WARNING
FIRE, EXPLOSION, BURN INJURY
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING
• The cooking appliance must be completely separated and/or
sealed from other air moving or air consuming devices such as,
but not limited to, furnaces, microwave ovens, clothes dryers,
cooling fans and doors or drawers in common cabinets. Failure
to do so will affect the appliance(s) combustion air supply by
creating either a negative or positive draft.
• NEGATIVE DRAFT caused by air moving appliances may draw
the top burner flame down into or toward the cooktop resulting
in cooktop damage, burn hazard, explosion possibility and/or
carbon monoxide buildup.
• POSITIVE DRAFT may blow out the top burner flame during use
resulting in an explosion and/or fire hazard and/or injury to the
occupants of the vehicle.
•
DO NOT operate the appliance in excessive windy conditions as
this may cause a negative or positive draft.
1. For proper operation of your cooking appliance:
THE HOUSING CABINET MUST BE:
• properly constructed.
• squared to the countertop and cabinet face
OPENING IN THE HOUSING CABINET MUST BE:
• level from side to side and front to rear
2. For ranges, the cabinet opening must be constructed so that no com-
bustible material can be placed next to the range sides. If there is a
gap between the range and an adjacent cabinet, the gap must be
closed prior to installing the range.
WARNING
FIRE
• 30 inches is the minimum vertical distance to combustible mate-
rial above the cooktop stove. This distance may be reduced by
using non-combustible construction in accordance with Table 2-

disconnected.
9. Turn on the gas supply.
WARNING
EXPLOSION OR FIRE
• DO NOT use matches, candles or other sources of ignition to test
fittings and gas lines for leaks.
10. Check all connections for gas leaks using a non-corrosive leak detection
fluid. Do not use a soap and water solution. Leak test in excess of 8
oz. per square inch (1/2 psi) of air pressure will invalidate warranty.
11. Replace range top (
FIG 4-5). Range/cooktop is now ready for operation.
TOP BURNER OPERATION
WARNING
BURN INJURY, FIRE AND/OR EXPLOSION
• Use range or cooktop only for use as described in this manual.
• DO NOT leave children alone or unattended in area where range or cook-
top is in use. Never allow anyone to sit, stand, or climb on any part of
the range cooktop. They could be burned or injured.
• DO NOT store things children might want above the range or cooktop.
Children could be burned or injured while climbing on it.
• DO NOT wear loose or hanging garments when using the range or cooktop.
They could ignite if they touch an open flame and you could be burned.
• Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may
result in burns from steam. Do not let the potholder touch an open flame.
DO NOT use a towel or bulky cloth for a potholder. It could catch on fire.
•
DO NOT heat unopened containers. They could explode. The hot contents
may cause burns and container particles may cause injury.
• DO NOT use range or cooktop for warming or heating vehicle. You could
be burned or injured, a fire could start, or deplete oxygen in the vehicle.
• DO NOT store flammable materials on, in, or near the range or cooktop.
Any fumes can create an explosion and/or fire hazard.
WARNING
BURN INJURY, FIRE AND/OR EXPLOSION
• All control knobs must be turned to OFF when not in use. Fire and/or
burning hazard may occur if a burner is accidentally left ON.
•
DO NOT operate range or cooktop if it is damaged or not working properly.
• Know where your vehicle’s main LP gas shutoff is located.
• 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.
• If any burner should extinguish (after initially lighting or due to accidental
blow-out), turn all burner knobs clockwise to OFF and WAIT FIVE (5)
MINUTES before again attempting to light the burner.
• 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.
•
DO NOT
drop pans on the porcelain surface. Cracks or chips in the
porcelain surface may result.
• 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.
• Never leave top burners unattended. A boil over could result and cause
smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite.
• Turn pan handles inward, but not over other top burners. This reduces the
chance of burns due to bumping pan.
• Grease is flammable. Never allow grease to collect around top burners or
on cooktop surface. Wipe spillovers immediately.
• DO NOT use water on grease fires. Never pick up a flaming pan. Smother a
flaming pan with a tight-fitting lid or cookie sheet. Flaming grease outside of
the pan can be extinguished with baking soda or a multipurpose dry chemi-
cal or foam-type fire extinguisher.
• Use care when lighting a top burner by hand. If the burner lights unex-
pectedly, or your hand is close to the burner, you may be burned.
• Burner flame should not extend beyond the edge of the cooking utensil.
The flame could burn you and cause poor cooking results.
1. Check that gas is on at shutoff valve.
2. LIGHTING Top Burners:
a. All burner controls operate counter-clockwise and must be
pressed inward (toward the cooktop) to turn ON or LITE. Do not
attempt to light more than one burner at a time.
b. IMMEDIATELY light the burner by holding a lit match or a hand-held
spark igniter designed for this purpose near the burner ports.
c. To extinguish the top burner flame, turn the appropriate burner knob

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.
•
N
ever 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.
