9. Additional care should be exercised if your
appliance is equipped with a high-shelf. Dur-
ing heavy or continued use this shelf may be-
come hot. Do not place combustible materials
or plastics on this shelf.
10. Do not store items of interest to children
above the appliance. Children, as well as
adults, should never be allowed to sit, stand,
or climb on any part of the appliance. Serious
injury may occur.
11. Never leave the appliance unattended during
use. Boil-overs may occur, causing spills
which may ignite.
12. Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick
up a flaming pan. It is recommended you pur-
chase a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-
type fire extinguisher for your home. Store it
in close proximity to your appliance.
13. If you are flaming liquor or other spirits, and
you appliance is installed under a vent hood,

15. Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp pot-
holders on hot surfaces may result in steam
burns. Do not allow potholders to touch hot
burner areas. Do not use a towel or other
bulky material as a potholder.
16. To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flam-
mable materials, and spillage, the handle of
any pot or pan should be positioned so that it
does not extend over adjacent burners or the
front of the appliance.
To avoid personal injury or property damage,
please read and follow these important safety
precautions.
1. Before any maintenance or repairs are per-
formed, disconnect the appliance from the elec-
tric supply.
2. Your appliance should be installed by a quali-
fied gas installation technician. Have the tech-
nician show you the exact location of the gas
shutoff valve on the incoming gas line so you
know how to turn off the gas if necessary.
3. In the event of a power failure, do not attempt
to operate the appliance or light any of the
burners. This is a gas fired appliance that em-
ploys electrical components such as the ignition
and safety devices.
4. Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of
this appliance unless specifically instructed to
do so by this manual. In-warranty service must
be performed by an authorized service agency.

SITE PREPARATION

RGTNB 2008
SITE PREPARATION
• This appliance has been designed to be in-
stalled directly against rear walls and side
base cabinets. It cannot be installed di-
rectly against tall side cabinets, side walls,
tall appliances or base cabinets extending
beyond 24 inches [610 mm].
• Side trims must be at least 11/16 inch [17.5
mm] above the adjoining counter top sur-
faces.
• Any openings in the back wall or the floor
of the installation site must be sealed.
• Each gas appliance shall be located with
respect to building construction and other
equipment to permit access to the appli-
ance. Such access and clearance is neces-
sary for cleaning and servicing.
• Do not push against the edges or sides of
any appliance in an attempt to slide it into
position. Although all metal parts are de-
burred during the manufacturing process,
serious injury could occur if the appliance
were to move suddenly while being posi-
tioned. We recommend you use gloves
during the installation process.
• For optimum performance the appliance
should be leveled during installation. A
carpenter type level should be placed on the
unit three ways: side to side; front to back;
diagonally.
• If the appliance is installed in an island or
cabinet cut-out the edges should be
shimmed with small metal coupons

UNPACKING
1. Check the package for damage. If any
damage is visible you should mark the bill
of lading you sign that there may be con-
cealed damage.
2. Insure the container is upright. If the con-
tainer is not upright major damage can
occur to your appliance. If damage is dis-
covered, do not refuse delivery. Contact
the dealer and file appropriate freight
claims. Save all packaging material. Do
not contact the manufacturer. Your appli-
ance was shipped from the dealer you pur-
chased it from. Shipping damage claims
are to be resolved between the customer,
shipping carrier and dealer. The manufac-
turer may assist in resolving any such
claims, but such assistance does not re-
lieve you of your responsibility.
3. Move the container as close to its installa-
tion location as possible. This will reduce
moving and handling your appliance once
it is out of its shipping container.
4. Cut the straps holding the carton to the
palette. Lift the unit directly out of the
box. Do not use a hammer. Do not cut
the carton with a razor, utility or box cut-
ting knife.
5. Thoroughly inspect your appliance for
damage. If damage is discovered, do not
refuse delivery. Contact the dealer and
file appropriate freight claims. Save all
packaging material. Do not contact the
manufacturer. Your appliance was
shipped from the dealer you purchased it
from. Shipping damage claims are to be
resolved between the customer, shipping
carrier and dealer. The manufacturer may
assist in resolving any such claims, but
such assistance does not relieve you of
your responsibility.
6. Remove and unpack any accessories
shipped with your appliance. Make sure
no hardware or accessories are left to be
disposed of unintentionally.
INSTALLATION

