Safety Instructions

Please read these operating instructions carefully for full information on the safe installation, use and care of your new Rangemaster appliance.

•

This appliance must be correctly installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions by a suitably qualified person.

• We cannot accept responsibility for damage to persons or items due to poor or incorrect installation of this appliance.

• Make sure that the voltage and frequency of the mains supply correspond to the details on the rating plate which can be found on the lower part of the front of the oven.

Warning: this appliance must be earthed.

•

We cannot accept any liability for failures in the earth connection or for earth connection that is not in compliance with the regulations in force.

• Maintenance and servicing work must only be carried out after the power supply has been disconnected by switching off at the on/off isolator or removing the mains fuse.

• Due to our policy of continuous innovation, we reserve the right to adjust or modify our product without prior notification.

• Do not use the oven to heat kitchen, not only does this waste fuel but the control knobs may become overheated.

• Do not let children near the oven during use to avoid the danger of burns or injury. Supervise the use of the oven by the elderly or infirm.

• Never store flammable materials in a drawer or cupboard beneath a built-in oven as there is a risk of fire.

• Do not place heavy objects on the open door or sit on it as this could cause damage to the hinging.

• To avoid damage to the interior enamel, do not place the oven pan or baking trays on the bottom of the oven and do not line the base of the oven with aluminium cooking foil.

• During cooking, food naturally produces steam, which is vented away to prevent an excessive build-up within the oven. As this steam can condense to water droplets on the cool outer trim of the oven, it may be necessary during cooking to wipe away any moisture with a soft cloth. This will also help to prevent soiling and discoloration of the oven exterior by cooking vapours.

Before first use

Before using for your oven for the first time clean it thoroughly. Switch off the oven at the on/off isolator or remove the mains fuse before cleaning. Remove any packaging and the oven accessories from the ovens. Wipe the oven interior using hot water and a mild detergent. Rinse carefully using 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 and the oven pan onto the runners, close the doors and heat the ovens to maximum temperature for 30 minutes to eliminate any residues from the manufacturing process.

Light only

The oven interior light comes on.

Base heat plus fan

The fan operates with the element under the floor of the oven. The oven should be pre-heated before use until the temperature indicator light goes out.

This function is ideal for baking quiches and pastry tarts so that the base of the item cooks and crisps. In this case, the food should be cooked with the oven shelf on the lowest shelf position.

Conventional oven

(top and base heat)

This function combines the heat from the top and base elements. It is particularly suitable for roasting and baking pastry, cakes and biscuits.

The oven should be pre-heated before use until the temperature indicator light goes out. It is recommended that food is only placed on one shelf position when cooking with the conventional heating function. Do not use the lowest or highest shelf positions or the food may overcook.

Fan assisted oven

This function operates the fan, circulating air heated by the elements at the top and the base of the oven. The combination of fan and conventional cooking (top and base heat) makes this function ideal for cooking large items that need thorough cooking, such as a large meat roast. It is also possible to bake on two shelves at one time, although they will need to be swapped over during the cooking time, as the heat at the top of the oven is greater than at the base, when using this function.

This is a fast intensive form of cooking; keep an eye on the food cooking until you have become accustomed to this function.

Single Circuit Grill

The centre of the grill element in the roof of the oven operates. The oven should be pre-heated for 5-10 minutes before use. The oven pan should be used on one of the upper shelf positions. Fit the handle when sliding the oven pan in or out of the oven. Grilling must always

take place with the oven door closed in order to ensure correct performance of this function. Check your food regularly

to avoid over cooking.

Dual Circuit Grill

Same procedure as single circuit grill, but the whole grill element operates giving you a larger area for grilling.

Fanned grilling

Page 5

This function operates the fan whilst the top grill element is on. It produces a more even, less fierce heat than a conventional grill. For best results, place the food to be grilled, on a grid over a roasting tin, which should be smaller than a conventional grill pan. This allows greater air circulation. Thick pieces of meat or fish are ideal for grilling in this way, as the circulated air reduces the fierceness of the heat from the grill. The oven door should be kept closed whilst grilling is in progress, so

USERS GUIDE

saving energy. You will also find that the food needs to be watched and turned less than for normal grilling. Pre-heat this function before cooking.

