Your Halogen

Cartridge

Congratulations on your choice of a Jenn-Air halogen cooktop cartridge. The two cooking areas are identified by circles on the glass ceramic cooktop. When an element is turned ON, a circular halogen bulb will glow instantly and within seconds, the red glow of the heating element can be seen through the glass ceramic top. It is normal to see the red glow of the element whenever it cycles on. The element will cycle on and off for all control settings except Hi. However, it may also cycle on Hi if improper cookware is used.

Procedures

BEFORE FIRST USE. CLEAN COOKTOP CARTRIDGE (See p.7) For best results, always use recommended cookware. Different cookpots and different amounts of food being prepared will influence the control settings needed for best results. (See cooktop or range use& care manual for typical control settings.) For fastest cooking, start with the surface control on Hi for one minute; then turn the control to the lower desired setting. Covering pans, whenever possible, speeds cooking and is more energy efficient. The glass ceramiccooking area retains heat for a period oftime after the elements have been turned off. Put this retained heat to good use. Turn the elements off a few minutes before food is completely cooked and use the retained heat to complete the cooking. Because ofthis heat retention characteristic, the elements will not respond to changes in heat settings as quickly as coil elements. In the event of a potential boil over, remove the cookpot from the cooking area. When preparing foods which can be easily scorched or over-cooked, start cooking at a lower temperature setting and gradually increase temperature as needed. A higher setting than normal may be necessary when using cookpots made with material that is slow to conduct heat, such as cast iron. A lowersetting can be usedwhen cooking small quantities offoods or when using a cookpot that conducts heat quickly.

IMPORTANT
� � � � � � Do not use wire trivets, fire rings, pads or any such item between the cookware and the element. Do not cook foods directly on cooktop. Do not allow pan to boil dry as this could damage the cooktop and the pan. Do not slide heavy metal or glass cookpots across surface since these may scratch the surface. Do not use or place plastic items anywhere on cooktop. Do not use cartridge in the event a break has occurred. Call an authorized Jenn-Air Service Contractor.