RGTNB 2008
BACKGUARD
All range tops require a backguard. Most
models have the option of using: an island
trim; 7 inch standard; 17 inch hi-back; 21 inch
high shelf. Heritage Classic models require a
21 inch high shelf for all installations.
If you are using an island trim a six inch
clearance between the back of the range and a
combustible surface is required. If an island
trim is to be used without this six inch clear-
ance the back wall must be non-combustible
and heat resistant material that extends below
the top surface of the range a minimum of six
inches.
All backguards follow the same basic installa-
tion. Using hardware supplied, align the
backguard with the wrap around on each side
and slip the tongue into place. A minimum of
six sheet metal screws (more depending on
width) are to be installed, three on each end
and more along the bottom edge.
Remove the two rear ring grate/top grates
from the cooktop surface. Four sheet metal
screws are to be installed - down - into the
cooktop support. Two screws are installed on
each end ring grate/top grate position. Re-
place the removed grates.
If you are installing a high shelf there is an
additional channel to be installed on each side
first. The back guard then slips over this
channel as you put it into position. This chan-
nel provides extra support for the higher rise
of the 21 inch back.
INSTALLATION

RGTNB 2008
GAS CONNECTIONS
1. The installation of this appliance must
conform with all applicable local codes.
In the absence of local codes, the installa-
tion must conform to the latest level of the
National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/
NFPA 54. In Canada, the installation
must be in accordance with the current
CAN/CGA B149.1 and B149.2.
2. This appliance can be configured to work
with either natural gas or LP gas. Verify
that the appliance and the incoming gas
supply are compatible. Check the rating
plate.
3. The gas supply line must be the same size
or larger than the gas inlet of the appli-
ance. Your appliance has either a ½”
NPT or ¾” NPT gas inlet connection. We
recommend the supply line be ¼” NPT
larger than the gas inlet of the appliance.
4. Sealant used on pipe joints must be resis-
tant to LP gas.
5. An installer provided manual shut-off
valve must be installed in the gas supply
line ahead of the appliance. This shut-off
must be easily accessible in case of emer-
gency.
6. All gas cooking equipment must have a
pressure regulator on the incoming service
line for safe and efficient operation. This
appliance is equipped with such a gas
pressure regulator. Incoming gas pressure
should be checked with a manometer.
The correct manifold pressure for natural
gas is 5.0” wc. For LP gas the correct
manifold pressure is 10” wc.
7. Incoming line pressure upstream of the
appliance should be 1.0” wc greater than
the operating manifold pressure. Service
pressure may fluctuate for a variety of rea-
sons. Under no circumstances should the
factory installed regulator be removed or
by-passed.
8. The factory installed pressure regulator
will withstand an input pressure of ½ PSI
(12” wc). If the incoming pressure ex-
ceeds the maximum rating a step-down
regulator is required.
9. The appliance and its individual shut-off
valve must be disconnected from the gas
supply line during any pressure testing in
excess of ½ PSI [3.5 kPa].
10. The appliance must be disconnected from
the gas supply by closing its individual
shut-off during any pressure testing less
than ½ PSI [3.5 kPa].
11. Check to see that all installer supplied
pipes and fittings are clear of debris,
threading chips or other foreign particles
before connecting the appliance to the
supply line. Such particles will clog ori-
fices and/or valves when pressure is ap-
plied. Service to clean such clogs is not
covered by your warranty.
12. The incoming gas supply is brought from
the inlet pipe. This is the only connection
required via the installer-supplied shut-off
valve.
13. If the appliance is to be installed with
flexible couplings and/or a “quick discon-
nect” the installer must use a commer-
cially approved AGA Design certified
flexible connector at least ½” NPT that
complies with ANSI Z21.41. In Canada
the connector must comply with CAN
16.10-88 and the “quick disconnect” de-
vice must comply with CAN 16.19M-79
and installed with a strain relief device.
14. Before putting the appliance into service
test all gas connections for leaks. Use a
soapy solution. DO NOT USE AN OPEN
FLAME TO CHECK FOR LEAKS. Such
a procedure is dangerous and it may not
detect all the small leaks that a soapy so-
lution will.
15. Air shutter adjustments are preset at the
INSTALLATION

