atwood LP GAS RANGE & SLIDE-IN COOKTOPS RV, CV, RA, CA (34) - Manual (Page 2)

3. Cabinet dimensions needed for each model are shown in CABINET &
COUNTER CUT OUT CHART. The cabinet cut-out must be located
with respect to the minimum clearances to combustible materials as
noted. When planning the location, consider curtains or other com-
bustible materials installed around the range or cooktop.
Note: For models having suffix “N” (i.e. RA1734 BGPN) Countertops with
an overhang must be notched as shown in the illustrations. The notch
should be 7/16˝ minimum, both sides.
ƽ
WARNING
FIRE AND/OR EXPLOSION
• KNIFE RACK INSTALLATION - Gas supply pipe must be installed with clear-
ance from knives contacting or cutting gas lines.
4. When the cabinet has been prepared according to the dimensions
given and the gas line is in place, remove the range or cooktop
from its packaging and position the range or cooktop in the opening.
5. Verify the range or cooktop is level from side to side and front to rear.
6. Remove the cooking grate(s), slide the range top back about 1/8”, then
lift up on one of the front corners ( FIG 3) to remove the range top.
7. Fasten the range or cooktop in place with wood screws (not supplied)
through holes in burner box. Care should be taken to not force the
range mounting flanges to bend, which may cause the range or cook-
top to be mounted too low in the cabinet cutout.
ƽ
WARNING
FIRE
• Gas line material inside the burner box must be rated for a mini-
mum of 300°F operation.
8. Make the gas connection. All openings in the cabinetry around the
gas line must be closed at time of installation. RA, CA series with
electronic ignition: Complete the electrical connections as shown in
the WIRING DIAGRAM. For galley slide-out applications, it is highly
recommended that the negative 12 volt connection be connected
directly to the battery. Voltage supply must be between 9 and 13
VDC. Appliance electrical rating is 12VDC, 0.6A during sparking.
ƽ
CAUTION
PRODUCT DAMAGE HAZARD
• Connect to 12VDC service only.
•
DO NOT connect to a circuit fused for more than 3 amps.
• DO NOT hi-pot range unless electronic ignition system has been
disconnected.
9. Turn on the gas supply.
ƽ
WARNING
EXPLOSION OR FIRE
• DO NOT use matches, candles or other sources of ignition to test
fittings and gas lines for leaks.
10. Check all connections for gas leaks using a non-corrosive leak detection
fluid. Do not use a soap and water solution. Leak test in excess of 8
oz. per square inch (1/2 psi) of air pressure will invalidate warranty.
11. Replace range top ( FIG 4-5). Range/cooktop is now ready for operation.
TOP BURNER OPERATION
ƽ
WARNING
BURN INJURY, FIRE AND/OR EXPLOSION
• Use range or cooktop only for use as described in this manual.
•
DO NOT leave children alone or unattended in area where range or cook-
top is in use. Never allow anyone to sit, stand, or climb on any part of
the range cooktop. They could be burned or injured.
• DO NOT store things children might want above the range or cooktop.
Children could be burned or injured while climbing on it.
• DO NOT wear loose or hanging garments when using the range or cooktop.
They could ignite if they touch an open flame and you could be burned.
• Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may
result in burns from steam. Do not let the potholder touch an open flame.
DO NOT use a towel or bulky cloth for a potholder. It could catch on fire.
• DO NOT heat unopened containers. They could explode. The hot contents
may cause burns and container particles may cause injury.
• DO NOT use range or cooktop for warming or heating vehicle. You could
be burned or injured, a fire could start, or deplete oxygen in the vehicle.
• DO NOT store flammable materials on, in, or near the range or cooktop.
Any fumes can create an explosion and/or fire hazard.
ƽ
WARNING
BURN INJURY, FIRE AND/OR EXPLOSION
• All control knobs must be turned to OFF when not in use. Fire and/or
burning hazard may occur if a burner is accidentally left ON.
• DO NOT operate range or cooktop if it is damaged or not working properly.
• Know where your vehicle’s main LP gas shutoff is located.
• Verify sufficient gas supply before attempting to light any top burner. Air in
the gas supply line will significantly delay burner ignition, and a burner may
light unexpectedly as the air in the line clears out and is replaced by LP
gas; this unexpected ignition may burn you. Air may be introduced into the
supply line when the vehicle gas bottle is replaced, during servicing of other
gas appliances, etc.
• If any burner should extinguish (after initially lighting or due to accidental
blow-out), turn all burner knobs clockwise ۖ to OFF and WAIT FIVE (5)
MINUTES before again attempting to light the burner.
• DO NOT touch top burners, burner grates, or other areas near top burners
during and after use. Do not let clothing or other flammable materials to
contact top burners or areas near top burners until they have had sufficient
time to cool.
• Make sure the utensils you use are large enough to contain food and avoid
boil overs and spillovers. Heavy splattering or spillovers left on the cooktop
can ignite and burn you.
• DO NOT drop pans on the porcelain surface. Cracks or chips in the
porcelain surface may result.
• Be sure that glass cooking utensils are safe for use on the cooktop. Only
certain kinds of glass utensils are suitable for surface or top burner use
without breaking due to the sudden changes in temperature.
• Never leave top burners unattended. A boil over could result and cause
smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite.
• Turn pan handles inward, but not over other top burners. This reduces the
chance of burns due to bumping pan.
• Grease is flammable. Never allow grease to collect around top burners or
on cooktop surface. Wipe spillovers immediately.
• DO NOT use water on grease fires. Never pick up a flaming pan. Smother a
flaming pan with a tight-fitting lid or cookie sheet. Flaming grease outside of
the pan can be extinguished with baking soda or a multipurpose dry chemi-
cal or foam-type fire extinguisher.
• Use care when lighting a top burner by hand. If the burner lights unex-
pectedly, or your hand is close to the burner, you may be burned.
• Burner flame should not extend beyond the edge of the cooking utensil.
The flame could burn you and cause poor cooking results.
1. Check that gas is on at shutoff valve.
2.
LIGHTING Top Burners:
a. All burner controls operate counter-clockwise ۗ and must be
pressed inward (toward the cooktop) to turn ON or LITE. Do not
attempt to light more than one burner at a time.
b. IMMEDIATELY light the burner by holding a lit match or a hand-held
spark igniter designed for this purpose near the burner ports.
c. To extinguish the top burner flame, turn the appropriate burner knob
clockwise ۖ to OFF.
LIGHTING Top Burners with spark ignition: (
FIG 4-5)
a. Turn the appropriate burner knob counter-clockwise ۗ to ON or LITE.
Do not attempt to light more than one burner at a time.
b. Turn the SPARK knob clockwise ۖ one “click”. If the burner fails to
light, continue turning the SPARK knob clockwise ۖ until the burner
lights.
c. To extinguish the top burner flame, turn the appropriate burner knob
clockwise ۖ to OFF.
LIGHTING Top Burners with electronic ignition:
a. Turn the appropriate burner knob counterclockwise ۗ to ON or LITE.
This will automatically activate the ignition system, and all burners will
begin to spark repeatedly. This is the “clicking” sound you will hear.
b. The burner will light within five (5) seconds. Once the burner is lit, turn
the knob counterclockwise ۗ to the desired setting.
c. To extinguish the top burner flame, turn the appropriate burner knob
clockwise ۖ to OFF.
d. If 12 VDC power is not available to the ignition module for any reason,
top burners may be lit manually. See instructions in “Lighting Top Burners”.
