The Convect Bake temperature is 25°F lower than recommended on package mix
or recipe.
31
• Use convection baking for breads, cakes, cookies and pies.
• As a general rule, when using recipes or prepared mixes developed for a
conventional bake even, set the oven temperature 25°F lower than the recipe
recommended temperature. Times will be similar to or a few minutes less than
recipe recommended times. The chart on page 31 comparestimes and temperatures
of many baked foods. Use this as a reference.
• For better browning, place cookie sheets and baking pans lengthwise, side to side
on the rack.
• Cookie sheets should be without sides and made of shiny aluminum. The best size
to use for cookie sheets is 16" x 12" or smaller.
32
Three-Rack Convection Baking
Oven Mea!
For best results, bake foods on one rack at a time as described in this manual. However,
very good results can be obtained when baking quantities of foods on multiple racks.
Quantity cooking provides both time and energy savings.
Convect Bake is suggested for most multiple rack cooking, especially three rack
cooking, because the circulating heated air results in more even browning. For two rack
cooking, the conventional bake oven provides very good baking results especially when
pans can be staggered, such as with layer cakes and fresh pie&
Many foods can be prepared on three racks at the same time. These are just a few
examples: cookies, cupcakes, rolls, biscuits, muffins, pies, pizzas, appetizers, and
snack foods.
To obtain the best results in multiple rack cooking, follow these suggestions:
• Use temperature and times in this manual as a guide for best results.
• For two rack baking, rack positions #20 and 4 are best for most baked products but
positions #2 and 4 also provide acceptable results.
• For three rack baking use positions #1, 3o and 4. (See illustration above.) One
exception is pizza. (See p. 37.)
• Since foods on positions #1 and 4 will usually be done before foods on position #3o,
additional cooking time will be needed for browning foods on the middle rack. An
additional minute is needed for thin foods such as cookies. For foods such as
biscuits, rolls, or muffins, allow 1 to 2 more minutes. Frozen pies and pizzas, which
should be baked on a cookie sheet, need about 2 to 4 more minutes.
• Stagger small pans, such as layer cake pans, in the oven.
• Frozen pies in shiny aluminum pans should be placed on cookie sheets and baked
on rack positions #1, 30 and 4.
• Cookie sheets should be placed lengthwise, side to side, in front of the fan for more
even browning.
• Oven meals are recommended for energy conservation. Use rack positions #1 and
30 or #2o and 4 and Convect Roast. (See illustration above,)
33
• Preheating is not necessary.
• For open pan roasting, place meat or poultry on the slotted portion of the two-piece
pan included with the oven, Do net add water to the pan. Use open pan roasting
for tender cuts of meat. Less tender cuts of meat need to be cooked by moist heat
in a covered pan.
• For best results, a meat thermometer is the most accurate guide to degree of
doneness. The tip of the thermometer should be located in the thickest part of a
roast, not touching fat, bone, or gristle. For turkeys and large poultry products,
insert the tip of the thermometer into the thickest part of the inner thigh.
• Place roast fat side up to allow self basting of meat during roasting.
• Since meats continue to cook after being removed from the oven, remove roast
from oven when it reaches an internal temperature about 5 degrees below the
temperature desired.
• For less loss of juices and easier carving, allow about 15 mLnutes "standing time"
after removing meat from oven.
• For best results in roasting poultry, thaw completely. Due to the structure of poultry,
partially thawed poultry will cook unevenly.
• If preferred, tender cuts of meat can be roasted in the conventional bake oven by
following the general recommendations given above. However, meats will roast
more quickly in the convect oven using Oonvect Roast.
• Conventional bake is best for less tender cuts of meat that require a longer, moist
heat method of cooking. Follow your recipe for times and temperatures for covered
meats.
• Meats cooked in oven cooking bags, dutch ovens, or covered roasting pans are best
cooked in the conventional bake oven using the Bake Pad,
• Use meat roasting charts in standard cookbooks for recommended times and
temperatures for roasting in a conventional bake oven.
34
Chart time is based on thawed meats only. For Conventional Roasting use the Bake
Pad.
* When using the Convect Roast mode, there is no need to preheat the oven or to lower the
temperature from conventional roast temperatures.
** Not recommended for convection cooking. Most precooked hams have to be covered while
roasting, thus there would be no time savings when using the convect mode,
35
• Tender cuts of meat and poultry can be roasted to a rich golden brown in the
convection oven. Follow general recommendations for roasting and use Conveet
Roast.
• Refer to convection meat roasting chart for recommended cooking temperature
and time. The chart can serve as a guide to help plan meal serving time.
• Minutes per pound will vary according to the size, shape, quality, and initial
temperature of meat as well as the electrical voltage in your area. Times are based
on refrigerator cold meat.
• A large cut of meat will usually require fewer minutes per pound to roast than a
smaller cut of meat,
• Do not use a roasting pan with high sides; use pan provided with oven.
• Do not cover meat. Atlow the circulating hot air to surround the meat and seal in
the juices.
• Since the breast meat on a large turkey cooks more quickly than the thigh area,
place a "foil cap" over the breast area after desired brownness is reached to prevent
overbrowning. (See above.)