RGTNB 2008
factory. These adjustments may need to
be redone and/or fine tuned by the in-
staller. These adjustments are normal.
They are the responsibility of the quali-
fied installer and are not covered by
your warranty.
16. A gas conversion performed in the field
may void your warranty. Contact your
dealer for information regarding the con-
version from one type of gas supply to
another.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
1. The installation of this appliance must
conform with all applicable local codes.
In the absence of local codes, the installa-
tion must conform to the latest level of the
National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.
2. This appliance is equipped with a standard
three prong polarized, NEMA 5-15P line
cord to be plugged into a 120Volt 15 Amp
outlet.
3. Removing the grounding prong from the
plug will void the manufacturer’s war-
ranty.
4. The cord exits the appliance at the lower
rear toward the right (viewed from front)
side.
5. If the electrical supply is not turned on or
is interrupted the appliance will not oper-
ate.
6. The circuit where you plug your appliance
must be grounded and polarized.
7. We recommend the circuit for your appli-
ance be a non-GCFI dedicated line.
8. It is recommended that your circuit never
include a microwave oven.
WARNING
This appliance is equipped with a three-
pronged grounding plug for your protec-
tion against shock hazard and should be
plugged directly into a properly grounded
receptacle. Do NOT cut or remove the
grounding prong from this plug.
If the appliance is not grounded or its po-
larity is reversed severe shock hazards can
exist.
VENTILATION
Proper ventilation is highly important for
good operation. This appliance must be in-
stalled under a properly designed canopy
hood. The hood should be six inches [150
mm] wider than the appliance.
A strong exhaust fan can create a vacuum in
the room. For proper air balance work with
your dealer and/or contactor to properly size
your hood and its exhaust fan. It is recom-
mended that your exhaust hood be powerful
enough to move a minimum of 300 cfm.
IMPORTANT
ALL GAS BURNERS NEED SUFFICIENT AIR
TO OPERATE AND LARGE OBJECTS SHOULD
NOT BE PLACED IN FRONT OF THIS APPLI-
ANCE WHICH WOULD OBSTRUCT THE AIR
FLOW THROUGH THE FRONT. OBJECTS
SHOULD NOT BE PLACED ON THE REAR
BACKGUARD WHILE IN USE. THIS COULD
OBSTRUCT THE VENTING SYSTEM OF THE
OVEN’S FLUE PRODUCTS.
INSTALLATION

