Cooktop Operation:
Place cookware on the burner grate over
the desired burner.
DO NOT
operate the
burners without cookware on the grate.
The grate’s porcelain
fi
nish may chip
without a pan to absorb the heat from the
burner
fl
ame.
Push in burner knob and immediately rotate
counterclockwise to the “Lite” setting.
A clicking sound will be heard and the
burner will light.
Turn knob to desired heat setting.
CAUTION:
DO NOT leave cooktop unattended.
Cooktop Operation without AC power:
Ensure all controls are in the OFF
position prior to lighting surface burners.
Strike the match before turning the
burner knob. Hold it as close as possible
to the burner head.
Slowly turn the burner knob to the
desired heat setting. LP-Gas will escape
the burner head and create a
fl
ame when
it reaches the match
fl
ame.
CAUTION:
DO NOT leave cooktop unattended.
WARNING:
DO NOT leave burners unattended
during cooking. DO NOT leave burner
valve(s) open while burner(s) are not
lit. LP-Gas is heavier than air and will
settle on the floor and “hide” in corners.
If you smell gas, extinguish all open
flames. Open all windows and doors.
DO NOT touch any electrical switches.
They may cause a spark that can ignite.
Evacuate the motorhome and shut off
the primary LP-Gas valve. LP-Gas is
highly volatile, highly explosive and
extremely dangerous. Explosion, fire,
property damage, injury or death can
result. Contact a qualified service center
to have the problem correctly diagnosed
and repaired before resuming operation.
Cooktop Tips:
A yellow
fl
ame is an indicator of incorrect
fuel/air ratio. Lowered BTU output and
carbon build up can occur.
When cooking at an altitude above 5,000
feet, the
fl
ame may change appearance
and the
fl
ame BTU output will be
lowered. Allow extra cooking time.
DO NOT
allow the tips of the
fl
ame to
extend beyond pan or pot edge. When
this occurs, heat is wasted and the
possibility of injury increases.
Cooking time can be reduced if the least
amount of liquid is used. The choice
of cookware selected can make a big
difference.
NOTE:
See the OEM manual for more
information.
Care & Cleaning
Cooktop:
Porcelain enamel is glass fused on metal and
may crack or chip with misuse.
Wipe up all spills immediately with a dry
cloth. Never wipe a warm or hot surface
with a damp cloth as this may cause
cracking or chipping of the cooktop
surface.
When cool, clean with soapy water
and then rinse and dry. Never use oven
cleaners, abrasive or caustic cleaning
agents on cooktop.
Burner Caps and Grates:
Always allow to cool before cleaning.
Clean with soapy water and a plastic
scrubbing pad.
DO NOT
clean in dishwasher or self-
cleaning oven.
NOTE:
See OEM manual for more detailed
cleaning instructions.
