FAQs

What is dual fuel, and what are its benefits?

Dual fuel means the hob runs on gas for instant heat and precise flame control, while the ovens are electric. Electric ovens provide more consistent and even heat distribution, which is ideal for baking and roasting, offering the best of both worlds.

How do the catalytic liners work, and do I still need to clean the oven?

Catalytic liners are special oven panels (in the main oven) that absorb grease splashes during cooking. At high temperatures, these residues are oxidized, turning into a fine ash that can be easily wiped away once the oven cools. While they reduce cleaning effort, you will still need to manually clean the oven base, roof, and door, as well as the upper oven.

Can I convert this cooker to run on LPG (bottled gas)?

Yes, it is typically possible to convert this dual fuel cooker to run on LPG. However, this conversion must be carried out by a qualified Gas Safe registered engineer (or equivalent) using an approved LPG conversion kit. Do not attempt this yourself.

What is the function of the wok cradle and griddle?

The wok cradle provides a stable base for round-bottomed woks, allowing for efficient stir-frying. The cast aluminium griddle sits over a burner, offering a flat, even cooking surface perfect for grilling bacon, sausages, pancakes, or vegetables.

Is professional installation required?

Yes, professional installation by a qualified Gas Safe registered engineer and a qualified electrician is mandatory due to the cooker's dual fuel nature, ensuring safety and compliance with regulations.

What are the dimensions of this cooker?

The dimensions of the Rangemaster Professional Plus 60cm Dual Fuel Cooker are approximately H 92.5 x W 60 x D 61 cm, excluding handles and knobs.

What is the warranty period for this appliance?

Info needed: Please refer to your purchase documentation or the manufacturer's official website for specific warranty terms and duration for your region.

Troubleshooting

Oven not heating or not reaching desired temperature.

Check if the cooker is properly plugged in and the circuit breaker hasn't tripped. Ensure the oven function and temperature are correctly set. For gas hobs, ensure the gas supply is on and the flame is consistent. If issues persist, there might be a fault with the element or thermostat; contact customer support.

Gas burner not igniting.

Ensure the gas supply is open. Check if the burner cap and pan support are correctly positioned. Clean any food debris around the igniter pin. If using single-handed ignition, ensure you are pressing and turning the knob simultaneously until the flame lights. If the igniter clicks but no flame, check for blockages or insufficient gas flow.

Programmable timer not working or displaying incorrect time.

The cooker's timer may need to be reset after a power outage. Consult the user manual for specific instructions on how to set the clock and program cooking times. Ensure the current time is set correctly for timer functions to operate.

Food cooking unevenly in the oven.

Ensure the oven racks are positioned correctly for the chosen cooking mode and type of food. Avoid overcrowding the oven, which can restrict air circulation. For fanned modes, ensure the fan is running. If using conventional heat, try rotating dishes halfway through cooking. Calibrate oven temperature with an external thermometer if suspected inaccuracy.

  • Multiple oven functions including slow cook and rapid grill
  • Spacious main oven capacity
  • Easy-to-clean catalytic liners and dishwasher-safe hob parts
  • Professional aesthetic enhances kitchen design
  • Precise temperature control in electric ovens

Cons

  • Requires both gas and electricity connections for installation

Setup

  1. Professional Installation: Due to its dual fuel nature, this cooker requires connection to both a mains gas supply and a dedicated electrical circuit. Always arrange for a qualified Gas Safe registered engineer (or equivalent certified professional in your region) and a qualified electrician to install the appliance. Improper installation can be dangerous and invalidate your warranty.
  2. Unpacking: Carefully remove all packaging materials. Check for any transit damage. Retain packaging for potential return or future relocation.
  3. Positioning: Ensure the cooker is placed on a stable, level surface. The dimensions are H 92.5 x W 60 x D 61 cm (excluding handles and knobs); ensure adequate clearance from adjacent cabinetry and walls as per installation instructions.
  4. First Use: Before initial use, wipe down all surfaces with a damp cloth. Run each oven empty at a medium temperature for about 30-60 minutes to burn off any manufacturing residues. This may produce a slight odor, which is normal. Ensure adequate ventilation during this process.

Compatibility

  • Fuel: Requires natural gas supply (or LPG conversion kit, if applicable, installed by a qualified engineer) and a standard household electricity supply.
  • Size: Designed as a 60cm wide freestanding cooker, fitting into standard kitchen unit spaces.

Care & Maintenance

  • Daily Cleaning: Wipe down the hob and exterior surfaces after each use with a soft cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Hob Components: The cast iron pan supports and burner caps are dishwasher-safe for easy cleaning. Ensure they are completely dry before placing them back on the hob.
  • Oven Cleaning: The main oven features catalytic side liners which absorb grease splashes during cooking. For stubborn stains, these liners can be wiped with a damp cloth after the oven has cooled. The oven base and roof should be cleaned manually with appropriate oven cleaners (avoiding contact with catalytic liners). The upper oven requires manual cleaning.
  • Glass Doors: Clean the inner and outer glass panels with a glass cleaner, avoiding abrasive sponges.
  • Timer Control: Keep the touch control panel clean and dry for optimal responsiveness.
  • Regular Checks: Periodically inspect gas connections and electrical cords for any signs of wear or damage. If in doubt, contact a qualified service technician.
