Rangemaster 90

Posted on March 8, 2010 by herzzanu

I am writing this article especially for those who don’t have enough space in their kitchen for a large range cooker and they really need something to fit in. So I thought that would be very appropriate to pass in review some of the main features of Rangemaster 90.
However this week I will try to review some of the most searched versions of Rangemaster 90 with all their particularities.
So back to the point I should begin by telling you that our range cooker here is an average size cooker which is greatly admired from all points of view by all its owners but also by those who don’t have one. For the most of us is very hard to justify spending so much money for a cooker but I am sure that you won’t regret it because we better buy an expensive quality range cooker than buying one that won’t satisfy us. Anyway we buy a cooker twice or thrice in a lifetime so we have to make the best choices.
Available in electric ceramic, gas and dual fuel this is the best seller range cooker, 90 cm wide from Rangemaster. The gas and dual fuel versions are provided with five burners and the electric ceramic version has five heat zones but it has no griddle. Like the 110 cm wide range cooker, Rangemaster 90 has two ovens, but a little bit different from his larger brother. There is a tall electric fan assisted oven and a separate grill compartment.
For those who need to know the sizes it has a height of 92.5 cm, a depth of 60 cm and we already know that it is 90 cm wide. If you want to make all your neighbours and your friends envious you should make an effort and buy a Rangemaster whether it is 90 cm or 110 cm wide.
I almost forgot to tell you about the safety feature which is the glass fold down lid which cuts the gas off when lowered or if there is no flame. This is not available on the electric version because obviously it doesn’t need one. I would say that for me this is the most important thing because if we have some kids around anything could happen.
So, now that we know that we can be safe I’d like to add that this range cooker has it all and it would be practically impossible to find enough pans and to use all 5 burners at the same time. However it is ideal when having guests, giving you the ability to cook two large and different meals at the same time.

Gas Range Cooker

Posted on February 24, 2010 by herzzanu

If you want to achieve a gas range cooker or if you already got one is important to know what you are dealing with. I recommend you to take a closer look over the next lines.
In order to prevent incidents when using a gas range cooker I wrote down a number of health and safety considerations which you should read very carefully:
Under the Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974 it is the duty of the employer to ensure so far as is reasonably practicable a safe place of work. Under the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 it is the duty of management to carry out risk assessments within the workplace.
The Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 places duties on gas consumers, installers, suppliers and landlords. Only qualified engineers registered with CORGI (Council of Registered Gas Installers) are permitted to undertake work on gas appliances. The individual carrying out the work will have a photo ID signifying their competence.
Most of the police buildings, stations and houses around the force have gas cookers, fires and boilers installed in them for the purpose of heating, provision of hot water or for cooking.
The type of gas used is natural gas, which is supplied to the buildings by pipeline from a mains supply. Natural gas is predominantly methane and has a chemical added to make the otherwise odourless gas have a distinctive smell.
In itself, natural gas does not present a hazard to health; however it forms an explosive mixture in the air at concentrations of 5-15%. Provided gas equipment is maintained correctly, the chance of this occurring is minimal.
In addition, there is also a risk that in high concentration, natural gas can displace air and result in chemical asphyxiation. Poor maintenance of gas appliances can result in carbon monoxide poisoning due to incomplete combustion of the gas. Provided the range cookers are installed correctly, well maintained and used as per the manufacturer’s instructions this should not occur.
Here are some emergency procedures that you should consider when using your range cooker supplied with gas:
If a gas leak is suspected from a gas appliance:
• Evacuate the area and move any casualties to the fresh air
• Summon assistance and seek urgent medical advice for casualties
• Do not smoke or use naked flame
• Do not operate any electrical appliances, switches etc (including door bells) – even to switch things off.
• Turn off the mains supply at meter or isolation valve
• Ventilate the premises by opening doors and windows
• Do not turn the gas supply back on until checked by a CORGI registered installer.
If you strictly respect all these rules I can assure you that you will be far away from danger and will keep your gas range cooker undamaged.

Using Safely Your Rangemaster 110

Posted on February 24, 2010 by herzzanu

For your safety when using Rangemaster 110 we bring some instructions to prevent accidents which I advice you to read before the installation and the usage of the range cooker. It will just take you a couple of minutes to read something that could prevent you of injury or death. And I can assure you that most of the people aren’t doing this.
Here are the instructions:
• Keep appliance area clean and clear from combustibles.
• The place where the range cooker is to be installed must be enough aerated, this is in order to supply the necessary air for combustion, to prevent reaching too high percentages of gas to aid evacuation of the products of combustion.
This range cooker is equipped for natural gas, with orifices sized for operation with natural gas.
WARNING: improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or maintenance can cause properly damage, injury or death. Read the installation, operating and maintenance instructions thoroughly before installing or servicing this equipment.
FOR YOUR SAFETY: Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapours or liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS
• Do not try to light the range cooker.
• Do not touch any electric switch.
• Do not use any phone in the building.
• Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbour’s phone. Follow the gas supplier’s instructions.
• If you cannot reach your gas supplier call the fire department.
For installing safely the Rangemaster 110 I recommend you to do read following:
Installation must be carried out by following the instructions contained in the installation guide or users’ manual and only by a licensed tradesman. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for any damage caused by faulty installation.
The place where the machine is to be installed must be aerated; this is in order to supply the necessary air for combustion, to prevent reaching too high percentages of gas and to aid evacuation of the products of combustion. The installation room must be in conformity with the current fire regulations.
Before connecting up the gas consult the gas board, all the installation and maintenance operations should be carried out by the gas board or by authorized fitters.
For the purposes of operating safety it is essential to make the following checks:
• Checking air-tightness: Check there are no leaks in gas pipe using a solution of soap-water.
• Checking operation: Check the burner, the regularity and extinguishing of the flame, following the instructions in this handbook.
• Checking the flue gas evacuation system: Make sure there is a functional flue gas
evacuation system.
If you try to respect all these considerations I can tell by now that you and your Rangemaster 110 shall be in safety together.
