The surface grate uses a locator pin which MUST be positioned in the
burner cap indent hole to keep the grate held in place.
WARNING: 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 and
turn off the main gas supply. Liquid propane is highly volatile, highly
explosive and extremely dangerous. Explosion, fire, property damage,
injury or death can result. Open all windows and doors. Do not touch
any electrical switches. They may cause a spark which can ignite.
Evacuate the motorhome and shut off the LP valve. Contact a
qualified service center to have the problem correctly diagnosed and
repaired before resuming operation.

• A yellow flame 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 flame may change
appearance and the flame BTU output will be lowered. Allow extra
cooking time.
• Do not allow the tips of the flame to extend beyond pan or pot edge. When
this occurs, heat is wasted and 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.
•Additional information can be found in the “Use and Care Guide” located
in the Information File Box

Cleaning the cooktop is quick and easy. Regular cleaning with a soft cloth
and a warm detergent solution is generally enough to keep the cooktop clean.
Wash, rinse and dry with soft cloths. Clean the cooktop when it is cool. Use a
dry cloth or paper towel to clean spatters or spills when the surface is warm,
before it gets baked on. Glass cleaner sprayed on a paper towel should be used
for the cooktop surface. You do not want to spray glass cleaner directly on the
surface.
DO NOT use abrasive cleaners or steel wool. Harsh cleansers like
bleach, ammonia and oven cleaner should NEVER be used. The surface
burner grate and caps should be cleaned using the same guidelines as the cook-
top surface.
Porcelain Enamel:
Porcelain enamel is a type of glass fused on steel at a very high temperature.
It is not extremely delicate, but it must be treated as glass. Sharp blows, radical
surface temperature changes, etc., will cause enamel to chip or crack. Some
foods, such as vinegar, lemon juice, tomatoes and milk, contain acids which can
dull the finish of the enamel. To avoid dulling the finish, wipe up the spill
before it is baked on. Remember, the surface is glass and must be given consid-
