Need help?Do you have a question about the RecPro RP-RANGE-17BL and is the answer not in the manual?
The RecPro Gas Range is an appliance designed for cooking in recreational vehicles (RVs), offering both cooktop burners and an oven for versatile meal preparation. This manual provides comprehensive instructions for its safe operation, installation, and maintenance, ensuring users can maximize its features while adhering to important safety guidelines.
The RecPro Gas Range serves as a primary cooking appliance, equipped with multiple top burners and an oven. The top burners are designed for various cooking tasks, from simmering to boiling, while the oven allows for baking and roasting. The appliance operates on propane gas and requires a 12V DC power supply for its electronic ignition and internal lighting features.
The gas range offers both manual and electronic ignition options for the top burners and the oven. For manual ignition, users are instructed to turn the appropriate knob to the "HI" or "Light" position and then use an extended-lit match or butane lighter near the burner port. Electronic ignition involves turning the control knob to the "Light" position and repeatedly rotating the ignition button clockwise until the burner lights.
The flame size for the top burners can be adjusted to prevent flames from extending beyond the edge of cooking utensils, which is crucial for safety and efficiency. The manual emphasizes the importance of using correctly sized pots and pans to optimize cooking and prevent potential hazards.
For oven use, the manual details the process of lighting the oven burner, whether manually with a match or electronically. Users are advised to keep the oven control knob pushed in for a few seconds after the pilot light ignites to ensure proper lighting. The oven also features an LED light, which can be turned on and off with a dedicated button, enhancing visibility inside the oven cavity.
Safety is a paramount concern, and the manual provides extensive instructions to prevent accidents. Users are warned against using the range as a space heater, covering vents, or storing flammable materials near the appliance. Specific warnings are given regarding the handling of hot surfaces, the use of appropriate potholders, and the dangers of heating unopened food containers.
The range is designed for installation in RVs, and specific cabinet specifications are provided to ensure proper air circulation and safe operation. These include minimum vertical and horizontal distances from combustible walls and surfaces, as well as requirements for ventilation holes.
Regular cleaning and maintenance are essential for the safe and efficient operation of the RecPro Gas Range. The manual advises users to clean the range regularly, ensuring all parts are grease-free to prevent fires. This includes cleaning grease filters and exhaust fan vents.
For cleaning the cooktop, grates, burner caps, and other components, users are instructed to clean spills immediately after the range has cooled to prevent discoloration or staining. A mild soapy water solution is recommended for cleaning porcelain surfaces, stainless steel, painted surfaces, burner grates, and plastic items.
The manual explicitly lists "DO NOT's" for sanitation and upkeep, cautioning against the use of oven cleaners on surfaces other than the oven itself, bleach, rust removers, abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or metallic/wire brushes. These materials can damage the appliance or pose safety risks, such as bristles getting stuck in burner ports and causing explosions or fires.
Users are also warned against allowing acidic foods (like vinegar, citrus juices, or tomatoes) or egg spills to remain on painted or porcelain surfaces, as these can react with the paint and gloss, causing damage.
Before operating the gas range, a gas leak check is mandatory. The manual outlines the procedure for checking for leaks using a soapy solution and stresses that open flames should never be used for this purpose. If a gas leak is detected, the defective part should be replaced or the loose joint tightened by a qualified professional.
The manual also provides troubleshooting tips for common issues, such as burners not igniting uniformly or flames burning yellow or orange instead of blue. These tips guide users through checking control knob positions, gas valve status, burner cleanliness, gas tank levels, battery power for igniters, and moisture on burners.
Overall, the RecPro Gas Range is a functional and user-friendly appliance for RVs, with a strong emphasis on safety and proper maintenance to ensure a long and reliable service life.
