Rayburn Technical Tips

Rayburn Technical Tips Image

How does a Rayburn work?

Rayburn boilers work the same as regular boilers. Hot water is provided through a cylinder, which is a tank that stores hot water. The more cooking you do, the more hot water you get. Rayburns are thermostatically controlled; therefore, maintain a constant temperature.

Where are Rayburns made?

Rayburns were founded during the Industrial Revolution and produced in The Coalbrookdale Foundry in Ironbridge, which continues to be the place where all castings are made. Rayburns are now made in the same factory as AGA, which is located in Shropshire.

Are Rayburns efficient?

Solid Fuel Rayburns are amongst the best when it comes to efficiency, being 'A' rated, which is 92.2% efficient. They can be amended to suit your lifestyle and do the most they possibly can for as little cost as possible. 

Tips for cleaning your Rayburn

  • Any splashes or spills on the enamel should be wiped straight away with a soap-filled pad.
  • Main hot ovens and hot plates are self-cleaning due to the carbonisation process
  • For any stubborn stains on plain cast-iron, use a wire brush
  • Never use cold, wet cloths or oven cleaners
  • Cream cleanser can be used for the inner linings of the oven doors and insulating lids
  • Any polished surfaces can be cleaned with a damp, soapy cloth and a clean, dry cloth for afterwards
  • Nothing rough should be used on the side panels or handrail brackets, as they are powder coated
  • Nothing rough should be used on the side panels or handrail brackets, as they are powder coated
