The Smeg Range Cooker excels in real-world kitchen applications, offering flexibility and efficiency. Imagine roasting a large turkey in one oven using the true-convection fan oven for quick, even cooking, while simultaneously baking a delicate soufflé in the other oven with the Circulaire function. This prevents any flavor transfer, ensuring both dishes come out perfectly. The 5 powerful gas burners on the hob provide immediate and precise heat adjustment, ideal for a quick stir-fry, simmering a sauce, or rapidly boiling water. The heavy-duty cast iron pan supports ensure your cookware remains stable, whether you're using large pots or small saucepans. After a busy cooking session, the Vapour Cleaning function and catalytic self-cleaning panels significantly reduce cleanup time. Simply activate the steam function to loosen baked-on grime, and wipe away with ease. The removable internal door glass also makes it simple to achieve a spotless oven door. The tangential cooling system is a thoughtful addition, protecting your kitchen cabinets from excessive heat build-up.
Setup:
Placement: Ensure you have a clear 90cm wide space, with adequate ventilation as per local building codes.
Connections: This is a dual fuel appliance, requiring both a mains gas supply and a dedicated electrical outlet (check voltage and amperage requirements in the user manual). It is strongly recommended that installation be performed by a qualified gas safe engineer and a certified electrician to ensure safety and proper functionality.
Leveling: Use the adjustable feet to ensure the cooker is perfectly level, which is crucial for even cooking and appliance stability.
Compatibility:
Requires a standard gas supply connection.
Requires a suitable electrical connection (typically a dedicated circuit for ovens).
Fits into a standard 90cm wide cooker space.
Care:
Daily Cleaning (Hob): After use, allow the hob to cool. Wipe down the 18/10 Stainless Steel surface with a damp cloth and mild detergent. The cast iron pan supports can be removed and washed in warm soapy water, then dried thoroughly.
Oven Interior (Regular): Utilize the Vapour Cleaning function regularly. Fill the designated reservoir with water, activate the function, and once complete, wipe the softened residue with a damp cloth.
Oven Interior (Deep Clean): For areas not covered by catalytic panels, or for more stubborn stains, the easy-clean enamelled interiors can be cleaned with oven-safe cleaners (always test on an inconspicuous area first). The catalytic self-cleaning panels work automatically at 200°C; avoid using harsh abrasives or chemicals on them.
Oven Door Glass: The removable internal door glass can be taken out for easy cleaning of both sides. Refer to your manual for specific removal instructions.
Exterior: Clean the 18/10 Stainless Steel exterior with a soft cloth and a non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner to maintain its shine.
