build up on electrical components.
• Always clean the appliance immediately after
any food spillage.
• Do not place burner caps in a dishwasher.
Controls
Each burner is controlled by a control knob. The markings on
the control panel indicate which burner the knob controls, and
the setting for that burner (see Figure 3).
NOTE! Gas controls turn anticlockwise from ‘OFF’ and have
limited movement.
Lighting burners
Electronic ignition: These cooktops are fitted with mains
powered ignition. When the appliance has been connected
and the power is on, depressing any knob will release
sparks to all burners.
• Keep hands clear of burners when lighting.
• If burner does not light within 5 seconds, turn knob
to ‘OFF’ position, allow gas to disperse, then try
lighting again.
• Burners MUST be operated between ‘HIGH’ and ‘LOW’
settings only.
To light a burner, the knob must be turned to the ‘HIGH’
position, then pushed down as far as possible for
approximately 5 seconds. If the flame goes out when the
knob is released simply depress the knob again, this time
holding it down with slightly more force for the same length
of time. The height of the flame can be varied by turning
the control knob toward the ‘LOW’ position.
In the absence of electrical power, carry out the ignition
directly to the burner with a hand held ignition source.

Choice of burner
For your convenience there is a choice of burners –
• A small burner for special low heat and slow cooking.
• A medium burner for normal cooking and simmering.
• A large burner for fast heating and large pots and pans
(one on the four burner model and two on the five
burner model).
• A wok burner for very fast heating using a wok or large
pot or pan.
To conserve gas place the pan centrally over the burner
and adjust the flame so that it does not extend past the
edge of the pan (Figure 4). Do not boil food too rapidly.
A vigorous boil will not cook food any faster, and will
waste energy.
Pots and pans
All common pots and pans; aluminium, stainless steel,
cast iron ceramic, etc., may be used on your new gas
cooktop. Ensure that the pots or pans are steady and have
flat bases to avoid dangerous spill-over of hot liquids and
wasted energy.
Never use asbestos mats, wire mats or grids, aluminium
foil as it can lead to overheating, cracked enamel or broken
glass. The warranty will be void if these utensils are used
and cause a failure. Woks should only be used on the wok
burner and wok support trivet.

or creamed powder cleansers. Household enamel cleaners
are available, follow the manufacturer’s instructions in their
use. Harsh abrasive cleaners, powder cleaners, steel
wool or wax polishes should not be used.
Stainless steel
The trims are made from Fingerprint Resistant Stainless
Steel. Simply wipe with a soft cloth using warm water and
a mild detergent to maintain the good looks of this mark
resistant surface.
DO NOT use stainless steel cleaners, abrasive cleaners
or harsh solvents.
Ceramic glass
The specially treated glass in the product is manufactured
using the latest technology to the highest possible
standards for both safety and reliability. However, it must be
remembered that as it is CERAMIC GLASS, it may break.
Treat it accordingly. To clean the ceramic glass hob use a
soft cloth or sponge with detergent and warm water.
If the hob is very soiled:
1. Remove soilage using the razor blade scraper.
2. Use a hob cleaner product after there has been
sufficient time allowed for the hob to cool. Shake the
bottle and apply a small quantity of cleaner directly onto
the hob. Rub clean using a damp cloth or paper towels.
3. Use a damp cloth to remove all remaining traces of the
cleaner, which could otherwise burn on when the hob is
next used. Wipe the hob dry.
Cleaning and care
caution
Use the scraper supplied to remove spillages
immediately, while the hob is still hot! Especially sugar
and foods with a high sugar content (eg. jam), melted
plastics and foil, all of which can damage the hob if left.
Razor blade scraper
Use the scraper to remove spillages from the ceramic hob.
How to use the razor blade scraper:
1. Pull back the protective cover until the blade is visible.
2. Make sure that the razor blade is clean and not worn.
There is a risk, otherwise, that it might damage the hob.
New razor blades can be bought from pharmacies.
