INSTALLATION

Any gas installation must be carried out by a registered CORGI installer, and in accordance with existing rules and regulations.

The relevant instructions are to be found in the second section of this manual.

Please, ensure that, once the hob is installed, it is easily accessible for the engineer in the event of a breakdown.

These instructions are only valid for countries whose identification symbols are shown on the inside cover of this instruction booklet and on the appliance itself.

WHEN THE HOB IS FIRST INSTALLED

Once the hob has been installed, it is important to remove any protective materials, which were put on in the factory.

Operation

Hob burners control knobs

The symbols on the knobs mean that :

there is no gas supply

there is maximum gas supply

there is minimum gas supply

 

Triple crown burner

Lighting the burners

 

 

A

For easier lighting, proceed before putting

 

a pan on the pan support.

 

B

To light a burner, turn the relevant knob

C

anticlockwise to maximum position (

), then

push it down to ignite the burner. Upon ignition,

 

adjust the flame as required.

 

 

If the burner does not ignite, turn the control knob

 

to zero,andwaitforatleastoneminutebeforetrying

A - Burner cap

to light the burner again.

 

When switching on the mains, after installation

B - Burner crown

or a power cut, it is quite normal for the spark

 

generator to be activated automatically.

C - Ignition electrode

 

In the absence of electricity, ignition can occur without the electrical device; in this case, approach the burner with a flame, push the relevant knob down and turn it anticlockwise until it reaches the “maximum” position.

To ensure maximum burner efficiency, you should only use pots and pans with a flat bottom fitting the size of the burner used (see table).

As soon as a liquid starts boiling, turn down the flame so that it will barely keep the liquid simmering.

If you use a saucepan which is smaller than the recommended size, the flame will spread beyond the bottom of the vessel, causing the handle to overheat.

Take care when frying food in hot oil or fat, as the overheated splashes could easily ignite.

If the control knobs become difficult to turn, please contact your local AEG-Electrolux Service Force Centre.

Using the Wok Stand

A wok stand is provided to enable you to use a round bottomed wokonthehob.Thewokstandmustonlybeusedonthecentral burner,andshouldnotbeusedwithanyothertypeofwokorpan. When fitting the wok stand, ensure the recesses in the frame fit securely onto the bars of the pan supports, as shown in the diagram.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Before any maintenance or cleaning can be carried out, you must DISCONNECT the hob from the electricity supply.

The hob is best cleaned whilst it is still warm, as spillage can be removed more easily than if it is left to cool.

The Hob Top

Regularly wipe over the hob top using a soft cloth well wrung out in warm water to which a little wasing up liquid has been added.Avoid the use of the following:

-household detergent and bleaches;

-impregnated pads unsuitable for non-stick saucepans;

-steel wool pads;

-bath/sink stain removers.

Should the hob top become heavily soiled, the following products are recommended:

-For stainless steel hobs use a proprietary stainless steel cleaner.

-For other hobs use Hob Brite or Bar Keepers Friend.

Pan Supports

The pan supports are dishwasher proof. If washing them by hand, take care when drying them as the enamelling process occasionally leaves rough edges. If necessay, remove stubborn stains using a paste cleaner.

The Burners

The burner caps and crowns can be removed for cleaning.

Wash the burners taps and crowns using hot soapy water, and remove marks with a mild paste cleaner. A well moistened soap impregnated steel wool pad can be used with caution, if the marks are particularly difficult to remove.

After cleaning, be sure to wipe dry with a soft cloth.
