Before using the hob for the first
time, read the operating and assembly instructions carefully.
You protect yourself and avoid
damage of your appliance.
The appliance must be installed by a qualified
electrician.
Use the hob only upon its installation. This protects
you from touching electric parts.
Repairs of electric appliances must be undertaken by
qualified electricians only. Improper repairs can cause
serious harm and danger for the user.
The appliance is only disconnected from the mains
when the fuse is turned off or the mains connection is
interrupted.
Prevent little children from touching the cook top when
in use. Children also can burn themselves by pulling
pans or pots off the hob.
The ceramic hob surface is resistant to extreme
temperatures. Neither cold nor heat can harm it. Avoid
to drop anything on the hob. Punctiform impacts, e.g. by
the fall of a salt shaker, can cause fissures and cracks.
If any cracks appear on the hob surface, the hob has
to be switched off immediately. Disconnect the appliance
from the mains and inform the service department.
A defective hob surface allows overboiling food to
penetrate and the contact with live parts.
Electrolux declines any liability should the appliance
be used improperly and the safety measures not be
observed. Please note the maintenance and cleaning
instructions carefully. Using other hobs than those of
Electrolux-Brand excludes any liability.
Keep these operating and assembling instructions!
The cooking zones heat up quickly when they are
turned on. Turn them on only when you have placed a
saucepan onto the cooking area.
The residual heat indicator lights up to show if a
cooking zone is still running resp. is still hot.
If you use a socket close to the hob, take care that the
cable of the appliance does not touch the hot surface of
the hob.
Be careful by using the hob as a working-table or when
depositing items on the hob's surface. The items you
place on the hob could easily catch fire when turning on
the hob accidentally. Afterwards the hob should be
cleaned thoroughly.
Never leave the hob unattended when working with oil
and fats because of the danger of fire.
Sugar (solid or liquid) as well as plastic should never
get onto the hot surface of the hob. Also, never use
plastic or aluminium foil dishes. They melt at high
temperatures and can cause fissures and cracks when
the hob cools down. Spills of sugar or melted plastic
material must be removed while the hob is still warm and
before the remains have set.
Scrape off the remains of sugar or plastic with a scra-per.
Protect your hands.
Use only pans with flat bases without rough edges to
avoid remaining scratches

Unpacking and control
Please examine the appliance for
any damage sustained during
transportation! If the appliance is
damaged please immediately in-form
the forwarding company before the
appliance is connected. The packing
material should be dispo-sed
properly.
Before the first use
Clean your ceramic hob thouroughly before its first use.
Ceramic hobs are treated and cleaned the same way as
glass. When you use the ceramic hob for the first time
it can temporarely emit an odeur caused by the vaporation
of water in the isolation.

Cooking zones
Thecookingzonesareclearlymarkedontheceramicsurface. Only the cooking zone which is switched on will be
heated up. The remaining surface will not get hot.
Double circuit cooking zones
These cooking zones allow you to adjust the size and the
form of the cooking zones to the cooking equipment you
use.

Operating the hob
Halogene cooking zone
The halogene cooking zone is heated up very rapidly
compared to the normal one-circuit cooking zone. It can
be compared with a gas cooking zone, without having its
inconveniences.
When switched on the halogene lamps immediately
effect their full heating power.
Use the halogene cooking zone to heat up food quickly.
Residual heat indicator
Each cooking zone is related to one indicator. The
warning lamp lights up when the surface of the
corresponding cooking zone reaches a temperature
which could cause burning. This lamp remains lit after the
heated-up area has been switched off as long as the
residual heat of the corresponding cooking surface can
cause burnings. The light will only extinguish when there
is no more danger (temperature below 50°C).
The remaining heat should be used to get food readycooked or keep food warm.
Cooking Equipment
Specially tested cooking and frying pans for ceramic
hobs exist. Pay attention to the declaration of the
manufacturer.
Cooking pans with aluminium or copper bottoms
can cause metallic discolouration that can not
removed anymore. Be especially careful in using
enamel pans. Avoid the heating-up of empty pans
since their base could be damaged in a way which
can cause scratches when removed on the hob's
surface.
The following advice should be considered to
achieve an optimal energy consumption as well as
to avoid that overboiling food can be burnt onto the
cooking zones.
Bottom of pans:
Cooking and frying pans should have a flat and solid
base. A base with rough edges can scratch and leave
abrasion marks on the ceramic surface! Ask for electric
saucepans.
Size of pans:
Pan or pot diameters should correspond to the diameter
of the cooking zone.
Lid of pans:
A lid prevents heat to escape, shortens the heating-up
time and reduces the energy consumption.

