• This appliance is not connected to a combustion products evacuation device. It must be installed and connected in accordance with current installation regulations. Particular attention shall be given to the relevant requirements regarding ventilation.

• The use of a gas cooking appliance results in the production of heat and moisture in the room in which it is installed. Ensure that the kitchen is well ventilated: keep natural ventilation holes open or install a mechanical ventilation device (mechanical extractor hood).

• Prolonged intensive use of the appliance may call for additional ventilation, for example opening of a window, or more effective ventilation, for example increasing the level of mechanical ventilation where present.

• Once you removed all packaging from the appliance, ensure that it is not damaged and the electric cable is in perfect conditions. Otherwise, contact your dealer before proceeding with the installation.

• The residual heat indicator comes on when the cooking zone is switched on. Children should be kept away until it switches off.

• Never use the ceramic hob as a working space. Do not store things on the ceramic hob.

• Never use plastic or aluminium foil dishes on the ceramic hob, as they could melt on the hob, thus damaging it. Anyway,If anything of this nature accidentally comes into contact with the ceramic surface it must be scraped off immediately while stlll hot and wiped away to avoid damage to the surface. In the same way, remove sugar or food residues with hich sugar content, which may have split from saucepans by using a scraper for ceramic hobs.

• Unstable or misshapen pans should not be used on the ceramic hob as unstable pans can cause an accident by tipping or spillage.

Operation

Hob burners

To light a burner:

! push in the relevant control and turn it to maximum

position;

! then adjust the flame as required.

! If the burner does not ignite, turn the control knob to

zero, and try again.

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 anti-clockwise until it reaches the"maximum" position.

When switching on the mains, after installation or a power cut, it is quite normal for the spark generator to be activated automatically.

If the control knobs become difficult to turn, please

contact your local Electrolux Service Centre.

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.

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

Prolonged cooking with potstones, earthenware pans or cast-iron plates is inadvisable. Also, do not use aluminium foil to protect the top during use.

Make sure pots do not protrude over the edges of the cooktop and that they are centrally positioned on the rings in order to obtain lower gas consumption.

Do not place unstable or deformed pots on the rings: they could tip over or spill their contents, causing accidents.

Pots must not enter the control zone.

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

Use only pans or pots with flat bottom.

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).

Burner minimum maximum

diameter diameter

Large (rapid) 160 mm. 240 mm. Medium (semi-rapid) 120 mm. 220 mm. Small (auxiliary) 80 mm. 160 mm.

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 and the aluminium frame 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, it is recommended that a cleaning product such as Hob Brite or Bar Keepers Friend is used.

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 necessary, remove stubborn stains using a paste cleaner. Never use steel wool pads or acids.

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.

Something Not Working?

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

IMPORTANT: a charge will be made even if the appliance is under guarantee.

SYMPTOM

# There is no spark when lighting the gas

# The gas ring burns unevenly

If you call out an engineer to a fault listed below, or to repair a fault caused by incorrect use or installation,

SOLUTION

$ Check that the unit is plugged in and the electrical

supply is switched on

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

$ Check the mains fuse has not blown

$ Check the burner cap and crown have been

replaced correctly, e.g. after cleaning.

$ Check the main jet is not blocked and the burner

crown is clear of food particles.

$ 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 Service Force Centre.

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

In-guarantee customers should ensure that the above checks have been made as the engineer will make a charge if the fault is not a mechanical or electrical breakdown.
