Thank you for buying a Rangemaster oven. It should give you
many years trouble-free cooking if installed and operated
correctly. It is important that you read this section before you
start, particularly if you have not used an electric oven before.
This appliance is designed for domestic cooking
only. Using it for any other purpose could invalidate
any warranty or liability claim. In particular, the
oven should NOT be used for heating the kitchen
– besides invalidating claims, this wastes fuel and
may overheat the control knobs.
Installation and Maintenance
The electrical installation should be in accordance
with BS 7671, or with the relevant national and local
regulations. Have the installer show you the location of
the oven control switch and mark it for easy reference.
Only a qualified service engineer should service the oven,
and only approved spare parts should be used.
Make sure that the oven is wired in and switched on.
Always allow the oven to cool and then switch it off at the mains
before cleaning or carrying out any maintenance work, unless
otherwise specified in this guide.
Before First Use
Before using the oven for the first time clean it thoroughly.
Switch off the unit at the isolator or mains supply. Remove all
packing materials and accessories. Using hot water and a mild
detergent, wipe the oven interior and then rinse carefully
with a damp cloth. Wash the oven shelves and accessories in
a dishwasher or using hot water and a mild detergent and dry
thoroughly.
Slide the oven shelves into the oven and close the door. To
dispel any manufacturing smells, turn the oven to 200°C and
run for an hour.
Before using the grill for the first time you should also turn on
the grill and run for 30 minutes with the grill pan in position,
pushed fully back, and the grill door open.
1. Before You Start...
Personal Safety
Accessible parts will become hot during use and
will retain heat even after you have stopped
cooking.
Keep babies and children away from the
oven.
When the oven is not in use, ensure that the control
knobs are in the OFF position.
To minimise the possibility of burns, always be
certain that the controls are in the OFF position and
that the entire oven is cool before attempting to
clean.
Use dry oven gloves when applicable – using damp
gloves might result in steam burns when you touch a
hot surface. Never operate the oven with wet hands.
Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of a
glove – it might catch fire if it touches a hot surface.
Always keep combustible wall coverings or curtains,
etc., a safe distance away from your oven, and never
wear loose-fitting or hanging clothes while using the
appliance.
Do not store or use aerosols, or any other potentially
combustible or flammable materials, in the vicinity
of the oven.
Care should be taken to avoid touching the heating
elements inside the main oven.
Whole chickens and large joints of meat should be
defrosted thoroughly in the refrigerator. Do not
defrost in a warm oven or while the adjoining oven
is in operation or still warm.
Cooking high moisture content foods can create a
‘steam burst’ when the oven door is opened. When
opening the oven stand well back and allow any
steam to disperse.
When the oven is on, DO NOT leave the oven door
open for longer than necessary.
Never heat unopened food containers. Pressure
build-up may cause the containers to burst and
cause injury.
Do not use aluminium foil to cover shelves, linings or
the oven roof.
This appliance is heavy, so take care when moving it.
Cleaning
In the interests of hygiene and safety, the oven should
be kept clean at all times as a build up in fats and other
foodstuffs could result in a fire.
Clean only the parts listed in this guide.
Clean with caution. If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe
spills on a hot surface, be careful to avoid steam burns. Some
cleansers can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot
surface.
