Disassembly Procedures

!
To avoid risk of electrical shock, serious personal
injury or death. Make sure oven is properly grounded
and polarized. Always disconnect electrical supply
before servicing unit.

Maintop Removal

Models RTP302, RTP304, RTP305, RTP307
These models feature a hinged maintop to make
cleaning easier. The hinge is on the rear of the maintop.
Lift from the front to access the burner box. Some
models feature a support rod that holds the maintop up.
For complete maintop removal proceed as follows:
1. Verify that maintop and grates are cool.
2. Remove all grates.
3. Raise the maintop to about a 60 degree angle.
4. Lift maintop up from hinges.
Models RTP203 and RTP201
These models are not provided with rear hinges. To
remove the maintop proceed as follows:
1. Verify maintop and grates are cool.
2. Remove burner bowls and grates.
3. Lift off control knobs.
4. Unlock maintop by releasing catches located in each
burner opening.
5. Grasp maintop between burner openings. Lift upward
to remove maintop.

Burner and Related Parts

Burners

1. Verify that maintop and grates are cool.
2. Remove maintop or raise it to access burners.
3. If necessary, remove Phillips head shipping screws
securing burners to mounting brackets at burner
heads.
4. Lift burner up and away from control valve.
5. When replacing burners, verify each is properly
positioned with respect to ignition flash tubes and
control valve. Test for proper ignition of burner.

Burner Control Valve

1. Turn off gas and electrical supply.
2. Remove grates, maintop and burners.
3. Remove actuator switch assembly on applicable
models.
4. Unscrew valve from manifold.

To avoid risk of electrical shock, serious personal
injury or death. Make sure oven is properly grounded
and polarized. Always disconnect electrical supply
before servicing unit.
NOTE: Whenever a component or tubing with threaded
ends or fittings is serviced or replaced, apply a
good quality, gas-resistant pipe dope or sealant
compound to the threads to minimize gas leaks.
A sealing tape compatible with LP gas may also
be used to seal joints.
Electronic Spark Module: Models RTP306 and
RTP307
The automatic pilotless ignition (spark) system is
employed in models RTP306 and RTP307. It consists of
an electronic spark module, burner spark ignitors and an
actuator switch assembly on the control valves. When
any gas control valve is turned to ignition position
(LIGHT), gas flows to the burner. A cam on the control
activates the spring loaded actuator and switch,
completing a 120 VAC power circuit to the spark module.
A separate lever switch is found on thermoset control
valves, connected in parallel with the main actuator
switch. These valves operate differently than the
standard valve with respect to rotation of the control
shaft.
When power is applied to the module, a repeated
momentary high voltage is fed through the output leads
to the spark gap ignitors located between the burner
flash tubes. The resultant spark across the gap ignites
the gas present at the flash tube and the burner. The
spark module is mounted inside the electrical box on the
bottom rear of the assembly.
