OPERATION
ROOM VENTILATION
The use of a gas cooking appliance generates heat and humidity in the room
where it is installed. Proper ventilation in the room is needed. Make sure the
kitchen is equipped with a range hood of appropriate power (400 CFM minimum).
Activate the exhaust fan/range hood when possible. Intensive and continuous
use of the appliance may require additional ventilation, for example, by
opening a window.
COOKTOP COOKING
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 cooker you heat the oven to
380°F for 2 hours to run in BAKE mode. After the oven cools, wipe it out with
hot water and a mild detergent. We also recommend cleaning the racks and
shelves before use.
When using the cooker for the first time you may notice the following:
- There may be a smell. This is quite normal when the cooker 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.
- 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 or hot plates in order to avoid accidents caused by spill over.
- Particular care should be taken when cooking with oil or fat.
- Always ensure that the knobs are in the “O” Off or Stop 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.
- When placing food in the oven, or when removing a large quantity of oil, juice, etc., any spills onto the bottom of the oven must be cleaned before starting to cook to avoid unpleasant smoke and also the possibility of these substances catching fire.
- Ensure that air can circulate around the gas appliance. Poor ventilation can result in lack of oxygen and extinguish the flame.
- The use of a gas cooking appliance produces heat and humidity in the room where it is installed.
- Ensure good ventilation of the room, keep adequate natural ventilation or install an extractor hood with a discharge tube.
- In case of doubt, ask installer for advice.
- 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, move it carefully.
- To facilitate ignition, light the burners before placing pans on the grid.
- Check that the flame is regular.
- Always lower the flame or turn it off before removing the pan
SURFACE BURNER OPERATION – ELECTRIC IGNITION
To activate the electric ignition, simply turn the control knob counter- clockwise to maximum power, then press the knob in to start the flow of gas and the ignition spark. The spark will be released at the metal tip of the white ceramic pin 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
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
WARNING
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 worktop burners is completely blue and with a regular aspect as shown below:
- Never let flames wrap around cookware.
Be sure to set all worktop/oven/broiler burner controls to the OFF position after each use of the appliance.
Maximum temperature setting/recommended control knob position for burner
ignition.
The regulating knobs should be turned in anti-clockwise direction until the
small flame symbol, vice-versa for the larger flame symbol. To light up the
burner, keep pushing the knob and turn it anti-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 anti-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 LPG to fully fill the operating system.
NOTE: System cooling fan will run on all oven setting when it is in use.
WARNING
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.
OVEN FUNCTION SELECTORS – RG/RGB/RGS MODELS
The timer must be set to “ON” or a timed option with the temperature dial set
to the preferred temperature for the oven to function.
The timer stops when going from OFF to ON. Turn the dial counterclockwise to

USING PANS CORRECTLY
- Always ensure that the bottom and handles of pans do not protrude over the worktop.
- When cooking with flammable fat, such as oil, do not leave the range unattended.
- Use pots of the appropriate size on each burner following the indication of the diagram below.
- To avoid overflow when boiling liquids; turn knob to the minimum heat.
- Always use pots with matching lids.
- Dry the bottoms of pans before operation.
OVEN COOKING
- Use care when opening 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.
- Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed.
PLACEMENT OF OVEN RACKS
- Always place oven racks in desired location while oven is cool. If rack must be moved while oven is hot, DO NOT let potholder make contact with heating element in 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 and 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 broiler pan and other utensils.
- In case of electric power failure reset oven/broiler controls to the OFF position, 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 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, for example, oven vent openings and surfaces near these openings, oven doors, and oven glass window.
- Take care to reset all worktop/oven/broiler burner controls to the OFF position after use of the appliance.
The ranges are equipped with commercial-grade shelves and an enamel cooking
tray. Shelves are mounted on the appropriate guides situated on the sides of
the oven compartment. Insert the shelf between the top and bottom guide in any
of the 5 positions available. To keep the oven as clean as possible, cook
on the tray.
When available, always follow recipe book 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 griddle, you may want to clean it, but it does not

To replace the oven light bulb, 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.
CLEANING YOUR RANGE
WARNING
During cleaning operation, 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!
- Cleaning after Installation: Use a stainless steel cleaning product or wipe to eliminate the glue residues of the protection film after removal.
- Cleaning the Worktop: 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: Porcelain parts should be cleaned frequently with 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 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 fat deposits. Install the pins into slots on each hinge (pins not included.)
