About Your Radiant Cartridge
Congratulations onyour choiceofaJenn-Air radiant cooktop cartridge. The twocooking
areas are identified by circles on the glass ceramiccooktop. When anelement is turned
ON,thecooktopwillheatupand the red glow of the heating element can beseen through
the glass ceramic top. Itis normal to see the redglow of the element whenever it cycles
on. Theelement will cycle on and off for all control settings except Hi. However, it may
also cycle on Hi if improper cookware is used.
Cooking Procedures
• BEFORE FIRST USE. CLEAN COOKTOP CARTRIDGE (See p.7)
• For best results, always use recommended cookware.
• Different cookpots anddifferentamounts of food being preparedwill influencethe
controlsettings neededforbest results. (Seecooktop or range use &care manual
for typical control settings.) Forfastest 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.
• Theglassceramic cooking area retains heatfor a periodoftime aftertheelements
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 retentioncharacteristic, 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 of foods or when using
a cookpot that conducts heat quickly.
IMPORTANT
• Do not usewire trivets, fire rings, padsorany such itembetween 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.
