. . .
+ All ignitors will spark and click when any surface burner
knob is turned on. However, only the selected burner
will light.
+ A properly adjusted burner with clean ports will light
within a few seconds. The cone-shaped flame will be
clear blue in color with a deeper blue inner core; there
should be no trace of yellow in the flame. (With LP gas,
some yellow in the flame is acceptable.)
If the burner flame is yellow, lifts off the ports or is
noisy, the air/gas mixture may be incorrect. Contact a
service technician to adjust.
+ Match the pan size to the surface burner. The use of
undersized pans will expose the flame.
+ Do not allow large pans to extend over the control knobs.
Heat trapped between large pans and the knobs could
cause the knobs to become hot.
+ Do not let the burner flame extend beyond the edge of the
pan.
+ Do not allow large pans to extend beyond the edge of the
surface burner grates. Heat trapped between large pans
and other surfaces could possibly cause surfaces to
become hot to the touch or damage these areas.
To prevent damage to other surfaces when using a
large pan, you may purchase a “Big Pot” Canning
Grate (Model AG146) accessory. Contact your dealer
or call l-800- JENN-AIR.
+ Leave a minimum of 1 l/2” between the side of a pan and
surrounding side surfaces, such as a countertop backsplash
or side walls. This will allow heat to escape and prevent
damage to the side surfaces.
