Operation

Hob burners

)To light a burner:

z turn the relevant control knob anticlockwise to the maximum position, then push it down to ignite the burner;

z upon ignition, keep the knob pushed down about 5 seconds. This will allow the "thermocouple" (Fig. 1, lett. D) to be heated and the safety device to be switched off, otherwise the gas supply would be interrupted.

z then, check the flame is regular and adjust it as required.

If you cannot light the flame even after several attempts, check the "cap" and “crown” (Fig. 1, lett. A, B) are in the correct position.

To put the flame out, turn the knob to the symbol z.

	When switching on the		mains, after		A - Burner cap
					B - Burner crown
	installation or a power cut, it is quite normal
					C - Ignition electrode
	for the spark generator to be activated
	automatically.			Fig. 1	D - Thermocouple
	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)	180 mm	260 mm
	Medium (semi-rapid)	120 mm	220 mm
	Small (auxiliary)	80 mm	160 mm

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.

If the control knobs become difficult to turn, please contact your local Electrolux 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, it is recommended that a cleaning product such as Hob Brite or Bar Keepers Friend is used.

Cast Iron Pan Supports

The hob has cast iron pan supports.

Take care when removing them. They are very heavy and could damage the hob or your kitchen furniture if you let them fall down.

To keep the pan supports in the correct position, they are hooked into hinges at the back of the hob. When removing the pan supports, lift them up as shown in the diagram. Never turn the pan supports on the hinges, this could damage them.

Wash the pan supports using hot soapy water. If necessary, a paste cleaner or a soap impregnated steel wool pad can be used with caution.

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

The Burners

The burner caps and crowns (Fig. 1) 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.

YES

NO

Ignition electrode

The electric ignition is obtained through a ceramic and metal electrode (Fig. 1 - letter C). Keep these components very clean, to avoid lighting difficulties, and check that the burner crown holes are not obstructed.
