Yes @Zline did recall this stove that I currently have. Very disappointed. They " fixed" the recall issue beginning of the year only to have the same issue ( carbon monoxide emissions) a couple of months later and still no stove or oven because my local electric and gas Co. Capped everything off and told us it was dangerous. Since then Zline has sent not one , two but now waiting on the there third opinion (local stove technician) to apparently get a third opinion. Very disappointed and upset. I'd rather junk it than take a chance on my family getting I'll or worse case scenario.
So glad I saw this video and read the comments. I’m building a new house and was planning on getting this range but I will be looking for something else now. Not dealing with the problems and especially the noises
Zline used to be on top of their game but in the last few years, the started to cheap out on the product and doesnt feel heavy duty. I think their components have suffered as well. I am deciding what stove to buy and i'm glad I stumbled on your review.
Thank you for the review. We purchased the same system about 3 months ago. We love it. Haven’t had the issue with the bottom support and we were sent extra set. I also have an issue with the oven light but work around it.
Thanks for taking the time to review your ZLINE range and hood. My wife and I purchased the 30” gas top/gas oven model about a month ago and our experience has been similar to yours with a few additional annoyances. When the oven is turned on, a fan comes on and blows hot air from the oven, out the front. Not good. There doesn’t seem to be a way turn that fan off and the actual fan switch doesn’t seem to do anything whether it’s pushed in or out. Also when the oven is turned on, the bottom panel in the oven will warp up and down a bit and sometimes makes a banging noise. As far as the oven pre-heat goes (the blue light), it’s been hit or miss for us. At the lower temps, up to 325º, the oven doesn’t really hold a steady temperature. At the higher temps, it’s better. My opinion: for the price, ZLINE should be a much better product. It looks nice, but falls short of providing a good cooking experience. For anyone that cooks a lot (and is very serious about their cooking!) I think you would be better off getting a Wolf, Viking or Five Star. We will be reaching out to ZLINE with the above mentioned issues and I will be sure to let you know what happens.
That must be what makes our noise! Indeed you are correct. In our case, the oven does seem to hold consistent temperature. You can hear the oven come on as well in this video.
I have the exact same issues and I have the same model as you 🥲 the banging of the bottom tray, the 50-75 degree baking variant, and also my oven racks roll out every single time I open the door, even though the unit is level.
I have a Viking D3, and the fan noise ramps up as soon as the oven turns on, and stays on after it is off until the interior reaches a "safe" temperature. It is an annoyance, but like a cuckoo clock, eventually you don't notice it. Just to let you know the ZLine isn't the only one. Thanks for the honest long term review - usually a lot of reviews when new, but none when it comes to 6mos, 1 yr, etc.
@@mgambuzz3 The fan noise doesn't bother me. The problem for me is having hot air blow in my face as I'm checking something in the oven. There's enough hot air coming out of the oven as is when I open the oven door that is compounded by the oven ventilation blowing out the front. That seems like a design flaw to me. Why isn't the oven ventilation blowing out the back end?

Excellent review! I've had this range still boxed up, for several months for our house we are currently building....so excited to be able to use it soon, especially after your review!
I found a black version with the brass rings at a local ReStore, second hand store, literally was brand new, only covered in grease everywhere. Definitely worth the cleaning for $800. Currently waiting to install after my kitchen renovation is done
Thorough review! I agree that ZLINE appliances provide top-notch quality and design. It’s always helpful to explore all options and understand the functionality of these products before making a decision. Has anyone else found other resources to compare and contrast different ZLINE products?
Noise from a range hood is mostly from the air movement. If you used flexible ducting on your range hood, it will be significantly louder than if you use galvanized rigid ducting. The flexible ducting will also move a lot less air.
Yes, the motor definitely is moving a lot of air! We used rigid ducting instead of the provided ducting from ZLINE. I guess we just got so used to it at this point that it does not bug us anymore. Thanks for the info!

