Oven
To turn on the oven, use the control knob on the far left of the stove to start the flow of gas (depress
and turn to left, just like the stovetop burners). Insert the propane igniter into the access hole in the
oven pan or underneath the oven pan (either way works) and light the oven burner. Again, after the

fridge on batteries so long as the charge level doesn't get too low (12V or less).

running on batteries, the microwave runs off the inverter.
Activate the inverter at the electrical panel and turn on the switch for the AC outlets. When running on
batteries, use the microwave for simple, short cooking: reheating, making popcorn, melting butter. An
alternative is to start the engine and run it in neutral at 1000-1500 RPM while cooking with the
