VENTILATION SAFETY
-
The use of a gas cooking appliance generates heat and humidity in the kitchen or room where it is installed. An range hood may be used with the appliance; in each case it shall be installed in conformity with the appropriate national and local standards.
-
If a range hood is installed with appropriate ducting, maintain a 30″ (762 mm) minimum clearance between the cooking surface and bottom of the hood.
-
Exhaust hood operation may affect other vented appliances; in each case it shall be installed in conformity with the appropriate national and local standards.
-
Intensive and continuous use of the appliance may require additional ventilation, for example, by opening a window.
OVEN SAFETY -
Never pour cold water onto hot surfaces in a hot oven. The steam created could cause serious burns or scalding and the sudden change in temperature can damage the enamel in the oven.
-
We recommend that before you cook in your new range, you heat the oven to roughly 400 °F (204 °C) for 2 hours. After the oven cools, wipe it out with hot water and a kitchen-safe cleaner. We also recommend cleaning the racks and shelves before use.
-
When using the oven for the first time you may notice the following:
-
There may be a smell. This is quite normal when the appliance is first heated, as residual oil from production of parts will be burnt off quickly.
-
There may be noises. This is also quite normal as new parts move and settle into place during the initial heating process.
COOKING AND RANGE TOP SAFETY -
This product is intended for the cooking of food and must not be used for other purposes.
-
Unstable or deformed pans should not be placed on the burners in order to avoid accidents caused by spillover.
-
Particular care should be taken when cooking with oil or fat.
-
Always ensure that the knobs are in the OFF position when the appliance is not in use.
-
Before maintenance and cleaning, disconnect the appliance and allow cooling down.
For reasons of hygiene and safety this appliance must always be kept clean. -
Take care when using cleaning products in spray form: never direct the spray onto the electrical wiring, thermostat, and bulb.
-
Any food or liquid spills in the bottom of the oven must be cleaned up before cooking in order to avoid unpleasant smoke and/or the possibility of fire.
-
Ensure air can circulate around the gas appliance. Poor ventilation can result in lack of oxygen and extinguish the flame.
-
Supply the appliance with the type of gas stamped on the relevant label situated in the immediate vicinity of the gas connection tube.
-
The appliance is heavy (roughly 250 lb/113 kg) — move it carefully.
-
To facilitate ignition, light burners before placing pans. Check that flames are regular.
-
Always lower the flame or turn it off before removing the pan.
-
Do not store items of interest to children in the cabinets above the appliance or on the back splash of appliance.
-
DO NOT use decorative surface burner covers. If a burner is accidentally turned on, the decorative cover will become hot and possibly melt. You may not be able to see that the burner is on, and burns may occur if the hot covers are touched.
-
DO NOT use stove top grills on your gas appliance. If you use a stove top grill on a sealed gas burner, it may cause incomplete combustion and can result in exposure to carbon monoxide levels above allowable current standards.
-
DO NOT leave children alone or unattended when the appliance is hot or in operation, even if burners have been off for several minutes. The unit’s knobs and cooktop may still have residual heat, and children could be seriously burned.
-
DO NOT let anyone climb, stand, or hang on the unit. They could damage the range or cause it to tip over which could result in severe personal injury.
-
Never modify or alter the construction of the appliance by removing panels, wire covers, or any other part of the product.
-
Do not wear loose-fitting or hanging garments while using the appliance. Do not let clothing or other flammable materials contact hot surfaces.

OPERATION
RANGE TOP COOKING
SURFACE BURNER OPERATION – ELECTRIC IGNITION
To activate the electric ignition, simply push the knob in to activate the
spark. While still pushing the knob in, turn the control knob counter-
clockwise to release the gas. The spark will be released at the metal
electrode of the white ceramic spark tip located on the side of the burner.
Once the flame is on, release the control knob gently. If the flame turns off,
simply repeat the above procedure.
DO NOT ignite the burners if the black burner cap is not installed or not
centered, the flame will be irregular.
MANUAL IGNITION
Manual ignition is always possible even when the power is cut off or in the
event of a power failure. Turn the control knob counter-clockwise to the
MAXIMUM position; light the flame with a kitchen lighter or with a match.
USING THE BURNERS CORRECTLY
Keep children at a safe distance from the appliance during operation. DO
NOT allow children to operate the appliance.
- Always check that the burner caps are properly installed before operation:
- Verify that the flame of the range top burners is completely blue and with a regular aspect as shown at right:
- Never let flames wrap around cookware; this creates a safety hazard and can also damage your cookware:
NOTE: ZLINE cast iron griddles (available only with RA48 and RA60 series ranges) come pre-seasoned. Regularly seasoning the griddle is recommended.
