NOTE:
The Top Oven of this cooker is one of the largest of any range cooker
currently on the market.
The temperature of the oven will depend on the setting of the oven heat control.
For rapid heating, turn the Thermostat up to 5 until the oven reaches the
temperature you require then turn it back to hold the required temperature.
OVENS
The left hand side of the Top Oven is nearer the burner. When baking in the Top
Oven, turn the food 180° approximately half way through cooking to ensure even
browning.
PANS
For really good results it is essential to use good quality flat based pans. Pans
which bend or don’t sit flat will result in scorching and uneven cooking.
HOB LIDS
Ensure that the Hob Lids are closed when cooking has finished. If they are left up
the cooker temperature will drop quickly.
KETTLE
Make sure that the kettle is not left simmering for long periods of time. Not only
does this waste fuel but it also concentrates the minerals in the water which is not
good for you.
GRILLING
The upper part of the Top Oven is the hottest when the oven is on full. For grilling
use a shelf in the highest position.
TOAST
To make toast put the bread directly onto the hot plates or use the toasting ‘bat’
provided.
The Boiling Plate will toast the bread faster, this results in toast that is crisp on the
outside and softer in the middle. The Simmering Plate toasts the bread more
slowly so that the bread is crisp all the way through.
BACOGLIDE
When cooking directly on the hot plates, e.g. eggs, drop scones, pancakes etc.
use REDFYRE Bacoglide to prevent food sticking to the surface. Sample pieces are
supplied with the cooker.
Bacoglide is available as sheets or a roll and can be purchased from your dealer.
The Bottom Oven is approximately half the temperature of the top oven plus 10°,
making it ideal for simmering, slow cooking and warming.
To get the best economy from your range cooker it can be fitted with a timer.
This timer will allow you to control your cooker throughout the week ensuring
that it is always ready when you need it.
The timer will keep your cooker running on low and turn it on before breakfast,
lunch and tea time. The cooker will rise to the temperature set on the oven heat
thermostat.
Full details on how to use the timer is supplied with the timer kit, which is
available from your REDFYRE stockist.
Below is a guide to the control positions,
these temperatures are approximate
.
Remember that the oven is hotter at the top and cooler at the bottom, with use
you will become accustomed to the temperature variations.

Take care not to leave the cooker running with the oven doors open for
long periods as the cooker will lose heat and take time to recover to
cooking temperature.
