SAFETY PRACTICES AND PRECAUTIONS

When properly cared for, your new DCS Appliance has been designed to be a safe, reliable cooking appliance. When using this restaurant-caliber appliance, use it with extreme care, as this type of appliance provides intense heat and can increase the accident potential. Basic safety precautions must be followed when using kitchen appliances, including the following:

• Read the user guide, which came with this appliance, thoroughly before using your new appliance. This will help to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.
• Begin by ensuring proper installation and servicing. Follow the installation instructions in this manual. Be sure to have a qualified technician install and ground this appliance before using it.
• Have the installer show you where the gas supply shut-off valve is located.
• If you smell gas, the installer has not done a proper job of checking for leaks. Shut the gas to the appliance off and follow the instructions on the inside front cover of this manual. Do not attempt to find the leak yourself. This must be done by a qualified service technician only.
• If by some chance a burner goes out and gas escapes, open a window or a door to let the room air out. Do not attempt to use the appliance until the gas has had time to dissipate. Follow the instructions on the inside front cover of this manual.
• This appliance has been factory-assembled for natural or LP gas. It should be correctly adjusted from the factory for the type of gas that is used.
• Do not repair or replace any part of this appliance unless it is specifically recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.
• Children should not be left alone or unattended in an area where appliances are in use. They should never be allowed to turn knobs, push buttons, sit or stand on, and/or touch any part of an appliance while in operation.
• Children in walkers or children crawling can be attracted to the oven door handle and may grab and open the oven door. This can result in injury from the door being pulled open on a child, or severe burns if the oven is in use and hot.

WARNING:
Do not store items of interest to children above or at the back of any appliance. Children could be seriously injured if they should climb onto the appliance to reach these items.

• Never store anything in the oven or on the cooktop. Flammable materials can catch fire, plastic items may melt or ignite and other types of items could be ruined.
• Do not hang articles from any part of the appliance or place anything against the oven. Some fabrics are quite flammable and may catch on fire.
• If the appliance is near a window be certain the curtains do not blow over or near the cooktop burners; they could catch on fire.
• Keep rugs and mats well clear of the base of the range.
• Do not use water on grease fires. Turn all burners “OFF”, then smother the fire with baking soda or use a dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
• Never let clothing, pot holders, or other flammable materials come in contact with, or too close to, any burner or burner grate until it has cooled. Fabric may ignite and result in personal injury.
• Be certain to use only dry pot holders: moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may cause burns from steam. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of pot holders. Do not let pot holders touch hot burners or burner grates.
• For personal safety, wear proper apparel. Loose-fitting garments or hanging sleeves should never be worn while using this appliance. Some synthetic fabrics are highly flammable and should not be worn while cooking.
• Do not use aluminium foil to line any part of the oven or cooktop. This will cause heat to be trapped underneath it. This trapped heat can upset the cooking performance and can damage the finish of the oven or the cooktop parts.

WARNING!
NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages in the oven bottom or cover an entire rack with materials such as aluminium foil. Doing so blocks airflow through the oven and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminium foil linings may also trap heat, causing a fire hazard.

This appliance is for cooking. Never use the oven or cooktop to warm or heat a room. This could damage the cooktop or oven parts.