The noises you hear are from expansion. Also, when the fan spins remember they are vertical, as the metal expanse there becomes space on the pivoting shafts and will cause the fans to slide forward or backwards. That might be the slight bang you here but the whining is the deferential of the spinning fans. Keep in mind this company is very new to the business and are still learning a lot. The plastic feet for the weight defanantly needs to be rplaced. If they are trying to save money I would recommend using wood. Its much stronger than hollow plastic. I do not know if using a white lithium spray grease would be smelled or get into the cooking but thats what I use on fans as a mechanical engineer. That will lower those noises but I do not know if the heat will burn it off after time. You did a awesome job on the install. Those little draws on the side did you build them to fit your space? Hey, your wife should be proud. LOL loved the video. You will probably want to kick me, i bought one with a slight dent for 500. Someone ordered it and was upset about the dent so returned it to the store. They had it on clearance for 790. I buy so much from this lowes that all the managers know me so they knocked off 290 for me. As soon as I loaded it 5 customers seen it and wanted to buy it off of me for 1000 dollars. Like monkey see monkey wants. When it was on display they didn't see spending 790 but once I had it they wanted to give me a 1000. Wow!
Pretty crazy! Congrats on your find. I did not make the drawers. It was hard to find something that would fit in that space! Thank you for the kind words. I will definitely take a look at spraying the fans. ZLINE sent me a pair of brackets to help reinforce the steel, but I haven't installed them, because I never received the manual to do so. For now, we just live with it.
@@Jive_Engineering Hi there! We apologize you did not receive the proper instructions on how to install your brackets. If you give us a call at 614-777-5004 or contact us via our contact form our customer service team would be happy to assist you with this! Thank you.
Thanks for the candid review. I had an order to buy this stove but your review made me think twice about it I went with The Thor HRG3618U for the same price and looks ever better w a 5.2 oven.
Go to your nearest metal shop have them cut some stainless tubing weld a bolt on top and add a polished bottom to it fixed. Yes you shouldn't have to do it but you got the bones like a classic car now you can modify it .
True, but that seems like something they should do. Seeing as a range is rarely moved once settled, I don't see it as a major problem for most people. But as an engineer, it bugs me to see it!
I added some vinyl clear wrap to the piece that will scratch, also added a liner around the grates from amazon. Hopefully this will combat some of the issues that you talked about.
I have this same unit. I've had it for just over a year. I love the stove, but the oven is a little disappointing. It takes for freaking ever to preheat, and it definitely cooks unevenly. My food comes out with blotchy brown spots on one side, and not on the other. Also the racks don't sit level, so my cakes come out a bit slanted on one side. My oven never makes those noises you mentioned, but the vent hood is obnoxiously loud. Overall the stove gets an A+ but the oven gets a C-.
I just did a video where you can see some of the hotspots on the oven. The right side of the oven seems to be lacking some heat, but not by much. However, I know in baking that this makes a huge difference.
Yikes! Agreed, those legs are inexcusable. @zline needs to make this right -- PLASTIC is drastic. I'm so sick of companies cheaping out / making inferior products. Who would have guessed that an old Wedgewood still beats out 'new' products. It's like we went backwards. Also, what's with the knob only at 50 degree increments? So many things call for 375. Not even little indicator lines in between? My husband wants a bigger stove and was heavily leaning towards ZLine but between the always on fan, cheap legs, pre-heat light and knob lameness, and only 1 year warranty (means they don't really stand behind their product IMHO), I'm going to look around more or convince him to keep our Fisher Paykel with our 5 year warranty.
Not sure of your gripe with the light and preheating. Once it reaches temperature it turns off the heating so it’s normal for it to drop in temperature and kick on again. Bottom line -when the lights on you know you’re good to go
This is incorrect. The light must be OFF. That lets you know that the oven is preheated. The problem is you don't get any audible feedback to let you know it is up to temp. If you go away while it is on, and it turns off while you are away, you can come back and find that it turned back on just to reach the temperature again.
Have my 30" Zline gas range electrice oven. Love the range, however, my oven cooks unevenly, I'm sure a slight adjustment needs to be made. I've tried to contact Zline several times and finally got through, spoke to a customer rep who sent me a trouble shooting list, which consisted of three things that could have been done while on the phone! I sent back all the information and haven't received any feed back from the company... its going on 5 days! I love the look and I'm sure it could be a wonderful system if I could get it to work properly. Also there isn't a operational manual anywhere to be found. The youtube videos are somewhat helpful, but this needs to be recalabrated and Home Depot where it was purchased sent me to the company, so yes I'm frustrated. What's happened to customer service????
While I have not had the issues you had, the customer service did reach out to me to check the sounds my range was making. Perhaps making a video of your experience will make them reach out?
its the nature of convection, the fan only circulates hot air in one direction, you need to turn your trays halfway through baking. I worked in french bakeries ( owned a few too) for 50 years, we always used convection, its the best. Its a problem selling pro equipment design to the public, " all the gear and no idea." I'm not connected to zline but you can check my baking videos, I know this stove is very good. We have ordered the 36 with hood...and NO the hood isn't loud, try stepping into a pro kitchen and hear those hoods.
Hello Denise, Thank you for your comment. We sincerely apologize for the experience you've been having with the oven on your range.