• A stuffed turkey will require an extra 30 to 60 minutes, depending on size, Stuffing
should reach an internal temperature of 165°F.
Convect Roasting: Frozen to Finish
Meats (except poultry) may be roasted frozen to finish. Follow these guidelines for the
most satisfactory results.
• Use temperatures for roasting fresh meats as recommended by most cookbooks.
Generally, most meats are roasted at 325°F. For best results do not use
temperatures below 300°F.
• Use times for roasting fresh meats given in your favorite cookbooks as approximate
guides for roasting frozen meats. Roasting times witl vary due to factors such as
coldness of meat, size, quality, or cut. In general, roasting times for frozen to finish
in the convection oven will be approximately the same as fresh to finish in a
conventional bake oven.
• The guidelines given for roasting fresh meats in the convection oven also apply to
roasting frozen meats,
• Insert meat thermometer midway during the cooking process.
36
Figure 2.
• Use the Conveet Roast Pad for best results.
• Preheating the oven is not necessary.
• Follow package recommendations for oven temperature, foil covering and use of
cookie sheets. Cooking times will be similar. See chart below for some exceptions
and examples.
• Center foods in the oven. If more than one food item is being cooked or if foods are
being cooked on multiple racks, stagger foods for proper air circulation.
• Most foods are cooked on rack position #3o. (See Figure 2.)
• For multiple rack cooking, use racks #1, 30 and 4. However, pizzas should be
placed on cookie sheets and baked on rack position #2o, 3 and 4.
Here are a few examples of times and temperatures
* An "o" after a rack number implies that the offset rack should be used.
** Conventional bake uses the Bake Pad.
*** The times given are based on specific brands of mixes or recipes tested. Actual
times will depend on the ones you bake.
Note: Convect roasting times will be similar to the conventional times because the oven
is not preheated. The time savings comes from not having to preheat the oven.
37
1. Place oven rack on the rack position suggested in the charL (See p. 39.)
Distance from broiling element depends on foods being prepared. Rack position
4o (offset rack in position #4) is usually recommended unless otherwise stated.
2. Touch Broil Pad.
Indicator Word BROIL will flash and Display will show three dashes.
Note: If more than fifteen seconds elapses between touching Broil Pad and
touching Up or Down Arrow Pad(s), the oven is _notset and Display wil! return to
previous Display.
3,
Touch Up or Down Arrow Pad(s).
The first touch of an Arrow Pad will enter "HI" in the Display. The oven has a
variable broil feature which means that a lower temperature can be selected. Touch
Down Arrow Pad if a lower temperature is desired. Use "HI" broil for most broil
operations. Use vadable broil for delicate and long-term items.
Four seconds after entering "HI" or entering a temperature, the broil element will
come on and the Indicator Words BROIL and ON will remain in the Display along
with the selected Broil temperature. If the variabte broil feature was selected, the
Indicator Word ON will cycle with the element.
Example: If at 10 o'clock you set the oven for broi! ("HI"), the Display will show:
I0:00 .I ]
8ROLL
4. Place food on broiler pan. Broil element will preheat in 5 minutes. After broil element
is red, place food in oven. Oven door MU__b_e_Jeft open at broil stop position.
5. Touch Cancel Off Pad to turn off oven when food is cooked.
NOTE: A fan comes on during the BROIL cycle. If it does not, the oven broil element
will cycle on and off. ff the fan does not operate, contact your authorized Jenn-
Air Service Contractor for repair.
38
• Tender cuts of meat or marinated meats are best for broiling. This includes rib and
loin cuts of steak, ground beef, ham steaks, poultry pieces or fish. For best results,
steaks should be at least 1" thick. Thinner steaks should be pan-broiled.
• Do not cover broiler grid with foil since this prevents fat drippings from draining into
the bottom of the pan.
• Before broiling, remove excess fat from meat and score edges of fat (do not cut into
meat) to prevent meat from cuding. Salt after cooking.
• To prevent dry surface on fish or Lean meats, brush melted butter on top.
• Foods that require turning should be turned only once during broiling. Turn meat
with tongs to avoid piercing and loss of juices.
Chart time is based on a preheated broil element using the "FII" setting.
*An "o" after a rack number implies that the offset rack should be used.
Note: This chart is a suggested guide. The times may vary with food being cooked.
39
When the oven controls are set to CLEAN, the oven heats to temperatures that are
higher than those used for cooking. The high temperatures cause food soil to burn off
and substantially disappear. While this occurs, a device in the oven vent helps to
consume normal amounts of smoke. The oven is vented through an opening under the
air grille.
• Remove the broiler pan and any other utensils from the oven. These utensils cannot
withstand the high temperatures of the cleaning process.
• Clean spatters and spills from those areas which will not be cleaned during the self-
cleaning process:
- center front of oven and door near opening in door gasket.
- porcelain oven door liner (area outside the door gasket).
- oven front frame.
Note: DO NOT CLEAN serial plate located on the
oven front.
To clean these areas, use hot water and detergent,
nonabrasive cleansers or soap filled steel wool pads.
