The large capacity gas convection oven of the RGTC is equipped with an in-oven gas infrared broiler. IMPORTANT INSTALLATION INFORMATION The RGTC Range is tested in accordance with ANSI Z21.1 Standard for Household Cooking Gas Appliances. These ranges must be installed in conjunction with a suitable overhead vent hood (see step 2 for 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. 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 accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223-1 and National Electrical Code ANSI / NFPA 70-1990. Be sure that the unit being installed is set up for the kind of gas being used. The gas ranges are 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 gas supply at the installation site before proceeding further. Return range to dealer if unit is not set for the gas supplied at the site. 3 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 appliance provides intense heat which can increase the accident potential. Basic safety precautions must be followed when using kitchen appliances, including the following: Read the Use and Care Manual 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 insuring 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. Have the installer show you where the gas supply shut-off valve is located so you will know how and where to turn off the gas to the appliance. If you smell gas, the installer has not done a proper job of checking for leaks. You can have a small leak and therefore a faint gas smell if the connections are not completely tight. Finding a gas leak is not a "do-it-yourself " procedure. Some leaks can only be found with the burner control in the "ON" position and for your protection it must be done by a qualified service technician. 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 page 1, "For your safety ­ if you smell gas". 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 round 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. 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. 4 SAFETY PRACTICES AND PRECAUTIONS 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 aluminum 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. cover any slots, holes or passages in the oven bottom or cover an entire rack with materials such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks airflow through the oven and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum 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 WARNING! NEVER cooktop or oven parts. use this appliance as a space heater to heat or warm the room. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide poisoning and overheating of the oven. WARNING! NEVER 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, boil overs may cause smoking and greasy spill overs may ignite. More importantly, if the burner flames are smothered by a severe boil over which effects the igniter, unburned gas will escape into the room. Only certain types of glass, heat-proof glass-ceramic, ceramic, earthen ware, or other glazes utensils are suitable for cooktop use. This type of utensil may break with sudden temperature changes. Use only on low or medium flames 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 ignition of clothing. To minimize burns, ignition of flammable materials and unintentional spill overs, position 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 pan 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. 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 boil over or when the burner does not light, even though the electronic igniters click. 5 SAFETY PRACTICES AND PRECAUTIONS 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 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 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 lining 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 vapors does not accumulate on them. The filter can be cleaned in a dishwasher or DishDrawer. Follow directions provided by 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 ...