Defrosting should not be carried out in a warm oven.

Ensure that dairy foods, meat and poultry are completely defrosted before cooking.

Fan oven

This function operates the fan and the heating element around it. An even heat is produced throughout the oven, allowing you to cook large amounts quickly.

Fan oven cooking is particularly suitable for baking on several shelves at one time and is a good ‘all-round’ function. It may be necessary to reduce the temperature by approximately 10°C for recipes previously cooked in a conventional oven.

If you wish to pre-heat the oven, wait until the indicator light has gone out before inserting the food.

Oven temperature

The oven temperature is set by turning the appropriate oven temperature selector knob clockwise to the required level. An oven temperature must be set for all functions except defrost and light.

Temperatures can be set from 50°C to

250°C. Once a temperature has been selected, the appropriate temperature indicator light will glow. When the oven has reached the required temperature, the light will go out. If pre-heating is recommended, food can now be placed in the oven. During cooking, the light will occasionally glow as the heating element(s) operate to maintain the oven temperature. The temperature selector should be reset to zero by turning anticlockwise after use.

Temperature Conversion Chart

Defrost

This function operates the fan to circulate cold air only. No heat is applied. This enables small items such as desserts, cream cakes and pieces of meat, fish and poultry to be defrosted.

Defrosting in this way speeds up the process and protects the food from flies.

Pieces of meat, fish and poultry should be placed on a rack, over a tray to catch any drips. Be sure to wash the rack and tray after defrosting.

Defrost with the oven door closed.

Large items, such as whole chickens and joints should not be defrosted in this way. We recommend this be carried out in a refrigerator.

Do not use caustic or abrasive cleaning agents, knives or other metal implements as these could damage the oven.

USERS GUIDE

Catalytic stay-clean liners

(optional extra)

Catalytic stay-clean liners for the sides and rear of the oven only are available as an optional extra for some models.

Please contact your Rangemaster dealer for details. With catalytic liners fitted, only the roof, floor and door of the oven require conventional cleaning (see page

11). Splashes from food onto the side and rear panels are broken down during normal use of the oven at temperatures above 200° C, so little manual cleaning should be necessary. Do not use any type of cleaning agent on the catalytic linings or permanent damage could occur. In cases of heavy soiling (e.g.: after roasting or grilling fatty meat) the oven can be cleaned using an additional special process. Clean the enamelled and glass parts of the oven interior and remove the shelf supports (see page 11).

Close the door and switch on the oven using the fan assisted oven setting at the maximum temperature for l- 1

Built-in installation

This appliance is designed for buildingin to a standard 600mm wide oven housing. The housing, adjacent furniture and all materials used in installation must be able to withstand a minimum temperature of 80°C plus ambient temperature during periods of operation.

In addition, adjacent furniture cabinet doors must be at least 8mm from the appliance at all points. Certain types of vinyl or laminate kitchen furniture cabinetry are particularly prone to heat damage and discolouration, any delamination or discolouration of materials which occurs below 80°C plus ambient temperature or where materials are less than 8mm from the appliance will be the liability of the owner. The housing into which the appliance is installed must incorporate a full depth shelf positioned 85 : 90mm below the support shelf for the appliance. For building-under a worktop, the installation dimensions are as follows:

Page 14

USERS GUIDE

Ventilation

The appliance housing used must provide adequate ventilation in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations as detailed in the installation diagrams above. For built-in installation, a minimum ventilation cutout of 400cm² must be incorporated into the support shelf beneath the oven together with a 500mm x 15mm cut-out along the upper edge of the housing unit’s plinth. A further ventilation space of 85 90mm must exist between the rear of the appliance and the back of the housing or an adjacent wall. If a tall housing is to be installed flush with the ceiling, a 20cm² ventilation cut -out must be provided at the top of the housing.

When placing the oven in the housing, do not use the oven door as a lever for lifting the oven as damage may result.

Once the oven has been positioned in the housing it should be secured in place at the four corners of the oven doorframe using suitable screws (see diagram).