• When using the cooktop: Do not touch the burner grates or the immediate surrounding area. Areas adjacent to the burners may become hot enough to cause burns.
• When using the oven: Do not touch the interior surfaces of the oven, the exterior area immediately surrounding the door or the back trim. The surfaces directly above the oven door may be hot if the oven has been operated with the door open, or if something has prevented the door from sealing.
• Never leave the cooktop unattended when using high flame settings. When cooking with high flame settings, boilovers may cause smoking and greasy spillovers may ignite. More importantly, if the burner flames are smothered by a severe boilover which affects the igniter, unburned gas will escape into the room.
• Only certain types of glass, heat-proof glass-ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for cooktop use. Some utensils may break with sudden temperature changes. Use only on low or medium flame settings according to the manufacturer’s directions. The use of professional utensils is recommended.
• Do not heat unopened food containers; a build-up of pressure may cause the container to burst.
• During cooking, set the burner control so that the flame heats only the bottom of the pan and does not extend beyond the bottom of the pan. This could heat and/or melt the handles, and may increase cooking time.
• Always use utensils that have flat bottoms large enough to cover the burner. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the flame to direct contact and may result in the ignition of clothing.
• To minimize burns, ignition of flammable materials and unintentional spillovers, position the handles of utensils inward so they do not extend over adjacent work areas, cooking areas, or the edge of the cooktop.
• Hold the handle of the pan to prevent movement of the utensil when stirring or turning food.
• Grease is flammable. Let hot grease cool before attempting to handle it. Avoid letting grease deposits collect around the cooktop burners. Clean after each use or boil over.
• Do not remove the grease drip pan from the griddle or grill until completely cool.
• For proper lighting and performance of the cooktop burners, keep the burner ports clean. It may be necessary to clean these when there is a boilover or when the burner does not light, even though the electronic igniters click.
• Do not use the grill for cooking excessively fatty meats or products that promote flare-ups. Do not use cooking utensils on the grill.
• Clean the cooktop with caution. Avoid steam burns; do not use a wet sponge or cloth to clean the cooktop while it is hot. Some cleaners produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface. Follow the directions provided by the cleaner manufacturer.
• Be sure all the range and/or cooktop controls are turned off and the appliance is cool before using any type of aerosol cleaner on or around the appliance. The chemical that produces the spraying action could, in the presence of heat, ignite or cause metal parts to corrode.
• Place oven racks in the desired position while the oven is cool. If a rack must be moved while the oven is hot, do not let the pot holders contact the hot interior of the oven.
• Use care when opening the oven door; let hot air or steam escape before removing or replacing foods.
• Do not rub, damage, move or remove the door gasket. It is essential for a good seal during baking. Wash the gasket with hot water only.
• Clean the ventilator hood and filters above the range or cooktop frequently so grease from cooking vapours does not accumulate on them. The filters can be cleaned in a dishwasher or dish drawer. Follow directions provided by the ventilation manufacturer for cleaning.
• Turn the ventilator “OFF” in case of fire or when intentionally “flaming” liquor or other spirits on the cooktop. The blower, if in operation, could unsafely spread the flames.
• DO NOT obstruct the flow of combustion or ventilation air to the appliance. Be sure a fresh air supply is available.
• For safety reasons and to avoid damage to the appliance never sit, stand, or lean on the oven door or cooking surface.
• Service should only be done by authorized technicians. Technicians must disconnect the power supply before servicing this appliance.

WARNING:

California Proposition 65
The burning of gas cooking fuel generates some by-products that are known by the State of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm. California law requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances. To minimize exposure to these substances, always operate this unit according to the manufacturer’s instructions and provide good ventilation to the room when cooking with gas.

REQUIREMENTS FOR HOOK-UP TO GAS SUPPLY

• The gas supply connections should be made by a qualified technician by local codes or ordinances. In the absence of a local code, the installation must conform to the latest edition of National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z.223.1 (Warning: this appliance must be installed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter when within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts).
• A manual shut-off valve (supplied by the installer) must be installed in an accessible location in the gas line external to the appliance to turn on or shut off gas to the appliance. (In Massachusetts such shut-off valves should be approved by the Board of State Examiners of Plumbers & Gas Fitters.) The shut-off valve must be located within 6 feet (1.8 metres) of the appliance it serves.

Important!
Fisher & Paykel recommends installing the manual shut-off valve in a location readily accessible by the customer so that gas to the appliance can be shut off in an emergency. However, the appliance must not be modified in any way to accommodate such placement.

