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).

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.