Hi there! Our opinion has not changed much. We did contact Zline about the noises, and they sent me out some brackets, but they never told me how to install them. For now, we just live with the noises, as it does not seem to affect the performance of this range. Please let me know if you have any further questions.
Great review! I’d be worried about those legs too! Yes how big is your kitchen? I’m thinking of getting a 36inch range but I’m not sure how it would look. Can you do a full kitchen review?
Thanks a bunch! Our kitchen is about 250 square feet. I highly suggest you use a CAD program to model it out, it will give you a good idea on how things will look. There are a bunch of free ones out there. I am going to do a review on our cabinets so maybe you can see how big it is there.
Don't mean to rain on your parade, but my very first impression was the lack of space on either side of the burners. If it's an issue, I am sure you will find ways to work around it, but still. Also plugging in electrical tools or small appliances, that is having cables close to open flames or hot surfaces could be risky.
Thank you for your concern. The space for us is very adequate and we have not had an issue at all after using this range every single day. I totally understand your concern for the appliances; however, we tested how much heat concentrates in that area and how much heat the small appliances could absorb, and we found it to be negligible. We did this using a thermal imaging camera with a stock pot cooking for a couple of hours.
Thank you so much! I bought these at RTA Cabinet Supply already assembled. Here is the link: www.rtacabinetsupply.com/pre-assembled-cabinets/madison-grey-shaker/bsdc06-madison-grey-shaker-pre-assembled.html
That is not the noise we have complained about. There is a loud bang and squeak that sometimes occurs. We contacted ZLINE about it and they agreed it is not normal.
@@Jive_Engineering Hi there! Thank you for your comment. We sincerely apologize for the noise you've been hearing from your range.

My question is… I am finding that a lot of stoves (kitchen aide and Wolfe, so far) the stove is practically on the floor. To me, this makes it difficult to lift a heavy pot out of oven, do the legs help lift the oven higher off the floor? I know strange question, but being 63, lifting something from lower oven makes a difference. Thanx Donna
Awesome review! We just bought this range and are excited to install it. Can you tell me the distance between your stove and refrigerator? We have a small space and not sure what the minimum distance is? Thank you
I bought with dual fuel oven is electric. Agree on the cheap legs. Would like to know what Z Line proposes to fix it. Only other complaint is the oven drafts out the front of the door. Gets hot when baking. Not sure I fully understand why the front. Exhaust fan placement?
From what I read, it seems like it is used to keep the controls cool. However, I don't think I buy that. I don't think we have had an official explanation form ZLINE about this. I am going to perform some thermal tests in a different video.
My Zline oven just stopped heating to the right temperature. I have read on Utube that this happens on dual fuel ovens and somebody said there is a relay switch under the left front burner to the oven. I cannot find that switch and my oven won’t heat past 150.
Nice video. Looking to get the same. Are brass burners a good upgrade? necessary? Even my cheap oven has a simple effective buzzer when it's preheated. Why the light?? thx Allan

Hello Dave, Thank you for your comment. To our understanding, this is the dual fuel model (RA36). If you have any other questions, feel free to reach out to us at zlinekitchen.com/contact we'd be happy to help! Thank you.