RGTNB 2008
BEFORE YOU TURN IT ON….
• As part of the installation protective plas-
tic wrappers on stainless steel surfaces
should be removed. These wrappers must
be removed before operation.
• New appliances are wiped clean with vari-
ous cleaners and solvents to remove visi-
ble signs of dirt, oil and grease before
leaving the factory. After installation,
performance checks and adjustments, the
appliance should be allowed to heat to
burn off any such oils from internal parts.
The presence of such coatings is normal
as part of the manufacturing process. The
ventilation hood should be turned on and
the area well ventilated to allow fumes to
escape safely.
• Removable parts should be washed with
hot soapy water, well rinsed and wiped
dry.
• Complete and mail your Performance
Checklist to validate your warranty.
BURNERS
• Remove the top grates and thoroughly
wash them with hot soapy water, rinse and
wipe dry. Extended exposure to moisture
may cause these cast parts to rust.
• To light a burner turn the corresponding
control knob to HIGH.
• This knob is a gas control valve and an
electric switch. Turning to the High posi-
tion begins the ignition sequence.
• The ignitors begin to “click”. As gas
flows through the piping to the burner the
sparking ignites it. After the flame lights
the ignitor senses its heat and the
“clicking” automatically stops.
• ALL burners light at the HIGH setting.
• Burners are equipped with a re-ignite fea-
ture in case the flame is extinguished for
any reason.
• At the High setting, flames should be
sharp with blue tips. Some yellow may
appear depending on the type of gas being
burned.
• Turn the flame lower so it does not wrap
around the bottom edge of the pan.
• Burners may be operated at any knob po-
sition between LOW and HIGH.
• Never operate the burner with the knob
between the HIGH and OFF position. If
the flame goes out it will not re-ignite and
gas leaks could occur.
• When you turn the valve off the flame
may linger several seconds until all the
gas in the feeder tube is burned up.
GRIDDLES
• New griddles must be seasoned prior to
their first use.
• Remove all factory materials and wash the
griddle plate with hot soapy water. Rinse
and dry thoroughly.
• Apply a light coating of unsalted peanut
oil to the top, sides and front of the grid-
dle plate. Wipe away any excess oil.
• To light the burner turn the knob counter
clockwise to the medium setting.
• When the griddle is lit turn the heat set-
ting back to “LOW”.
• After a short while as the griddle heats it
likely will discolor with the heat. Colors
range through different shades of blue and
black. This is a normal characteristic of
griddle plates and should be expected.
• After approximately 30 minutes, wipe
away the oil and apply a second coat.
Wipe away the excess.
OPERATION
NEVER use this appliance as a space
heater to heat or warm the room. Doing
so may result in carbon monoxide poison-
ing and overheating.

RGTNB 2008
• Increase the heat setting at the control
knob 1/8 turn every 15 minutes. Stop at
three quarters of the available knob rota-
tion. Do NOT heat to the maximum set-
ting during the seasoning process.
• During normal use if the griddle is not
overheated or food is not allowed to stick
re-seasoning should not be required.
• If necessary the seasoning procedure may
be repeated.
• Always pre-heat the griddle at least 20
minutes before cooking. Pre-heat on low.
Do NOT pre-heat on high.
• Do not bang the griddle plate with metal
cooking utensils. Be careful not to gouge
the griddle plate surface.
• Do NOT overheat the griddle. In between
loads turn to a lower setting. Turn off
when not in use.
• Allow to cool when done cooking. Scrape
off excess food and wipe off oil coatings.
Do NOT wash griddle plate or it will re-
quire re-seasoning. Apply a new oil coat-
ing and wipe off excess. Do NOT allow
to stand without a new oil coating to pre-
vent rust.
• Never flood a hot griddle with cold water.
This may cause the griddle plate to crack
or warp and will void your warranty.
CHARBROILER
• Insure there is nothing on the grilling
rack.
• Push in and turn the control knob counter
clockwise approximately halfway to
“HIGH”.
• The hot surface ignitor will glow brightly,
gas will flow from the valve and the
burner will light. This takes approxi-
mately one minute.
• Adjust the flame to the desired height.
• After cooking allow to cool completely.
• Remove the drip pan slowly, discard
grease and food particles. Wash with
warm soapy water, rinse and replace.
• The char broiler grate is porcelain coated
and may be washed with hot soapy water
and a grill brush.
RAISED GRIDDLE BROILER
• The raised griddle broiler section has
three elevations. Combine the various
rack positions and burner settings for dif-
ferent foods and different finished results.
• Position rack to the proper height for the
food to be cooked.
• Press in and turn burner knob approxi-
mately halfway to “HIGH”. The spark
ignitor will begin to “click”, gas will flow
and the burner will light.
• The spark ignitor will click until the grid-
dle is lit. If the ignitor clicks more than
10 times turn the valve off, wait five min-
utes and try again.
• Adjust the valve to get the setting you de-
sire.
• After cooking allow griddle and racks to
cool completely.
• The pull out racks under the raised griddle
may be cleaned with hot soapy water.
• In the event heavy soiling occurs a com-
mercial oven cleaner may be used.
FRENCH TOP
• Remove all factory materials and wash the
French Top plate with hot soapy water.
Rinse and dry thoroughly.
• To light the burner turn the corresponding
control knob to HIGH. This knob is a gas
control valve and an electrical switch.
Turning to the High position begins the
ignition sequence. The ignitors begin to
“click”. As gas flows through the piping
to the burner the sparking ignites it. After
the flame lights the ignitor senses its heat
and the clicking automatically stops.
OPERATION

