Instructions for safety
• Before using this appliance, one should remove all tape and
packaging. Properly dispose of the carton and plastic bag after
unpacking the appliance. Never allow children to play with the
packaging material.
• This appliance should be installed properly by a qualied
technician, in accordance with local and state regulations and law.
• Never modify or alter the appliance by removing screws, anti-tip
brackets, leveling legs, panels or any other part of the product.
• Do not store objects that could be of interest for children in
the cabinets above the appliance. A child could attempt to climb
onto the appliance to reach these items and could be harmed or
seriously injured.

• Do NOT use this cooktop as a space heater to warm a room, as
this may cause carbon monoxide poisoning and overheating of
the cooktop.
• Never cover the rack completely with materials like aluminum foil

DO NOT USE WATER OR FLOUR!
!
WARNING

Gas leaks may occur in the system and result in dangerous
conditions. In some situations, a gas leak may not be detectable
by smell. Gas suppliers recommend you purchase and install a
UL approved gas detector. These detectors should be installed in
accordance to the manufacturer instructions.
• Do NOT use wet or damp potholders, only use dry potholders.
Do NOT let the potholders touch hot or heating burners.
• Do NOT use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of a potholder.
• Do NOT heat unopened food containers as the pressure of heat
or steam could buildup. This may cause the container to rupture or
explode and could cause harm or serious injury.
CAUTION: Never attempt to utilize the cooktop during a power
failure. In the event the power fails during use, always shut off
the cooktop, as your appliance may turn on unsupervised as the
power restores.

Instructions for cooktop usage:
• Using the correct ame size: Flame should be adjusted so that it
does not exceed beyond the edge of your utensils such as a pot
or pan. Undersized utensils may expose a portion of the burner
and ame, which may result in the combustion of fabric or clothing
if they make contact with the ame. Using correctly sized pots or
pans will improve efciency and safety.
• Do not use stove top grills on a sealed gas burner. Doing so
may cause incomplete combustion, which may result in carbon
monoxide poisoning.
• Please memorize the knobs and their corresponding burners
which they control. Always place a pan on the burner before starting
a ame. And always turn off the burner before removing the pan.
• Always turn the knob all the way to the “Light” mark when igniting
the top burners. Always then check to see if ames are visible,
ensuring that the burner is lit.
• Do NOT face pot or pan handles outward. They should always be
facing inward but not directly over another ame. This practice can
reduce the risk of serious burns, spillage, or even the combustion
of ammable items or materials; in the event there is accidental
contact with the handle.
• Do NOT leave the top burners on a high heat setting unattended.
Failure to supervise can result in a boil over which can cause
smoke or a grease re.
• Protective Sheets: Never use aluminum foil to cover the burner
pans. Improper use or installation of these sheets and liners can
increase the risk of electrical shock or re.
• NEVER use a searing grill on the cooktop: Searing grills are not
designed for use on this cooktop. The utilization of a searing grill
can cause a re.

• NEVER USE A DECORATIVE BURNER COVER
In the event that a burner is turned on accidentally, the covers could
become too hot, could possibly melt, or combust. This can also
result in damage to the cooktop from overheating and can cause
ignition and combustion problems.
• Cooking utensils that are glazed: Please only use certain types
of ceramic, glass, or glazed utensils that are designed for use on a
cooktop. Avoid the use of these utensils when possible.
Cleaning Instructions
You should clean your cooktop regularly, and keep all parts grease
free to prevent re. Clean all grease lters and exhaust fan vents.
Never allow grease to build up on lter or hood as grease buildup
could ignite. Turn on hood fan when cooking under hood.
Installing your appliance
The installation of your cooktop MUST conform with state or local
laws and codes. In the absence of codes and laws, please use the
standard for RV’s (NFPA 1192/ANSl)
When installing this cooktop, you must adhere to the written
instructions in this guide. No representative, agent, or employee
of the manufacturer RECPRO or any other person(s) has
authorization to do any kind of modications, provisions/edits, or
changes.

