Q1. What power supply do I need to install my cooker?

Please ensure your fitters refer to the fitters guide before installation.

Ceramic and Induction models may be connected to a suitable 6mm cable with a 32-amp breaker (providing the isolator switch, which turns the power on and off to the cooker, does not incorporate a 13 amp socket). However to provide greater flexibility, we recommend a 10mm cable with a 45 amp breaker.

Note:

These are guidelines and other factors may alter the cable/breaker power. Therefore we cannot provide electrical information as the qualified electrician has to make calculations based on what is around the cooker e.g. boilers etc.

Q6. What does a multifunction oven do?

A . The multifunction oven offers up to eight functions for really flexible cooking. From crisping up the base of your pizza to browning your favourite pasta dish. This feature offers a variety of functions all in one oven.

What does a multifunction oven do?

Functions include:

rapid Rapid response (only available on a selection of models) - unique to Rangemaster, this feature heats the oven 30% quicker than a regular fanned function and allows cooking to start immediately.

fan oven Fan oven - a fan oven draws air from the interior of the oven, heats it up and forces it back into the cavity again. The heat within a fan oven is evenly distributed for multi-level cooking.

fanned Fanned grilling - enables the door to be closed whilst grilling, which grills food more evenly, while preventing cooking smells from permeating the room.

base heat Base heat - using the lower element only, this cooking method is best used for finishing off your dishes, such as crisping up the base of a pizza or ensuring the base of a pastry flan is fully cooked.

fan assisted Fan assisted oven - utilising the conventional oven elements alongside the fan, this produces zoned cooking with the hottest zone being featured at the top of the oven.

conventional oven Conventional oven - this traditional cooking method uses heat sourced from both the top and base of the oven, which results in a natural convection process that centres the heat in the top of the oven. For baking cakes etc, cook in the centre of the oven and slightly reduce the temperature.

browningBrowning element - to use at the end of cooking for the finishing and browning of cheese topped dishes that are already hot.

defrostDefrost - an incredibly safe way to speed up the defrosting process, as it uses the fan to circulate unheated air, so won't accidentally cook the food like a microwave can. Remember not to defrost meat or poultry in this way.

Q7. How do I register my warranty and how long is it for?

Our cookers come with a standard 1 year warranty. But if you register within 30 days of delivery, you will receive a further 12 month warranty absolutely free.

To register your warranty, (Click Here) Once your details have been processed, you will be sent your policy document outlining your cover.

Alternatively, fill in and return the registration form which will be enclosed with your new cooker, or call us on 01926 457628 where our trained operators will take your details.

 

 

Q8. Why are my hotplate burners not lighting up on my dual fuel/all gas cooker?

Make sure that the burner parts have been replaced correctly after wiping or removing for cleaning.

Check that there is not a problem with your gas supply. You can do this by making sure that other gas appliances you may have are working.

Do the burners spark when you push the button? If not, verify that the power is on by checking that the clock is illuminated.

If you are still experience problems call us on

01926 457628 or email consumers@agarangemaster.co.uk.

Q9. What products do you recommend for cleaning your cookers?

For inside the oven cavity you must make sure that the cleaning product is safe to use on vitreous enamel. There will be a logo on the back of the bottle that looks something like this:

You must never use products that can cause the enamel to peel or tarnish handles and control knobs. Please remember to read and follow the instructions very carefully on all cleaning products. We recommend that any strong or caustic cleaner be first tested on an inconspicuous part of the cooker.

For coloured panels we do not recommend anything other than hot soapy water and a soft cloth.

We stock our own specially formulated cleaners and you can purchase these at www.rangemastercookshop.co.uk. Refer to your User Guide for more tips.

cleaning

Q10. What clearances are required between a cooker top and a cooker hood?

For hoods that sit above Dual Fuel or all gas cookers the minimum clearance is approximately 650mm. This is increased to 670mm if a splashback is being fitted.

For hoods that sit above all electric cookers, the hood clearance can be no less than 650mm.

The maximum height we recommend for our range hoods is 750mm, as anything above this will begin to affect the performance.

Please refer to the User and Installation Guide.

 

Q11. Can you explain how induction works?

The electricity supply generates a magnetic field. By placing a pan onto the induction zone you complete the circuit, the pan becomes hot and in turn heats the contents of the pan.

Induction pans need to be ferrous based; a magnet should stick to the base. Stainless steel, or cast iron is ideal. Induction cooking is 90% efficient, fast, powerful, controllable and safe. Easy to clean; the glass hob stays cool preventing spillages from burning on. 

Important information for pacemaker and implanted insulin pump users: The functions of this hob comply with the applicable European standards on electro magnetic interference. If you are fitted with a pacemaker or implanted insulin pump, you must make sure your implants are not affected by the induction hob. Please consult your doctor for medical advice. The frequency range of the induction hob is 20-60kHz.

To learn more about induction, click here to see a video.

Q12. How can I find out how old my cooker is?

Call consumer services on 01926 457628 and have your serial number to hand (to locate your serial number, refer to 'where can I find my model or serial no?' on the FAQs above). We will log the serial number on our database and give you the build date of your cooker.

Q13. Why is steam coming out of the oven?

When cooking food with high water content (e.g. oven fries) there may be some steam visible at the rear grille, this is perfectly normal.

Take care when opening the oven door, as there may be a momentary puff of steam when the oven door is opened. Stand well back and allow any steam to disperse.

Q14. What gas connection will I need to install my cooker?

Connect the hood to the mains through a two-pole switch with a contact gap of at least 3mm. The hood comes with a cable and it can be fitted with a standard plug plus a 3 amp fuse, or it can be hard wired on to a 3 amp spur.

Q15. Can I purchase an LPG cooker?

Certain models are available to order as an LPG cooker.

Please check the brochure or the website (www.rangemaster.co.uk) for availability.

Please note that the cookers need to be ordered as all LPG. Dual fuel models can be converted.

Q16. Where can I find, view or buy a cooker?

We have a customer display database that enables you to locate Rangemaster stockists and showrooms that are close to your home. It lists all products that are available at the stores displayed.
