Setup, Compatibility & Care
Proper setup and routine care will ensure your Leisure Dual Fuel Range Cooker performs optimally for years to come.
Setup & Installation
- Professional Installation Recommended: Due to the dual fuel nature (requiring both gas and electric connections), professional installation by a qualified Gas Safe registered engineer and electrician is strongly advised for safety and optimal performance. Ensure your kitchen meets all necessary gas and electrical regulations.
- Power Requirements: Confirm you have the correct electrical supply and a suitable gas line installed at the cooker's intended location.
- Ventilation: Ensure adequate ventilation in your kitchen, especially when using the gas hob. A good extractor fan is recommended.
Compatibility
- Kitchen Space: As a range cooker, this model requires a dedicated space, typically wider than standard 60cm cookers. Measure your intended space carefully to ensure a perfect fit.
- Fuel Types: This appliance is designed for natural gas (hob) and electricity (ovens/grill). Check local gas types if converting from LPG.
Care & Maintenance
- Daily Cleaning: Wipe down the hob and control panel with a soft, damp cloth after each use to prevent food residue from building up.
- Oven Cleaning: For the electric ovens, follow the cleaning instructions in your user manual. Many ovens benefit from specialized oven cleaners or steam cleaning cycles. Always ensure the oven is cool before cleaning.
- Cast Iron Pan Supports: These are durable but should be cleaned regularly. They can usually be removed and washed in warm soapy water, then thoroughly dried to prevent rust. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Grill Pan: Clean the grill pan and rack after each use to prevent grease build-up.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the gas burners for blockages and ensure they ignite correctly. Clean burner caps and crowns as needed.
- General: Avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh chemicals that can damage the cooker's finish.
