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. After top burners have been on for a period of time, you
may experience a popping sound when the burner is turned off. This is
normal and does not create a safety hazard.
COOKWARE
Acquire cookware that fits the RV environment. Proper cookware will reduce
cooking time, using less energy with better cooking results.
ACCEPTABLE
• 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
damage to the burner grate, burners, and cook top. Including the following
cookware - 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.

normal and does not create a safety hazard.
STORAGE
Dry all surfaces and burner box, then spray surfaces with an oil base
substance to preserve the surface from rusting during long term
storage. Wipe off oil coating before reuse.
Excessive heat will cause grates and tops to lose their protective coating,
becoming unsightly in appearance. Airflow is important for cooking, the
warmed air must be allowed to mix with air around the burner.
COOKWARE
Use cookware that fits the RV environment, Proper cookware will reduce
cooking time, use less energy, and produce better cooking results.
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
properly. 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
DO NOT
assorted pans or block air
passage with an oversized
pan.
