WARNING

THE ASHPIT DOOR AND FIREBOX DOORS MUST

BE LOCKED CLOSED AT ALL TIMES DURING

NORMAL USE, EXCEPT WHEN LIGHTING OR RE-

FUELLING

DESN 510179 D

Better than you ever imagined

The cooker fully meets the requirements of BS: 1252
and is fully approved by the HETAS Ltd Approval
Scheme.

Air for combustion within the firebox and the rate of
burning is determined by the manually operated
spinwheel control on the ashpit door and flue damper.

With normal usage in 24 hours continuous burning the
Rayburn Cookmaster Plus 212SFW has an
approximate output of 100 gallons of hot water. To
provide 2 or 3 hot baths at intervals and normal
household requirements, the following conditions must
be fulfiled:-

Rayburn Cookmaster Plus 212SFW - It is
recommended that a 140 litre (30 galls) indirect hot
water storage cylinder of the double feed type, (e.g.
manufactured by Albion Cylinders) complying with BS
1566 Part 1: DF Type 8 should be lagged and fixed
vertically as near as possible to the cooker.

The maximum water pressure is 1.75 bar.
The water capacity of the boiler is 7 litres.
The 28mm minimum diameter primary flow and return

pipes must not exceed 10m in length and pipes longer
than 5m must be lagged.

Ensure that the flow pipe has an open vent and rises
continuously from the boiler to the cylinder to ensure
good gravity circulation.

The water draw-off pipes to the taps must be dead-leg
connection from the vent/expansion pipe.

A towel rail of not more than 0.5m

2

heating surface may
be heated providing the flow and return pipes are not
more than 5m each in length, and provided the cylinder

and towel rail are lagged. When the hot water storage
cylinder is very closely coupled to the boiler, a towel rail
is advisable as a heat leak, and lagging should not be
applied. A radiator is not recommended.

To obtain the boiler outputs the fire must be idled
overnight, and daytime cooking take place.

All installations must be fitted with a drain tap at the
lowest point of the system.

IMPORTANT NOTE: THESE INSTRUCTIONS MUST
BE STRICTLY OBSERVED. IF THEY ARE
DISREGARDED (E.G. AN UNLAGGED OR OVER­SIZE CYLINDER), CONSUMPTION OF FUEL MAY BE
EXCESSIVE, AND THE COOKER DAMAGED BY
OVERFIRING.

In some circumstances it may be possible to overheat
the appliance and the water inside will boil. This will be
evident by the sound of a knocking noise coming from
the appliance and pipes around the house. If this occurs
close off all air controls and manually start the central
heating pump if fitted. Opening the oven doors and
hotplate covers will help to release heat from the
appliance. Be aware that steam and boiling water will
be expended from any open vent from the heating
system probably in the roof space at the expansion
tank.

Rayburn Cookmaster Plus 212SFW - Unscrew the
sheet metal cover plate on the side of the cooker and
remove the insulating material from behind it.

Joint the flow and return connections to the boiler,
replace the insulating material and screw on the cover
plate and collar.

The boiler is now ready for connection to the hot water
cylinder.

HOT WATER SYSTEM

Minimum clearance to
combustible materials
150mm.

IMPORTANT: LIFT OUT THE HOTPLATE AND

CEMENT SEAL THE JOINT BETWEEN THE BOILER
FACE AND ITS LOCATING FACE ON THE FIREBOX
SIDES WITH FIRE CEMENT. RENEW ANY
BRICKWORK CEMENTED JOINTS THAT MAY HAVE

OPENED IN TRANSIT.

The non-combustible hearth must be solid and level
and together with the walls adjacent to the cooker and
chimney, conform to current Building Regulations.

The cooker and chimney flue installation should be in
accordance with the relevant recommendations of
BS8303, BS. 6461 Part 1 and BS. 7566 Parts 1 to 4.

Rayburn Cookmaster Plus 212SFW - The boiler
installation section must also be in accordance with the
byelaws of the local Water Undertaking and any
relevant requirements of the Local Authority.

When the cooker is installed in a recess it must be
‘freestanding’ and not built-in solid at the sides.

Where the cooker is to stand in a recess or against
a wall which is to be tiled, in no circumstances
should the tiles overlap the cooker top plate.

Ensure that any combustible material e.g. kitchen
furniture is spaced away from the cooker to the
recommended distances. See Fig. 1. The work surface
however, may be fitted to the top plate on both sides.

NOTE: SMOKE/SMELL EMITTED DURING INITIAL
USAGE

Some parts of the cooker have been coated with a light
covering of protective oil, this may cause smoke/smell
to be emitted, and is normal and not a fault with the
appliance, it is therefore advisable to open doors and or
windows to allow for ventilation. Lift the insulating lids to
prevent staining the linings.

Rayburn Cookmaster 200SFW: There is no
requirement for additional ventilation as this appliance
is rated at less than 5kW. Should another appliance be
used in the property and the total heat output is greater
than 5 kW, additional ventilation must be provided in
accordance with the Building Regulations.

Rayburn Cookmaster Plus 212SFW: Provision must
be made for additional ventilation. A permanent
unobstructed air vent having a minimum effective area
of 5.5 cm

2

must communicate to outside air or an
adjacent room which in turn has a permanent vent of at
least the same size to outside air.
If a flue draught stabiliser is fitted in the flue this vent
size must be increased to a minimum 23.5 cm

2

. If his
appliance us used with an additional appliance of a
similar type then the air supply must be adequate for
both appliances in accordance with the Building
Regulations.

Any air inlet grilles must be positioned so that they are
not liable to blockage.

It is not permissible to use an air extraction device in
the same room as the appliance, unless additional
ventilation is provided to prevent any adverse effect on
the flue.

Effect of Extractor Fan

Avoid if possible the installation of an extractor fan in
the same room as the appliance or the room where the
permanent air vent is located.

Compensating extra air inlets must be introduced
equivalent to the capacity of the fan wheel when fitted.
