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.

 CAUTION: This appliance is for cooking purposes
only. It must not be used for other purposes, for
example room heating. Using it for any other
purpose could invalidate any warranty or liability
claim. Besides invalidating claims this wastes fuel.
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).
It is recommended that this appliance is serviced annually.
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 smoke
•
DO NOT use naked flames
• DO turn off the gas at the meter or cylinder

Ventilation
CAUTION: 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
n n
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.
n n
When the hob is not in use make sure that the
control knobs are in the OFF position.
n n
DO NOT use hotplate protectors, foil or hotplate
covers of any description. These may affect the safe
use of your hotplate burners and are potentially
hazardous to health.
n n
Always keep combustible materials, e.g. curtains,
and flammable liquids a safe distance away from
your hob.
n n
Do not spray aerosols in the vicinity of the hob while
it is on.
n n
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.
n n
Never operate the hob with wet hands.
n n
Never heat unopened food containers. Pressure
build up may make the containers burst and cause
injury.
n n
Do not use unstable saucepans. Always ensure that
you position the handles away from the edge of the
hotplate.
n n
Take care NOT to place metallic objects such as
knives, forks, spoons and lids on the hob surface
since they can get hot.
n n
The appliance is not intended to be operated by
means of external timer or separated remote-control
system.
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.
