4. Operating the Rayburn Ranger
®
Your new Rayburn cooker is a fully electric heat storage
appliance. The appliance requires only a low power supply via
two 13 amp connections.
The Rayburn Ranger® operates like a traditional heat storage
appliance which can also provide gentle background heat
into your kitchen.
A traditional heat storage appliance would typically be left
at cooking temperature 24 hours a day. However Rayburn
Ranger® is far more versatile providing additional control
and flexibility. It allows the grill, ovens and hotplate to be
controlled both individually and in dual functions. If desired
hotplate and ovens can be turned off or the ovens can be
turned down to the ‘e’ setting to further reduce energy usage.
When switching on the Rayburn for the first few times, there
are two things you may notice, neither of which should cause
concern.
The Rayburn will emit an odour for a short while, this is simply
due to the protective oil we put on the hotplate burning off.
Due to the newness in the first couple of hours, it is advisable
to open the kitchen window while this takes place.
Condensation may occur on the top and front plate whilst
the appliance is heating up, caused by the insulation lagging
and starch binder on the element insulation drying out. The
condensation should be wiped away as soon as possible to
prevent staining the enamel.
Traditional heat storage appliances have a single heat source
each cooking zone, whereas the Rayburn has individual
elements for each cooking zone. The separation of cooking
zones allow for a choice of controls.
