The Rangemaster Kitchener KCH110DFFSS/C excels in environments where diverse cooking needs are common, such as busy family homes or for those who frequently entertain. Imagine preparing a full three-course meal: you can have a large joint roasting to perfection in one fan oven, a delicate dessert baking evenly in the second, while simultaneously simmering sauces, sautéing vegetables, and boiling pasta across the six gas burners. The gas hob offers immediate and accurate temperature adjustments, crucial for delicate tasks like making a béchamel sauce or flash-frying. Meanwhile, the electric fan ovens maintain a consistent temperature, ideal for consistent baking results or achieving crispy roasts.
The dedicated grill provides quick and efficient grilling, perfect for browning dishes or making toast without impacting the oven's temperature. The catalytic liners are a significant time-saver, reducing the need for harsh scrubbing after use. This cooker is built to handle intensive daily use, providing reliable performance for a wide range of culinary demands.
Setup
Professional Installation: Due to its dual fuel nature, this cooker requires installation by a qualified Gas Safe registered engineer (for gas connection) and a certified electrician (for electrical connection). Attempting self-installation can be dangerous and may void your warranty.
Location: Ensure the chosen location in your kitchen has adequate space (dimensions: 930mm H x 1092mm W x 650mm D, excluding handles and knobs) and is properly ventilated.
Connections: Verify that your kitchen has both a suitable gas supply line and a dedicated electrical circuit with the correct amperage to support the cooker's power requirements.
Compatibility
Compatible with mains gas supply. Check if an LPG conversion kit is needed for bottled gas (Info needed: Is LPG conversion kit included or available?).
Requires a dedicated electrical supply suitable for a high-power appliance.
Ensure your kitchen cabinetry and worktops can accommodate the cooker's size and weight.
Care
Hob Cleaning: For the gas hob, allow burners to cool completely. Remove pan supports and burner caps, and clean with warm soapy water. Wipe down the hob surface with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Oven Cleaning (Catalytic Liners): The catalytic liners will absorb grease during high-temperature cooking. For deeper cleaning, run the oven at its highest temperature setting for 30-60 minutes periodically. Any remaining residue can be wiped away with a damp cloth once cooled.
Exterior Cleaning: Wipe exterior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth and a non-abrasive cleaner. For stainless steel finishes, use a specialized stainless steel cleaner to maintain its luster.
Spill Management: Clean up spills on the hob or oven interiors as soon as they cool to prevent them from baking on and becoming harder to remove.
