DocNo.011-0001 - Introduction gas
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 a gas hob before.
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 hob and
never wear loose-fitting or hanging clothes while
the appliance is in use.
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.
When the hob is not in use make sure that the
control knobs are in the OFF position.
Always keep combustible materials, e.g. curtains,
and flammable liquids a safe distance away from
your hob.
Installation and Maintenance
Do not spray aerosols in the vicinity of the hob while
it is on.
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.
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.
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).
Never operate the hob with wet hands.
Never heat unopened food containers. Pressure
build up may make the containers burst and cause
injury.
Only a qualified service engineer should service the hob and
only approved spare parts should be used.
Do not use unstable saucepans. Always ensure that
you position the handles away from the edge of the
hotplate.
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.
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.
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.
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.
If You Smell Gas…

DO NOT turn electric switches on or off.
DO NOT smoke
DO NOT use naked flames
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 turn off the gas at the meter or cylinder
DO open doors and windows to get rid of the gas
DO keep people away from the area affected
Call your gas supplier.
If you are using natural gas in the UK ring the National Grid
on: 0800 111 999.
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.
Ventilation
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.
Take care that no water seeps into the appliance.
Only certain types of glass, glass-ceramic, earthenware or
other glazed containers are suitable for hotplate cooking;
others may break because of the sudden change in
temperature.

Cleaning
In the interests of hygiene and safety, the hob should be kept
clean at all times as a build up of 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.

2. Hob Overview
ArtNo.316-0018 RGG60 iso view
The diagram by each of the control knobs indicates which
burner that knob operates (Fig.2-1). Each burner has a
special Flame Safety Device (FSD) that stops the flow of gas if
the flame goes out.
Fig.2-2
To light a burner, push in and turn the associated control
knob anti-clockwise (Fig.2-2) to the ‘high’position indicated
ArtNhigh
by the large flame symbol [ ]. Keep the knob pressed down
for 3-5 seconds to let the gas through to the burner. The
igniter should spark and light the gas.
If, when you let go of the control knob the burner goes out,
then the safety device has not held in. Turn the control to the
off position and wait one minute then try again, this time
holding in the control knob for slightly longer.
Fig.2-3
Adjust the flame to suit by turning the control knob clockwise
(Fig.2-3).
Ensure that the flames are under the pans. Using a lid will
help the contents boil more quickly (Fig.2-4).
ArtNo.316-0
Large pans should be spaced well apart.

Pans and kettles with concave bases or down turned base
rims should not be used (Fig.2-5).
Fig.2-5
Fig.2-6
Fig.2-7
Simmering aids, such as asbestos or mesh mats, are NOT
recommended. They will reduce burner performance and
could damage the pan supports (Fig.2-6).
You should also avoid using unstable and misshapen pans
that may tilt easily, and pans with a very small base diameter,
e.g. milk pans, single egg poachers (Fig.2-7).
The minimum recommended pan diameter is 120mm. The
maximum allowable pan base diameter is 250mm.
Hob Care
The burner parts can be removed for cleaning; see ‘Cleaning
your hob’.
You should wipe the top surface of the hob around the
hotplate burners as soon as possible after spills occur. Try to
wipe any spills off while the hob is still warm.
Note: The use of aluminium pans may cause metallic marking
of the pan supports. This does not affect the durability of the
enamel and may be cleaned off with an appropriate metal
cleaner.
