Thank you for buying a Rangemaster hob. It should give you
many years trouble-free cooking if installed and operated
correctly. It is important that you read this section before you
start, particularly if you have not used a gas hob before.

This appliance is designed for domestic cooking
only. Using it for any other purpose could invalidate
any warranty or liability claim. In particular, the
oven should NOT be used for heating the kitchen
– besides invalidating claims, this wastes fuel and
may overheat the control knobs.
Installation and Maintenance
In the UK, the hob must be installed by a CORGI registered
gas engineer. The electrical installation should be in
accordance with BS 7671. Otherwise, all installations
must be in accordance with the relevant instructions
in this booklet, with the relevant national and local
regulations, and with the local gas and electricity supply
company requirements.
Make sure that the gas supply is turned on and that the hob is
wired in and switched on (the hob needs an electricity supply
for ignition).
Only a qualified service engineer should service the hob and
only approved spare parts should be used.
Always allow the hob to cool and then switch it off at the
mains before cleaning or carrying out any maintenance work,
unless specified otherwise in this guide.
Peculiar Smells
Make sure the room is well ventilated to the outside air (see
‘Ventilation’ below). People with respiratory problems should
vacate the area for this brief period.
If You Smell Gas…
•
DO NOT turn electric switches on or off.
•
DO NOT smoke
•
DO NOT use naked flames
•
DO turn off the gas at the meter or cylinder
•
DO open doors and windows to get rid of the gas
•
DO keep people away from the area affected
•
Call your gas supplier.
If you are using natural gas in the UK ring the National Grid
on: 0800 111 999.
Ventilation
Using a gas cooking appliance will result in the production of
heat and moisture in the room in which it is installed. Make
that the kitchen is well ventilated; keep natural ventilation
holes open or install a powered cooker hood that vents
outside. If you have several burners on or use the hob for a
long time, open a window or turn on an extractor fan.
Personal Safety

Accessible parts will become hot during use and will
retain heat even after you have stopped cooking.
Keep babies and children away from the hob and
never wear loose-fitting or hanging clothes while
the appliance is in use.

When the hob is not in use make sure that the
control knobs are in the OFF position.

Always keep combustible materials, e.g. curtains,
and flammable liquids a safe distance away from
your hob.

Do not spray aerosols in the vicinity of the hob while
it is on.

Use dry oven gloves when applicable – using damp
gloves might result in steam burns when you touch
a hot surface. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth
in place of a glove – it might catch fire if brought into
contact with a hot surface.

Never operate the hob with wet hands.

Never heat unopened food containers. Pressure
build up may make the containers burst and cause
injury.

Do not use unstable saucepans. Always ensure that
you position the handles away from the edge of the
hotplate.
Never leave the hotplate unattended at high heat settings.
Pans boiling over can cause smoking, and greasy spills may
catch on fire. Use a deep fat thermometer whenever possible
to prevent fat overheating beyond the smoking point.

Never leave a chip pan unattended. Always heat fat
slowly, and watch as it heats. Deep fry pans should
be only one third full of fat. Filling the pan too full
of fat can cause spill over when food is added. If you
use a combination of oils or fats in frying, stir them
together before heating, or as the fats melt.
Foods for frying should be as dry as possible. Frost on frozen
foods or moisture on fresh foods can cause hot fat to bubble
up and over the sides of the pan. Carefully watch for spills or
overheating of foods when frying at high or medium high
temperatures. Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially a
deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat is cool.

Do not use water on grease fires and never pick up a
flaming pan. Turn off the controls and then smother
a flaming pan on a surface unit by covering the pan
completely with a well fitting lid or baking tray. If
available, use a multipurpose dry chemical or foam-
type fire extinguisher.
Take care that no water seeps into the appliance.
Only certain types of glass, glass-ceramic, earthenware or
other glazed containers are suitable for hotplate cooking;
others may break because of the sudden change in
temperature.