- Maximum temperature setting is the recommended control knob position for burner ignition.
- The regulating knobs should be turned in a counter-clockwise direction until reaching the small flame symbol, vice-versa for the larger flame symbol.
- To light the burner, keep pushing the knob and turn it counter-clockwise to maximum, and hold it for 3 to 5 seconds. The ignition will spark and ignite the burner. At this position, the gas supply is at the maximum and the flame also at its maximum.
- You can reduce the flame size by turning the knob in a counter-clockwise direction. Should the burner fail to light up, turn the knob to its original position and try again. Your burner flame should be blue in color.
NOTE: When igniting a burner, all burners will spark, but only the
burner’s knob you are using will ignite the flame.
NOTE: When first used, the gas burner will not ignite immediately. Time
is required for the gas to fully fill the operating system.
NOTE: The range’s cooling fan will run on all oven settings when it is in
use.
The flame color should always be blue. Flickers of orange and yellow are
acceptable. If flames appear orange or yellow and stay that way, check the
surrounding area. Candles, cleaning products, and other changes in atmosphere
can affect the flame color.
USING THE OVEN
OVEN FUNCTION SELECTORS
In order to bake with any function, the temperature dial must be set to the
preferred temperature AND the baking dial must be set to the preferred cooking
function. The range indicator light next to the baking dial will turn on when
the oven temperature is set. Once the oven has reached the desired
temperature, the light will turn off.
TEMPERATURE DIAL USING PANS CORRECTLY
- Always ensure that the bottom and handles of pots and pans do not protrude over the range top.
- When cooking with flammable fat such as oil, do not leave the range unattended.
- Only use pots of the appropriate size on each burner.
- To avoid overflow when boiling liquids, turn the knob to the minimum heat.
- Always use pots with matching lids.
- Dry the bottoms of pans before operation.
OVEN COOKING
- Use care when opening the oven door. Let hot air or steam escape before removing or placing food.
- DO NOT heat unopened food containers. Pressure build-up may cause container to burst and result in injury and/or damage to the range.
- Keep all oven vent ducts unobstructed.
PLACEMENT OF OVEN RACKS
- Always place oven racks in your desired location while the oven is cool. If rack must be moved while the oven is hot, DO NOT let potholders or oven mitts make contact with heating elements in the oven.
- DO NOT CLEAN DOOR GASKETS. The door gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage, or move the gasket.
- DO NOT USE ABRASIVE OVEN CLEANERS. No commercial oven cleaner or liner protective coating of any kind should be used in or around any part of the oven. Clean only the parts listed in the manual; before cleaning the oven, remove oven racks and clean separately.
- In case of electric power failure, reset oven/broiler controls to the OFF position and do not attempt to use oven/ broiler until the power has been restored.
- DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR SURFACE OF OVEN. Heating elements may be hot even if they are dark in color. Interior surfaces of an oven become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch or let clothing or flammable materials contact the heating elements or interior surfaces of the oven until they have had sufficient time to cool. Other surfaces of the appliance may become hot enough to cause burns, such as vent openings and surfaces near these openings, oven doors, and oven glass window.
- Take care to reset all range top/oven/broiler burner controls to the OFF position after use of the appliance.
The range is equipped with two commercial grade racks. Shelves are mounted on
the appropriate guides situated on the sides of the oven compartment. Insert
the shelves between the top and bottom guide in any of the 5 positions
available. To keep the oven as clean as possible, only use appropriate oven-
safe cookware. When available, always follow recipe directions. Personal
experience will help to determine any variation in temperature values. In any
case, it is recommended to follow the instructions of the specific recipe
being used.
NOTE: If you have a range top griddle, you may wish to clean it, but it does
not need to be seasoned before every use, though it’s recommended to season
regularly.
OVEN OPERATION
- Preheat/High Bake: Use the High Bake setting for preheating the oven. This setting utilizes the center ring on the top heating element, the bottom heating element, and the convection fans. It typically takes 15-25 minutes for the oven to reach desired preheated temperatures.
- Bake/Low Bake: Once the desired preheating temperature is reached, switch the baking dial to Low Bake. This setting uses only the bottom heating element. This setting is best for non-convection cooking.
- Convection Bake: This setting uses both the bottom heating element and convection fans.
- Broil: This setting uses only the top heating element.
- Convection Broil: This setting uses both the top heating element and the convection fans.
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
REPLACING THE OVEN BULBS
Always disconnect the power before servicing the unit.
To replace the two G9 halogen light bulbs located at the upper left and right
corners of the oven, unscrew the protection cap that projects out inside the
oven.
