Before You Start, Installation and Maintenance

1. Before You Start...

DocNo.014-0001 - Introduction - BI oven

Thank you for buying a Rangemaster oven. 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 an electric oven 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

The electrical installation should be in accordance with BS 7671, or with the relevant national and local regulations. Have the installer show you the location of the oven control switch and mark it for easy reference. Only a qualiﬁed service engineer should service the oven, and only approved spare parts should be used.

Make sure that the oven is wired in and switched on.

Always allow the oven to cool and then switch it oﬀ at the mains before cleaning or carrying out any maintenance work, unless otherwise speciﬁed in this guide.

Before First Use

Before using the oven for the ﬁrst time clean it thoroughly. Switch oﬀ the unit at the isolator or mains supply. Remove all packing materials and accessories. Using hot water and a mild detergent, wipe the oven interior and then rinse carefully with a damp cloth. Wash the oven shelves and accessories in a dishwasher or using hot water and a mild detergent and dry thoroughly.

Slide the oven shelves into the oven and close the door. To dispel any manufacturing smells, turn the oven to 200°C and run for 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.

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 oven.

When the oven is not in use, ensure that the control knobs are in the OFF position.

To minimise the possibility of burns, always be certain that the controls are in the OFF position and that the entire oven is cool before attempting to clean.

Use dry oven gloves when applicable – using damp gloves might result in steam burns when you touch a hot surface. Never operate the oven with wet hands. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of a glove – it might catch ﬁre if it touches a hot surface.

Always keep combustible wall coverings or curtains, etc., a safe distance away from your oven, and never wear loose-ﬁtting or hanging clothes while using the appliance.

Do not store or use aerosols, or any other potentially combustible or ﬂammable materials, in the vicinity of the oven.

Care should be taken to avoid touching the heating elements inside the main oven.

Whole chickens and large joints of meat should be defrosted thoroughly in the refrigerator. Do not defrost in a warm oven or while the adjoining oven is in operation or still warm.

Cooking high moisture content foods can create a ‘steam burst’ when the oven door is opened. When opening the oven stand well back and allow any steam to disperse.

When the oven is on, DO NOT leave the oven door open for longer than necessary.

Never heat unopened food containers. Pressure build-up may cause the containers to burst and cause injury.

Do not use aluminium foil to cover shelves, linings or the oven roof.

This appliance is heavy, so take care when moving it.

Cleaning

In the interests of hygiene and safety, the oven should be kept clean at all times as a build up in fats and other foodstuﬀs could result in a ﬁre.

Clean only the parts listed in this guide.

Clean with caution. If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot surface, be careful to avoid steam burns. Some cleansers can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.
