IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Read all instructions before using this appliance.

The following instructions are based on safety

considerations and must be strictly followed to eliminate

the potential risks of fire, electric shock, or personal injury.

Have your appliance installed and properly grounded by a

qualified installer according to the installation instructions.

Have the installer show you the location of the gas shut off

valve and how to shut it off in an emergency.

Always disconnect power to appliance before servicing.

To ensure proper operation and avoid possible injury or

damage to unit do not attempt to adjust, repair, service, or

replace any part of your appliance unless it is specifically

recommended in this book. All other servicing should be

referred to a qualified installer or servicer.

TO PREVENT FIRE OR SMOKE DAMAGE

Be sure all packing materials are removed from the

appliance before operating it.

Keep area around appliance clear and free from combustible

materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and

materials.

If appliance is installed near a window, proper precautions

should be taken to prevent curtains from blowing over

burners.

Never leave any items unattended on the cooktop. The hot

air from the vent may ignite flammable items and may

increase pressure in closed containers which may cause

them to burst.

Many aerosol-type spray cans are EXPLOSIVE when

exposed to heat and may be highly flammable. Avoid their

use or storage near an appliance.

Many plastics are vulnerable to heat. Keep plastics away

from parts of the appliance that may become warm or hot.

Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop as they may melt

or soften if left too close to the vent or a lighted surface

burner.

To eliminate the hazard of reaching over hot surface

burners, cabinet storage should not be provided directly

above a unit. If such storage is provided, it should be limited

to items which are used infrequently and which are safely

stored in an area subjected to heat from an appliance.

Temperatures may be unsafe for some items, such as

volatile liquids, cleaners or aerosol sprays.

IN CASE OF FIRE

Turn off appliance and ventilating hood to avoid spreading

the flame. Extinguish flame then turn on hood to remove

smoke and odor.

Use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher or baking soda

to smother fire or flame. Never use water on a grease fire.

If fire is in the oven or broiler pan, smother by closing oven

door.

If fire is in a pan on the surface burner, cover pan. Never

attempt to pick up or move a flaming pan.

CHILD SAFETY

Never leave children alone or unsupervised near the

appliance when it is in use or is still hot. Children should

never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.

Children must be taught that the appliance and utensils in

it can be hot. Let hot utensils cool

in a safe place, out of reach of

small children. Children should be

taught that an appliance is not a

toy. Children should not be

allowed to play with controls or

other parts of the unit.

CAUTION: Never store items of

interest to children in cabinets

above an appliance or on the

backguard of a range. Children

climbing on the appliance or on the

appliance door to reach items

could be seriously injured.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

ABOUT YOUR APPLIANCE

To prevent potential hazard to the user and damage to the

appliance, never use ap-

pliance as a space heater

to heat or warm a room.

Also, do not use the

cooktoporovenasa

storage area for food or

cooking utensils.

Do not obstruct the flow

of combustion and ven-

tilation air by blocking the

oven vent or air intakes. Restriction of air flow to the burner

prevents proper performance and increases carbon

monoxide emission to unsafe levels.

Avoid touching oven vent area while oven is on and for

several minutes after oven is turned off. Some parts of the

vent and surrounding area become hot enough to cause

burns. After oven is turned off, do not touch the oven vent or

surrounding areas until they have had sufficient time to cool.

CAUTION: Never use an

appliance as a step stool to

cabinets above. Misuse of

appliance doors or drawers,

such as stepping, leaning or

sitting on the door or drawer,

may result in possible tipping

of the appliance, breakage of

door, and serious injuries.

Do not touch a hot oven light bulb with a damp cloth as the

bulb could break. Should the bulb break, disconnect power

to the appliance before removing bulb to avoid electrical

shock.

PREPARED FOOD WARNING

Follow food manufacturer’s instructions. If a plastic frozen

food container and/or its cover distorts, warps, or is

otherwise damaged during cooking, immediately discard the

food and its container. The food could be contaminated.

COOKING SAFETY

Always place a pan on a surface burner before turning it on.

Be sure you know which knob controls which surface burner.

