Rangemaster Classic 90 Gas, Installation & User Manual

1

This User Guide covers a number of different models. 

Although some of the illustrations will look different to 

your particular model the functions will be the same. We 

hope the meaning is clear.

Thank you for buying this cooker. It should give you many 

years of 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 cooker 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 

and may overheat the control knobs.

Installation and Maintenance

In the UK, the cooker must be installed by a Gas Safe 

registered 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 companies’ requirements.
Make sure that the gas supply is turned on and that the 

cooker is wired in and switched on (the cooker needs 

electricity).
Set the clock to make sure that all the ovens are functional – 

see the relevant section in this manual.
The cooker should be serviced only by a qualified service 

engineer, and only approved spare parts should be used.
Always allow the cooker 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

When you first use your cooker it may give off an odour. This 

should stop after use.
Before using your cooker for the first time, make sure that all 

packing materials have been removed and then, to dispel 

manufacturing odours, turn the ovens to gas mark 6 (200 °C) 

and run for at least an hour. 
Before using the grill for the first time you should also turn on 

the grill and run for 30 minutes with the grill pan in position, 

pushed fully back, and the grill door open.
Make sure the room is well ventilated to the outside air 

(see ‘

Ventilation

’ below). People with respiratory or allergy 

problems should vacate the area for this brief period.

CAUTION: The use of a gas cooking appliance results 

in the production of heat and moisture in the room 

in which it is installed. Therefore, make sure 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 cooker for a long time, open a window or turn on