Hello Humberto, Thank you for your comment. The only thing important to know about the installation of our dual fuel ranges is they run on a 220V/240V system, and have a 4-prong plug. You should make sure your home is set up to work with this setup, otherwise, any changes made to the power cord for our appliances will void the warranty. If you have any other questions, feel free to reach out to our team at zlinekitchen.com/contact and we'd be happy to answer all of your questions! Thank you.
Do you mean the one for the oven? That is a timer that you can set and it will automatically turn it off at the allotted time. If you prefer, you can leave it on by turning it on the ON position. It will stay on until you use that same knob to turn it off. In other models, the timer is removed and it is used as a setting knob.
Hello Nicole, JIVE did a great job of explaining the use for the left knob on our gas ranges. The left knob can be used as a safety feature as well as a timer to let you know when your food is finished cooking! If you have any other questions on how to use your range, please reach out to us at zlinekitchen.com/contact and we'll have a member of our team assist you right away. Thank you!
@@ZLINEKitchen I just bought our ZLiNe looks fantastic. I adjusted the flames on each burner. However only after 3 days use, the far right burner is no longer clicking when you go to turn on the front right burner no clicking. I have to turn on one of the other burners to light the front right one. Any idea how I can remedy this? Thank you
Hello Helen, Thank you for your comment. To answer your question, this range appears to be in stainless steel. Please let us know if you have any other questions. Thank you
@@abrahamhernandez5977 Hello Abraham, thank you for your comment. This ZLINE Gas on Gas Range has an electrical requirement of VAC: 110/120V, Plug: NEMA 5-15P, and Amp: 5A. Please let us know if you have any other questions!
The gas line comes in at a smaller distance than the piece that bulges out. There is about a 24-30 inch clearance that allows you to place the gas line valve without hitting the back.
Yes it does. You set it, and it turns off the oven after you hear the ding. If you wish to have it on indefinitely, you can just set it to the ON position. Be aware, though, that some models do not have the timer, and instead have the mode knob. The model I specified here, does have the timer.
@@twinkle04evr What a lot of people are ignorant about is there is a rule that any fan over 400CFM needs a make up air system especially in colder climates where opening a window isn’t an option. The incoming air also needs to be tempered by passing over a heating element. These large range hoods can cause negative pressure in the home and reverse furnaces, woodstoves and hot water heater exhaust flues turning them into intakes bringing noxious fumes back into the home. People need to do their due diligence on these matters. Sales people don’t give a crap about it and will sell you anything you want and to hell with the consequences. Sizing a fan is calculated in two ways. 1) Calculate the sqft of the kitchen and double it for the bare minimum cfm removal the fan can suck out. 2) The total BTU’s of the top burners and the oven if all where running at the same time. A 108,000btu range requires minimum 600CFM. A 200,000btu range needs 1200CFM fan, that is some serious air changes per minute that will suck the windows and walls in if the air is not replaced and the home balanced.
I don't understand why people purchase equipment and leave the goofy stickers on... Please Take Them Off!!! They serve no purpose! Do you also leave you mattress and pillow labels on? (Jus'kidding) Nice Review :-)
Does the outside of you oven on the front and sides get extremely hot? Ours does...was wondering the long slot/opening behind the stove burners is supposed to blow air out or suck air in?? Was thinking it might be wire backwards and venting into the oven instead of out? Any info. you can share would be greatly appreciated.
Hello Shane, Thank you for your comment. The long slot you are referring to in the back is to allow for extra venting on our gas ranges and is necessary for airflow.