3. Angle scraper at approx. 45° and scrape away the
spillage. The razor blade can be pressed down hard
onto the hob without causing any damage.
4. Carefully clean the blade by wiping it with a paper towel.
5. When you have finished, press the protective cover
forwards as far as it will go. Keep the scraper out of the
reach of children.
Changing the razor blade:
1. Open the scraper by completely unscrewing the screw
and then place the new razor blade at the front edge.
2. Put the scraper together again and screw the screw
back into place.
3. Press the protective cover forwards as far as it will go to
cover the razor blade.
THE RAZOR BLADE SCRAPER SHOULD BE KEPT
WELL OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN. Use the
razor blade scraper carefully, as the razor blade is
extremely sharp.
Trivets and burner caps
These can all be lifted off and removed for separate
cleaning.
NOTE! When refitting the burner caps, ensure that they are
correctly seated.
Ensure burner caps are thoroughly dried after cleaning or
spillage. When cleaning the burner caps, ensure that all the
flame ports are free of any blockage. IF necessary, use a
toothpick or brush to clear ports. The outer surface of the
burner caps have a polished finish and extra care needs to
be taken to avoid scratching this surface during cleaning. In
instances of heavy soiling, it may be necessary to apply a
non-abrasive cleaning compound and rub with a cloth until
the soiling is removed and then finish with a soft, dry cloth.
NOTE! DO NOT place burner caps in the dishwasher.

This appliance is supplied for use with Natural Gas.
However, it can be converted for use with Propane or
Universal LPG. Refer to LP conversion on page 10.
Supply pipe sizing
The total hourly gas consumption for the appliance is
shown on the data label. The required supply pressure (i.e.
at inlet to appliance regulator, where fitted) for each gas
type is shown on the data label, and given in Table 3 (page
10). Use this information in conjunction with the length
of run, number of elbows, tees and bends, the available
service pressure and the supply requirements of other
installed appliances to determine a suitable pipe size.
For assistance in this matter refer to the appropriate
section of the Installation Code AS5601 (AG601).
An AGA certified class B or D flexible connection may
be used to connect the cooktop in accordance with the
AS5601 (AG601) and in particular section 4.8. Where a
hose assembly is used and the cooktop is in the installed
position, the hose assembly shall be suitable for connection
to a fixed consumer piping outlet located at a point
800 – 850mm above the floor and in the region outside
the width of the appliance to a distance of 250mm. The
point of connection to consumer piping must be accessible
with appliance installed.
Elbow positioning
It is possible to reposition the elbow if required by
loosening the locking nut and elbow by using two
spanners. Re-tighten the entire assembly after the elbow
has been repositioned. When fitting elbow to appliance,
ensure that the sealing washer is fitted.
Operation on N.G./S.N.G.
Regulator
An appliance regulator is provided. The regulator must be
positioned so that the pressure test nipple is accessible
when the appliance is installed.
Connect the gas supply to the 1/2” B.S.P. internal thread
inlet of the regulator. Refer to ‘bench cutout’ (Figure 5) for
connection point position.
Regulators are supplied pre-adjusted and configured by the
component maker for use with Natural Gas.
The appliance installer is not required to make an
adjustment to obtain the correct outlet pressure setting.
An arrow on the base of the regulator indicates the
direction of gas flow when the inlet and outlet of the
regulator is orientated correctly. When the regulator has
been fitted check for leaks from the connections with
soapy water.
Gas connection
1. Check the manometer zero point is correct.
2. Connect the manometer to the cooktop pressure point.
This is located on the regulator.
3. Turn on the gas supply and electricity and try to ignite
the gas.
NOTE! It will take additional time to light the gas for the first
time as air needs to be purged from the pipes.
4. With the appliance operating check the outlet pressure
• when all burners of the appliance are operating at
maximum,
• when the smallest burner of the appliance is operating
at minimum.
Under these conditions the outlet pressure should not
vary from the nominal outlet pressure of 1.00kPa by
more than ±0.20kPa.
