1. Before You Start...
Thank you for buying a Rangemaster Microwave Combo
Oven. 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 Microwave Combo Oven before.
CAUTION: This appliance is for cooking purposes
only. It must not be used for other purposes, for
example room heating. Using it for any other
purpose could invalidate any warranty or liability
claim. Besides invalidating claims this wastes fuel
and may overheat the control knobs.
Installation and Maintenance
The electrical installation should be in accordance
with BS 7671, or with the relevant national and local
regulations. Have the installer show you the location of
the oven control switch and mark it for easy reference.
It is recommended that this appliance is serviced
annually. Only a qualified service engineer should service
the oven, and only approved spare parts should be used.
Make sure that the oven is wired in and switched on.
Always allow the oven to cool and then switch it off at the
mains before cleaning or carrying out any maintenance work,
unless otherwise specified in this guide.
This appliance is for household use and complies with EEC
directives. This appliance can only be used for cooking and
heating food.
Before First Use
Before using the oven for the first time clean it thoroughly.
Switch off the unit at the isolator or mains supply. Remove all
packing materials and accessories. Using hot water and a mild
detergent, wipe the oven interior and then rinse carefully
with a damp cloth. Wash the oven shelves and accessories in
a dishwasher or using hot water and a mild detergent and dry
thoroughly.
Slide the oven shelves into the oven and close the door. To
dispel any manufacturing smells, turn the oven to 200°C and
run for an hour.
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
oven.
When the oven is not in use, ensure that the control
knobs are in the OFF position.
To minimise the possibility of burns, always be
certain that the controls are in the OFF position and
that the entire oven is cool before attempting to
clean.
Cooking high moisture content foods can create a
'steam burst' when the oven door is opened. When
opening the oven door stand well back and allow
any steam to disperse. Take care that no water seeps
into the appliance.
Use dry oven gloves when applicable – using damp
gloves might result in steam burns when you touch a
hot surface. Never operate the oven with wet hands.
DO NOT use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of a
glove – it might catch fire if it touches a hot surface.
Always keep combustible wall coverings or curtains,
etc., a safe distance away from your oven, and never
wear loose-fitting or hanging clothes while using the
appliance.
DO NOT store or use aerosols, or any other
potentially combustible or flammable materials, in
the vicinity of the oven.
Do not pour spirits (e.g. brandy, whisky, schnapps,
etc.) over hot food. Danger of explosion!
Care should be taken to avoid touching the heating
elements inside the main oven.
Whole chickens and large joints of meat should be
defrosted thoroughly in the refrigerator. DO NOT
defrost in a warm oven or while the adjoining oven
is in operation or still warm.
When the oven is on, DO NOT leave the door open
for longer than necessary.
Never heat unopened food containers. Pressure
build-up may cause the containers to burst and
cause injury.
DO NOT use aluminium foil to cover vents, shelves,
linings or the oven roof.
This appliance is heavy, so take care when moving it.
The appliance is not intended to be operated by
means of external timer or separated remote-control
system.
Do not lean on the oven door when open. This may
damage the oven, especially in the hinge zone. The
door can bear a maximum weight of 8 kg.
