The new Sandyford range cookers
(www.sandyford.co.uk) we sell are manufactured in Derbyshire and Sandyford have been involved in developing and producing cookers for over forty years.
|
| |
-
Most Sandyford models are available with 1 or 2 burners
to provide cooking, domestic hot water and central heating. All in one unit but individually controlled.
|

-
Sandyford Cookers without central heating
have a single burner.

Sandyford Cookers
use a system which allows swift heat-up times (typically 15-20 minutes to 220 degrees C, from cold), with a thermostat to maintain temperature at a steady level. Heat is still evenly distributed through the ovens by means of very heavy steel, with a hot, top oven and a cooler bottom oven. With Sandyford cookers you can turn off the cooker when you don't need it, saving considerably on fuel and overheated kitchens (especially in summer!).

On a Sandyford, the main oven
is controlled by thermostat with the lower, and smaller oven, being approximately half the temperature of the top oven, plus 10 degrees C.

Sandyford 4 Oven Range Cooker.
This has two burners which are independently controllable which means that the two top ovens are independently temperature controlled. Central heating is available - with the "loss" of one bottom oven.

Sandyford Running Costs.
There will obviously be variations in running costs dependent upon usage patterns, whatever make/type of cooker you choose. However, as a guide, a Classic Aga (cook only, no hot water) is stated in their literature as using approximately 40 litres of oil per week. The Sandyford Classic, if it were to be run 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, at a controlled temperature (top oven)of 170 degrees C (equivalent to "HOT" on the guage), would use approximately 30 litres , with the "burner" running approximately 4 minutes in every 20. But, compared with an Aga "vapourising" burner, an Aga has to be left running all the time owing to its heat-up time (typically 8 hours from cold to hot). If an Aga door is left open too long, the oven temperature can drop and take a while to recover. This is not such an issue with the Sandyford, owing to the way in which heat is produced. It can be turned off, either manually or by a timer, when heat is not needed, or just turned down to a lower heat. The heat-up time from COLD to 170 degrees C is about 15 minutes, which means that oil use can be cut by about half by turning the cooker off, or right down, overnight with no loss of cooking capability during the day. And of course in the summer you only need to turn on the cooker before you cook - it does not heat up the kitchen all day. There's more good news too; you will only normally need to have the Sandyford cooker serviced once a year, and this can be done by any competent heating engineer; generally, at a lower cost than a single visit by an Aga engineer. Agas vary in their need for servicing according to several factors, but most need two visits a year in order to maintain efficiency.

Servicing
is usually required only once yearly and should be carried out by a suitably qualified heating engineer.
|

-
All Sandyford cookers
come with three shelves and a cookbook as standard.

Heat-leak radiator
The fitting of a heat-leak radiator is not necessary for a Sandyford twin burner cooker however it is required for a Sandyford single burner cooker with boiler.

Cleaning.
The cooker should be wiped over daily with a damp, soapy cloth. The enamel should then be polished with a clean, dry duster. Any spillages should be wiped up immediately to prevent hardening of deposits which makes removal at a later stage more difficult. Use a light brass wire brush to keep the hotplates clean. Spillages in the oven can become carbonised at high temperatures, therefore the oven should be cleaned at regular intervals with a stiff brush.

We will always consider buying
your existing range cooker, dependent on its age, make and condition.
