RANGE AND OVEN OPERATION (Option)
1
WARNING:
Personal Injury Hazard
• Do not touch or allow clothing and flammable materials to come in contact
with burner grates or areas near top burners until they have sufficient time
to cool. These areas become hot enough to cause burns and fires.
• Ensure that pans used are large enough to contain food and avoid boil
overs. Heavy splattering or spills left on the cooktop can ignite and cause
burns.
• Ensure that glass cookware is safe for use on the top burners. Only certain
types of glass cookware is suitable for surface or top burner use.
• Never leave top burners unattended.
• Turn pan handles inward, but not over other top burners. This will reduce
the chance of burns.
• Grease is flammable. Never allow grease to collect around top burners or on
cooktop surface. Wipe spills up immediately.
• Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a flaming pan. Smother a
flaming pan with a tight-fitting lid or cookie sheet. Flaming grease outside
of the pan can be extinguished with baking soda or a multipurpose dry
chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
To light the top burners on the range and cooktop models equipped with spark ignition:
a. Turn the appropriate burner knob counterclockwise to “ON” or “LITE/HI.” Do not
attempt to light more than one burner at a time.
b. On three burner models, turn the “SPARK” knob clockwise one click. If the burner
fails to light, continue turning the “SPARK” knob clockwise until the burner lights.
c. On four burner models, wait approximately seven seconds after turning the burner
knob to “ON”; press the “SPARK” button once to light the burner. If the burner fails
to light, continue pressing the “SPARK” button until the burner lights.
d. To extinguish the top burner flame, turn the appropriate burner knob clockwise to
“OFF.”

WARNING:
Ensure that stove knobs are pushed all the way onto the
stems when in the “OFF” position. Failure to do so could result in the
stove inadvertently being turned on. If camping with small children, you may
want to utilize stove knob covers that are available at your local hardware.

WARNING: Personal Injury Hazard
• 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.
• If any burner extinguishes (after initially lighting or due to accidental
blowout), turn all burner knobs clockwise to OFF and WAIT FIVE MIN-
UTES before again attempting to light the burner. Failure to follow these
instructions may result in a fire or explosion.
• Do not touch the top burners, burner grates, or other areas near top
burners. These areas become hot enough to cause burns. During and after
use, do not let clothing or other flammable materials contact the top burners
or areas near top 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 spill-overs. Heavy splattering or spill-overs left on the cooktop
can ignite and burn you.
• Do not use a broiler pan, griddle, or any other large utensil which covers
more than one top burner at a time. This may create excessive heat which
may damage the burner grates or stove top. This may cause sooting, which
may discolor the burners or your utensils.
• 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.

CAUTION:
For safe operation, top burners must always be adjusted so that
flame never extends beyond the edge of the cooking utensil.
The front burner may have high performance capability. This information is located on
the data plate in the stove.
It is important to have the fan over the range in operation while cooking to remove warm
moist air and reduce condensation, also to remove potential smoke.
1. To remove the stove top:
a.
Remove the two thumb screws from the sides of the stove top. Lift the stove
top clear of the burner box. Replacement is a reversal of this procedure.
2. To remove the burner grates:
a.
On models with round grates, squeeze opposite sides of the grate together and
lift it free of the stove top. Remove the stove top (see step #1 above).
b.
On models with rectangular grates, remove the stove top (see step #1 above).
From the underside of the stove top, remove the clips from the grates by
squeezing the ends of the clips together to release the tension on the grate.
c.
Replacement is a reversal of the above procedure.
3. If any of the burner ports or the orifice are clogged, carefully clean them with a
toothpick. Never use a wire brush or metallic item for cleaning burner ports or
orifices. Never use any brush which may “shed” bristles, which may become lodged
in the orifice or burner ports and cause a fire or explosion.
Many other tips, cautions, warnings and information will be found in the manual
published and supplied by the manufacturer of this product.
