surface. Wipe off any excess oil, then
heat the hotplate on a medium setting for
1 minute. Occasional seasoning will help
to maintain the hotplate’s appearance.
Only use LPG (Liquefied Petroleum
Gas). The appliance operates on
propane or butane. Propane is
preferred over butane, because butane
provides poor performance at an
ambient temperature below 10
°
C and
cannot be used at an ambient
temperature below 5
°
C.
Oven shelf: (Applies to K1520 only)
• The oven shelf allows good circulation at
the rear of the oven.
• A raised bar at the rear of the shelf
prevents trays or dishes making contact
with the back of the oven.
• To remove a shelf, pull it forward until it
stops, raise at the front and remove.

Cooling system:
(Applies to K1520 only)
This appliance is fitted with an automated
cooling system.
• The cooling fan will automatically switch
on a few minutes after the grill and/or
oven is turned on and will remain on even
after the appliance has been switched off.
• The fan will automatically switch off a few
minutes after the appliance has been
switched off, when the appliance has
cooled sufficiently.
• When either the grill or oven is first lit or
after switching off, the cooling fan may
operate intermittently, this is normal.
Maintenance and cleaning
Thetford recommends an annual inspection
service by an approved service centre.
Between annual servicing, clean the
appliance regularly after use. Before any
cleaning work is started, the appliance should
have been left to cool and be disconnected
from the gas and/or electrical supplies.
• Always remove any spills or
contamination immediately after use with
soap and hot water. Towel dry the
surface with a soft cloth.
• Use a non-abrasive multi-purpose cream
cleaner and a nylon scourer pad to clean
more stubborn dirt or grease.
• Use a proprietary stainless steel cleaner
or polish to remove superficial surface
scratching.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners, metal
scouring pads or hard brushes. They
could damage the appliance.
• If you clean the burner rings, ensure that
the holes are not clogged.
• Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or
sharp metal scrapers to clean the glass
surface, since they can scratch the glass
surface which may result in shattering of
the glass.
• Do not leave wet cloths, cleaning pads,
residues of food or cleaning products or
other dirt to dry on the surface. It can
cause pitting, marking or even rusting.
• Always clean in the direction of the
brushed finish and not across the grain.
• Cleaning agents containing bleach
should not be left in contact with stainless
steel.
• Mineral content in water (such as iron or
limescale) can affect the appearance of
the metal.
• Remove any spillage from the glass lid
before opening the lid.
• The control knobs can be removed for
cleaning. The knobs are easy to replace.