Make sure the correct burner is turned on and that the burner

has ignited. When cooking is completed, turn burner off

before removing pan to prevent exposure to burner flame.

Always adjust surface burner flame so that it does not extend

beyond the bottom edge of the pan. An excessive flame is

hazardous, wastes energy and may damage the appliance,

pan or cabinets above the appliance.

Never leave a surface cooking operation unattended

especially when using a

high heat setting or when

deep fat frying. Boilovers

cause smoking and

greasy spillovers may

ignite. Clean up greasy

spills as soon as

possible. Do not use high

heat for extended

cooking operations.

Never heat an unopened container on the surface burner or

in the oven. Pressure build-up may cause container to burst

resulting in serious personal injury or damage to the

appliance.

Use dry, sturdy pot holders. Damp pot holders may cause

burns from steam. Dish towels or other substitutes should

never be used as pot holders because they can trail across

hot surface burners and ignite or get caught on appliance

parts.

Always let quantities of hot fat used for deep fat frying cool

before attempting to move or handle.

Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials

accumulate in or near the appliance, hood or vent fan. Clean

hood frequently to prevent grease from accumulating on

hood or filter. When flaming foods under the hood, turn the

fan on.

Use caution when wearing garments made of flammable

material to avoid clothing

fires. Loose fitting or long

hanging-sleeved apparel

should not be worn while

cooking. Clothing may ignite

or catch utensil handles.

Always place oven racks in the desired positions while oven

is cool. Slide oven rack out to add or remove food, using dry

sturdy pot holders. Always avoid reaching into the oven to

add or remove food. If a rack must be moved while hot, use

a dry pot holder. Always turn the oven off at the end of

cooking.

Use care when opening the oven door. Let hot air or steam

escape before removing or replacing food.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

UTENSIL SAFETY

Use pans with flat bottoms and handles that are easily

grasped and stay cool. Avoid using unstable, warped, easily

tipped or loose handled pans. Pans that are heavy to move

when filled with food may also be hazardous.

Be sure utensil is large enough to properly contain food and

avoid boilovers. Pan size is particularly important in deep fat

frying. Be sure pan will accommodate the volume of food that

is to be added as well as the bubble action of fat.

To minimize burns, ignition of flammable materials and

spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil, do not

extend handles over

adjacent surface

burners. Always turn

pan handles toward the

side or back of the

appliance, not out into

the room where they

are easily hit or

reached by small

children.

Never let a pan boil dry as this could damage the utensil and

the appliance.

Follow the manufacturer’s directions when using oven

cooking bags.

Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, or

glazed utensils are suitable for cooktop or oven usage

without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature.

This appliance has been tested for safe performance using

conventional cookware. Do not use any devices or

accessories that are not specifically recommended in this

manual. Do not use eyelid covers for the surface units, stove

top grills, or add-on oven convection systems. The use of

devices or accessories that are not expressly recommended

in this manual can create serious safety hazards, result in

performance problems, and reduce the life of the

components of the appliance.

CLEANING SAFETY

Turn off all controls and wait for appliance parts to cool before

touching or cleaning them. Do not touch the burner grates or

surrounding areas until they have had sufficient time to cool.

Clean appliance with caution. Use care to avoid steam burns

if a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot surface.

Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot

surface.

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE AND

WARNING

The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement

Act of 1986 (Proposition 65) requires the Governor of

California to publish a list of substances known to the State

of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm, and

requires businesses to warn customers of potential

exposures to such substances.

Users of this appliance are hereby warned that the burning

of gas can result in low-level exposure to some of the listed

substances, including benzene, formaldehyde and soot, due

primarily to the incomplete combustion of natural gas or liquid

petroleum (LP) fuels. Properly adjusted burners will minimize

incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances can

also be minimized by properly venting the burners to the

outdoors by opening the windows and/or door in the room

where the appliance is located.

IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING PET

BIRDS. . .

Never keep pet birds in the kitchen or in rooms where the

fumes from the kitchen could reach. Birds have a very

sensitive respiratory system. Fumes released during an

oven self-cleaning cycle may be harmful or fatal to birds.

