cooktop
The cooktop uses LP-Gas only as a fuel
source. The burners use a piezo type igniter. The
cooktop should be used for cooking purposes
only and not as a heating source. When the
burner valve is opened the fuel source flows
through the valve into the mixture tube. The fuel
passes by a hole or venturi in the mixture tube,
which draws air in with the fuel for a proper
fuel/air ratio. The flame should have a blue
appearance with a lighter blue defined flame at
the burner head.
A yellow flame or yellow tips indicate a rich
fuel mixture, which can leave a black color or
carbon on the bottom of a pot or pan.
The cooktop operates under the following
conditions:
The primary LP-Gas valve on the LP
tank is open.
The battery cut-off switch is on.
House batteries are charged.

Cooktop Covers
Before using the cooktop the covers must be
removed.
Never place the covers on the cooktop
while the burners are in use.
DO NOT
use the covers as a griddle.
The covers must be in place while the
motorhome is in transit.
Using the Cooktop:
1. Place the cookware on the burner grate
over the desired surface burner.
2. Open the burner valve by applying a
downward pressure to the knob and
rotating clockwise.
3. When the burner lights, rotate knob to
the desired flame setting. In the event
of a power outage or igniter failure, the
cooktop can be manually lit.


Control Knobs:
Turn appropriate burner knob
counterclockwise to
LITE
.
DO NOT
attempt to light more than one burner at
a time.
Turn the SPARK knob clockwise one
click. If the burner fails to light, continue
turning the SPARK knob clockwise until
the burner lights.
Move the burner knob clockwise to OFF ,
to turn the burner off.
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. Liquid propane 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.