Could you create a video talking about this? I bought the new stove for watching your video but I did not take into consideration the already existing voltage of my old stove and the installation of a bigger outlet is very expensive.. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME ..this is just a comment
@@abrahamhernandez5977 Hi Abraham, the model number for this one is RG-36, which means both the oven and the range run on gas only. It sounds like you went with a different model number that looks identical to this one, which is the RA-36. That one requires a 220 outlet for the oven. Confirm that your model number is correct and that you ordered the correct one. If you did order the RG-36, then ZLINE sent you the wrong one. Thanks.
This stove looks as tho it's attempting to look like a high end brand. Not really feeling how small the window is for the oven. I recently bought a Decor professional range for my kitchen reno.. tho it was very expensive (12 thousand), the wife and I really love the quality and build.
There is a point of diminishing return for me. Dacor got bought out by Samsung if I remember, and I haven't really had a good experience with Samsung. But next time, I'll think about it!
@@Jive_Engineering no doubt.. I should have mentioned that we went to a scratch and save and found our exact same stove for 4600.. the stress knowing how much money I could have saved definitely took a toll on me lol.. that said, maybe check out one of those places. They tend to carry display products or slightly scratched (on the side) products for less than half the original price.
You failed to mention that the oven fan is unbelievably loud, blows a heavy stream of hot air straight out and does nothing but annoy you and make your kitchen hot as hell.
Hi Jeff, Thank you for your comment. Our ranges vent the hot air out the front and top of the range. If you believe the exterior of the oven is abnormally hot, please reach out to us at zlinekitchen.com/contact and we will assist you right away!
Just got one and the hot stream of air is terrible. Our entire house is now 85 degrees after 2 hours of oven set to 400. Outside of the oven (sides and top back vent) are extremely hot to the touch. Thinking this is a design flaw. So disappointed
@@brondavosburgh-gray3169 No, it's not something that can be repaired. It designed this way and there are other MAJOR issues which are design flaws which will make you regret buying this brand. The only good thing I can say about Zline is how it looks. Too many other issues to list but if you dig deeper and read other reviews posted on-line elsewhere, you will find many other problems which are accurate. If you were buying this because you wanted a professional looking stove, but didn't want to pay for a Viking, Wolf, Miele, Monogram or Thermador, I recommend you cancel your order and maybe look at BlueStar or another brand. You will thank your lucky stars, Trust Me!!! Now you owe me dinner.
The ovens tend to stop heating properly. Mine won't go past 250 now, I've had it for 19 months. Replacement parts extremely hard to get and install. For these people who are a year or less into ownership, give it time. But they look pretty.
By not cleaning it I show you that I actually use it. It also shows what you can expect it to look like after using it for a while. If you don't like it, then click the dislike button. Simple as that.

