HOW TO USE YOUR MOTORHOME’S EQUIPMENT
To season, first heat the hotplate for 30
seconds on a medium setting, then switch
off. Pour a minimal amount of unsalted
vegetable oil onto a clean dry cloth or paper
towel, and apply a thin coat of oil to the
hotplate surface. Wipe off any excess oil,
then heat the hotplate on a medium setting
for one minute. Occasional seasoning will
help to maintain its appearance.
Gas Burners
Ensure the gas cylinder is turned on.
In the event of a gas smell turn off at the
cylinder and contact supplier.
Burners - Each burner is controlled
individually and is monitored by a flame
supervision device. In the event of the burner
flames being accidentally extinguished, turn
off the burner control and do not attempt to
re-ignite the burner for at least one minute.
To light the burner, press in and turn the knob
anti-clockwise to the full rate position and
apply a light to the burner or press the
ignition button if fitted. It is necessary to hold
the knob depressed during ignition and for
approximately fifteen seconds after the
burner has lit to allow the probe to reach
temperature. Should the flame go out when
the knob is released, the procedure should
be repeated holding the knob depressed for
slightly longer.
Using the appliance
For simmering, turn the knob further anti-
clockwise to the low rate position.
To turn the burner off, rotate knob fully
clockwise until the line on the knob lines up
with the dot on the control panel.
The burners on this appliance have fixed
aeration and no adjustment is required.
Depending on the gas being used, the
burners should flame as follows:
Propane - the flames should burn quietly
with a blue/green colour with no sign of
yellow tips.
Butane - Normally on initial lighting, as
small amount of yellow tipping will occur
and then slightly increases as the burner
heats up.
Each burner will accommodate pans from 10
to 20cm apart from one burner which will
accept a 22cm pan. For right hand control
units this burner is the rear left, and for the
left hand control units this burner is the front
right.
In all cases, care should be taken not to
overload the appliance as reduced
performance may result. When using small
pans, the flame should not spread beyond
the base of the pan as this will reduce the
efficiency of the burner.
Do’s and Don’ts
DO read the user instructions carefully before
using the appliance for the first time.
DO allow the burners to heat before using the
first time, in order to expel any smells
before the introduction of food.
DO clean the appliance regularly.
DO remove spills as soon as they occur.
DO check that controls are in the off position
when finished.
DO NOT allow children near the appliance
when in use. Turn pan handles away
from the front so that they cannot be
caught accidentally.
DO NOT allow fats or oils to build up in the
base of the hotplate.
DO NOT use abrasive cleaners or powders
that will scratch the surfaces of the
hotplate.
DO NOT under any circumstances use the
appliance as a space heater.
LEAKS
If a smell of gas becomes apparent, turn off
supply IMMEDIATELY at the cylinder.
Extinguish naked lights including cigarettes
and pipes. Do not operate electrical switches.
Open all doors and windows to disperse any
gas escape. Butane/Propane gas is heavier
than air; any gas escaping will therefore
collect at low level. The strong unpleasant
smell of gas will enable the general area of
the leak to be detected. Check that the gas is
not escaping from an unlit appliance. Never
check for leaks with a naked flame; leak
investigation should be carried out using a
leak detector spray or soapy solution.