Fumes released due to overheated cooking oil, fat,

margarine and overheated non-stick cookware may be

equally harmful.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

USING THE COOKTOP

IGNITION SYSTEM

The surface burners will feature either matchlit ignition or

Piezo pilotless ignition. Be sure all control knobs are in the

OFF position before supplying gas to the appliance. Be sure

gas supply to appliance is on before lighting burner.

HOW TO LIGHT SURFACE BURNER

To prevent damage to the cooktop or pan:

S Never operate the surface burner without a pan in

place.

S Never allow a pan to boil dry.

S Never operate a surface burner on HIGH for

extended periods of time.

CAUTION: If the burner does not light within about 4

seconds or if the flame should go out during cooking, turn

the burner off. If gas has accumulated and a strong gas

odor is detected, open a window and wait 5 minutes for

the gas odor to disappear before relighting the burner.

If the appliance has not been operated for a period of time,

the surface burner may be difficult to light due to air in the gas

line.

SHUTDOWN INSTRUCTIONS

When the recreational vehicle is not in use or while traveling,

turn all knobs to the OFF position and turn off the main gas

supply.

USING THE COOKTOP

SELECTING FLAME SIZE

Use a HIGH flame setting to quickly bring liquids to a boil or

to begin a cooking operation. Then reduce to a lower setting

to continue cooking. Never leave food unattended when

using a HIGH flame setting.

Flame adjusted for HIGH setting.

An intermediate flame size is used to continue a cooking

operation. Food will not cook any faster when a higher

flame setting is used than needed to maintain a gentle

boil. Remember, water boils at the same temperature

whether boiling gently or vigorously.

Use LOW to simmer or keep foods at serving temperatures.

Flame adjusted for LOW setting.

If a knob is turned very quickly from the HI to the LOW

setting, the flame may go out, particularly if the burner is

cold. If this occurs, turn the knob to the OFF position. Wait

several seconds, then light the burner again.

ADJUSTING THE FLAME

Adjust the flame size so it

does not extend beyond

the edge of the cooking

utensil. This is for

personal safety and to

prevent possible damage

to the appliance, pan, or

cabinets above the

appliance. This also improves cooking efficiency.

COOKWARE CONSIDERATIONS

Cookware which extends more than one inch beyond the

grate, rests on two grates, or touches the cooktop will cause

a build up of heat and result in damage to the the burner

grate, burner and cooktop.

CAUTION: The maximum pan size is a 10-inch skillet.

To prevent damage to the cooktop and the burner valves,

do not use canners or oversized cookware. The pan

should not be more than one inch larger than the burner

grate.

Cookware, such as a wok with a support ring, which restricts

air circulation around the burner will cause heat to build up

and may result in damage to the burner grate, burner or

cooktop.

Foods cook faster when the cookware is covered because

more heat is retained. Lower the flame size when cookware

is covered. This also improves cooking efficiency.

The cooking performance is greatly affected by the type of

cookware used. Proper cookware will reduce cooking times,

use less energy and produce more even cooking results. For

best results use a heavy gauge metal pan with a smooth flat

bottom, straight sides and a tight fitting lid. Select a material,

such as aluminum or copper, that conducts heat quickly and

evenly.

USING THE OVEN

IGNITION SYSTEM

The oven features pilot ignition. Be sure all control knobs are

in the OFF position before supplying gas to the appliance.

Be sure gas supply to appliance is on before lighting pilot or

oven burner.

HOW TO LIGHT OVEN PILOT

If the appliance has not been operated for a period of time,

the oven pilot may be difficult to light due to air in the gas line.

To bleed air from the line, follow instructions from page 6

under the section “HOW TO LIGHT SURFACE BURNER”

where it specifically details how to bleed off air from the line.

To light oven pilot:

1. Be sure all controls are in

the OFF position.

2. Push in and turn the

OVEN knob to the PILOT

ON position.

3. Open the oven door, and

locate the oven pilot

(beneath the oven

bottom, on the left side of

the burner). While

pushing in the knob,

hold a match next to the

oven pilot (see

illustration) for 10-15

seconds or until a small

flame is visible without

needing to continue

pushing in the knob.

