The Hardy’s buying guide

A Rangemaster
that fits your life.

Start with your space, your cooking and the details that make the difference. We’ll help you think it through.

Start with your space ↓

01 / Size & fit

Make room for the right cooker.

Compare the appliance’s full dimensions with your kitchen opening. Nominal width is a starting point; the exact installation instructions determine the space and clearances required.

90cmA compact range format
100cmMore width to consider
110cmA wider kitchen presence
Check width, height and depth; handle projection; door opening; surrounding cabinets and extraction; and the delivery route. Oven capacities and layouts vary by model, even at the same width.

02 / Fuel & hob

How do you like to cook?

Consider the cooking surface you enjoy using, your cookware and the services available in your kitchen. Confirm the requirements of the exact cooker before ordering.

OptionWhat to considerCheck before choosing
Dual fuelA gas hob combined with electric ovens.Gas type and suitability, electrical requirements, ventilation and qualified installation.
InductionCooking zones that heat compatible pans directly.Cookware compatibility, zone layout, controls and the specified electrical supply.
CeramicAn electric hob beneath a smooth cooking surface.Available models, cooking-zone sizes, suitable cookware and electrical requirements.

Availability and specifications vary across the Rangemaster range.

03 / Ovens & useful features

Think about what goes in the oven.

Your dishes and trays.

Compare internal dimensions, shelf positions and cavity layouts with the roasting tins and baking trays you use.

Your everyday routine.

Would you use separate temperatures, a dedicated grill or a tall oven? Compare the functions and cleaning features of each model.

Useful, rather than unfamiliar.

Ask us to explain features such as multifunction cooking, telescopic runners and a Handyrack where fitted. Check which features the exact model includes.

04 / Colour & finish

Make it feel at home.

Look at the cooker alongside your cabinets, worktop, handles and splashback. Traditional and contemporary designs can create very different effects.

Colour is only part of the picture.

Compare the trim, handles, controls and matching extraction. Colour and finish choices vary by collection and model; screen images are a guide rather than an exact colour match.

05 / Before you order

A few checks now. A smoother arrival.

  • Record the exact model number, fuel type, colour and trim.
  • Check dimensions and the manufacturer’s required clearances.
  • Confirm electrical and gas requirements with a qualified installer.
  • Plan suitable extraction and ventilation.
  • Measure doors, corridors, steps and turns on the delivery route.
  • Ask about delivery, installation, disconnection and recycling arrangements.

Use the exact model’s manual and Rangemaster’s pre-installation guidance before finalising fitting arrangements.

Your questions

A little more help.

Will the same-width cooker fit my existing gap?

Check the full dimensions and installation clearances for the replacement model. The same nominal width does not guarantee the same depth, handle position, service connections or fitting requirements.

Does every Rangemaster include the same features?

No. Oven arrangements, capacities, hob types and specialist features vary by model. Use the exact specification and manual rather than assuming a feature shown in brand photography applies to every cooker.

Can I see one in the showroom?

Call our team to check which Rangemaster models are currently on display before making a special journey. An in-stock listing does not necessarily mean the appliance is on showroom display.

What should I bring when asking for advice?

Your kitchen measurements, a few photographs, your budget and any shortlisted model numbers are a useful starting point. Tell us how you usually cook and what you would like to improve.
