center of the burner. Rotate the top downward making sure that
all three burner tubes fit up into the burner caps (
may be made easier by using a side to side motion when rotating
the top down. Once the tubes are up into the burner caps push
backwards on the top until the bracket on the front of the top fits
into the notch in the front of the control panel (
3. To remove burner grates:
a. RV and CV Models - simply lift grate up and remove. Replace by
placing two legs at a time into the retaining grommets.
b. RA & CA Models - lift grate up by rotating up away from center of
stove (fig 2). Replace by placing legs into silicone retaining grom-
met and rotating back down on cooktop.
Clean all surfaces quickly after boil over or spillovers. Use a dry towel or
cloth to soak up spills.
RANGE MAINTENANCE & CARE INSTRUCTIONS
CARE OF PORCELAIN
The grates and surface of the cook tops are coated with porcelain. Porcelain is
a glass/ceramic coating glazed to the surface of the metal. Porcelain is
designed to provide a surface that withstands high temperatures, has an
attractive appearance and is easy to care for and clean.
UNACCEPTABLE - WHICH WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY
• NEVER use steel wool, abrasive cleaners, or acid type cleaners such as
chlorine bleach or dish detergents with lemon fruit acid on any part of your
cook top or grate system.
• drop pans on the cook top surface, you may crack or chip the
DO NOT
porcelain surface.
Should the porcelain become cracked, chipped or affected by excessive heat,
the porcelain surface will become unsightly and its effectiveness will be reduced.
GENERAL COOKING INSTRUCTIONS
To quickly bring liquids to a boil or to begin a cooking procedure use a high
flame setting. Reduce the flame to a lower setting to continue cooking. using a
higher flame setting than is necessary to maintain a gentle boil will not cook
food more quickly.
COOKWARE
Acquire cookware that fits the RV environment. Proper cookware will reduce
cooking time, using less energy with better cooking results.
• A heavy gauge (aluminum or copper) metal pan with a smooth flat bottom
(no more than 10" diameter), straight sides, and a tight fitting lid.
• Cover pan with a lid, food cooks faster when covered, because more heat
is retained.
• Lowering flame size, increases cooking efficiency.
• Use cookware with appropriate utensils.
UNACCEPTABLE - WHICH WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY
Oversized cookware causes a build up of excessive heat, which results in dam-
age to the burner grate, burners, and cook top. Including the following cook-
ware - but not limited to:
• Griddles
• Any cookware that extends beyond 1" of the grate edge.
• Any cookware that comes into contact with the cook top.
• Woks with support rings which restrict air circulation around the burners.
Excessive heat will cause grates and tops to lose their protective coating,
becoming unsightly in appearance. Airflow is important for cooking,

OVEN HEAT CONTROL AND GENERAL USE
PREHEATING OVEN
For best results, preheat the oven for 15 minutes before use. For baking, do
not select a higher than required temperature to preheat the oven faster, it may
have a negative effect on baking results.
AIR CIRCULATION
Warmed air must circulate freely throughout the oven for food to cook proper-
ly. To prevent undercooked or burned food:
• cover or block ventilation holes in the oven broiler shelf
DO NOT
(shelf above the burner).
• cover the bottom of the oven with aluminum foil to catch "over flow".
DO NOT
• cover oven racks
DO NOT
with aluminum foil.
• Place the food to be baked
in the center of the oven
with 1"-2" inches space
from the oven wall on all
sides allowing at least 1"-
2" of space on all sides of
the container.
• crowd the oven with
