Servicing Information

Preparing for an Engineers Visit

When preparing for an engineers visit, it is required that the cooker be cool, so please ensure that it is turned off the night before. A hot cooker cannot be safely serviced. Please also ensure access routes to fuel storage area, flue or terminal are free from obstruction

Service Interval

As with many other appliances, Range Cookers require routine servicing and maintenance to ensure they continue to operate safely and efficiently.

Oil-fired cookers should be serviced every six months.

Gas-fired cookers require an annual service.

Electric cookers: 30 amp should be checked annually for electrical safety and operation. 13 amp models should be serviced every 2 years for operation and efficiency.

Solid fuel cookers require their internal flue-ways to be cleaned monthly, with a six- monthly sweeping of the connecting flue pipe. The main chimney should be swept annually. these operations may easily be performed by the owner, we suggest that an engineer carry out a annual service.