I buy so much from this lowes that all the managers know me so they knocked off 290 for me. As soon as I loaded it 5 customers seen it and wanted to buy it off of me for 1000 dollars. Like monkey see monkey wants. When it was on display they didn't see spending 790 but once I had it they wanted to give me a 1000. Wow!
Pretty crazy! Congrats on your find. I did not make the drawers. It was hard to find something that would fit in that space! Thank you for the kind words. I will definitely take a look at spraying the fans. ZLINE sent me a pair of brackets to help reinforce the steel, but I haven't installed them, because I never received the manual to do so. For now, we just live with it.
@@Jive_Engineering Hi there! We apologize you did not receive the proper instructions on how to install your brackets. If you give us a call at 614-777-5004 or contact us via our contact form our customer service team would be happy to assist you with this! Thank you.
Thanks for the candid review. I had an order to buy this stove but your review made me think twice about it
I went with The Thor HRG3618U for the same price and looks ever better w a 5.2 oven.
i found the Thor so flimsy!!! did you get a different model that didn't shake when you closed the door?
@@dr.scottbrunengraber5227 shake?? Nope! This thing is awesome
Go to your nearest metal shop have them cut some stainless tubing weld a bolt on top and add a polished bottom to it fixed.
Yes you shouldn't have to do it but you got the bones like a classic car now you can modify it .
True, but that seems like something they should do. Seeing as a range is rarely moved once settled, I don't see it as a major problem for most people. But as an engineer, it bugs me to see it!
I added some vinyl clear wrap to the piece that will scratch, also added a liner around the grates from amazon. Hopefully this will combat some of the issues that you talked about.
I have not thought about doing that, but I did add some liners to the grates and they have worked tremendously well.
Where did you buy and what exactly did you buy? We just ordered a 30 in dual range
@@stephdrees8714 the video tells you exactly what model I bought.
@@Jive_EngineeringGreat video. Which liners did you buy? We are installing same unit soon
I just got two of these babies last week. Completely free and brand new.
Nice! Did you get the range as well?
@@Jive_Engineering he did say "two"
Free as in "fell of the back of a truck"?
Noise is expansion and contraction of the metal
I have this same unit. I've had it for just over a year. I love the stove, but the oven is a little disappointing. It takes for freaking ever to preheat, and it definitely cooks unevenly. My food comes out with blotchy brown spots on one side, and not on the other. Also the racks don't sit level, so my cakes come out a bit slanted on one side. My oven never makes those noises you mentioned, but the vent hood is obnoxiously loud. Overall the stove gets an A+ but the oven gets a C-.
I just did a video where you can see some of the hotspots on the oven. The right side of the oven seems to be lacking some heat, but not by much. However, I know in baking that this makes a huge difference.
Yikes! Agreed, those legs are inexcusable. @zline needs to make this right -- PLASTIC is drastic. I'm so sick of companies cheaping out / making inferior products. Who would have guessed that an old Wedgewood still beats out 'new' products. It's like we went backwards. Also, what's with the knob only at 50 degree increments? So many things call for 375. Not even little indicator lines in between? My husband wants a bigger stove and was heavily leaning towards ZLine but between the always on fan, cheap legs, pre-heat light and knob lameness, and only 1 year warranty (means they don't really stand behind their product IMHO), I'm going to look around more or convince him to keep our Fisher Paykel with our 5 year warranty.
Not sure of your gripe with the light and preheating. Once it reaches temperature it turns off the heating so it’s normal for it to drop in temperature and kick on again. Bottom line -when the lights on you know you’re good to go
This is incorrect. The light must be OFF. That lets you know that the oven is preheated. The problem is you don't get any audible feedback to let you know it is up to temp. If you go away while it is on, and it turns off while you are away, you can come back and find that it turned back on just to reach the temperature again.
Hopefully they see this and improve.
Have my 30" Zline gas range electrice oven. Love the range, however, my oven cooks unevenly, I'm sure a slight adjustment needs to be made. I've tried to contact Zline several times and finally got through, spoke to a customer rep who sent me a trouble shooting list, which consisted of three things that could have been done while on the phone! I sent back all the information and haven't received any feed back from the company... its going on 5 days! I love the look and I'm sure it could be a wonderful system if I could get it to work properly. Also there isn't a operational manual anywhere to be found. The youtube videos are somewhat helpful, but this needs to be recalabrated and Home Depot where it was purchased sent me to the company, so yes I'm frustrated. What's happened to customer service????
While I have not had the issues you had, the customer service did reach out to me to check the sounds my range was making. Perhaps making a video of your experience will make them reach out?
its the nature of convection, the fan only circulates hot air in one direction, you need to turn your trays halfway through baking. I worked in french bakeries ( owned a few too) for 50 years, we always used convection, its the best. Its a problem selling pro equipment design to the public, " all the gear and no idea."
I'm not connected to zline but you can check my baking videos, I know this stove is very good.
We have ordered the 36 with hood...and NO the hood isn't loud, try stepping into a pro kitchen and hear those hoods.
@@gerardjones7881 Thanks for your info! I'll definitely check out your channel. Always looking to improve my baking skills. :)

Where's the part that shows the inside of the oven? No racks or the heating element is shown.
@Jive Engineering. Great review! Now that some time has passed since, have your opinions changed? Did you contact ZLine about the noises.
Hi there! Our opinion has not changed much. We did contact Zline about the noises, and they sent me out some brackets, but they never told me how to install them. For now, we just live with the noises, as it does not seem to affect the performance of this range. Please let me know if you have any further questions.
@@Jive_Engineering Thank you for your reply!
Great review! I’d be worried about those legs too! Yes how big is your kitchen? I’m thinking of getting a 36inch range but I’m not sure how it would look. Can you do a full kitchen review?
Thanks a bunch! Our kitchen is about 250 square feet. I highly suggest you use a CAD program to model it out, it will give you a good idea on how things will look. There are a bunch of free ones out there. I am going to do a review on our cabinets so maybe you can see how big it is there.
@@Jive_Engineering Thank you so much!
Does it come built in or the back can take off.
Don't mean to rain on your parade, but my very first impression was the lack of space on either side of the burners. If it's an issue, I am sure you will find ways to work around it, but still. Also plugging in electrical tools or small appliances, that is having cables close to open flames or hot surfaces could be risky.
Thank you for your concern. The space for us is very adequate and we have not had an issue at all after using this range every single day. I totally understand your concern for the appliances; however, we tested how much heat concentrates in that area and how much heat the small appliances could absorb, and we found it to be negligible. We did this using a thermal imaging camera with a stock pot cooking for a couple of hours.
Great review! I love those narrow drawer cabinets on the sides of your range. Where'd you find them?
Thank you so much! I bought these at RTA Cabinet Supply already assembled. Here is the link:

