Rangemaster Classic FX 90cm Dual Fuel Range Cooker - Cream with Chrome Trim

Cream with Chrome trim, this 90cm dual fuel range cooker sets a five-burner gas hob over a multifunction electric oven of 114 litres with an integrated grill.

Cream with Chrome trim is the lighter, more contemporary reading of a traditional range cooker, and it stops a 90cm appliance from dominating a smaller room. The specification runs deep enough for serious cooking: five gas burners rated 11.40 kW in total, and a 114-litre multifunction electric oven with an integrated grill.

The oven is the part worth understanding. It holds 114 litres in one cavity, which is enough for a full roast and its trimmings on five shelf levels. Slide the energy saving panel into place and only the right-hand half heats, so a weeknight tray bake does not cost you a full cavity of energy. Take the panel out again for Christmas.

Ideal for

Family cooking

A 114-litre cavity on five shelf levels takes a roast, potatoes and vegetables together, and the five graded gas burners keep the rest of the meal moving on the hob.

Midweek meals

Fit the energy saving panel and only half the oven heats. It is a sensible way to cook for one or two without firing a 90cm cavity for a single tray.

Keen cooks

Seven oven functions, a 4.0 kW wok burner and cast iron pan supports give you real control, from base heat for pastry to fanned grilling with the door closed.

Key features

11.40 kW gas hob

Five burners rated 4.0, 3.0, 1.7, 1.7 and 1.0 kW give you a genuine range of heat rather than five near-identical rings of the same output.

Single 114-litre cavity

Rangemaster specifies one large oven rather than two small ones, so a wide tray or a tall bird goes in without a fight over which cavity it fits.

Cast iron pan supports

Semi-gloss cast iron across the hob takes the weight of a full stockpot and lets pans slide between burners without lifting them clear.

3-button programmable clock

An electronic clock with three buttons handles timed cooking, so the oven can start and stop without you standing over it.

Full-width storage drawer

A drawer on runners spans the base of the cooker and takes the shelves, trays and the energy saving panel when they are not in the oven.

Two-handed ignition

The hotplate uses a separate igniter button pressed alongside the control knob, a deliberate two-handed action rather than a single accidental twist.

More to know

One big oven, or two smaller ones

Most 90cm range cookers split the space into two cavities. Rangemaster takes the other route here: a single 114-litre oven with a divider you can fit or remove. Fitted, the panel heats only the right-hand side, which is the size you want most evenings, and the left side sits warm on residual heat for plates. Removed, the whole cavity runs on any of the seven functions with five shelf levels available. You get the flexibility of two ovens without permanently losing space to a partition.

What the seven functions actually do

Fan, fan assisted and conventional cooking will handle almost everything you put in the oven, and the difference between them is how evenly and how quickly heat moves. Fanned grilling lets you grill with the door closed. Defrost circulates cold air with no heat applied. The two that get overlooked are browning and base heat: one crisps a cheese topping at the end of a bake, the other drives heat up through the floor of the cavity for quiche, pizza and pastry bases that would otherwise stay pale.

Living with a 90cm dual fuel cooker

Dual fuel means gas on the hob and electricity in the oven: instant flame control above, steady even heat below. It also means two services. The cooker arrives set for natural gas at 20 mbar and must be connected by a registered gas installer, with an LPG conversion kit available separately for bottled gas. On the electrical side it draws a maximum of 3.65 kW. It is 90cm wide, 60.8cm deep excluding handles and 123.08 kg, so plan the doorway and the delivery.
