Before You Start, Installation and Maintenance

1. Before You Start...

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 an induction hob before.

This appliance is designed for domestic cooking only. Using it for any other purpose could invalidate any warranty or liability claim.

Installation and Maintenance

In the UK, 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 electricity supply companies’ requirements.

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

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.

Ventilation

Using a 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 cooking zones on or use the hob for a long time, open a window or turn on an extractor fan.

Personal Safety

Important information for pacemaker and implanted insulin pump users: The functions of this hob comply with the applicable European standards on electromagnetic interference. If you are fitted with

a pacemaker or implanted insulin pump and are concerned please consult your doctor for medical advice.

When the hob is in use keep magnetic items, such as credit and debit cards, ﬂoppy disk, calculators, etc. away.

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.

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 hob.

Never leave the hob 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.

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