• The gas supply line must not protrude beyond the back of the appliance as this would prevent the product from being pushed completely against the wall.
• Make sure the gas supply is turned off at the wall valve before connecting the appliance.
• Leak-testing of the appliance shall be conducted according to the manufacturer’s instructions. See instructions in the section ‘Test and adjustments’.

MODELS

PLANNING THE INSTALLATION

IMPORTANT INSTALLATION INFORMATION
The range is tested in accordance with ANSI Z21.1 Standard for Household Cooking Gas Appliances. The range must be installed in conjunction with a suitable overhead vent hood. (See section ‘Ventilation Requirements’). Due to the professional high heat capacity of this unit, particular attention should be paid to the hood and duct work installation to ensure it meets local building codes. To eliminate risk of burns or fire by reaching over heated surface units, cabinet storage located above the surface units should be avoided.

All range models with less than a 12” clearance between combustible material and the back edge of the range (above the cooking surface) require the installation of one of the two offered Backguards – see section ‘Backguard installation’.

• All ranges have a standard 3-1/2” integral island trim.
• RGU/RGV and RGUC/RGVC ranges are supplied with a matching BGRU2-15xx standard backguard.
• For RDU/RDV ranges, the backguard has to be purchased separately.

Check local building codes for the proper method of range installation. Local codes vary. Installation, electrical connections, and grounding must comply with all applicable codes. In the absence of local codes, the range should be installed per the latest edition of National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 and National Electrical Code ANSI / NFPA 70. Be sure that the unit being installed is set up for the kind of gas being used. The gas range is shipped from the factory set and adjusted for Natural Gas or LP (propane), depending on the specific model ordered. Verify that the range is compatible with the gas at the installation site before proceeding further. Return range to the dealer if the unit is not set for site gas supply.

RECOMMENDED INSTALLATION SEQUENCE
Install components in the following order:

1. Locate and level range according to range installation instructions.
   Steps 2,3 & 4 are only relevant if you are installing a Wall Mount Full Backguard:

2. Measure the distance from the floor to the top of the island trim on the range, adding 1/4” for backyard clearance.

3. Transfer this measurement to the wall. This will mark the bottom of your backyard.

4. From this line measure 26-1/4” up the wall to mark the top of a Wall Mount Full backguard. This is the minimum height at the bottom of your vent hood that can be installed.

5. Follow the vent hood manufacturer’s installation instructions to install the vent hood.

6. Follow backguard installation instructions to install the backguard.

7. Connect gas and electric connections and slide the range into position.

NOTE:
A manual gas shut-off valve must be installed. See section ‘Gas Hook-up’.

UNPACKING AND HANDLING

WARNING!

Extremely Heavy

• Proper equipment and adequate manpower must be used in moving the range to avoid personal injury or damage to the unit or the floor. The unit is heavy and rests on adjustable steel legs.
• Failure to follow this advice may result in damage or personal injury.
  • 420- 630 lb 190-285 kg

WARNING:
DO NOT lift the range by the oven door handles!!

WARNING:
DO NOT remove the grill or griddle assemblies!!

MOVING AND PLACING THE RANGE
The ranges have shipping weights varying from 420 lbs. to 630 lbs less approx. 50 lbs. after removal of packing material. It is recommended that the door(s), grates, and front kick panel be removed to facilitate handling. This will reduce the weight for ease of handling.

It may be necessary to remove the oven door(s) to pass through some doorways. With the door(s) removed, a 29-1/2” wide opening is required. Without removing the door, a 32” wide opening is required. Remove the outer carton and packing material from the shipping base.

Anti-tip device should be installed (see section ‘Installing anti-tip device’ for instructions). The professional range should be transported by a dolly close to its final location. The range can be tipped back and supported on the rear legs while the dolly is removed. The floor under the legs should be protected (wood strips, carpet, panelling, etc.) before pushing the unit back into position.

