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 cook top 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 cook top 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 cook top 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 cook top is being
used. The top burners, burner grates and other areas near the burners become
hot enough to cause severe burns.
6.
Children should be taught that the cook top is not a toy. They should not be
allowed to play with the controls or any other parts of the appliance.
7.
Do not store items of interest to children in cabinets above or near the
cook top. Children climbing on the appliance to reach items could be seriously
injured.
8.
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.
9.
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.
10.
Never heat an unopened container. Pressure build-up within the container
can cause it to explode.
11.
Keep cook top clean. The build-up of grease and food boil-over and/or
spillage can create a fire hazard.
12.
Avoid using your cook top 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.)
13.
Turn pan handles inward or toward back of cook top and out of the way of
people walking past cook top and/or out of the reach of children. Do not turn
handles to where they are over the burners.
14.
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.
15.
Never leave top burner(s) unattended.
a.
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 paragraph 6 under Installation.) The burner could extinguish
resulting in gas escaping into the RV. Remember, gas to burners is
controlled manually, you must turn gas “ON and “”OFF”.
b.
A boil over could occur and the spill could ignite.
16.
Flame size
a.
Never extend the flame beyond the outer edge of the utensil. A
higher flame simply wastes heat and energy.
b.
Correct flame size is determined by utensil size and material, what
you are cooking and whether or not you are cooking with liquid.
17.
To prevent damage to the cook top, top burners, or top grate, never operate
a top burner without a pan in place. The top burners, especially the high input
burner (if equipped), 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 cook top.
