Installation Instructions

WARNING!

ANTI-TIP DEVICE

All ranges can tip and injury could result.

To prevent accidental tipping of the range, install the Anti-Tip device packed with this range. (See Install the Anti-Tip Device in this section.) To check if the device is installed and engaged properly, carefully tip the range forward. The Anti-Tip device should engage and prevent the range from tipping over.

If you pull the range out from the wall for any reason, make sure the Anti-Tip device is engaged when you push the range back against the wall.

•For your safety, never use your range for warming or heating the room. Your oven and cooktop are not designed to heat your kitchen. Top burners should not be operated without cookware on the grate. Such abuse could result in fire and damage to your range and will void your warranty.

•Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. Explosions or fires could result.

•Do not use oven for a storage area. Items stored in the oven can ignite.

•Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate in or near the range.

LOCATION

Do not locate the range where it may be subject to strong drafts. Any openings in the floor or wall behind the range should be sealed. Make sure the openings around the base of the range that supply fresh air for combustion and ventilation are not obstructed by carpeting or woodwork.

Your range, like many other household items, is heavy and can settle into soft floor coverings such as cushioned vinyl or carpeting. Use care when moving the range on this type of flooring. It is recommended that the following simple and inexpensive instructions be followed to protect your floor.

The range should be installed on a sheet of plywood (or similar material). When the floor covering ends at the front of the range, the area that the range will rest on should be built up with plywood to the same level or higher than the floor covering.

This will allow the range to be moved for cleaning or servicing. Also, make sure your floor covering will withstand 180°F. (See the Installation Safety Instructions section.)

Make sure the wall coverings around your range can withstand the heat generated (up to 200°F) by the range. (See the Installation Safety Instructions section.)

MODEL AND SERIAL NUMBER LOCATION

You can find them on a label under the cooktop. See the Lift-Up Cooktop section in this manual or instructions on how to lift the cooktop.

IMPORTANT!

Remove all tape and packaging. Make sure the burners are properly seated and level.

Lift up the cooktop and remove any packing material under it.

Take the accessory pack out of the oven and/or drawer.

Check to be sure that no range parts have come loose during shipping.

One of the main features of the Hotpoint RGA724 and RGA720 is their powerful cooktop configuration. These ranges typically offer four burners with varying heat outputs, allowing home cooks to achieve precise cooking results. The burners include a high-output option, perfect for tasks that require rapid heating, such as boiling water or searing meats, while lower-output burners are ideal for simmering sauces or cooking delicate dishes.

Both the RGA724 and RGA720 are equipped with a spacious oven space that provides ample room for cooking multiple dishes simultaneously. The ovens feature a conventional baking system that ensures even heat distribution, promoting consistently baked goods and perfectly roasted meals. An additional highlight is the self-cleaning option, which allows users to maintain their range with minimal effort, making oven maintenance a hassle-free experience.

Another key technological advancement found in both models is the gas oven's precise temperature control. Adjusting the temperature is smooth and straightforward, ensuring that culinary enthusiasts can replicate recipes with accuracy. Additionally, both models feature a broiler unit, allowing for versatile cooking techniques from browning and melting cheese to quick cooking finishes.

The Hotpoint RGA724 and RGA720 also emphasize user convenience with their intuitive control panels. The knobs and digital displays are designed for easy readability and operation, enhancing the overall cooking experience. Moreover, these models often include a built-in ignition system that ensures quick and reliable burner lighting, eliminating the need for matches or lighters.

Safety is a priority with Hotpoint ranges, as demonstrated by their flame failure device, which automatically turns off the gas supply if a burner goes out. This feature provides peace of mind to users, particularly families with children.

In summary, the Hotpoint RGA724 and RGA720 models excel in both performance and functionality, making them an excellent choice for anyone looking to elevate their cooking experience.
