The cooktop operates under the following
conditions:
• The battery cut-off switch is on and the bat-
teries are charged.
• The primary LP-Gas valve on the LP tank is
open.
• The LP-Gas valve in the cabinet under the
cooktop (located next to the regulator) must
be open.
Using the Cooktop:
1. Place the cookware on the burner grate
over the desired surface burner.
2. Open the burner valve by applying a down-
ward pressure on the knob and rotating
counterclockwise from the OFF position to
LITE.
3. When the burner lights, rotate knob to the
desired flame setting. In the event of a power outage or igniter failure, the cooktop can be
lit manually.
Surface Burners:
Surface burners have an independent heat ratings of 6,000 and 12,000 BTUs. The lower BTU
burner (located next to the control knobs) can be used for smaller cookware. The higher BTU burner
should be used for larger cookware.
The flames at the surface burners should have an even appearance at the burner base. Uneven
flames may indicate the need to clean the burners.
Control Knobs:
• Press down knob and rotate to LITE to activate electric spark to light the burner.
• HI - Used to start the cooking process and bring liquids to a boil quickly.
• MED HI - Used to hold a boil in liquids.
• MED - Used for gravy and large quantities of vegetables.
• MED LO - Used to keep food cooking at a reduced heat after starting from higher set-
tings.
• LO - Used to keep food warm or simmer.
WARNING:
Do not leave burners unattended during cooking. Do not leave burner valve(s) open
while burner(s) are not lit. LP-Gas is heavier than air and will settle on the floor and
"hide" in corners. If you smell gas, extinguish all open flames. Open all windows and
doors. Do not touch any electrical switches. They may cause a spark that can ignite.
Evacuate the motorhome and shut off the primary LP-Gas valve. Liquid propane is
highly volatile, highly explosive and extremely dangerous. Explosion, fire, property dam-
age, injury or death can result. Contact a qualified service center to have the problem
correctly diagnosed and repaired before resuming operation.