Just get a remote digital oven thermometer.
Get one that connects to your smartphone.
Does "no clock" feature of pro ranges bother? Actually I don't quite understand why it's called pro range compared to ge, samsung, and etc.
Omg noise is a total NO!! Thanks for posting!
FYI the noise is behind the panel it’s the cooling fan to keep the control cool completely normal
That is not the noise we have complained about. There is a loud bang and squeak that sometimes occurs. We contacted ZLINE about it and they agreed it is not normal.
@@Jive_Engineering Hi there!

Thank you.
My question is… I am finding that a lot of stoves (kitchen aide and Wolfe, so far) the stove is practically on the floor. To me, this makes it difficult to lift a heavy pot out of oven, do the legs help lift the oven higher off the floor? I know strange question, but being 63, lifting something from lower oven makes a difference.
Thanx
Donna
Awesome review! We just bought this range and are excited to install it. Can you tell me the distance between your stove and refrigerator? We have a small space and not sure what the minimum distance is? Thank you
The distance is 12 inches.
I bought with dual fuel oven is electric. Agree on the cheap legs. Would like to know what Z Line proposes to fix it.
Only other complaint is the oven drafts out the front of the door. Gets hot when baking. Not sure I fully understand why the front. Exhaust fan placement?
From what I read, it seems like it is used to keep the controls cool. However, I don't think I buy that. I don't think we have had an official explanation form ZLINE about this. I am going to perform some thermal tests in a different video.
My Zline oven just stopped heating to the right temperature. I have read on Utube that this happens on dual fuel ovens and somebody said there is a relay switch under the left front burner to the oven. I cannot find that switch and my oven won’t heat past 150.
Nice video. Looking to get the same. Are brass burners a good upgrade? necessary?
Even my cheap oven has a simple effective buzzer when it's preheated. Why the light?? thx Allan
Why don’t you take off the sticker on the door and glass???
Just haven't gotten around to it. I did now :)
I would love to know where did you get the little cabinets on the sides of the range, because I have a 6"in space in one side of my range.
Hi there, we got these off of RTA cabinet supply. Here is the link for those.

I purchased mine in October of 2021. It was just installed and converted to LP. There is no clicking sound and I have to turn on with lighter. I have not been able to get ahold of zline. What can I do
Looks like the Z-Line juts out from the front edge of the cabinetry by about 3 inches. Are your cabinets 24" depth?
That is correct. The butcher block, however, was cut to be flush with the top of the range. Let me know if you have any other questions or comments.
I was just wondering is that the dual fuel - gas top & electric oven that you have?

Is there anything special that we need to know to install it ? Since is dual fuel
This particular model is not the dual fuel. I stated the model in the video.
Hello Humberto,
Thank you for your comment. The only thing important to know about the installation of our dual fuel ranges is they run on a 220V/240V system, and have a 4-prong plug. You should make sure your home is set up to work with this setup, otherwise, any changes made to the power cord for our appliances will void the warranty.
If you have any other questions, feel free to reach out to our team at zlinekitchen.com/contact and we'd be happy to answer all of your questions!
Thank you.
Hi - good review. I just received mine and it's quite confusing. Whats the knob for to the left of the one to turn on the actual range?
Do you mean the one for the oven? That is a timer that you can set and it will automatically turn it off at the allotted time. If you prefer, you can leave it on by turning it on the ON position. It will stay on until you use that same knob to turn it off. In other models, the timer is removed and it is used as a setting knob.
Hello Nicole,
JIVE did a great job of explaining the use for the left knob on our gas ranges. The left knob can be used as a safety feature as well as a timer to let you know when your food is finished cooking!

@@ZLINEKitchen I just bought our ZLiNe looks fantastic. I adjusted the flames on each burner.

