14.
Appliance commissioning - installer to check for correct burner test
point pressure with at least 50% of cooktop burners operating, and any
other appliance in operation. Verify proper ignition of all burners.
15.
Check all connections for gas leaks with soap and water. DO NOT use
a naked flame for detecting leaks. Ignite all burners both individually
and concurrently to ensure correct operation of gas valves, burners and
ignition. Turn gas valves to low flame position and observe stability of
the flame for each burner individually and concurrently. When satisfied
with the appliance, please instruct the user on the correct method
of operation. In case the appliance fails to operate correctly after all
checks have been carried out, refer to the authorized service provider in
your area.
16.
Your Suburban Drop-in Cooktop is now ready for operation. Before
operating, read the safety information and operating instructions
contained in this manual.
SAFETY INFORMATION
Listed below are some very important facts that you should follow. They are
listed for your protection and safety.
1.
Have your dealer show you where the main gas shut-off valve is located
and how to shut it off in an emergency.
2.
Use your cooktop only for its intended use.
WARNING
NEVER use this appliance as a space heater to
heat or warm the room. Doing so may result in
carbon monoxide poisoning and overheating of
the appliance.
3.
If the cooktop is near a window, proper precautions should be taken to
prevent curtains from blowing over burners creating a fire hazard.
4.
Keep the area around the cooktop clean and clear of any combustible
materials, gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids.
5.
Do not leave children alone or unsupervised in area where cooktop is
being used. The top burners, burner grates and other areas near the
burners become hot enough to cause severe burns.
6
. The cooking surface surrounding the appliance and the portion of
appliance under the countertop will become hot during operation.
7.
Do not touch the cooking surface or the portion of the appliance under
the countertop or allow any items wich may be damaged by heat to
contact the appliance during operation or before appliance has cooled
after use.
8.
Children should be taught that the cooktop is not a toy. They should not
be allowed to play with the controls or any other parts of the appliance.
9.
Do not store items of interest to children in cabinets above or near the
cooktop. Children climbing on the appliance to reach items could be
seriously injured.
10.
Do not wear loose fitting clothing or long-hanging sleeved clothing while
using the appliance. If they contact the open flame of the burner, they
could ignite and cause severe burns.
11.
Use only
dry
pot holders to remove hot utensils. Using damp pot
holders on hot surfaces could result in burns to hands. Do not use a
towel or bulky cloth for a pot holder. The cloth could contact open flame
and catch fire.
12.
Never heat an unopened container. Pressure build-up within the
container can cause it to explode.
13.
Keep cooktop clean. The build-up of grease and food boil-over and/or
spillage can create a fire hazard.
14.
Avoid using your cooktop or any other appliance if you smell gas. Do not
assume that the smell of gas in your RV is normal. Any time you detect
the odor of gas, it is to be considered life threatening and corrected
immediately. Extinguish any open flames including cigarettes and
evacuate all persons from the vehicle. Shut off gas supply at LP gas
bottle. (See safety notice on front cover of this manual.)
15.
Turn pan handles inward or toward back of cooktop and out of the way
of people walking past cooktop and/or out of the reach of children. Do
not turn handles to where they are over the burners.
16.
Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a flaming pan. Smother
a flaming pan with a lid or flat pan. Flaming grease outside the pan can
be extinguished with baking soda or a multipurpose dry chemical fire
extinguisher.
17.
Never leave top burner(s) unattended.
a.
Down drafts could be created by opening and closing cabinets
or doors and by positive or negative air pressures within the RV
which can affect burner performance if installed improperly. The
burner could extinguish resulting in gas escaping into the RV.
Remember, gas to the burners is controlled manually. You
must turn gas ON and/or OFF.
b.
A boil over could occur and the spill could ignite.
18.
Flame size
a.
Never extend the flame beyond the outer edge of the utensil. A
higher flame simply wastes heat and energy. See Figure 2.
b.
Correct flame size is determined by utensil size and material,
what you are cooking and whether or not you are cooking with
liquid.
19.
To prevent damage to the cooktop, top burners, or top grate, never
operate a top burner without a pan in place. The top burners should not
be operated on high for an extended period of time.
Use the high flame setting to begin, then reduce the flame to a lower setting
to continue cooking. Never use cookware which extends beyond one inch of
the grate, or rests over two operating top burners. This will cause excessive
heat build-up which results in damage to the grate, top burner, and cooktop.

a.
Verify sufficient gas supply before attempting to light the burner.
Air in the gas line will significantly delay burner ignition. The
burner may light unexpectedly as the air in the line clears and
is replaced by Propane gas. This unexpected ignition could burn
you. Air in the gas lines may occur after the vehicle gas bottle
and/or tank is refilled, during and after servicing other appliances
on same gas line, etc.
b.
Do not attempt to light more than one burner at a time.
c.
Immediately light burner by holding a long match near the burner ports.
CAUTION
Hand held ignitors may be used but be sure they are the type
designed for lighting open flame burners.
3.
If any burner should extinguish after initial lighting or due to accidental
blow-out, turn gas off by turning control knob clockwise
to “OFF”,
wait five (5) minutes before attempting to relight the burner. Failure to
follow these instructions could result in a fire or explosion. If the burner
should go out while cooking, or if there is an odor of gas, turn control
knob(s) clockwise
to “OFF”. Wait five (5) minutes for gas odor to
disappear. If gas odor is still present - Do not relight burners. See “What
To Do If You Smell Gas” on the front cover of this manual.
