SAFETY INFORMATION
Listed
below
are some very
important facts that
you
should follow. They
are
listed for
your protection
and safety.
1. Have
your
dealer show
you
where the main
gas
shut-off valve is located and
how to shut it off in an emergency.
2. Use
your
cooktop only for
its intended use. It is not to be used as a means to
heat
your
RV. Using
your
cooktop in lhis manner can result in
personal
injury/property
damage and/or
loss of life.
3. lf the cooktop is near a window,
proper precautions
should be taken to
prevent
curtaans
from
blowing
over burners creating a f\re hazard.
4. Keep the area around
the cooktop clean and clear of any combustible
materials,
gaso[ne
or other
flammable
vapors
and
liquids.
5. Do not leave
children
alone or unsupervised
in area where cooktop is being
used. The top burners, burner
grates
and other areas near the burners become
hot
enough to cause severe
burns.
6.
Children should be
taught that the cooktop
is not a toy. They should not be
allowed to
play
with the controls or any other
parts
of the appliance.
7, Do not store items of
interest to children in cabinets above or
near the
cooktop.
Children
climbing on
the appliance to reach items could be seriously
injured.
8. Do not wear Ioose fitting clothing
or long-hanging sleeved clothing while using
the appliance. lf they contact the open
flame
of
the burner, they
could
ignite and
cause severe burns.
9. Use
only
dry
potholders
to remove hot utensils. Using damp
potholders
on
hot
surfaces
could result
in
burns
to hands. Do not use a towel or bulky cloth for a
pot
holder. The cloth could contact
open flame and cateh fire.
10, Never heat an unopened container. Pressure build-up within the container
can cause
it
to explode.
11.
Keep cooktop clean. The build-up
of
grease
and food boil-over and/or
spillage can create a fire hazard.
12.
Avoid using
your
cooktop
or any other appliance if
you
smell
gas.
Do not
assume that the smell of
gas
in
your
RV is normal. Any time
you
detect the odor
of
gas,
it is to
be considered
life
threatening
and
corrected immediately.
Extinguish
any open
flames including cigarettes and evacuate all
persons
from
the vehicle.
Shut off
gas
supply
at LP
gas
bottle.

MAINTENANCE
WARNING! lf the user
of this
appliance fails to maintain it
in the condition
in which it
was shipped from
the factory or if the
appliance is not used
solely for
its intended
purpose
or if appliance is
not maintained in
accordance
with the instructions
in this manual,
then the rask of a fire
and/orthe
production
of carbon
monoxide exists which can cause
personal
or loss of
life.
13. Turn
pan
handles inward
or
toward
back of cooktop and out of the way
of
people
walking
past
cooktop and/or out of the reach of
children. Do
not
turn
handles
to where
they are over the burners.
'14.
Do not
use water on
grease
fires- Never
pick-up
a
flaming
pan.
Smother a
flaming
pan
with a lid or flat
pan.
Flaming
grease
outside
the
pan
can be
extinguished
with
baking soda or a multipurpose dry chemical fire extinguisher.
15. Never
leave top burner(s) unattended.
a. For such reasons
as down drafts that could be created by opening and
closing of cabinet doors or doors within the RV or by
positive
or negative
air
pressures
affecting
burners due
to improper installation.
(See
paragraph

flame
simply
wastes heat
and energy.
b. Correct flame size is determined by utensil size and material, what
you
are cooking
and
whether
or
not
you
are
cooking
with
liquid.

7. To
prevent
damage to the cook top, top burners, or top
grate,
never operate
a top
burner without a
pan
in
place.
The top burners, especially the high input
burner
(if
equipped), should
not
be operated on
high
for an extended
period
of
time.
Use the high flame setting to begin, then reduce the flame to a lower
setting to
continue cooking. Never use cookware which extends
beyond one inch of
the
grate,
or
rests
over two operating top burners.
This
will cause excessive heat
build-up
which results in damage to the
grate,
top burner, and cook top.
1.
Make sure all controls are
"OFF"
and the drop-in cooktop is
cool before
cleaning.
2. Make sure that
all
cooktop
surfaces, burner
grates
and burners are cool
before
cleaning or disassembling cooktop.
3.
Do not use oven cleaners, bleach or rust removers on the cooktop or bumer
grates.
4. Do not
obstruct the
flow
of combustion and
ventilation
air.
5.
Clean
all
surfa,:es
as
soon as
possible
after boil overs
or spillovers.
6. Use warm soapy water only to clean the burner
grales,
cooktops,
painted
surfaces,
porcelain
surfaces, stainless steel
surfaces and
plastic
items
on
your
drop-in
cooktop. Do not use
grit
or acid-type cleaners.
7. Do not
use steel
wool
or
abrasive cleaners. They will damage
your
drop-in
cooktop.
Use only
non-abrasive
plastic
scrubbing
pads-
8. 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.
9. Do not wash warm
porcelain
surfaces.
Allow these
areas to cool before
cleaning. You
could burn
yourself
or
the
porcelain
could crack.
10. Pitting
and discoloration
will result if
spills
are
allowed
to remain for
any
length
of time on stainless steel.
11.
Do not allow spillovers to remain on the burner caps. The caps
could be
permanently
stained if spillovers are not cleaned up
promptly.
12.
lf any of the burner
ports
or the orifice are clogged, carefully clean with
a
small wire or needle. Be sure not to
enlarge
ports.
Never
use a
wire
brush for
cleaning
burner
ports
or orifice. Never use any brush which may
"shed"
bristles,
which
may become lodged in the orifice or burner
ports
and
cause a fire or
explosion.