If the regulator appears to not be performing satisfactorily,
then check the following points.
1. If the outlet pressure is consistently too low then the inlet
pressure may be too low and adjustment of an upstream
regulator may be needed, or an upstream regulator or
valve with insufficient flow capacity may be present in
the gas supply line. If this is suspected then it may be
necessary to repeat the checks whilst measuring both the
inlet and outlet pressure to determine if the inlet pressure
is in the range 1.13 – 5kPa.
2. Check that the regulator has been fitted to the gas supply
line in the correct orientation, the arrow on the base of the
body indicates the direction of gas flow.
Once these checks have been completed, if the regulator still
fails to perform in a satisfactory manner it should be replaced.
Checking the gas supply
EGASCOOKTOPUMAN txt may09.indd 9 8/5/09 12:32:45 PM
Page 10
Page 11
electrolux e:line gas cooktops electrical connection 11
Under these conditions the outlet pressure should not
vary from the nominal outlet pressure of 2.60kPa by more
the +0.52kPa.
8. If the regulator appears to not be performing
satisfactorily then check the following points.
• If the outlet pressure is consistently too low then the
inlet pressure may be too low and adjustment of an
upstream regulator may be needed, or an upstream
regulator or valve with insufficient flow capacity may
be present in the gas supply line. If this is suspected
then it may be necessary to repeat the checks whilst
measuring both the inlet and outlet pressure to
determine if the inlet pressure is in the range
2.75 – 7.00kPa.
• Check that the fuel selector has been fitted correctly
as per diagram figure 9. Check that the turret screw is
fully screwed down.
• Check that the regulator has been fitted to the gas
supply line in the correct orientation, the arrow on the
base of the body indicates the director of gas flow.
Once these checks have been completed, if the regulator still
fails to perform in a satisfactory manner it should be replaced.
9. One by one, turn the knobs to minimum and screw
in the bypass screw (accessible when the knob is
removed) until a small stable flame results. Turn the
knob to maximum and then back to minimum to ensure
that the correct minimum flame is maintained.

12 electrolux e:line gas cooktops installation/testing the appliance
After installation, test the appliance and ensure that it
operates correctly before handing it over to the customer.
The following procedure is recommended:
1. Turn on the gas and electricity supply and attempt
ignition on all burners, both separately and in
combination. (For correct procedure refer to page 2
Lighting Burners). Note that additional time needs to
be allowed for the initial lighting as air has to be purged
from the pipes.
2. Observe the flame appearance on each burner
(Figure 10). If it is much larger or much smaller than
expected, the injector size and supply pressure require
checking. Where a flame is unsatisfactory, refer to the
Troubleshooting Guide (page 5) to correct the fault. If
the Troubleshooting Guide does not solve the problem,
call the Service Centre.
3. When all the foregoing is satisfactory, check the
turndown setting on each burner, as this may need
adjustment. Valves have a bypass controlling screw,
which may be accessed by removing the knob. This
screw will be located on a particular area of the valve
(refer Figure 11). Normally, this will have been correctly
set at the factory and should not require adjustment.
Please ensure the supply pressure has been
checked PRIOR to any adjustment.
4. If the appliance cannot be adjusted to perform safely
inform the customer of the problem and affix an
appropriate warning notice to the appliance. If the fault
appears to be dangerous the appliance should be
disconnected. If a minor fault exists, the customer may
wish to use the appliance while awaiting service.
If a fault cannot be fixed, please call the Service Centre.
5. The customer should be advised that, in the event
of a fault, the local service organisation or the retailer
from whom the appliance was purchased should be
contacted.
6. When satisfied that the unit is operating correctly, turn
off and instruct the customer on correct operation as
outlined in this booklet. Ask the customer to operate
the controls to ensure that the correct procedure is
understood.
Servicing must only be carried out by an authorised
service person.
Injector sizes required for various gas types are shown in
Table 3 (page 10). The appliance test point pressure for
each gas type is also shown.
For model identification after installation, an additional data
