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 Service Force
Centre.

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
washing 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.

Fig.3

FO 2110

Pan Supports

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

The Burners

The burner caps and crowns can be removed for cleaning.

Wash the burner caps 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.

Ignition electrode

The electric ignition is obtained through a ceramic electrode and a metal electrode (Fig.
2 - lett. C). Keep these components very clean, to avoid difficult lighting, and check that
the burner crown holes (Fig. 2 - lett. B) are not obstructed.

7

Something Not Working?

If the hob is not working correctly, please carry out the following checks before contacting
your local AEG Service Force Centre.

SYMPTOM

n There is no spark when lighting the gas

SOLUTION

u Check that the unit is plugged in and the

electrical supply is switched on

u Check that the RCCB has not tripped (if fitted)

u Check the mains fuse has not blown

u Check the burner cap and crown have been

replaced correctly, e.g. after cleaning.

n The gas ring burns unevenly

u Check the main jet is not blocked and the

burner crown is clear of food particles.

u Check the burner cap and crown have been

replaced correctly, e.g. after cleaning.

If after all these checks, your hob still does not operate correctly, contact your local AEG
Service Force Centre.

Please note that it will be necessary to provide proof of purchase for any in­guarantee service calls.

In-guarantee customers should ensure that the above checks have been made as the

Important safety requirements

This hob must be installed in accordance with the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations
(Current Edition) and the IEE Wiring Regulations (Current Edition). Detailed recommendations
are contained in the following British Standards Codes Of Practice: B.S. 6172/ B.S. 5440,
Part 2 and B.S. 6891 Current Editions.
The hob should not be installed in a bed sitting room with a volume of less than 20 m3. If it is
installed in a room of volume less than 5 m3 an air vent of effective area of 110 cm2 is
required. If it is installed in a room of volume between 5 m3 and 10 m3 an air vent of effective
area of 50 cm2 is required, while if the volume exceeds 11 m3 no air vent is required.
However, if the room has a door which opens directly to the outside no air vent is required
even if the volume is between 5 m3 and 11 m3. If there are other fuel burning appliances in
the same room, B.S. 5440 Part 2 Current Edition, should be consulted to determine the
requisite air vent requirements.

Location

The hob may be located in a kitchen, a kitchen/diner or bed sitting room, but not in a bathroom
or shower room.
Before making the cut out in the worktop ensure that the edges of the hob that are to be near
either a side or rear wall have a minimum distance of 55 mm. between the edge of the hob
and the wall.
The minimum distance combustible material can be fitted above the hob is 400 mm. If it is fitted
below 400 mm. a space of 50 mm. must be allowed from the edges of the hob. The minimum
distance combustible material can be fitted directly above the hob is 700 mm. A minimum
distance of 100 mm. must be left between the side edges of the hob and any adjacent

Important

This hob must be installed by qualified personnel to the relevant British Standards.

Any gas installation must be carried out by a CORGI registered installer.

The manufacturer will not accept liability, should the above instructions or any of the
other safety instructions incorporated in this book be ignored.

On the end of the shaft, which includes the G 1/2" threaded elbow, adjustment is fixed so
that the washer is fitted between the components as shown in the diagram. Screw the
parts together without using excessive force.

Gas Connection

Connection to the gas supply should be with either rigid or semi-rigid pipe, i.e. steel or
copper.

The connection should be suitable for connecting to R 1/2" (1/2 BSP male thread).
When the final connection has been made, it is essential that a thorough leak test is

carried out on the hob and installation.
Ensure that the main connection pipe does not exert any strain on the hob.

FO 0814

FO 0264

It is important to install the elbow correctly, with the shoulder on the end of the thread,
fitted to the hob connecting pipe.

Electrical connections

Any electrical work required to install this hob should be carried out by a qualified
electrician or competent person, in accordance with the current regulations.

THIS HOB MUST BE EARTHED.

The manufacturer declines any liability should these safety measures not be
observed.

This hob is designed to be connected to a 230-240V 50Hz AC electrical supply.

Before switching on, make sure the electricity supply voltage is the same as that
indicated on the hob rating plate. The rating plate is located on the bottom of the
hob. A copy is attached on the back cover of this book.

The hob is supplied with a 3 core flexible supply cord incorporating a 13 amp plug
fitted. In the event of having to change the fuse, a 3amp ASTA approved (BS 1362)
fuse must be used.

Should the plug need to be replaced for any reason, the wires in the mains lead are
coloured in accordance with the following code:

Green and Yellow - Earth

Blue - Neutral

Brown - Live

1) Connect the green and yellow (earth) wire
to the terminal in the plug which is marked
with the letter 'E' or the earth symbol
coloured green and yellow.

2) Connect the blue (neutral) wire to the terminal
in the plug which is marked with the letter 'N' or coloured black.

or

FO 0390

3) Connect the brown (live) wire to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the
letter 'L' or coloured red.

Upon completion there must be no cut, or stray strands of wire present and the cord
clamp must be secure over the outer sheath.

In the event of having to change the fuse, a 3amp ASTA approved (BS 1362) fuse must
be used.

A cut off plug inserted into a 13 amp socket is a serious safety (shock) hazard.
Ensure that the cut off plug is disposed of safely.

17

Permanent Connection

In the case of a permanent connection, it is necessary that you install a double pole
switch between the hob and the electricity supply (mains), with a minimum gap of 3 mm.
between the switch contacts and of a type suitable for the required load in compliance with
the current electric regulations.

The switch must not break the yellow and green earth cable at any point.

Ensure that the hob supply cord does not come into contact with surfaces with
temperatures higher than 50 deg. C.

Replacement of the cable

The connection of the voltage cable to the appliance's terminal block is of type "Y". This
means that its replacement requires the specific equipment of a technician.

In this case, only cable types H05 V2V2-F (T90) must be used. The cable section must
be suitable to the voltage and the working temperature.

The yellow/green earth wire must be approximately 2 cm. longer than the phase wires.

A. EARTH CONTINUITY CHECK

Appliance must be electrically disconnected - meter set on W (Ohms) x 1 scale and
adjust zero if necessary.

 Test leads from any appliance earth point to earth pin on plug. Resistance should be

less than 0.1 W (Ohm), check all earth wires for continuity and all contacts are clean
and tight.

B. INSULATION CHECK

Appliance electrically disconnected, all switches ON.

a) meter set on W (Ohms) x 1 scale.

Test leads from L to N in appliance terminal block. If meter reads «0» then there is a
short circuit.

b) meter set on W (Ohm) x 100 scale.

Repeat test with leads from L to E. If meter reads less than ¥ (infinity) there is a fault.

NOTE - Should it be found that the fuse has failed but no fault is indicated - a detailed continuity
check (i.e. by disconnecting and checking each component) is required to trace the faulty
component.

It is possible that a fault could occur as a result of local burning/arcing but no fault could be found
under test. However a detailed visual inspection should reveal evidence of burning around the
fault.