NOTE: A delay in the time it takes to light the pilot may

signal a need to bleed air from the line. Reference the

above paragraph “HOW TO LIGHT OVEN PILOT” for

detailed instructions.

4. Once the pilot is lit, leave the OVEN knob in the PILOT

ON position if you wish to use the oven.

The standing pilot will remain lit if the OVEN knob is left

in the PILOT ON position. If the OVEN knob is turned to

the OFF position, gas supply to the pilot will be turned off

and the standing pilot flame will extinguish.

OVEN CHARACTE RISTICS

Because each oven has its own personal baking

characteristics, do not expect that your new oven will

perform exactly like your previous oven. You may find that

the cooking times, oven temperatures, and cooking results

differ somewhat from your previous range. Allow a period of

adjustment. If you have questions concerning baking

results, please refer to pages 9, 10 and 11 for additional

information.

OVEN KNOB

The OVEN knob is used to select

and maintain the oven tem-

perature. Push in and turn this

knob just to the desired

temperature - not to a higher

temperature and then back. This

provides more accurate oven

temperatures.

Turn this knob to the PILOT ON

position if you wish to use the

oven. The oven standby pilot will remain lit. Turn the knob

to OFF if the oven will not be used or when traveling.

9215-294

SHUTDOWN INSTRUCTIONS

When the recreational vehicle is not in use or while traveling,

turn the OVEN knob to the OFF position and turn off the main

gas supply. This will turn off the oven pilot.

USING THE OVEN

HOW TO SET OVEN

1. When cool, position the rack in the oven.

2. Push in and turn the OVEN knob to the desired

temperature for baking or roasting or to BR (broil) for

broiling.

For baking: Selecting a temperature higher than desired

will NOT preheat the oven any faster, and may have a

negative effect on baking results.

For broiling: The OVEN knob can be turned to a lower

temperature (400 to 450°F) for broiling longer cooking

meats or poultry or if excessive smoking or splattering

occurs.

3. For baking: Place the food in the center of the oven,

allowing one to two inches between the utensil and the

oven walls.

For broiling: Place the broiler pan in the broiler area

directly below the oven burner.

When the oven is in use, the oven vent area may feel

warm or hot to the touch. Do not block this area or the vent

opening as this may affect cooking results.

4. Check the food for doneness at the minimum time in the

recipe. Cook longer if necessary.

5. Remove the food from the oven and turn the OVEN knob

to the PILOT ON or the OFF position.

PREHEATING

Preheating is necessary for baking. Turn the OVEN knob to

the desired temperature and allow about 10 to 15 minutes for

the oven to preheat.

Selecting a higher temperature will not shorten the preheat

time and may affect baking results. It is not necessary to

preheat for roasting or broiling.

USE OF ALUMINUM FOIL

Do not cover the oven bottom or the entire oven rack

with foil.

BAKING TIPS

Useareliablerecipeand accurately measure fresh

ingredients. Carefully follow directions for oven

temperature and cooking time. Preheat oven if recom-

mended.

Use the correct rack position. There are two or three rack

positions, depending on the model. Baking results may be

affected if the wrong rack position is used.

S Use the lower rack position for most baking. Use the

upper rack position for cookies or biscuits on a cookie

sheet .

S Top browning may be darker if food is located toward

the top of the oven.

S Bottom browning may be darker if food is located toward

the bottom of the oven.

Cookware material and size. Always use the type and size

of pan called for in the recipe. Cooking times or cooking

results may be affected if the wrong size is used.

The maximum recommended pan size is a 13 x 9 x

2-inch cake pan or a 14 x 10 x 2-inch cookie sheet.

S Shiny metal pan reflects heat away from the food,

produces lighter browning and a softer crust. Use shiny

pans for baking cakes or cookies. For optimum baking

results, bake cookies and biscuits on a flat cookie sheet.

If the pan has sides, such as a jelly roll pan, browning may

not be even.

S Dark metal pan or a pan with an anodized (dull)

bottom absorbs heat, produces darker browning and a

crisper crust. Use this type of pan for pies, pie crusts or

bread.

