●
If any burner should extinguish (after initially lighting or due to
accidental blow-out), turn all burner knobs off and wait five (5)
minutes before attempting to relight the burner.
●
DO NOT store flammable materials on, in, or near the appliance.
Any fumes can create an explosion and/or fire hazard.
●
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.
●
Use only dry potholders to remove hot utensils. Using damp
potholders 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.
●
Never heat an unopened container. Pressure build-up within the
container can cause it to explode.
●
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.
●
This appliance is intended to be built-in to a cabinet structure
only and is not intended for attachment to the building structure.
●
Ensure the manual valve is installed in an accessible location
in the gas piping external to the appliance for the purpose of
turning on or shutting off gas to the appliance.
●
Ensure that any opening in the wall behind the appliance and
on the floor under the appliance shall be sealed.
●
The appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be
disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any
pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2
psi (3.5 kPa).
●
The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping
system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during
any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test
pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).
Cooktop Safety
●
If the cooktop is near a window, proper precautions should be
taken to prevent curtains from blowing over burners creating a
fire hazard.
●
Keep the area around the cooktop clean and clear of any
combustible materials, gasoline or other flammable vapors and
liquids. Not doing so can cause an explosion and/or fire.
●
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.
●
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.
●
Use only dry potholders to remove hot utensils. Using damp
potholders 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.
●
Never heat an unopened container. Pressure build-up within the
container can cause it to explode.
●
Keep the appliance clean. The build-up of grease and food boil-
over and/or spillage can create a fire hazard.
●
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.
●
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.
●
Never leave top burner(s) unattended.
−
For such reasons as down drafts that could be created
by opening and closing of cabinet doors or doors within
the RV or by positive or negative air pressures affecting
burners due to improper installation. (See Installation
section) The burner could extinguish resulting in gas
escaping into the RV. Remember, gas flow to each burner
is controlled manually, you must turn gas flow “ON” and
“OFF”.
−
A boil over could occur and the spill could ignite.
●
Flame size
−
Never extend the flame beyond the outer edge of the
utensil. A higher flame simply wastes heat and energy.
−
Correct flame size is determined by utensil size and
material, what you are cooking and whether or not you
are cooking with liquid.
●
To prevent damage to the cooktop, top burners, or top grate,
never operate a top burner without a pan in place. The top
burners, especially the high input burner, should not be
operated on high for an extended period of time. The high
setting should be used only to start the food cooking or to
bring liquids to a boil, then reduce the flame to a lower setting
to continue cooking. Use the low flame setting to keep food
warm. Remember, a gas range heats quicker than an electric
range, therefore, experiment with various settings until you feel
comfortable cooking with gas.
●
Never use cookware which extends beyond one inch of the
grate (maximum pan size
12"
diameter). Never place cooking
utensil on grate to where it rests over two operating top burners.
This will cause excessive heat buildup, which could result in
damage in damage to the grate, top burner(s) and cooktop.
●
Verify sufficient gas supply before attempting to light any top
burner. Air in the gas supply line will significantly delay burner
ignition, and a burner may light unexpectedly as the air in the
line clears out and is replaced by LP gas, this unexpected
ignition may burn you. Air may be introduced into the supply
line when the vehicle gas bottle is replaced, during servicing of
other gas appliances, etc.
●
DO NOT touch top burners, burner grates, or other areas near
top burners during and after use. Do not let clothing or other
flammable materials to contact top burners or areas near top
burners until they have had sufficient time to cool.
●
Make sure the utensils you use are large enough to contain
food and avoid boil overs and spillovers. Heavy splattering or
spillovers left on the cooktop can ignite and burn you.
●
Be sure that glass cooking utensils are safe for use on the
cooktop. Only certain kinds of glass utensils are suitable for
surface or top burner use without breaking due to the sudden
changes in temperature.
●
Grease is flammable. Never allow grease to collect around top
burners or on cooktop surface. Wipe spillovers immediately.
●
Use care when lighting a top burner by hand. If the burner lights
unexpectedly, or your hand is close to the burner, you may be
burned.
●
DO NOT drop pans on the porcelain surface. Cracks or chips in
