Isolate the electricity supply before carrying out any major
cleaning. Allow the cooker to cool.
Never use paint solvents, washing soda, caustic cleaners,
biological powders, bleach, chlorine based bleach
cleaners, coarse abrasives or salt. Do not mix different
cleaning products – they may react together with
hazardous results.
All parts of the cooker can be cleaned with hot soapy water
– but take care that no surplus water seeps into the
appliance.
We have developed a range of cleaning products that give
maximum performance without damaging the enamel and
painted surfaces, in particular a Ceramic Hob Cleaner set
with scraper. More information is available through either the
Cookware Collection brochure supplied with your cooker or our
website www.rangemastercookshop.co.uk.
Remember to switch the electricity supply back on and reset
the clock before reusing the cooker.

Daily Care

Cleaning the range is not a welcomed chore, but it has to be
done to maintain efficiency and appearance. Remember it
is better to wipe up any spills as they occur, this will prevent
them burning on and becoming more difficult to remove
later.
Make sure the flow of combustion and ventilation air

to the range is unobstructed – for example by build-
up of fats or grease.
On Natural Gas the burners flames should be a bluish color
with, at most, a slight yellowish fringe.
On LP gas the flames may be "softer". The cooktop burner
flames may have a slight yellowish tip.
If the flame burns with a long white tip you should call for
service.
Cleaning for Spills
For spills and boil-overs that occur while cooking, as soon as
possible turn off the burner and allow to cool. Do not clean
until the area is completely cooled down. Wipe up spills as
soon as possible.
Do not allow surplus water to seep into the range.
Cooktop Burners
The burner heads and caps can be removed for cleaning.
Make sure they are absolutely dry before replacing (Fig.6-1).
When replacing a burner head, make sure that it locates
properly within the base (Fig.6-2). If you look at the bottom
of the burner head you will see two 'pips' – these fit into the
two notches in the burner base (Fig.6-3).
Check the burner ports are not blocked. If a blockage occurs,
remove stubborn particles using a piece of fuse wire.