S If using oven-proof glassware,ordark pans such as

Baker’s Secret reduce the oven temperature by 25°F

except when baking pies or bread. Use the same baking

time as called for in the recipe.

Allow hot air to flow freely through the oven for optimum

baking results. Large pans or improper placement of pans

in the oven will block air flow and may result in uneven

browning. For optimum browning and even cooking results:

S Do not crowd a rack by placing several pans on a rack.

Also, do not block air flow by using too large of a pan.

S Allow one to two inches between the pan and the oven

walls.

Check the cooking progress at the minimum time. If

necessary, continue checking at intervals until the food is

done. If the oven door is opened too frequently, heat will

escape from the oven; this can affect baking results and

wastes energy.

USING THE OVEN

ROASTING TIPS

S Roasting is the method for cooking large, tender cuts of

meat uncovered, without adding moisture. Most meats

are roasted at 325°F. It is not necessary to preheat the

oven.

S Use tender cuts of meat weighing three pounds or more.

Some good choices are: Beef rib, ribeye, top round, high

quality tip and rump roast, pork loin roast, leg of lamb, veal

shoulder roast and cured or smoked hams.

S Season meat, if desired, either before or after roasting.

Rub into the surface of the roast if added before cooking.

S Place the meat fat-side-up on a rack in a shallow roasting

pan. Placing the meat on a rack holds it out of the

drippings, thus allowing better heat circulation for even

cooking. As the fat on top of the roast melts, the meat is

basted naturally, eliminating the need for additional

basting.

S The cooking time is determined by the weight of the meat

and the desired doneness. For more accurate results, use

a meat thermometer. Insert it so the tip is in the center of

the thickest part of the meat. It should not touch fat or

bone.

S Remove the roast from the oven when the thermometer

registers approximately 5°F below the doneness wanted.

As the meat stands, the temperature will rise.

NOTE: For more information about food safety, call

USDA’s Meat & Poultry Hotline at 1-800-535-4555. For

cooking information write to the National Live Stock and

Meat Board, 444 North Michigan Avenue, Chicago,

Illinois 60611.

BROILING TIPS

S Broiling is a method of cooking tender meats by direct

radiant heat. The cooking time is determined by the

distance between the meat and the oven burner, the

desired degree of doneness and the thickness of the

meat.

S Broiling requires the use of the broiler pan and insert. The

broiler insert must be in place to allow fat and liquid to

drain to the pan below to prevent spatters, smoke and

flare-ups. Improper use may cause grease fires.

S For easier clean up, line the broiler pan with foil and spray

the insert with a non-stick vegetable spray. Do not cover

the broiler insert with aluminum foil as this prevents fat

from draining into pan below.

S Trim excess fat and slash remaining fat to help keep meat

from curling and to reduce smoking and spattering.

Season meat after cooking.

S It is possible to broil longer cooking foods such as pork

chops at a lower temperature to prevent overbrowning.

Turn the knob to 400° or 450° F, rather than BROIL, for low

temperature broiling. Reduce the broil temperature to 400

to 450°F if excessive smoking or splattering occurs.

S Meat should be turned once about halfway through its

cooking time. Check the doneness by cutting a slit in the

meat near the center to check the color.

S See Care and Cleaning Chart on page 15 for instructions

on cleaning the broiler pan and insert.

1. Insert the slot on the right rear corner of the cooktop

flange over the tab on the burner box wall.

2. Lower the rear of the cooktop into place, inserting the slot

on the left rear corner of the cooktop flange over the tab

on the burner box wall.

3. Lower the top into place and apply slight pressure at the

two front corners to secure the cooktop in place.

Due to certain atmospheric conditions, the cooktop on your

appliance may show signs of rust on the underneath side.

This is especially true in areas of high humidity and salt air

areas.

To help eliminate this condition, caution should be taken to

make sure that the underneath side of the main top is kept

dry. This is especially important in areas of high humidity

where moisture accumulates. If you detect signs of rust, we

have found it helpful to spray the underneath side with a coat

of high-heat tested rustolium or silicone paint.

