● 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.
● 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.
● The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping
system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during
any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test
pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).
Cooktop Safety Warnings
● 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.
● Keep the cooktop 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.
● 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.
