IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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.
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 or the burners.
• Any food or liquid spills onto the range top 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 100 lb/45 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.
Ventilation Safety
5
• 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
top 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 changes in temperature.
Check the manufacturer’s recommendations for appliance use.
USING PANS CORRECTLY
• DO NOT use pots/pans that are unstable or easily tipped. Select cookware with flat
bottoms that are large enough to cover burner grates. To avoid spillovers, make sure
cookware is large enough to contain the food properly. This will save cleaning time
and prevent hazardous accumulations of food that could ignite.
• Pot/pan handles should be turned inward and not extend over adjacent surface
burners. To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage,
handles of pots and pans should be positioned so that they are turned inward and do
not extend over adjacent surface burners.
• When cooking with flammable fat such as oil, do not leave the range top unattended.
• 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.

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
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.
1. Always check that the burner caps are
properly installed before operation:
2. Verify that the flame of the range top
burners is 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 griddle (only available with the RT48 series range top) comes pre-
seasoned. Regularly seasoning the griddle is recommended.

the small flame symbol, vice-versa for the larger flame symbol.
• To light the burner, keep pushing the knob and turn it counterclockwise 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
natural gas or liquid propane gas to fully fill the operating system.
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.

BURNER GRATES
• The range top grates must be properly positioned before cooking. Improper installation
of the grates may result in scratching of the cooktop and poor combustion.
• Do not operate burners without appropriate pot/pans or cookware on the grates.
• Be sure to place cookware directly on the center of each grate in order to maximize
cooking efficiency; see below for more.

If the power fails, the surface burners can be lighted manually. Hold a lighted match near a burner and turn knob
Cooktop
To prevent the appliance from discoloring or staining, clean cooktop after each use, and wipe up acidic or sugary spills
as soon as the appliance has cooled.
The sealed burners of your appliance are not secured to the cooktop and are designed to be removed. Boil overs or
spills will not seep underneath the cooktop. The burners should be cleaned after each use.
WARNINGS:
FOOD SAFETY
According to the United States Department of Agriculture: DO NOT hold foods at temperatures between 40°F to 140°F
more than 2 hours. Cooking raw foods below 275°F is not recommended.
Burner Grates
The grates must be properly positioned before cooking.
Improper installation of the grates may result in
scratching of the cooktop and / or poor combustion.
Do not operate the burners without a pan or utensil on
the grates.
WARNING:
Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to four of these substances, namely benzene, carbon monoxide,
formaldehyde and soot, caused primarily by the incomplete combustion of natural gas fuel. When operating your
appliance on natural gas, the flames from the burners should be blue in color. In addition, the flames should be
stable, free of yellow tipping, excessive noise and lifting. However, this yellow tipping should be restricted to the
primary flame kernels only. Properly adjusted burners, indicated by a bluish rather than a yellow flame, will minimize
incomplete combustion. Exposure to those substances can be minimized by venting with an open window or use of a
ventilation fan or hood.
Approximately
1” - 1 1/2” flame height
CLEANING YOUR RANGE TOP
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 top when hot. Do not use Clorox
bleach wipes or alcohol wipes to clean any part of the stainless steel.
WARNING
• Cleaning after Installation: Use a stainless steel cleaning product or wipe to eliminate
the glue residues of the protection film after removal.
• Cleaning the Range Top: Periodically clean the burner heads, cast iron pan supports,
and burner caps using warm water. Remove burner food and fat residues with a
rubber spatula.
• Cleaning Stainless Steel: For the best results, 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 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.

Troubleshooting
TROUBLESHOOTING
RANGE TOP PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE AND/OR REMEDY
Range top does not function
Range top is not connected to electrical power. Check
power circuit breaker, wiring, and fuses. If all electrical
components are properly installed, call ZLINE Customer
Service at 1-614-777-5004 for help.
Burner does not ignite

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.
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 top. See Installation
Manual for how to adjust the burner flame’s height.
