due to accidental blow-out), turn all burner knobs off and
wait five (5) minutes before again attempting to light 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.
Cooktop Safety Warnings
●
Do not place pans onto glass surface. Raise cover into full
open position before operating burners. Let cooktop cool
before closing glass cover.
●
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.
●
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.
●
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 1” of the
grate (maximum pan size 10" 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 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 the porcelain surface may result.
●
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 cooking appliance.