Electric and gas connections should be made before the range is slid into the cabinet opening (see sections ‘Electrical connections’ and ‘Gas hook-up’). If installing a full backguard with the range, it should also be installed before the range is placed in its final position (see sections ‘Planning the installation’ and ‘Backguard installation’). For proper performance, the professional range should be level. Flooring in cabinet opening must be at the same level as flooring located in front of the cabinets. To achieve a flush fit of the range to adjoining countertops, it will be necessary to have level cabinets (front to back, and left to right across the opening of the range). After checking the countertops for level and before sliding the range into place, measure the distance from the floor to the top of the counter work surface in the rear left and right corners. Adjust the corresponding rear corner of the range to an equal height of the counter, as the rear levelling legs are not accessible once the range is pushed into place. Once the range is in place, the front leg levellers can be accessed to level the front of the range. Replace the kick panel and oven doors by reversing the procedure described further below. The two screws retaining the kick panel must be secure to prevent accidental access to live electrical components and wires (Fig. 2a).

To remove the kick panel:
Remove two screws at the top and pull forward. The range is held to the skid by two bolts (RGU/RGV/RDU/RDV models) or by L-brackets (RGUC/RGVC models) in the front, behind the kick panel, and two L-brackets located on the bottom flange of the range back (Fig. 2b). After removing the bolts and brackets, the range must be lifted and removed from the skid.

Due to the weight, a dolly with soft wheels should be used to move this unit. The weight must be supported uniformly across the bottom (Fig. 3).

CAUTION: (RGUC/RGVC MODELS ONLY)
Before using the range, be sure to remove the shipping spacer insert in the broiler (see Fig. 4).

To remove the door:

WARNING!
Do not lift the oven door by the handle – this will cause damage! Be sure the oven and door are cool before you begin to remove the door!

1. Open the door completely. (Fig. 5a).
2. Unlock the door hinges by rotating the lock forward (Fig. 5b).
3. Once both hinges are unlocked, gently close the door until approximately halfway closed. Grabbing the sides of the door and gently lifting up and slightly forward, the door will unlatch from the hinge.
4. Continue to lift and pull the door away from the range.

To re-install door:

1. Position the door in approximately halfway open position.
2. Simply place the hinge tongue into the hinge slots (See Fig. 6a).
3. Push the door into the slots until you feel them fall into the latches.
4. Open the door completely and rotate the locks into the closed position (Fig. 6b).
5. Close the oven door.

VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS

A suitable exhaust hood must be installed above the range. The following chart indicates the minimum blower capacity recommended for hood ventilation.

Ventilation Unit| Standard Counter Installation Recommendations| Island Installation Recommendations
---|---|---
HOOD| 23” Deep x Unit Width| 30” Deep x 36” at the Bottom
BLOWER| 48” Range

| 600 CFM

36” ranges featuring a grill (GL models) require a 1200 CFM ventilation unit

CAUTION:
Ventilation hoods and blowers are designed for use with single-wall ducting. However, some local building codes or inspectors may require double wall ducting and/or a damper. Consult local building codes and/or local agencies, before starting, to ensure that hood and duct installation will meet local requirements.

• Hood blower speeds should be variable to reduce noise and loss of heated or air-conditioned household air when maximum ventilation is not required. Normally, the maximum blower speed is only required when using the grill or the self-cleaning cycle.
• For best smoke elimination, the lower edge of the hood should be installed a minimum of 30” to a maximum of 36” above the range cooking surface, (see section ‘Cabinet Preparation’). If the hood contains any combustible materials (e.g. a wood covering) it must be a minimum of 36” above the cooking surface.
• Due to a high volume of ventilation air, a source of make-up air (outside replacement air) is recommended. This is particularly important for tightly sealed and insulated homes. A reputable heating and ventilating contractor should be consulted.

INSTALLING ANTI-TIP DEVICE

All ranges must have an anti-tip device correctly installed as per the following instructions. If you pull the range out from the wall for any reason, make sure that the device is properly engaged when you push the range back against the wall. If it is not, there is a risk of the range tipping over and causing injury if you or a child stand, sit or lean on an open oven door.

