Warning: Personal Injury Hazard
• Verify sufficient gas supply before attempting to light any top burner. Air in
the gas supply line will significantly delay burner ignition, and a burner
may light unexpectedly as the air in the line clears out and is replaced by LP
gas; this unexpected ignition may burn you. Air may be introduced into the
supply line when the vehicle gas bottle is replaced, during servicing of other
gas appliances, etc.
• If any burner should extinguish (after initially lighting or due to accidental
blowout), turn all burner knobs clockwise to OFF and WAIT FIVE MIN-
UTES before again attempting to light the burner. Failure to follow these
instructions may result in a fire or explosion.
• Do not touch top burners, burner grates, or other areas near top burners.
These areas become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not
let clothing or other flammable materials contact top burners or areas near
top burners until they have had sufficient time to cool.
• Make sure the utensils you use are large enough to contain food and avoid
boil-overs and spill-overs. Heavy splattering or spill-overs left on the cooktop
can ignite and burn you.
• Do not use a broiler pan, griddle, or any other large utensil which covers
more than one top burner at a time. This may create excessive heat which
may damage the burner grates or stove top. This may cause sooting, which
may discolor the burners or your utensils.
• Do not leave an empty utensil, or one which has boiled dry, on a hot top
burner. The utensil could overheat and damage the utensil or the cooking
appliance.
CAUTION:
For safe operation, top burners should always be adjusted so that
flame never extends beyond the edge of the cooking utensil.
The front burner may have high performance capability. This information is located on
the data plate in the stove.
It is important to have the fan over the range in operation while cooking to remove warm
moist air and reduce condensation, also to remove potential smoke.
1. To remove the stove top:
a.
Remove the two thumb screws from the sides of the stove top. Lift the stove
top clear of the burner box. Replacement is a reversal of this procedure.
2. To remove the burner grates:
a.
On models with round grates, squeeze opposite sides of the grate together and
lift free of the stove top. Remove the stove top (see step #1 above).
b.
On models with rectangular grates, remove the stove top (see step #1 above).
From the underside of the stove top, remove the clips from the grates by
squeezing the ends of the clips together to release the tension on the grate.
c.
Replacement is a reversal of the above procedure.
3. If any of the burner ports or the orifice are clogged, carefully clean with a toothpick.
Never use a wire brush or metallic item for cleaning burner ports or orifices. Never
use any brush which may “shed” bristles, which may become lodged in the orifice or
burner ports and cause a fire or explosion.
