Question:
Can I use a lighter to light this stove? There will be no power. I am assuming the 12volt battery would also light it as well? Just curious about the lighter or match. Thank you!

Hey April. You can definitely use a lighter or a match to light the GE Profile Propane RV Range - Drop In item # GE57VR if you do not have 12v power. This process is not only covered in the installation instructions that I have linked below but it's also recommended.
The GE Profile Propane RV Range item # GE57VR measures 21" tall x 20-1/8" wide x 17-3/4" deep. This is a 3-burner stove with a oven.
What kind of stove are you replacing? Did it go out or are you just looking to upgrade?