INCLUDED PARTS:

• (4) #10 x 2” wood screws
• (2) 5/16 x 1 -1/2” sleeve anchors
• (2) lag bolts and washers and
• (1) Anti-tip bracket, and (1) Installation Instructions.

INSTALLING THE KIT:
Instructions are provided for wood and cement floors. Any other type of construction may require special installation techniques as deemed necessary to provide adequate fastening of the Anti-tip bracket to the floor and wall. The use of this bracket does not preclude tipping of the range when not properly installed.

WOOD CONSTRUCTION:
Place the bracket against the back wall, into the right rear corner where the range is to be located. Leave a gap between the wall (or side of the range) and the bracket (see Fig. 8). Drill (2) 1/8” diameter pilot holes in the centre of the small holes. A nail or awl may be used if a drill is not available. Fasten the bracket securely to the floor and wall.

Model Series| RGU/RGV-48, RDU/RDV-48 RGU/RGV-36, RDU/RDV-36 RGU/RGV-30, RDU/RDV-30| RGUC/RGVC-30
---|---|---
A| 1/2”| 5/8”

CONCRETE OR CEMENT CONSTRUCTION:
Locate the bracket as described above.

Using the bracket as a template, drill (2x) 5/16” diameter pilot holes in the centre of the larger holes to a depth of at least 1- 3/4”. Place the sleeve anchors into the holes and use a hammer to tap them all the way in. Tighten the nuts on the sleeve anchors to fasten the bracket securely to the floor.

For all installations:
Fasten the bracket to the back wall using the two holes on the top of the bracket. Follow the method described in ‘wood construction’.

ONCE INSTALLED:
Complete the range installation per the instructions provided with the product. Check for proper installation of the range and Anti-tip device by grasping the back of the unit and carefully attempting to tilt the range forward.

WARNING!

• A child or adult can tip the range and be killed.
• Install the anti-tip device to the structure.
• Engage the anti-tip device.
• Re-engage the anti-tip device if the range is moved.
• See installation instructions for details.

Failure to do so can result in death or serious burns to children of adults.

CABINET PREPARATION

1. The range is a free-standing unit. If the unit is to be placed adjacent to cabinets, the clearances shown in the following diagrams are required. The same clearances apply to island installations.

2. The range can be placed in various positions concerning the cabinet front, with the front frame either flush or projecting, depending on the countertop depth.

3. The electrical and gas supply should be within the zones shown in the following diagrams.

4. A manual shut-off valve (supplied by the installer) must be installed in an accessible location in the gas line external to the appliance to turn on or shut off gas to the appliance. (In Massachusetts such shut-off valves should be approved by the Board of State Examiners of Plumbers & Gas Fitters.) The shut-off valve must be located within 6 feet (1.8 metres) of the appliance it serves.
   Important!
   Fisher & Paykel recommends installing the manual shut-off valve in a location readily accessible by the customer so that gas to the appliance can be shut off in an emergency situation. However, the appliance must not be modified in any way to accommodate such placement.

5. The maximum depth of overhead cabinets installed on either side of the hood is 13”.

6. Any openings in the wall behind the range and in the floor under the range must be sealed.

7. When there is less than a 12” clearance between combustible material and the back edge of the range (above the cooking surface), a DCS Standard backguard or Full backguard must be installed. When clearance to combustible material is over 12” no backguard is necessary. RGU/RGV and RGUC/RGVC models are supplied with a matching BGRU2-15xx standard backguard. For RDU/RDV models, the backguard must be ordered separately,(see section ‘Planning the installation’). See Fig. 13 for an illustration of all the installation options.

8. Always keep the appliance area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapours and liquids.

9. Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air to the unit.

