FAQs
What kind of installation does this cooker require?
The Rangemaster Classic 60 requires professional installation by a qualified Gas Safe engineer for the gas connection and a qualified electrician for the electrical connection to a dedicated cooker circuit.
How do the catalytic liners help with cleaning?
Catalytic liners absorb grease and food residue during cooking. After the oven cools, you simply wipe the interior with a damp cloth to remove any ash or loose debris, significantly simplifying oven maintenance.
Are the pan supports dishwasher safe?
Yes, both the pan supports and burner caps are designed to be easily removed and can be safely cleaned in your dishwasher.
Can I use a wok on this hob?
Absolutely! This cooker features a dedicated wok burner specifically designed to provide the high heat and stable support needed for wok cooking.
What is the slow cooking option suitable for?
The slow cooking option in the ovens is perfect for preparing dishes that benefit from long, gentle heat, such as stews, casseroles, tender roasts, and other comfort foods.
Does this cooker have a timer function?
The product description does not explicitly mention a programmable timer function. For precise timing, an external timer would be recommended.
What is the purpose of the included griddle?
The lightweight griddle provides an additional cooking surface, allowing you to grill foods like steaks, vegetables, bacon, or sandwiches directly on the hob, adding versatility to your cooking.
Troubleshooting
Gas burner not igniting
Ensure the gas supply is turned on at the main valve. Check that the burner cap and crown are correctly seated. Press and hold the ignition knob firmly while turning, and ensure the spark igniter is clean and sparking. If the issue persists, contact a qualified engineer.
Oven not heating or heating unevenly
Verify the gas supply to the oven is active and the control knob is set correctly. Ensure the oven door is fully closed. Allow sufficient preheating time. If food is cooking unevenly, try adjusting shelf positions or rotating dishes during cooking. For persistent issues, professional inspection may be needed.
Griddle or pan supports appear stained or dirty after washing
While dishwasher safe, some stubborn stains might require pre-soaking or scrubbing by hand with a non-abrasive cleaner before placing them in the dishwasher. Ensure they are thoroughly dry before re-installing.
Catalytic liners not cleaning properly
Catalytic liners work best at higher temperatures. Run the oven at a high temperature (e.g., 200°C) for 30-60 minutes after cooking to activate the self-cleaning properties. Allow to cool completely, then wipe away any ash or residue with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh cleaning chemicals on these surfaces.
Electrical supply tripping when cooker is on
This indicates an issue with the electrical connection or the appliance itself. Immediately turn off the cooker at the dedicated switch and contact a qualified electrician or service engineer. Do not attempt to reset the breaker repeatedly without investigation.