Maintenance
The maintenance remains the same
for glass and ceramic hobs. Never
use aggressive detergents or scouring powder and sponges with
abrasive surfaces.
Cleaning after each use
Slight, not burnt soiling has to be wiped off with a
damp cloth without using detergents. The use of
detergents may lead to discolouring. These heavy stains
can not be wiped off easily by the first attempt and
sometimes not even with a special detergent.
Burnt soiling has to be removed with a scraper.
Afterwards wipe off the ceramic hob with a damp cloth.
Stain removal
Light metallic stains (aluminium remains) can be
removed from the cooled down cooking zone with a
special detergent. Calcareous deposits (caused by
overboiling water) can be removed with vinegar or a
special detergent.
Removal of sugar, sugar-containing food, plastic
objects or kitchen foil
The cooking zone involved must not be turned off! The
remains have to be scraped off the hot cooking zone
immediately with a scraper. The cooking zone can be
switched off after the removal of the soiling. It may be
cleaned with a special detergent after it has cooled down.
The mentioned detergents are available in supermarkets, electrical shops, drug stores, grocery stores
and kitchen studios.
Scrapers are available in craft shops and department
stores as well as in decoration stores.
Do not apply detergents on hot cooking zones. Best
is to the detergent dry on the surface and to wipe it off with
a damp cloth. If there are remains of cleaning agents
wipe them off before you turn on the heat again. Remains
could corrode.
Electrolux declines any liability should the appliance
be used improperly and the safety measures not be
observed.

Installation
1. Cut out worktop to prescribed measurements (fig.1) or
templates (saw exactly along the scribing) and fasten
the fixing springs in the cutout with the enclosed
screws. Position the springs according the enclosed
template. The upper part of the ressort is the spacing
stop.
2. The working plate must be clean. Check seal for
perfect fit and overall cover. Lower the ceramic hob into
the cut-out. Press firmly on one side then on the
opposite side to snap-in the unit.
A sealing is glued onto the frame so there is no need
for further sealing material (important for the removal
in case of a defect).
The installation of the corresponding control box or oven
will be carried out according to separate instuctions. In
order to protect the appliance from damage only ovens
or control boxes which are approved by the manufacturer
must be connected to the ceramic hob.
The installation of electrical appliances must be
undertaken by qualified electricians only. Improper
repairs can cause serious harm and danger for
users. The protection against accidental contact
must be ensured by proper installation.

Attention: If installed in stone, ceramic tiles or lava
worktops, the fixing ressorts will not be fastened. Instead,
silicone will be put under the cover frame. To avoid that
silicone runs down between the glass ceramic hob and
the worktop (fig.3, pos.1) a sealing will be glued to the
ceramic hob (fig.3, pos.2). The sealing can be ordered
free of charge under article no. 374 0161-02.
The distance between the underside of the hob and the
furniture beneath must be at least 20 mm (fig.4).
Important for the removal of the hob
1. Disconnect the appliance from the mains.
2. In order to take out the whole glassceramic hob, use
a medium flat screwdriver or spatula. Put it in between
the frame and worktop on the area where the snap-in
ressorts are located.
3. Then slightly lift the unit out. Take care not to damage
the worktop.
Attention: If there are any repairs to be effected, the
appliance must be non-tensioned.
If any fissures or cracks appear on the
hob's surface the hob has to be switchedoff immediately. Disconnect the appliance from the mains and inform the service
department.
