Setup, Compatibility & Care
This thermocouple is compatible with multiple Rangemaster gas ovens, cookers, and hobs. Before installation, ensure the appliance is disconnected from the gas and electricity supply.
Installation Steps
- Access the burner assembly by removing the hob top or oven panels.
- Carefully unscrew the old thermocouple from the gas valve and the burner bracket.
- Route the new 1500mm line, ensuring no sharp kinks or tight bends are created, as these can damage the internal copper wiring.
- Secure the sensor tip firmly into the pilot or burner bracket so that it is positioned correctly in the flame path.
- Tighten the connection to the gas valve by hand, then snug it with a wrench—avoid over-tightening.
Care Tips
To maximize the lifespan of the thermocouple, keep the probe tip clean from grease and debris. Use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the tip during routine appliance cleanings, avoiding harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbing pads.
