Frequently asked questions

Usage

Only operate the stove with the type of gas (propane or butane) and pressure, as indicated on the rating plate.

If the burner has not lit within 15 seconds, release the knob and wait at least 1 minute before repeating the operation. If it still fails to ignite contact your dealer.

The appliance is manufactured to heat food and as a result certain areas will become hot. Touchable surfaces like knobs and handles should remain within a safe touchable temperature. If you are concerned about these temperatures, please contact your dealer who can measure the temperatures to ensure they are correct.

The grill burner works efficiently with the correct circulation of gas and ambient air. Closing the door prevents the circulation of this air and can result in dangerous products of combustion.

Does your oven have a grill / grill function? Note that the grill function may only be operated with the grill door open. The following applies here:

  • Grill switched on – grill door opened or tilted
  • Grill switched off – grill door closed

Note: More and more Thetford appliances with a grill have a safety device that prevents the grill from operating when the grill door is closed. As soon as the grill door is closed, the gas flame goes out.

Cleaning and maintenance

Always remove any spills or contamination immediately after use with soap and hot water. Towel dry the surface with a soft cloth. Use a special glass cleaner to clean more stubborn dirt or grease.
