Main components

The types of burners may vary depending on the type of appliance. Refer to Technical specifications for further details.

Before use

Before using the appliance:

• Ensure that all packaging materials have been removed.
• Clean the appliance with warm water and household detergent and dry carefully with a soft cloth.
• Ensure that the gas supply is connected and turned on.
• Ensure that the appliance is connected to the 12V DC battery for the cooling fans and spark ignition.
• Ensure that the pan supports are positioned properly.
• Ignite the gas burners and let them burn to expel odours and vapours first.
• Ignite the burner and heat the grill for about 20 minutes to eliminate and residual factory lubricants that might impart unpleasant smells to the food being cooked. Smoke may occur during this procedure. Open any windows and turn on mechanical ventilators to help remove the smoke.
• Ignite the burner and heat the oven for about 30 minutes at 200°C to eliminate and residual factory lubricants that might impart unpleasant smells to cooked food. Smoke may occur during this procedure. Open any windows and turn on mechanical ventilators to help remove the smoke.

Dual Fuel only:

• Ensure the electricity is connected and switched on.
• Prime the hotplate by switching on the hotplate for a short period, without a pan, to harden and burn off the coating. Use a medium to high setting for 3 — 5 minutes. Allow adequate ventilation to disperse any smoke that occurs during this process. Allow the hotplate to cool.
• Season the hotplate bg heating the hotplate for 30 seconds on a medium setting and then switching off. Pour a minimal amount of unsalted vegetable oil onto a clean dry cloth or paper towel, and apply a thin coat of oil to the hotplate surface. Wipe off and excess oil, then heat the hotplate on a medium setting for 1 minute. Occasional seasoning will help to maintain the hotplate’s appearance.

Oven shelf

• The oven shelf allows good circulation at the rear of the oven.
• A raised bar at the rear of the shelf prevents trays or dishes making contact with the back of the oven.
• To remove a shelf, pull it forward until it stops, raise at the front and remove.
• To place a shelf in the oven, lower it at the front and slide it backward until it stops.

Only use LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas). The appliance operates on propane or butane. Propane is preferred over butane because butane provides poor performance at an ambient temperature below 10°C and cannot be used at an ambient temperature below 5°C.

Cooling system:
The appliance is fitted with an automated cooling system.

• The cooling fan will automatically switch on a few minutes after the grill and/or oven is turned on, and will remain on even after the appliance has been switched off.
• The fan will automatically switch off a few minutes after the appliance has been switched off, when the appliance has cooled sufficiently.
• When either the grill or oven is first lit or after switching off, the cooling fan may operate intermittently, this is normal.

Fan-Assisted Oven – SCK431 and SCK441:

• SCK431 and SCK441 fan assisted models only have a mains electric circulating fan in the oven.
• The circulating fan provides more even distribution of heat inside the oven when connected to mains electricity. If mains electricity is not available, the oven functions as a conventional gas oven.

**** Although the oven heats up quickly, a 10 minute preheat is recommended. The oven should reach full temperature in about 15-20 minutes.

Turning off:

• Turn the control knob clockwise to the 0 position to turn off the burner.
  Always make sure the control knob is in the 0 position and the oven door is closed when you have finished using the oven.

Safe cooking

• Do not allow cooking vessels to overlap the edges of the appliance — use the correct sizes of pans and position them centrally over the burners.
• Ensure that there is at least a 10mm gap between the pans and the edges of the hob.
• Turn the pans so that the handles do not overhang the front of the appliance.
• Ensure that the flame of the gas burner heats the bottom of the pan, not the sides.
• The pans and trays supplied with this appliance are the maximum sizes. Do not use larger pans and traps. They may restrict good circulation of heat, which may increase cooking times.
• Do not leave the appliance unattended when in use.
• Do not use the appliance while the vehicle is moving.
• Turn the control knob back to the 0 position after cooking.
• Keep the appliance clean and prevent accumulation of grease and food scraps.

Never cover slots or holes in the appliance and never cover a shelf with materials such as aluminium foil. That restricts the airflow and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning.
The food shelves and traps in the appliance are hot during and after use. Allow all parts to cool before touching them, as this can cause serious injury. Always use oven gloves when removing the shelves and traps.

Temperature control

The temperature in the oven is controlled by a thermostatic gas tap and is variable over the range 120°C to 260°C.
The table below provides a guide to the approximate temperatures at each of the shelf positions with respect to the gas mark setting. Good use can be made of the temperature variation between the shelf positions, as several dishes requiring different temperatures may be cooked at the same time. In this wag maximum benefit can be obtained from the gas used to heat the oven.

Table 1: Temperature zones

Care should be taken not to overload the oven, allow adequate spacing to ensure free circulation of heat.
 When roasting with aluminium foil ensure the foil does not impair circulation of heat or block any oven flue outlet.

Maintenance and cleaning

Thetford recommends an annual inspection service by an approved service centre. Between annual servicing, clean the appliance regularly after use. Before any cleaning work is started, the appliance should have been left to cool and be disconnected from the gas and/or electrical supplies.

• Always remove any spills or contamination immediately after use with soap and hot water.
  Towel dry the surface with a soft cloth.

• Use a non-abrasive multi-purpose cream cleaner and a nylon scourer pad to clean more stubborn dirt or grease.

• Use a proprietary stainless steel cleaner or polish to remove superficial surface scratching.

Do not use abrasive cleaners, metal scouring pads or hard brushes. They could damage the appliance.
If you clean the burner rings, ensure that the holes are not clogged.
 Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to clean the glass surface, since they can scratch the glass surface which may result in shattering of the glass.
 Do not leave wet cloths, cleaning pads, residues of food or cleaning products or other dirt to dry on the surface. It can cause pitting, marking or even rusting.
Always clean in the direction of the brushed finish and not across the grain.
Cleaning agents containing bleach should not be left in contact with stainless steel.
Mineral content in water (such as iron or lime scale] can affect the appearance of the metal.
Remove and spillage from the glass lid before opening the lid.
**** The control knobs can be removed for cleaning. The knobs are easy to replace.

Gas leake

As soon as you smell gas:

• Ensure that all burners are turned
• Extinguish all naked lights and do not
• Shut off the gas supply at the gas bottle
• Do not use electrical
• Open all doors and

LPG is heavier than air. Escaping gas accumulates at lower levels. Bg following the strong, unpleasant smell of gas, you can determine where the leak is located. To investigate where it is exactly, use a special leak detection spray. Never use an open flame to find the leak!

To reduce energy use on the hob while cooking:

• Use the correct size of pan —a pan which fits the hotplate will use less energy than one that is too large or too small.
• Use the minimum heat setting to maintain simmering or boiling —additional heat is just wasted.
• Cover pans or kettles with a lid whenever possible — this helps to retain heat.
• Do not use old, damaged or distorted pans, they will reduce efficiency.
