HOW TO USE YOUR CARAVAN’S EQUIPMENT
• Care should be taken not to overload
the oven, allowing adequate spacing
to ensure free circulation of heat.
• Do not use steam cleaners or
pressure washers to clean the
appliance. See Maintenance and
Cleaning for instructions.
• Do not allow oil or fat to build up on
the appliance. Clean the appliance
after each use.
• Before cleaning or maintenance work
the appliance must be left to cool and
be disconnected from the gas and
electrical supplies.
• The glass lid may snap shut towards
the end of lowering due to the travel-
lock action of the hinges. Make sure
all fingers are clear of the appliance
when closing the lid.
• Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or
sharp metal scrapers to clean the
surface of the glass, since they can
scratch the glass surface which may
result in shattering of the glass.
• Remove any spillage from the glass
lid before opening the lid.
• Do not shut the glass lid when the
burners are lit or still warm.
Before using the appliance:
• Ensure that all packaging materials have
been removed.
• Clean the appliance with warm water and
household detergent and dry carefully
with a soft cloth.
• Ensure that the gas supply is connected
and turned on.
• Ensure that the appliance is connected to
the 12V DC battery for the cooling fans
and spark ignition.
• Ensure that the pan supports are
positioned properly.
• Ignite the gas burners and let them burn
to expel odours and vapours first.
• Ignite the burner and heat the grill for
about 20 minutes to eliminate any
residual factory lubricants that might
impart unpleasant smells to the food
being cooked. Smoke may occur during
this procedure. Open any windows and
turn on mechanical ventilators to help
remove the smoke.
• Ignite the burner and heat the oven for
about 30 minutes at 200
°
C to eliminate
any residual factory lubricants that might
impart unpleasant smells to cooked food.
Smoke may occur during this procedure.
Open any windows and turn on
mechanical ventilators to help remove
the smoke.
Dual Fuel only:
• Ensure the electricity is connected and
switched on.
• Prime the hotplate by switching on the
hotplate for a short period, without a pan,
to harden and burn off the coating. Use a
medium to high setting for 3-5 minutes.
Allow adequate ventilation to disperse
any smoke that occurs during this
process. Allow the hotplate to cool.
• Season the hotplate by heating the
hotplate for 30 seconds on a medium
setting and then switching off. Pour a
minimal amount of unsalted vegetable oil
onto a clean dry cloth or paper towel and
apply a thin coat of oil to the hotplate
