● All control knobs must be turned off when not in use. Fire
and/or burning hazard may occur if a burner is accidentally
left on.
● If any burner should extinguish (after initially lighting or due
to accidental blow-out), turn all burner knobs off and wait
five (5) minutes before again attempting to light the burner.
● 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.
● 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.
● Never heat an unopened container. Pressure build-up within
the container can cause it to explode.
● 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.
● This appliance is intended to be built-in to a cabinet
structure only and is not intended for attachment to the
building structure.
Cooktop Safety
● Do not place pans onto glass surface. Raise cover into full
open position before operating burners. Let cooktop cool
before closing glass cover.
● If the cooktop is near a window, proper precautions should
be taken to prevent curtains from blowing over burners
creating a fire hazard.
● 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.
● 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.
● 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.
● Never heat an unopened container. Pressure build-up within
the container can cause it to explode.
● Keep the appliance clean. The build-up of grease and food
boil-over and/or spillage can create a fire hazard.
● 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.
● 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.
● Never leave top burner(s) unattended.
−
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
Installation section) 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".
−
A boil over could occur and the spill could ignite.
● Flame size
−
Never extend the flame beyond the outer edge of the
utensil. A higher flame simply wastes heat and energy.
−
Correct flame size is determined by utensil size and
material, what you are cooking and whether or not you
are cooking with liquid.
● To prevent damage to the cooktop, 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 low flame setting to keep
food warm. Remember, a gas range heats quicker than an
electric range - 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 Ø 10"). Never place cooking
utensil on grate to where it rests over two operating top
burners. This will cause excessive heat buildup, which could
result in damage to the grate, top burner(s) and cooktop.
● Verify sufficient gas supply before attempting to light any
top burner. Air in the gas supply line will significantly delay
burner ignition, and a burner may light unexpectedly as
the air in the line clears out and is replaced by LP gas, this
unexpected ignition may burn you. Air may be introduced
into the supply line when the vehicle gas bottle is replaced,
during servicing of other gas appliances, etc.
● DO NOT touch top burners, burner grates, or other areas
near burners during and after use. Do not let clothing or
other flammable materials to contact burners or areas near
burners until they have had sufficient time to cool.
● Make sure the utensils you use are large enough to contain
food and avoid boil overs and spillovers. Heavy splattering
or spillovers left on the cooktop can ignite and burn you.
● Be sure that glass cooking utensils are safe for use on the
cooktop. Only certain kinds of glass utensils are suitable
for surface or top burner use without breaking due to the
sudden changes in temperature.
● Grease is flammable. Never allow grease to collect
around top burners or on cooktop surface. Wipe spillovers
immediately.
● Use care when lighting a top burner by hand. If the burner
lights unexpectedly, or your hand is close to the burner, you
may be burned.
● DO NOT drop pans on the porcelain surface. Cracks or
chips in the porcelain surface may result.
● DO NOT leave an empty utensil, or one which has boiled
dry, on a hot top burner. The utensil could overheat and
damage the utensil or the cooking appliance.
