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6underInstallation)
theburnercouldextinguishresultingingasescapingintothe
RV. Remember, gas to burnersis controlled manually,you
mustturngas“ONand“”OFF”.
b. Aboilovercouldoccurandthespillcouldignite.
16. Flamesize
a. Never extend the ame beyond the outer edge of the
utensil.Ahigheramesimplywastesheatandenergy.
b.  Correct ame size is determined by utensil size and
material,whatyouarecookingandwhetherornotyouare
cookingwithliquid.

thehighinputburner(ifequipped),shouldnotbeoperatedonhighfor
anextendedperiodoftime.
Usethehighamesettingtobegin,thenreducetheame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.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1.Knowwhichknobcontrolswhichburner.Alwaysbesurethecorrect

maylightunexpectedlyastheairinthelineclearsandisreplacedby
LPgas.Thisunexpectedignitioncouldburnyou.Airinthegaslines

type designed for lighting open ame burners.
3. Ifanyburnershouldextinguishafterinitiallightingorduetoaccidental
blow-out,turngasoffbyturningcontrolknobclockwise to“OFF”,
waitve(5)minutesbeforeattemptingtorelighttheburner.Failureto
followtheseinstructionscouldresultinareorexplosion.
Iftheburnershouldgooutwhilecooking,orifthereisanodorofgas,
turncontrolknob(s)clockwise to“OFF”.Waitve(5)minutesfor