10. The horizontal surfaces of the range top (cooktop) trim must not be below countertop level.

REQUIRED GROUNDING METHOD – RDU/RDV MODELS
This appliance is factory-equipped with a power supply cord with a four-prong grounding plug. It must be plugged into a mating grounding, type receptacle, connected to a correctly polarized 120/240 volt circuit. If the circuit does not have a grounding type receptacle, it is the responsibility and obligation of the installer to have the existing receptacle changed to a properly grounded and polarized receptacle by all applicable local codes and ordinances by a qualified electrician. In the absence of local codes and ordinances, the receptacle replacement shall be by the National Electrical Code.

Note:
The fourth prong (round grounding pin) should not, under any circumstances, be cut or removed.

WARNING!
The range is equipped for use with an electrical supply that uses a separate grounding conductor (4-wire system). If this range must be connected to an electrical system that utilizes a single conductor for ground and neutral (3-wire system), the grounding jumper at the terminal block must be connected. The grounding jumper is located behind the front kick panel.

To connect the grounding jumper:

• Disconnect the restraining clip holding the jumper.
• Connect the green jumper to the open terminal on a neutral (white) portion of the terminal block (Fig. 16).

GAS HOOK-UP

GAS REQUIREMENTS
Verify the type of gas supplied to the location. The range is shipped from the factory set up and adjusted for Natural Gas or LP (propane), depending on the specific model ordered. Verify that the range is compatible with the gas supply at the installation site before proceeding further. Return the range to the dealer if the unit is not set for the gas supplied at the site.

NATURAL GAS

• Connection: 1/2” NPT Minimum 5/8” dia. flex line.
• Supply Pressure: 6” to 9” W.C.

LP GAS

• Connection: 1/2” NPT Minimum 5/8” dia. flex line.
• Supply Pressure: 11” to 14” W.C.

A regulator is required at the LP source to provide a maximum pressure of 14” W.C. to the range regulator.

REQUIREMENTS FOR HOOK-UP TO GAS SUPPLY
The gas supply connections should be made by a qualified technician under local codes or ordinances. In the absence of a local code, the installation must conform to the latest edition of National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z.223.1 (Warning: this appliance must be installed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter when within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts).

• A manual shut-off valve (supplied by the installer) must be installed in an accessible location in the gas line external to the appliance to turn on or shut off gas to the appliance. (In Massachusetts such shut-off valves should be approved by the Board of State Examiners of Plumbers & Gas Fitters.) The shut-off valve must be located within 6 feet (1.8 meters) of the appliance it serves.
  Important!
  Fisher & Paykel recommends installing the manual shutoff valve in a location readily accessible by the customer so that gas to the appliance can be shut off in an emergency. However, the appliance must not be modified in any way to accommodate such placement.

• The gas supply line must not protrude beyond the back of the appliance.

• Make sure the gas supply is turned off at the wall valve before connecting the appliance

• Leak-testing of the appliance shall be conducted according to the manufacturer’s instructions. See instructions in the section ‘Test and adjustments’.

• The appliance must be isolated from the building’s gas supply piping system by closing its manual shut-off valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.5kPa.). The appliance and its shut-off valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of the system at the test pressures over 1/2 psig (3.5kPa.). When checking the manifold gas pressure, the inlet pressure to the regulator should be at least 7.0” W.C. for natural gas or 12.0” for LP.

• The flex line for the gas supply must be metal and be approved for appliance use by a certifying agency (CSA, CGA, or UL). Never use a hose made of rubber or other synthetic material, as the heat may cause the hose to melt and develop leaks.

• When hooking up the gas supply from the wall hard pipe to the range hard pipe, the installation length of the flex line between the range/wall hard piping must accommodate the range being pulled from the wall for cleaning or servicing purposes. When the range is pulled from the wall, no strain should occur at the range or wall hard pipe connections.

TEST AND ADJUSTMENTS

LEAK TESTING:

• After the final gas connection is made, turn on the manual gas valve and test all connections in the gas supply piping for gas leaks with a soapy water solution. During this test, all appliance gas valves have to be closed.
• To avoid property damage or serious personal injury, never use an Iighted match or open flame. If a leak is present, tighten the joint or unscrew, apply more joint compound, tighten again and retest the connection for the leak.