RGTNB 2008
• After a short while as the French Top
heats it will begin to discolor. This is a
normal characteristic of steel plates and
should be expected. The coloring will be
varying shades of blue to black. It is per-
manent and to be expected.
• Always pre-heat your French Top at least
20 minutes before cooking. After lighting
turn the flame to Low. Pre-heat on Low.
Do not pre-heat on High.
• Do not bang the plate with metal cooking
utensils. Be careful not to gouge the sur-
face.
• In between uses turn the control to a lower
setting. Turn off when not in use.
• Your French Top is not a cooking griddle.
It is not intended for food to contact or be
cooked directly on the steel plate.
• You may wish to remove one or both cen-
ter rings to insert a wok directly over the
burner flame for stir-fry cooking.
• Allow to cool when done cooking.
• Never flood a hot steel plate with cold wa-
ter. This may cause the steel to crack or
warp and will void your warranty.

• In extreme conditions use a cloth soaked
in hot water to sit on the soiled area to
soften the residue and allow it to be safely
cleaned off. LIGHT scraping with a rub-
ber or nylon spatula may be used to finish
lifting residue off.
• Do NOT use a metal knife, spatula or
similar or any metal tool to scrape these
surfaces.
• Do NOT permit citrus or tomato juices to
sit and dry on these surfaces. Wipe such
spills immediately. Citric acid will dis-
color stainless steel.
BURNERS
• The top grates of your appliance may be
effectively cleaned with hot soapy water.
• In the event of heavy soiling, a commer-
cially available oven cleaner may be
safely used on these parts. Be sure to fol-
low the manufacturer’s instructions for
use. Insure the cleaning chemical does
not contact any painted surfaces on your

tioned so your cooking pan will sit flat
and level.
• A front top grate may be removed and the
cooking pan placed directly into the cut-
out for stir-fry cooking.

AIR SHUTTER ADJUSTMENTS
Air shutter adjustments are preset at the fac-
tory. These adjustments may need to be re-
done and/or fine tuned by the installer. These
adjustments are normal. They are the respon-
sibility of the qualified installer and are not
covered by your warranty.
TOP BURNER AIR SHUTTER
ADJUSTMENT
Before attempting to adjust any top burner air
shutter, insure the following has been checked
and is correct:
• Proper gas type - match serial plate
• Proper regulator setting
• Orifice aligned - parallel with the venturi
to the burner
After verifying the gas, regulator and orifices
adjust the air shutter by:
• Remove all top cooking sections associ-
ated with the burner(s) to be adjusted.
• Use a screwdriver to loosen the air shutter
tightening screw.
• Turn the air shutter as required to adjust
the flame - open gap for “lazy” flame,
close gap for “lifting” flame.
• Test burner, allow to burn at least 30 sec-
onds.
• If necessary, turn off burner and readjust.
• Turn off burner, tighten shutter screw and
replace top sections when complete.
A properly adjusted burner will have a coni-
cal shaped blue flame, however, on some lar-
ger burners (22K) the cones are close together
and blend into one another. Yellow tips nor-
mally flicker occasionally with natural gas,
more often with propane. The flame should
be almost all blue all the time.
