Environmental Information

After installation, please dispose of the packaging with due regard to safety and the environment.

When disposing of an old appliance, make it unusable, by cutting off the cable.

Child Safety

This hob is designed to be operated by adults. Do not allow children to play near or with the hob.

The hob gets hot when it is in use.

Children should be kept away until it has cooled.

Children can also injure themselves by pulling pans or pots off the hob.

During Use

This hob is intended for domestic cooking only. It is not designed for commercial or industrial purposes.

When in use a gas cooking appliance will produce heat and moisture in the room in which it has been installed. Ensure there is a continuous air supply, keeping air vents in good condition or installing a cooker hood with a venting hose.

When using the hob for a long period time, the ventilation should be improved, by opening a window or increasing the extractor speed.

Do not use this hob if it is in contact with water. Do not operate the hob with wet hands.

Ensure the control knobs are in the ‘OFF’ position when not in use.

When using other electrical appliances, ensure the cable does not come into contact with the hot surfaces of the cooking appliance.

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

Never leave the hob unattended when cooking with oil and fats.

Never use plastic or aluminium foil dishes on the hob.

Perishable food, plastic items and areosols may be affected by heat and should not be stored above or below the hob unit.

Keep this instruction book for future reference and ensure it is passed on to any new owner.

Operation

Hob burners

To light a burner:

push the electric ignition push-button which is marked by a little spark symbol ();

at the same time turn the relevant control knob anticlockwise to maximum position;

then adjust the flame as required.

If the burner does not ignite, turn the control knob to zero, and try again.

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).

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.

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

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 Electrolux Service Force Centre.

Using the Wok Stand

A wok stand is provided to enable you to use a round bottomed wok on the hob. The wok stand must only be used on the central burner, and should not be used with any other type of wok or pan.

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.

Burner		minimum	maximum
		diameter	diameter
Ultra-rapid
(Triple-crown)		180 mm.	260 mm.
Large (rapid)		180 mm.	260 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 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 and Wok Stand

To keep the pan supports in the correct position, they are hooked into hinges at the back of the hob.

The pan supports can be lifted for easier cleaning, as shown in Fig. 1.

To remove the pan supports completely, proceed as shown in Fig. 2.

The pan supports and the Wok Stand 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

Theburnercapsandcrownscanberemovedforcleaning. 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 Electrolux Service Force Centre.

	SYMPTOM	SOLUTION
	There is no spark when lighting the gas	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.
	The gas ring burns unevenly	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 Electrolux 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.
