USER INSTRUCTIONS
Congratulations, you are now the proud owner of a new Redfyre
Universal Cooker. As manufacturers we are proud of the features
and quality of construction of all our cookers.
1. DESCRIPTION
1.1 The Redfyre Universal Range cooker is a heat-store cooker
using a single burner powered by Oil. The heat from this
burner is built up and stored in the massive cast iron
components of the cooker interior. This stored heat is
transferred to each of the four ovens and the two hot plates
to provide the unique cooking qualities of a range cooker.
The heat-store cooking process is ideal for winter warmth
and cooking style
1.2 In addition to the primary heat source mentioned above,
the Redfyre Universal Range Cooker has the benefit of an
electrically powered fan oven, grill and conventional oven
to increase the cooking capability of the left-hand ovens, or
to replace the cooking function when the oil burner for heat
store cooking is turned off, such as in the summer.
User Information

Bottom Right - has more moderate heat to be used for
baking and slow cooking. An additional electric Boost
element in the roof of this oven converts it to a second
Roasting Oven when necessary, see Controls for Electric
Operation, 5.4.
Top Left - has shallow heat for very slow cooking
Bottom Left - is a plate warmer
4.2 HOT PLATE
NOTE: KEEP THE HOT PLATE LIDS CLOSED WHEN NOT
IN USE.
The two hot plates are heated as a by-product of the oil
burner function and give you a boiling or frying hot plate
and a simmering plate. See Winter Operating, 7 for
instruction.

5.1 Neon indicators above the top right-hand oven alert you
that an oven is on:
– Boost element = Right-hand neon
– Either of the left side Ovens or Grill = Left-hand neon
CAUTION:
This cooker is excellent for drying tea towels and cloths
but we DO NOT advise drying cloths on the left-hand
side of the cooker when you are using the electric ovens.
5.2 FAN / GRILL OVEN
The top left oven can be used either as a grill or a fan-
assisted oven. The neon next to the control indicates that
the grill is ON

FAN ASSISTED OVEN
This fan oven is electrically operated and has greater speed
than the conventional oven beneath, but can be used in the
same way for baking and cooking modes.

Note the summer and winter settings. These settings
show the difference in temperature between a winter
operation with the main burner ON, and a summer
operation with the main burner OFF.
with either the Winter or Summer settings explained under
5.2 above.
5.4 BOOST
The Boost thermostat is an electric addition to lower
right oil oven. Use this option to greatly
increase the heat in the bottom right Baking oven. With the
main cooker burner lit you must gauge the amount of
additional heat you want to produce.
6. USING OIL ONLY
Traditionally, this heat-store cooker is lit and left to run
day and night. Set the Oven Heat Thermostat to achieve a
steady warmth. Manipulation of this thermostat will increase
or decrease the oven temperature according to cooking
requirements.
Note: The cooker takes several hours to reach full operat-
wing nuts securing the Burner access door, Diagram 3

USER INSTRUCTIONS
WINTER OPERATING
turn to setting 6 for approximately 3 hours and then turn
down to the recommended setting.
7.4 Allow the Burner to establish for approximately 1 hour.
Open the viewing port and check the flame picture. If
yellow/orange flames are detected turn the burner OFF and
call an approved installation engineer.
7.5 TEMPERATURE GUAGE
Above the top right oven door there is a temperature gauge
with three sections: black, silver and red. When the cooker
has achieved a stable temperature you can mark the silver
section with a permanent marker to show the best
temperature setting for your chosen dishes.
When the oven temperature is low it is an indication that
the whole range is below temperature. Frequent adjustment
of temperature is not suited to this type of cooker.
8. HOT PLATE
NOTE: KEEP THE LIDS TO THE Hot plateS CLOSED
WHEN PLATES ARE NOT IN USE.
The hot plates heat as the ovens heat and are centrally
adjusted using the Oven Heat Thermostat, Diagram 8
– Boiling - The left-hand hot plate is fairly fierce and can
be used for rapid boiling, browning or frying dishes.

