COOKING APPLIANCE INTRODUCTION
This Service and Training Manual provided by the Suburban
Products Factory Service Department is intended to be used
by qualied service technicians only as a valuable tool in
terms of product identication, troubleshooting and diagnosis
of service issues, and as an outline of information concerning
proper procedures for ling warranty service claims.
Included in this manual are product and component
identication descriptions, sequence of operation information,
maintenance and service recommendations. In addition to
the information available in this manual, other resources
for servicing Suburban RV appliances include our website -
www.AIRXCEL.com, our Factory Service Department Hotline at
423-775-2131 EXT 7102, and our Customer Service Department
at 423-775-2131 EXT 7101.
Having an understanding of the appliance sequence of
operation and a thorough comprehension of how the
individual components function is of the utmost importance
to ensure proper troubleshooting and diagnosis. Another
point of emphasis is the adherence to proper installation
which includes variables such as gas pressure, along with
constant measurable factors such as the compliance to the
physical installation tolerances and clearances. This manual
is designed to assist service technicians in making the correct
diagnosis e󰀩ciently.
Proper maintenance and service of an appliance is of the
utmost importance. Failure to keep the appliance clean and
well maintained is a signicant contributing factor in component
breakdown and premature failure of the appliance.

piece provided SHOULD be used in conjunction with the clamping mechanism
(Refer to Figure 4B).
8. Route gas line and connect the 3/8" male ared tting.
NOTE: Be sure to hold the tting at the end of the manifold with a wrench when
tightening the gas connection. Failure to hold tting secure could result in a gas
leak due to tting being damaged.
CAUTION
It is imperative that the cabinet in which the cook top is placed be
separatedfromotherappliancessothatthecombustionairsupply
to the top burners can not be a󰀨ected in any way by any forced-air
heatingapplianceoritsreturnairsystemorbyanyothersourceof
positive or negative air pressure.Anegative air pressure created
by another forced air appliance may draw the ame down around
the top burners and into the cook top resulting in damage to the
burners and cook top, as well as possible personal injury and/or
damage to vehicle. A positive draft could cause the burner ame
to lift-o󰀨 the burner and go out resulting in an uncontrolled escape
of gas. Whenever the gas fumes reach an open ame or another
ignition source, an explosion and/or re will occur resulting in
property damage, personal injury and/or loss of life.
9. Be sure all openings in the cabinets around the gas line are sealed at time of
installation.
10. Be sure burner knobs are in “OFF” position. Turn on gas supply. Check all
connections for leaks according to the manufacturer's instructions. Ensure that
the gas connection point is accessible with the appliance installed.
WARNING
Never check for leaks with an open ame. Apply a soap and
water solution to all joints to see if bubbles are formed.
NOTE: The appliance and its individual shuto󰀨 must be disconnected from the gas
supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in
excess of ½ PSIG.
11. If installation of this product is in a portable counter top, the following additional
guidelines must be followed:
a. Portable counter top is provided by installer and must be able to support a
minimum weight of 20 lbs.
b. OEM must provide a label placed on the counter top that clearly states the
maximum weight that can be added to the portable counter top after installation.
(This should take into account the weight of the cooking unit - 20 lbs.).
FOR EXAMPLE: Mounting bracket used is rated for 100 lbs. OEM should
weigh fabricated counter top. Subtract weight of counter top (i.e. 20 lbs.) and
weight of cooking unit (20 lbs.) from 100 lbs. The weight label should say no
more than 60 lbs can be put on the counter top.
c. The surface material for the counter top must be rated for a minimum of 200°F
continuous operation temperature with the maximum weight applied.
d. Minimum clearances from combustible walls above and below the counter top
must be adhered to during operation.
e. The OEM must provide a warning label placed on the counter top that requires
the unit to be cooled a minimum of 30 minutes after use before storing.
f. During storage, a clearance of 1" must be maintained from the top surface of
the unit.
g. NOTE: The gas must be turned "OFF" and disconnected when stored.
12. Appliance commissioning - installer to check for correct burner test point pressure
with at least 50% of cooktop burners operating, and any other appliance in
operation. Verify proper ignition of all burners.
13. Check all connections for gas leaks with soap and water. DO NOT use a naked
ame for detecting leaks. Ignite all burners both individually and concurrently to
ensure correct operation of gas valves, burners and ignition. Turn gas valves to
low ame position and observe stability of the ame for each burner individually
and concurrently. When satised with the appliance, please instruct the user on
the correct method of operation. In case the appliance fails to operate correctly
after all checks have been carried out, refer to the authorized service provider in
your area.
14. Your Suburban Drop-in Cook top is now ready for operation. Before operating,
read the safety information and operating instructions contained in this manual.
RECOMMENDED PAN SIZE
MINIMUM MAXIMUM
6.25" 8.75"
15. To prevent damage to the cook top, top burners, or top grate, never operate a top
burner without a pan in place. The top burners should not be operated on high for
an extended period of time.
Use the high ame setting to begin, then reduce the ame to a lower setting to continue
cooking. Never use cookware which extends beyond one inch of the grate, or rests
over two operating top burners. This will cause excessive heat build-up which results
in damage to the grate, top burner, and cook top.