Rinse thoroughly, being careful not to use an excessive
amount of water that would dampen the door gasket.
Soil left in these areas will be more difficult to remove
t
after the self-cleaning process since the high heat will I
bake on any soil that is present. DO NOT USE COMMERCIAL OVEN CLEANERS
TO CLEAN THESE AREAS.
• DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN, RUB, OR APPLY WATER TO GASKET ON OVEN
DOOR. The gasket is essential for a good door seal. Rubbing or cleaning will
damage the gasket and may affect the seal.
• Wipe up excess grease and food spillovers which have not baked on the bottom of
the oven. Large accumulations of soil can cause heavy smoke or fire in the oven
during the cleaning process. For ease of cleaning, the heating element can be lifted
slightly.
• Although smoke or fire in the oven is a normal occurrence and there is no safety
problem, there will be venting of excessive smoke and odor. Smoke and odor can
be removed from the kitchen by turning on the ventilation system.
4O
• The oven racks can be cleaned in the oven. However, the oven racks wil_ discolor,
lose shininess, and become difficult to slide in and out if left in the oven during the
ctean[ng process. REMOVE RACKS FROM OVEN IF THIS OISCOLORATiON
WILL BE OBJECT}ONABLE. As a suggestion, do not leave the racks in the oven
during each self-cleaning process if they do not need to be cleaned since they will
discolor to a duff silver after the first cleaning. Moderately soiled racks can be
cleaned with a soapy S.O.S. pad or Scotch-Brite scour pad. Stubborn stains need
to be removed in the serf-cleaning process. Be sure to read special tips on page
44 if oven racks are cleaned during the serf-cleaning process,
*Omit steps 4 & 5 if you wish clean1 ng to begin immediately.
To set oven to start cleaning immediately

2. Touch Clean Pad,
Indicator Words CLEAN TIME will flash and Display will show" HR : _ _".
3. Touch Up or Down Arrow Pad(s) to select cteaning time.
The first touch of an Arrow Pad will give you 3 hours of eteaning time, The cleaning
time can be varied depending on the amount of soil, Set "2:00" for light soil or "4:00"
for heavy soil.
Note: If more than fifteen seconds elapse between touching Clean Pad and
touching an Arrow Pad, the oven is DOtset and time of day will automatically return

• A slight odor may be detected, and if an oven is heavily soiled, some smoke may
be visible, Some smoke and odor during the cleaning process is a normal
occurrence. Since the oven vent is located under the air grille, vapors, moisture,
etc. may be seen coming from this area. 14the odor is strong or objectionable, turn
on the ventilation system to exhaust odors to the outdoors. (See p. 10,)
• During the cleaning process, do not be alarmed ff an occasional flame is visible
through the oven window. This is caused by excessive food soil that was not
removed before the oven was set to clean.
• SINCE THE DOOR AND WINDOW OF THE OVEN WILL GET WARM DURING
THE SELF-CLEANING PROCESS, AVOID CONTACT.
• Some types of soit 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 deposits
remain after wiping with a sponge, the time set for the length of cleaning was not
enough. Increase the cleaning time for future cteanings or clean more frequently.
The normal cleaning time is 3 hours. A maximum of 4 hours may be selected if
necessary,
• If racks have been left in oven during the cleaning process, they should be treated
as follows. After the cleaning process is completed and the oven has cooled, buff
the underside of rack edges with Scotch-Brite scour pad or rub lightlyfhe underside
of rack edges with a coating of vegetable oil. Use a light application of oi! so it does
not soil the oven. This will make the cleaned racks slide more easily.
• To remove occasional spitlovers between cleanings, use a soap-filled scouring pad
or mild cleanser; rinse well.
• It is better to clean the over) regularly rather than wait until there is a heavy buildup
of soil in the oven.
• During the cleaning process, the kitchen should be well ventilated to help eliminate
normal odors associated with cleaning,
• DO NOT USE COMMERCIAL OVEN CLEANERS.
• DO NOT USE ALUMINUM FOIL OR OTHER LINERS IN THE OVEN.

water which may seep behind the glass, Do not use abrasive cleaning agents.
Igniters
• It is important to keep igniter port openings on burners clear and free of obstructions
to avoid ignition failure and possible gas buildup. If the port openings are blocked,
use a toothpick to remove food particles.
• The igniter cap and stem can be cleaned with warm soapy water and a plastic
scrubber. The wire electrode inside the cap can be cleaned with a small brush.
Rinse and dry.
Surface Burner Assembly
The surface burner assembly can be cleaned with mild detergents and a ptastic
scrubber, or washed in the dishwasher. To prevent scratching the burner heads, do not
use abrasive cleansers or scrubbing pads. Do NOTclean in a self-clean oven.
Note: Check to be sure all ports are open. To open clogged ports, insert a toothpick
directly into each port.
Although the burner grate is durable, it will gradually lose its shine and/or discolor,
regardless of the care you take of it. This is due to its exposure to the high temperature
of the gas flames.
To preserve the porcelain enamet finish as long as possible, have a pan on the grate
before you turn on the burner, and lower the flame when food reaches the desired
cooking temperature.
