Rangemaster CLASSIC 110 GAS FSD - Manual (Page 5)

5
Hotplate burners
1
The drawing by each knob indicates which burner
that knob controls. This is the left hand front burner.
2
Each burner has a special safety device (FSD) that
stops the flow of gas if the flame goes out.
Press the igniter button, and push in and turn a knob
to the large flame symbol ( ). Keep holding the knob
pressed in for a few seconds. This lets gas through to
the burner so the safety device can detect the flame.
If, when you let go of the control knob, the burner
goes out, 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.
3
Adjust the flame height to suit by turning the knob.
On this cooker the low position is beyond high, not
between high and off. The small flame marks the ‘low
position’. Turn the knob towards it after the contents
of a pan have boiled.
4
Make sure flames are under the pans. Using a lid will
help the contents boil more quickly.
Pans and kettles with concave bases or down turned
base rims should not be used.
5
Simmering aids, such as asbestos or mesh mats,
are NOT recommended. They will reduce burner
performance and could damage the pan supports.
6
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. The minimum
pan diameter recommended is 120mm.
Pans and kettles with down turned base rims should
not be used.
7
The Wok burner is designed to provide even heat
over a large area. It is ideal for large pans and stir
frying. For heating smaller pans the smaller burners
may be more efficient.
If a burner flame goes out, turn the control knob off
and leave it for one minute before relighting it.
You can remove the burner parts for cleaning,
see the ‘Cleaning your cooker’ section of these
instructions.
You should wipe the enamel top surface of the
cooker around the hotplate burners as soon as
possible after spills occur. Try to wipe them off while
the enamel is still warm.