Igniting Gas Cooktop
Electronically:
1. Ensure all control knobs are in
their OFF positions.
2. Ensure the main gas tank valve
is OPEN.
3. Turn the desired control knob counterclockwise to HI setting, DO
NOT LIGHT more than one burner simultaneously.
4. Immediately after the control knob is set, press the knob until the
burner lights. Fig.9
Turning the gas cooktop ame OFF:
To turn the burner ame off, push and turn the control knob
clockwise until the knob is in the OFF position. If you travel and
need to refuel your gas tank, ALWAYS turn the tank valve off.
Useful information on proper ame for burner:
Gas burners will tend to burn blue, if the ratio of fuel to air is
adjusted properly.
Burner ames that burn yellow on the tip of the ame (over 1
inch) is a sign that the burner is not receiving enough air for
the combustion of gas. If the tip of the ame, is more yellow in
appearance, this could indicate that the burners air shutter
(or Venturi) needs to be adjusted, so that they can
produce more air.
Please be aware of any
carbon or soot deposits
that may build up on the
burner as this too will
affect the burners ability
to cook evenly and
properly.
FIG. 9

ALWAYS PERFORM A GAS LEAK CHECK BEFORE USING GAS
COOKTOP!
Before operating the gas cooktop, always perform an analysis or
check for a gas leak. DO NOT use gas cooktop until the leak test is
preformed and conrmed there are no gas leak indications.
- If there is a gas leak detected, replace the defective part
recommended by the manufacturer or tighten the loose joint
properly.
BEFORE TESTING FOR GAS LEAK
1. Ensure gas cooktop controls are in their OFF positions.
2. Never test for leaks with any open ames present.
3. Do not smoke when testing for gas leaks.
4. Use a soapy solution to detect gas leaks. If there are
bubbles present, there is a gas leak.
RISK OF PRODUCT DAMAGE
• If the control knob is set to the LIGHT position, DO NOT COOK
as damage may occur to the ignition module and the burner
electrodes.
• DO NOT LET children or pets play near, at, or around gas
cooktop. ALWAYS check cooktop before lighting.

Sanitation & Upkeep
• Ensure all control knobs are in OFF position before cleaning.
Ensure the cook-top and all components relating to the gas
Cooktop are cooled off before touching or cleaning.
• When cleaning the cooktop, only use a cleaner specically
designed for cooktops. Ensure proper usage of the cleaner by
following the cooktop cleaners instructions thoroughly.
• If there is a spill on the cooktop, grate(s), burner caps, or any
other component of the gas cooktop, clean the spill right away
(make sure the cooktop is cooled off) as leaving any spill can result
in the discoloration or staining of your cooktop or stainless steel.
• Always use caution when cleaning, especially around the burners.
If caution is not used, you may catch the metal igniter electrode on
your cleaning item (such as your sponge or washcloth, etc.) which
can damage or break the metal igniter electrode. If the metal igniter
electrode is damaged, the igniter may not ignite.
• If you wish to clean or wash porcelain surfaces, you must allow
the areas to cool beforehand. Hot porcelain can crack and can also
burn esh.
• The best way to clean porcelain surfaces, stainless steel surfaces,
painted surfaces, burner grates, plastic items, or any other items
relating to the gas cooktop is to use a mild soapy water solution.
• DO NOT USE bleach.
DO NOT USE rust removers.
• DO NOT USE steel wool. Only use non abrasive pads such as the
soft side of a sponge or a soft washcloth.
• DO NOT USE any abrasive, gritty, or acid-type like cleaners.

• DO NOT BLOCK air vents
• DO NOT STORE ammable liquids or vapors (such as gasoline)
or any other combustible equipment or materials near, at, or around
the gas cooktop.
• DO NOT USE any metallic or wire brush to clean any components
relating to the cooktop. Some wire or metallic brushes lose their
bristles and these bristles could get stuck in the burner ports or
other small crevices and could result in an explosion or a re.
• DO NOT ALLOW food that contains acids such as: vinegar, citrus
juices (lemon, lime, grapefruit, etc), tomatoes, etc. to remain on any
painted, porcelain, cooktop, grates, or any other surface relating to
the gas cooktop. Some acids react to the paint and gloss that is
used. If an egg spill should occur, clean the egg when cooktop has
cooled down. Do not allow the egg to remain on surface.
