WARNING
DO NOT leave burners unattended
during cooking. DO NOT leave burner
valve(s) open while burner(s) are not
lit. LP-Gas is heavier than air and
will settle on the floor and “hide” in
corners. If you smell gas, extinguish
all open flames. Open all windows and
doors. DO NOT touch any electrical
switches. They may cause a spark that
can ignite. Evacuate the motorhome
and shut off the primary LP-Gas
valve. Liquid propane is highly
volatile, highly explosive and extremely
dangerous. Explosion, fire, property
damage, injury or death can result.
Contact a qualified service center to
have the problem correctly diagnosed
and repaired before resuming
operation.
Operation Tips:
A yellow ame is an indication of
incorrect fuel/air ratio. Lowered BTU
output and carbon build up can occur.
When cooking at an altitude above 5,000
feet, the ame may change appearance
and the ame BTU output will be
lowered. Allow extra time cooking time.
DO NOT allow the tips of the ame to
extend beyond pan or pot edge. When
this occurs heat is wasted and possibility
of injury increases.
Cooking time can be reduced if the least
amount of liquid is used. The choice
of cookware selected can make a big
difference.
Additional information can be located in
the cooktop OEM manual.

Burner Grate
The two burner grates attached to the
cooktop cover by four insertion tabs can be
removed for cleaning purposes. Place a cloth
down to protect the countertop. To remove a
burner grate, pull up on the grate. To re-install a
burner grate align the two insertion tabs with the
two grommets and push down.
Care & Cleaning
Regularly wipe down the cooktop with a soft
cloth and a warm detergent solution to keep it
clean. DO NOT clean the cooktop with abrasive
or harsh cleaners such as steel wool, bleach,
ammonia or oven cleaner.
Use a dry paper towel or cloth to wipe up
spatters or spills when the cooktop surface is still
slightly warm. To avoid accidental burns, do not
clean the cooktop when it is hot to touch. DO
NOT allow food to bake on. Clean the surface
burner grate and caps using the same guidelines
as the cooktop surface.
Porcelain Enamel:
Sharp blows, radical surface temperature
changes, etc., will cause enamel to chip or
crack. Some foods, such as vinegar, lemon
juice, tomatoes and milk, contain acids that can
dull the nish of the enamel. To avoid dulling
the nish, wipe up the spill before it is baked
on. Steel wool and course, gritty cleanser will
scratch or mar the surface. Use gentle kitchen
cleanser powder or grease cleaner. For further
information on care and maintenance of the
porcelain, call Hopes Cultured Marble Polish at
800-325-4026.
COOKTOP WITH OVEN (OPTIONAL)
The cooktop range/oven uses only LP-Gas
as a fuel source. The burners use a piezo type
igniter. The cooktop should be used for cooking
purposes only and not as a heating source. When
the burner valve is opened the fuel source ows
through the valve into the mixture tube. The fuel
passes by a hole or venturi in the mixture tube,
which draws air in with the fuel for a proper
fuel/air ratio. The ame should be blue with a
lighter blue dened ame at the burner head. A
yellow ame or tips indicate a rich fuel mixture,
which can leave a black color or carbon on the
bottom of a pot or pan.
The cooktop operates under the following
conditions:
1. The primary LP-Gas valve on the LP
tank is open.
2. The battery cut-out switch is on.