CAUTION: Remove top from appliance and spray in a

well vented area.

BURNER GRATES

CAUTION: Do not operate a surface burner without a

pan on the grate. The porcelain finish on the grate may

chip without a pan to absorb the intense heat from the

burner flame.

To install grates:

1. Place grate on cooktop, locating each of the four grate

legs on top of the four black plastic grommets.

2. Press down at each corner to secure burner grate to

cooktop.

3. To prevent damage to the grommets, do not press down

on all four corners at the same time.

4. Install one side of the grate then install the other side.

MAINTENANCE

SEALED SURFACE BURNERS,

select models

The porcelain on the burner is durable but over time and with

use may gradually lose its shine.

The three sealed surface burners are secured to the cooktop

and are NOT designed to be removed by the consumer.

Select models feature one special POWER BOOST sealed

burner located at the front. Use this burner to quickly bring

water to a boil.

Clean burner cap after each use especially if a spillover

occurs. A soiled burner may result in improper ignition or an

uneven flame. When cleaning the sealed surface burner,

use care to prevent damage to the ignitor. If a cleaning cloth

should catch the ignitor, it could be damaged or broken.

If burner does not light:

1. The surface burner will not light if the ignitor is damaged,

broken, soiled or wet. The burner will also not light if the

ports, especially the small port located directly below the

ignitor, are blocked.

2. Check to see if the burner ports are clogged. If so, clean

with a straight pin or small metal paper clip.

Your RV range or cooktop will feature three surface burners.

Each burner is secured in place with a screw. When burner is

cool, remove the screw before removing the burner. When

re-installing the surface burner be sure to replace the screw.

If the surface burner does not light, check to see if the burner

ports are clogged. If so, clean with a straight pin or small

metal paper clip. Be sure the standing pilot is lit. Check to be

sure that the burner is correctly installed.

To install surface burner: The air shutter end on the burner

should fit over the orifice hood.

MAINTENANCE

OVEN DOOR

Do not place excessive weight on an open oven door or

stand on an open oven door as, in some cases, it could

cause the range to tip over, break the door, or cause serious

injury to the user.

When opening the oven door, allow steam and hot air to

escape before reaching in oven to check, add or remove

food.

OVEN RACK

Your RV range features one oven rack with a choice of two or

three rack positions. The oven rack is designed with a safety

lock-stop position to keep the rack from accidently coming

completely out of the oven when pulling the rack out to add or

remove food. The rack also features two tabs to keep the

rack from rattling during travel.

CAUTION: Do not attempt to change the rack position

when the oven is hot.

To remove:

1. Be sure rack is cool.

2. Pull the rack straight out until it stops. This releases the

two tabs on the sides of the rack.

3. Tilt the front end of the rack up, then push the rack to the

back of the oven.

4. Lift the rear of the rack up, then remove it from the oven.

To replace:

1. Place the oven rack in the oven, on top of the rack

supports.

2. Push the rack to the back of the oven to allow the rack to

drop into place.

3. Pull the rack forward to the stop position.

4. Then, as you push the rack back, lower the two tabs

under the rack support. This will anchor the rack into

place and prevent it from rattling during travel.

OVEN BOTTOM

Protect the oven bottom against excessive spillovers,

especially acid or sugary spillovers, as they may discolor the

porcelain. Use the correct size cooking utensil to avoid

boilovers. Never place utensils or aluminum foil directly on

the oven bottom.

To remove:

1. When cool, push the oven bottom toward the back of the

oven against the springs on the back wall.

This will release the oven bottom from the two tabs on the

oven walls.

2. Then lift the oven bottom up and out of the oven.

To replace:

1. Position the oven bottom so the holes on the flange are

located at the front of the oven.

2. Slide the oven bottom to the back of the oven until the rear

edge is inserted into the bracket across the back of the

oven.

3. Then, push the oven bottom back against the springs and

lower into place.

4. Be sure each slot on the side-front corner securely fits

over the tabs on the oven wall. This will lock the oven

bottom into place and prevent it from rattling during travel.
