6. Fasten unit in place with wood screws through holes provided in side flanges
of burner box and front frame bottom tabs with a minimum of six screws.
7. Be sure burner knobs are in “off” position. Secure gas connection and turn on
gas supply. Check all connections for leaks using soapy-water solution or a non-
corrosive leak detection solution. Do not use a soapy-water solution containing
ammonia.
CAUTION: Gas supply tubing within the confines of the appliance
connection shall be rigid or semi-rigid metallic tubing.
WARNING: Never check for leaks with an open flame or any ignition
source for this purpose.
NOTE: The appliance must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system
during any pressure testing of that system at test pressure in access of 1/2 PSIG.
The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping during any pressure
testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressure equal to, or less than,
1/2 PSIG.
8. Replace main top.
9. Your unit is now ready for operation. Before operating, read the safety
information and operating instructions contained in the manual.
SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNING! If 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 risk of a fire
and/or the production of carbon monoxide exists which can cause
personal injury, property damage or loss of life.
Listed below are some very important facts that you should follow. They are listed
for your protection and safety.
1. Never attempt to repair the appliance yourself. Any repairs to or installation of
this appliance must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency or the
gas supplier and in accordance with the instructions in this manual. Service of
your appliance by a non-approved service person or agency could result in failure
of the integrity of the appliance and could lead to property damage, serious injury
or loss of life.
2. Have your dealer show you where the main gas shut-off valve is located and
how to shut it off in an emergency.
3. Use your range/cooktop only for its intended use.
WARNING! Never use this appliance as a space heater to heat or warm the
room. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide poisoning and overheating
of the oven.
4. If the range/cooktop is near a window, proper precautions should be taken to
prevent curtains from blowing over burners creating a fire hazard.
5. Keep the area around the cooktop clean and clear of any combustible
materials, gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids. Not doing so can cause
an explosion and/or fire.
6. Do not leave children alone or unsupervised in area where range/cooktop is
being used. The top burners, burner grates and other areas near the burners
become hot enough to cause severe burns.
7. Children should be taught that the range/cooktop is not a toy. They should not
be allowed to play with the controls or any other parts of the appliance. Do not
allow anyone to stand or sit on top of the range. Not only can this damage the
range, but personal injuries could result.
8. Do not store items of interest to children in cabinets above or near the
appliance. Children climbing on the appliance to reach items could be seriously
injured.
9. Do not wear loose fitting clothing or long-hanging sleeved clothing while using
the appliance. If they contact the open flame of the burner, they could ignite and
cause severe burns.
10. 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 catch fire.
11. Never heat an unopened container. Pressure build-up within the container
can cause it to explode.
12. Keep appliance clean. The build-up of grease and food boil-over and/or
spillage can create a fire hazard.
13. Avoid using your range/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. (See safety notice on front cover of
this manual.)
14. 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.
15. 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.
16. Do not use the oven as a storage area.
17. Do not cover the oven vent openings whenever oven is being used. See
Figure 4. Covering the vents restricts the flow of combustion air to the oven
burner and could cause poor combustion and the formation of carbon monoxide.
WARNING! NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages in the oven bottom
or cover an entire rack with materials such as aluminum foil. Doing so
blocks airflow through the oven and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning.
Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat, causing a fire hazard.
18. 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 flow to each burner is
controlled manually, you must turn gas flow “ON” and “OFF”.
b. A boil over could occur and the spill could ignite.
19. Flame size
a. Never extend the flame beyond the outer edge of the utensil. A higher
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.
20. 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, should not be operated on high for an extended period of time. The high
setting should be used only to start the food cooking or to bring liquids to a boil,
then reduce the flame to a lower setting to continue cooking. Use the low flame
setting to keep food warm. Remember, a gas range heats quicker than an electric
range; therefore, experiment with various settings until you feel comfortable
cooking with gas.
Never use cookware which extends beyond one inch of the grate (maximum pan
size 10" diameter). Never place cooking utensil on grate to where it rests over two
operating top burners. This will cause excessive heat buildup, which results in
damage to the grate, top burner(s) and cook top.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
A. TOP BURNERS
1. Know which knob controls which burner. Always be sure the correct burner is
turned on.
2. Depress knob and turn fully counter-clockwise to “Lite” position.
a. Verify sufficient gas supply before attempting to light the burner. Air in the
gas line will significantly delay burner ignition. The burner 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 may occur after the
vehicle gas bottle and/or tank is refilled, during and after servicing other
appliances on same gas line, etc.
b. Do not attempt to light more than one burner at a time.
c. Immediately light burner on those models ending with “M” (example:
SRNA3LWBM; SRSA3SWBM) hold a long match near the burner ports.
CAUTION: Hand held ignitors may be used but be sure they are the
type designed for lighting open flame burners.
If your model ends with “E” (example: SRNA3LWBE/ SRSA3SWBE), the
burner can be lit by rotating piezo knob clockwise rapidly. This
produces a spark at the burner which ignites the gas.
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 five (5) minutes
before attempting to relight the burner. Failure to follow these instructions could
result in a fire 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 five (5) minutes for gas odor to disappear.
If gas odor is still present - do not relight burners. See “What To Do If You Smell
Gas” on the front cover of this manual.
4. To turn burner(s) “OFF”, turn the appropriate control knob clockwise
to “OFF”.
WARNING! Be sure all control knobs are turned “OFF” when you are not
cooking. Someone could be burned or a fire could start if a burner is
accidently left on or unattended even if only momentarily.