Is this stainless steel or durasnow? It's so beautiful, great review, thx!
Hello Helen,

Is this the regular stainless or durasnow? Wondering how you feel its handled potential run ins that might cause scratches or dents.
Stainless steel. I haven't had that many scratches on it (probably only the top chin). I will probably do an update to show how it's held up.
I love mine have no issues
The system
What is the function of the fan button? Seems like the fan is on either way
Useless, as far as I can tell.
how did you install this range so that there is not huge gap in the back against the wall??
The gas line comes in at a smaller distance than the piece that bulges out. There is about a 24-30 inch clearance that allows you to place the gas line valve without hitting the back.
Have you thought of contacting the company and asking for another leg?
I have already done that. But it is a major design flaw to have it made out of plastic.
Are the legs removable?
Yes, you twist to remove them.
@@Jive_Engineering alright thanks for the quick reply
Why are there eight knobs when there’s six burners and one oven? Thx
6 of them are to control the burners. The other 2 are for the oven. One is a timer, and the other one is the temperature dial.
I like this
I bought my Zline hood...too noisy and hear vents rattles..junk...sending it back to Lowe's.
May I please ask, does the oven have a timer? If so, how does it work?
Yes it does. You set it, and it turns off the oven after you hear the ding. If you wish to have it on indefinitely, you can just set it to the ON position. Be aware, though, that some models do not have the timer, and instead have the mode knob. The model I specified here, does have the timer.
@@Jive_Engineering is that the same for all models?
@@usernamenotvisibIe If it has the timer, yes.
Which range hood is that? How many CFM?
This model is the KF-36 ZLINE Hood. It does 400 CFM at the maximum setting.
I think you should get at least 600 CFM for any gas range, the rule of thumb is total BTUs divided by 100
@@twinkle04evr What a lot of people are ignorant about is there is a rule that any fan over 400CFM needs a make up air system especially in colder climates where opening a window isn’t an option. The incoming air also needs to be tempered by passing over a heating element. These large range hoods can cause negative pressure in the home and reverse furnaces, woodstoves and hot water heater exhaust flues turning them into intakes bringing noxious fumes back into the home. People need to do their due diligence on these matters. Sales people don’t give a crap about it and will sell you anything you want and to hell with the consequences. Sizing a fan is calculated in two ways.
1) Calculate the sqft of the kitchen and double it for the bare minimum cfm removal the fan can suck out.
2) The total BTU’s of the top burners and the oven if all where running at the same time. A 108,000btu range requires minimum 600CFM. A 200,000btu range needs 1200CFM fan, that is some serious air changes per minute that will suck the windows and walls in if the air is not replaced and the home balanced.
Worst thing you can do is put your seasoning close to the stove as shown.
Can you elaborate? We have had this setup for a long time and never experienced any issues.
I don't understand why people purchase equipment and leave the goofy stickers on... Please Take Them Off!!! They serve no purpose! Do you also leave you mattress and pillow labels on? (Jus'kidding) Nice Review :-)
Does the outside of you oven on the front and sides get extremely hot? Ours does...was wondering the long slot/opening behind the stove burners is supposed to blow air out or suck air in?? Was thinking it might be wire backwards and venting into the oven instead of out? Any info. you can share would be greatly appreciated.
I would have to test this, as this is something we have not encountered. Does yours get hot to the touch?
Hello Shane,
Thank you for your comment. The long slot you are referring to in the back is to allow for extra venting on our gas ranges and is necessary for airflow.

Confirm that your model number is correct and that you ordered the correct one. If you did order the RG-36, then ZLINE sent you the wrong one. Thanks.
Is the Avon big enough,
I am not sure what you mean by that.
This stove looks as tho it's attempting to look like a high end brand. Not really feeling how small the window is for the oven. I recently bought a Decor professional range for my kitchen reno.. tho it was very expensive (12 thousand), the wife and I really love the quality and build.
There is a point of diminishing return for me. Dacor got bought out by Samsung if I remember, and I haven't really had a good experience with Samsung. But next time, I'll think about it!
@@Jive_Engineering no doubt.. I should have mentioned that we went to a scratch and save and found our exact same stove for 4600.. the stress knowing how much money I could have saved definitely took a toll on me lol.. that said, maybe check out one of those places.

Too many other issues to list but if you dig deeper and read other reviews posted on-line elsewhere, you will find many other problems which are accurate.