AR2052
a) A Boost is provided to increase the heat in the bottom right Baking Oven, effectively turning this into a second
Roasting oven:
b) Left-hand Fan Oven - Likewise, while the right-hand ovens are working on oil, you can convert the cool upper-left oven to a Fan Assisted oven or Grill:
For short periods of absence, leave the cooker operating at
a low thermostat setting.
10. USING OIL & ELECTRIC
10.1 You can transform your Range cooker into a very efficient
catering appliance. To do this, use the oil operations
described in Section 6 to operate the right-side oil ovens
and introduce further flexibility with electric. This gives you
great scope and speed for cooking by increasing the
number of ovens at your disposal: a) Boost, b) Fan Oven,
c) Grill and d) Conventional Oven
The controls are behind the bottom centre door. The
thermostat gives a choice in settings for Winter and Summer
because if oil is powering the cooker an oven is already
partially heated.
The neon indicates the Fan Oven is ON
c) Grill - To convert the upper left oven into a grill:
10.2 To turn the Boost, Fan, Conventional Oven or Grill off:
• Rotate the thermostats until the indicator points to OFF

USER INSTRUCTIONS
SUMMER OPERATING/HOB OPERATIONS
11. ELECTRIC ONLY
During the warm summer months, you can turn off the oil
burner to close down the heat-store facility. The hot plates
will be cool with the main burner off and the Hob is used
for all frying, boiling or simmering.

11.1 FAN / GRILL
The Fan Oven can be used either as a Grill or a Fan-assisted
oven
Grill only:
• Rotate the top control to heat the grill element
The neon next to the control indicates the Grill is ON.
The Fan-Assisted oven has greater speed than the
conventional oven beneath but can be used in the same
way, offering all baking and cooking modes:
• Rotate the Fan oven thermostat dial to the desired
Summer setting
The neon next to the control indicates the Fan Oven is
ON.
11.2 LOWER OVEN
Conventional Oven - This oven provides a further baking
The neon beside the control indicates the Lower Oven is ON.
11.3 BOOST
The Boost thermostat for the lower right oil oven can be
used during the summer months, but we do not
recommend its use, except perhaps for storage and plate
warming. The thickness of the cast iron precludes efficient
baking.

11. GENERAL ADVICE
IMPORTANT
11.1 We recommend you switch off the cooker at the mains and
let it cool before cleaning or carrying out any maintenance
work.
You will get better results if you clean the cooker when it is
cool, see 11.3.
11.2 You can use hot soapy water and a cloth to clean the front
and finish with a soft dry cloth to avoid streaking.
11.3 We recommend you switch off the cooker at the mains and
let it cool before cleaning or carrying out any maintenance
work.

field of adjustment from slow melting through to fast
boiling.
REFER to Care of the Cooker for advice on cleaning the Hob
surface.
ALUMINIUM PLATE
15
AR7023
An optional aluminium plate can be fitted instead of the gas or
electric hob to act as a warming plate.
12.1 A vitreous enamel finishes the surround of hotplates on
some models and coats the front, doors and top plate.
Burnt-on food should be removed carefully using a plastic
kitchen scrubber. DO NOT USE wire wool as this can damage the enamel finish.
12.2 The side panels of Redfyre cookers are finished in stove
enamel:
13.1 The inside of each hotplate lid can be cleaned using wire
wool and soapy water while following the grain of the
stainless steel.
14. CLEANING THE OVENS
14.1 The cast iron interior reduces any spills inside the oven to
powder over a period of time. You need only brush out the
oven when dirty:
• Cleanracksandliningswhencool

USER INSTRUCTIONS
HOB OPERATIONS
14.2 Wire brush any stubborn carbon stains and vacuum or
brush away the deposits. The wire brush may scratch the
interior surface of the oven but does no harm. Because the
oven surface is natural you must prevent oxidation by
drying all surfaces thoroughly after cleaning.
14.3 Doors can be lifted off their hinges to clean. DO NOT
immerse the whole door in water because this will affect
the insulation in the door.
