• Keep the appliance area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapours and liquids.

VENTILATION SAFETY

• The use of a gas cooking appliance generates heat and humidity in the kitchen or room where it is installed. A 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 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 near 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 backsplash of the 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 stovetop grills on your gas appliance. If you use a stovetop 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.
• Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed cookware are suitable for use without breaking due to sudden temperature changes. Check the manufacturer’s recommendations for appliance use.

OPERATION

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.

WARNING
DO NOT ignite the burners if the black burner cap is not installed or not centred, 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.

RANGE TOP COOKING
USING THE BURNERS CORRECTLY

• Keep children at a safe distance from the appliance during operation. DO NOT allow children to operate the appliance.

1. Always check that the burner caps are properly installed before operation:
2. Verify that the flames of the range top burners are completely blue and with a regular aspect as shown at right:
3. Never let flames wrap around cookware; this creates a safety hazard and can also damage your cookware:

NOTE: ZLINE cast iron griddles (only available with the RG48 series range) come preseasoned. Regularly seasoning the griddle is recommended.

SURFACE BURNER OPERATION

• 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, and vice-versa for the larger flame symbol.
• To light the burner, keep pushing the knob and turn it counter-clockwise to the 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 its 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 colour.

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 system cooling fan will run on all oven settings when it is in use.

WARNING
The flame colour 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 the atmosphere can affect the flame colour.

USING THE OVEN

OVEN FUNCTION SELECTORS

• The timer must be set to “ON” or a timed option AND the temperature dial set to the preferred temperature for the oven to function.
• The range indicator light next to the temperature dial will turn on when the oven temperature is set. Once the oven has reached the desired temperature, the light will turn off. Pre-heating typically takes 15-25 minutes to reach desired temperatures.
• The timer stops when going from OFF to ON. Turn the dial counterclockwise to go to the ON position and turn it clockwise to go to a timed position. Do NOT turn the dial counterclockwise beyond the ON position, as you risk breaking the dial.
• BROIL: Turn the timer knob to the “ON” position and turn the temperature dial to the “BROIL” position. This is the highest heat setting using only the top heating element. Use to quickly crisp foods or brown the top of already-cooked dishes.
• MAX: Turn the timer knob to the “ON” position and turn the temperature dial to the “MAX” position. This is the highest heat setting using only the bottom heating element. Use for roasting and baking breads and pizzas.

NOTE: Some RG series models may have a slightly different timer dial layout, yet operation remains the same. Further, some previous models featured “CLEAN” on the temperature dial. This function is not a self-cleaning mode — it is the same operation as the MAX setting.

To activate the convection fans, push the convection fan button on the right side of the control panel. The convection fan will only run on regular temperature settings and will not run while “BROIL” is selected.

NOTE: Some RG series models may have a convection fan switch, rather than a button. If this is the case, the operation remains the same.

USING PANS CORRECTLY

1. Always ensure that the bottom and handles of pans do not protrude over the range top.
2. When cooking with flammable fat such as oil, do not leave the range unattended.
3. Use pots of the appropriate size on each burner.
4. To avoid overflow when boiling liquids, turn knob to the minimum heat.
5. Always use pots with matching lids.
6. Dry the bottoms of pans before operation.

OVEN COOKING

1. Use care when opening door. Let hot air or steam escape before removing or placing food.
2. DO NOT heat unopened food containers. Pressure build-up may cause container to burst and result in injury.
3. Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed.

PLACEMENT OF OVEN RACKS

1. Always place oven racks in desired location while oven is cool. If rack must be moved while oven is hot, DO NOT let potholder or oven mitts make contact with heating element in oven.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR SURFACE OF OVEN. Heating elements may be hot even though 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 other flammable materials come into contact with 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 oven vent openings and surfaces near these openings, oven doors, and oven glass window.
6. 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 the 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.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

REPLACING THE OVEN BULBS

WARNING
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

WARNING
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.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

• 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.
  WARNING
  When cleaning the inside of your range, note that the oven door does not lock. 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

1. Open oven door and insert metal pins into each door hinge (note: pins are not included). Close the door halfway. Pull up and out on the door to remove.
2. 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.
3. Remove the kick plate.
4. Install a new kick plate.
5. Reinstall the four previous screws from step 2.
6. Reinstall the new oven door by reversing step 1. Place door hinges into slots of hinge base receivers, keeping the door in a closed position. The door will drop into the receiver base when proper engagement is achieved.
7. Open the door to full open position slowly to verify proper operation. Remove hinge pins.

WARNING
A replacement door should NEVER have the pins removed until the door is securely installed in the range’s hinge receivers.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Range does not function

| The range is not connected to electrical power. Check the power circuit breaker, wiring, and fuses. If all electrical components

are properly installed, call 1-614-777-5004 for help.

Broil does not work

| The temperature control knob is rotated too far past the broil position (500°F); the preheating indicator will light intermittently.
Burner does not ignite| The gas supply valve is in the “OFF” position or the gas supply is

interrupted.

Igniter barely sparked, 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 the flame is large, distorted, or yellow| The air quality of the room may be affecting the flame colour. 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.
Oven has soot in it| If the range is on liquid propane gas, make sure that both the

orifices and the regulator have been converted.

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 the Installation Manual for how to

adjust the burner flame’s height.