WARNING:

For warranty coverage, DCS requires that burner adjustments be made by a qualified technician at the time of installation. Extreme care should be used when adjustments are made after installation. IMPROPER OR LACK OF ADJUSTMENT WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY.

COOKTOP BURNERS

• The cooktop burners are not adjustable. Proper operation is achieved when the correct orifices for gas supply are installed at the factory, based on the model ordered.
• When installing the burner port ring, be sure that the two locating pins on the bottom side of the brass port ring are properly aligned with the locating notch and centre holes on the top side of the simmer ring. Incorrect alignment will produce a potentially dangerous flame and poor burner performance.

Note:
No air shutter adjustment is possible on the cooktop burners. Burner flames should be blue and stable with no yellow-tipping (some yellow-tipping is normal with LP gas), excessive noise, or lifting of flame from the burner (Fig. 18).

COOKTOP BURNER LIGHTING NOTE
The cooktop burners have an infinite number of heat settings and there are no fixed positions on the control knobs between HI and LO. To turn the cooktop burner on, push on the control knob and turn it counterclockwise to the “LITE” position. An audible clicking sound will be heard. When the gas has been ignited by the electronic spark igniter, turn the knob to the desired setting (Fig. 19).

Note:
The igniter will continue to click until a flame is present. If the cooktop burner does not ignite, check the spark igniter by listening for a clicking sound. If you do not hear the igniter click, turn off the burner. Check for a tripped circuit breaker, blown fuse, or poor wire connection to the igniter.

WARNING:
When turning on any cooktop burner, be sure to stop at the “LITE” position before turning the burner to a flame setting for cooking. If the burner is not lit and it is turned beyond the “LITE” position, to HI, MEDIUM, or LO, there will be a burst of flame when the burner does light. This could cause burns or damage to the surrounding countertop.

GRIDDLE AND GRILL BURNERS (SOME MODELS ONLY)
Check for the proper burner flame characteristics and adjust air shutters if necessary (Fig. 20). Each valve and air shutter is individually tested and adjusted prior to shipment. Normally adjustment is not required, however, vibration during transit, gas conversion or variations in the local gas supply may make minor adjustments necessary. Burner flames should be blue and stable with no yellow tips, excessive noise or lifting of the flame from the burner. If any of these conditions exist, check that the air shutter or burner ports are not blocked. If this condition persists, adjust the air shutter as required. If the flame is too yellow, indicating insufficient air, adjust the shutter counterclockwise to increase air inlet. If the flame is noisy or tends to lift away from the burner, indicating too much air, turn the shutter clockwise to reduce air. The griddle flames should be 1-1/2” to 2”. The grill burner flames should be 3/8” to 5/8” (Fig. 21).

INFRARED BROIL AND OVEN BAKE BURNERS (RGU/RGV AND RGUC/RGVC MODELS ONLY)

CAUTION:
The oven infrared broiler burner has no air shutter and is not adjustable. The oven bake burner has an air shutter and is adjustable. It is necessary to operate the oven broiler for 20-30 minutes to eliminate the harsh odor of the insulation binder.

This must be done before using the range for the first time and with proper ventilation.

Check for the proper burner flame characteristics. Burner flames should be blue and stable with no yellow tips, excessive noise or lifting of the flame from the burner. If any of these conditions exist, check that the air shutter (oven burner only) (Fig. 20) or burner ports are not blocked. If this condition persists, contact a qualified technician. The oven burner flames should be 1-1/2” to 2” (Fig. 21). The infrared broil burner flames should be approximately 1/8” high over the entire burner screen (Fig. 22).

CLEANING EXTERIOR SURFACES

The stainless steel surfaces may be cleaned by wiping them with a damp soapy cloth or sponge. Any liquid soap (like Dawn or Stainless Steel Magic) will remove fingerprints and smears. Do not use steel wool as it will scratch this surface.
