CAUTION
PRODUCT DAMAGE HAZARD
•
DO NOT
use oversized cookware. The pan should not be more than one
inch larger than the burner grate. The maximum pan size is a 10-inch
skillet. Oversized cookware will cause excessive heat build-up in the
stove top and will result in damage to the burner grate, burner and cooktop.
•
DO NOT
use a broiler pan, griddle, or any other large utensil which covers
more than one (1) top burner at a time. This will create excessive heat
which may cause melting, sooting or discoloration damage to the burn-
er grates, range top, or utensils.
•
DO NOT
leave an empty utensil, or one which has boiled dry, on a hot top
burner. The utensil could overheat and damage the utensil or the cook-
ing appliance.
OVEN OPERATION
WARNING
FIRE, EXPLOSION, BURN INJURY,
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING
•
DO NOT
touch any inner surfaces of the oven or oven door, or the wire
rack inside, or any utensils inside the oven during and after use until
these areas have had sufficient time to cool. You could be burned or
injured. During and after use, do not let clothing or other flammable
materials contact these areas until they have had sufficient time to cool.
•
DO NOT
touch the outer surface of the oven door or the oven vent while the
oven is in use. These areas become hot enough to cause burns. During and
after use, do not let clothing or other flammable materials contact these
areas until they have had sufficient time to cool.
•
DO NOT
cover the ventilation holes in the oven broiler shelf (shelf above
oven burner). The air circulation inside the oven will be interrupted and
cooking times will vary from normal; food may be burned or under-
cooked.
•
DO NOT
cover the oven vent openings while the oven is in operation; restrict-
ing the flow of combustion air may create a carbon monoxide poisoning haz-
ard.
•
DO NOT
use oven as a storage area.
• If oven pilot should extinguish after initial lighting or due to accidental
blowout, turn oven knob clockwise
哶
to OFF and wait five (5) minutes
before again attempting to light oven.
1. Check that gas is on at shutoff valve.

er shelf
FIG
1-B and to the right of the oven burner
FIG

c. Continue to hold the oven control knob in for 5 seconds after pilot is
lit. Release knob and verify pilot stays lit. Repeat steps (b) and (c) if
pilot does not stay lit.
d. Set the oven control knob to PILOT PUSH/HOLD to maintain pilot
flame. The oven and broiler are now ready for operation; see #3

a. Light the oven pilot as described in #2 above.
b. With the oven control knob set to PILOT PUSH/HOLD, push in and
rotate the knob counter-clockwise
哷
to the desired temperature set-
ting or to BROIL. The oven will pre-heat in approximately 15 min-
utes. For best results, always pre-heat the oven before use.
c. To extinguish the oven burner, rotate the knob clockwise
哶
to PILOT
PUSH/HOLD. The oven pilot will remain lit.
d. For complete shutdown, push in and rotate the knob clockwise
哶
to
OFF.
4.
USING THE BROILER:
a. Light the oven pilot as described in #2 (above).
b. Push in and rotate the oven control knob counter-clockwise
哷
to
BROIL.
c. Center a broiler pan under the broiler flame.
d. Move and turn the food over frequently to ensure even browning and
cooking.
Note: A 2-piece enameled broiler pan (MPD 51042) may be purchased from
Atwood.
Note: Cooking times will be longer at higher attitudes (+4000 feet).
MAINTENANCE
WARNING
BURN INJURY, FIRE AND/OR EXPLOSION
• Make sure all controls are OFF and the range or cooktop is cool
before cleaning.
• Make sure that all cooktop surfaces, burner grates and burners are
cool before cleaning or disassembling cooktop.
•
DO NOT
use oven cleaners, bleach, or rust removers on the cooktop
or burner grates.
•
DO NOT
obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
• Keep appliance area clear of combustible materials, gasoline and
other flammable vapors and liquids.
• Clean oven with oven cleaner only. Follow directions on the container.
•
Never use a wire brush or metallic item for cleaning burner ports
or orifices. Brush may “shed” bristles, that may lodge in the orifice
or burner ports and cause a fire or explosion.
CAUTION
PRODUCT DAMAGE HAZARD
• Clean all surfaces as soon as possible after boil overs or spillovers.
• Use warm soapy water only to clean the burner grates, cooktops, paint-
ed surfaces, porcelain surfaces, stainless steel surfaces and plastic
items on your range or cooktop. Do not use grit or acid-type cleaners.
•
DO NOT
use steel wool, or abrasive cleaners, or acid type cleaners
such as chlorine bleach on your cooktop or grate systems. They
will damage your range or cooktop. Use only non-abrasive plastic
scrubbing pads.
•
DO NOT
allow foods containing acids (such as lemon or tomato juice, or
vinegar) to remain on porcelain or painted surfaces. Acids may
remove the glossy finish. Wipe up egg spills when cooktop is cool.
•
DO NOT
wash warm porcelain surfaces. Allow these areas to cool
before cleaning. You could burn yourself, or the porcelain could crack.
• Pitting and discoloration will result if spills are allowed to remain
for any length of time on stainless steel.
•
DO NOT
allow spillovers to remain on the burner caps. The caps
could become permanently stained.
•
When cleaning around the burners, use care to prevent damage to
the electrode (if so equipped). If a sponge or cloth should catch
the metal igniter electrode, it could damage or break the electrode.
If this occurs, the burner will not light.
The owner’s cooking habits and cleanliness will affect the operation
of the range or cooktop. Proper installation and care will help keep
your range or cooktop looking and operating like new. Most cleaning
can be performed using normal household items.
RANGE & SLIDE-IN COOKTOP:
1. To remove the range top:
All Models - Push firmly in the back of the top to slide the entire top
backwards. While the top is slid backwards, lift up on one of the
two front corners (
FIG
3).