NOTE: Touching the bulb with your fingers may cause the bulb to burn out.
Always use protective gloves or a clean cloth to remove the bulb and when
installing new ones.
CLEANING YOUR RANGE
During cleaning, never move the appliance from its original installation
position. Never use abrasive cleaners. Scratches on the stainless steel
surfaces are permanent. Do NOT clean the range when hot. Do not use Clorox
bleach wipes or alcohol wipes to clean any part of the stainless steel.
-
Cleaning after Installation: Use a stainless steel cleaning product or wipe to eliminate the glue residues of the protective film after removal.
-
Cleaning the Range Top: Periodically clean the burner heads, the cast iron pan supports, and the burner caps using warm water. Remove burner food and fat residues with a rubber spatula.
-
Cleaning Stainless Steel: Use a stainless steel cleaner product with a soft sponge or cloth with a warm soap and water solution. Never use abrasive powders or liquids.
-
Cleaning the Burner Caps: Lift the burner caps from the burner heads and wash them in a warm soap and water solution. Dry thoroughly before using them again. Before reinstalling them on the burner head, check that the gas flow holes are not clogged with food residues or cleaning products.
-
Cleaning Porcelain: The porcelain range top should be cleaned frequently with a warm soap and water solution applied with a soft sponge or wipe. Never use abrasive powders or liquids. Do not leave acid or alkaline substances on the porcelain parts (such as vinegar, lemon juice, salt, tomato sauce, etc). Use a rubber spatula to remove food and fat residues.
-
Cleaning Glass Door: Clean the glass using a non-abrasive sponge or wipe with a warm soap and water solution. Use a rubber spatula to remove food and fat deposits.
Door does not lock during cleaning. Use caution. -
Cleaning the Drip Pan: Each range comes equipped with an easy-to-remove drip pan located at the bottom of the oven to catch food debris from contacting the lower heating element. Periodically remove the pan once oven is fully cool and clean with a warm soap and water solution.
CHANGING DOORS AND KICK PLATES
- Open oven door and insert metal pins into each door hinge (note: pins are not included). Close door half way. Pull up and out on door to remove.
- Uninstall the kick plate by unscrewing the four screws in the kick plate. There are two at the top and bottom on each side. Have a helper tilt the range to unscrew the bottom screws.
- Remove kick plate.
- Install new kick plate.
- Reinstall the four previous screws from step 2.
- Reinstall new oven door by reversing step 1. Place door hinges into slots of hinge base receivers, keeping the door in half closed position. The door will drop into the receiver base when proper engagement is achieved.
- Open door to full open position slowly to verify proper operation. Remove hinge pins.
A replacement door should NEVER have the pins removed until the door is securely installed in the range’s hinge receivers.

TROUBLESHOOTING
RANGE PROBLEM | POSSIBLE CAUSE AND/OR REMEDY |
---|---|
Range does not function | Range is not connected to electrical power. Check |
power circuit breaker, wiring, and fuses. If all electrical components are
properly installed, call 1-614-777-5004
for help.
Broil does not work| Temperature control knob is rotated too far past broil
position (500°F); preheating indicator will light intermittently.
Burner does not ignite| Gas supply valve is in the “OFF” position or gas
supply is interrupted.
Igniter barely sparking, no flame ignition| Burner ports are clogged or the
unit is not set to the appropriate gas type. Call
1-614-777-5004 for help.
Burner ignites but flame is large, distorted, or yellow| The air quality of
the room may be affecting the flame color.
Ensure that there are no candles, cleaning products, air purifiers, etc. in
the room.
Oven is not heating| Check the circuit breaker or fuse box to your house. Make
sure there is proper electrical power to your oven.
Oven light is not working properly| Replace or reinsert the light bulb(s) if
loose or defective.
Cannot remove lens cover on light| There may be soil or build up on the lens
cover. Wipe the lens cover with a clean, dry towel prior to attempting to
remove the lens cover.
Low flames and longer cooking times| The liquid propane gas conversion
procedure may not have been performed properly. Check that all orifices are
correctly placed. If not, contact your installer.
Brass burners change color (if you purchased brass burners for
your range top)| Brass burners naturally oxidize over time and form a patina
that is a beautiful deep brass hue. This process ensures our brass burners are
corrosion resistant and is not cause for a return.
Range top burner’s low/simmer flame setting is too high| The liquid propane
gas conversion procedure may not have been performed properly, as all burners
should have been adjusted during installation with the flame adjustment tool
that comes with each range. See Installation Manual for how to adjust the
burner flame’s height.
