Cooktop Tips:
• A yellow flame is an indicator of incorrect fuel/air ratio. Lowered BTU output and carbon
build up can occur.
• When cooking at an altitude above 5,000 feet, the flame may change appearance and the
flame BTU output will be lowered. Allow extra cooking time.
• Do not allow the tips of the flame to extend beyond pan or pot edge. When this occurs,
heat is wasted and possibility of injury increases.
• Cooking time can be reduced if the least amount of liquid is used. The choice of cookware
selected can make a big difference.
• Additional information can be found in the "Cooktop Use and Care Guide" located in the
Information File Box.
Cleaning & Care
Regularly wipe down the cooktop with a soft cloth and a warm detergent solution to keep it
clean. Do not clean the cooktop with abrasive or harsh cleaners such as steel wool, bleach, ammonia or
oven cleaner.
Use a dry paper towel or cloth to wipe up spatters or spills when the cooktop surface is still slightly
warm. To avoid accidental burns, do not clean the cooktop when it is hot to touch. Do not allow food
to bake on. Clean the surface burner grate and caps using the same guidelines as the cooktop surface.
Porcelain Enamel:
Sharp blows, radical surface temperature changes, etc., will cause enamel to chip or crack. Some
foods, such as vinegar, lemon juice, tomatoes and milk, contain acids that can dull the finish of the
enamel. To avoid dulling the finish, wipe up the spill before it is baked on. Steel wool and course,
gritty cleanser will scratch or mar the surface. Use gentle kitchen cleanser powder or grease cleaner. For
further information on care and maintenance of the porcelain, call "Hopes Cultured Marble Polish"
at 800-325-4026.
COOKTOP - ALL ELECTRIC (Optional)
The electric cooktop operates from 120 Volts AC supplied from either shore power or the generator.
The washer-dryer and bedroom A/C will not operate until the cooktop is turned off.
To Operate the Cooktop:
• Hook to shore power or start the generator.
• Push down and rotate knob to the desired heat setting.
• Red indicator lamp glows when a knob is on.
NOTE:
Only one of the following can be used at a time: Bedroom
A/C, Washer-Dryer, or Cooktop. This is due to the auto-
matic appliance selector limiting the use of appliances
according to priority, to prevent electrical overload.
