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, 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, 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 installation or a power cut, it is quite normal for the spark generator to be activated automatically.

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).

Triple-crown Burner

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

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.

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.

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.

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 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.
