I have a Rangemaster 110 oven and the flame in one of the ovens is uneven and is difficult to light. Is there a product or technique that anyone can recommend to clean the burner?
Hi I have just bought a bungalow with a leisure Rangemaster 110 installed in the kitchen. The left oven works fine. The right oven does not automatically light.

Thanks everyone. Cost of replacing a fuse box with a new latest type of consumer unit and carrying out a peri...
