Congratulations from Electrolux

Dear Customer,

Congratulations with your new Hob.

It is important that you become familiar with the functions and features of the Hob. You should therefore read these operating instructions as they will help you get the most out of your new Hob. Pay extra attention to sections marked . These are warning texts to help you avoid accidents.

It is better to use two pans rather than overfill one, or use half quantities.

3. What to use

Use firm fruit or vegetables and wash well before using.

4. Types of sugar

Preserving sugar gives clear jam, however granulated sugar is cheaper and gives equally good flavour.

Keep the operating instructions. They will come in handy if there is something you are not sure about, and should accompany the Hob if it is transferred to a new owner.

The structure of the operating instructions enables you to use them as a reference manual. The first part of the operating instructions contains a general description of your new product. Then follows a short introduction of the things to do before you use the Hob for the first time. The section “How to use” describes how the Hob is used in everyday life. Use this section until you are familiar with your new Hob. The section “Cleaning and Maintenance” provides information on both daily and more thorough cleaning of the individual components of the Hob. Should problems arise when you use the Hob, you can look in the section “Before calling service”, where there are instructions on how to remedy some practical and technical problems yourself.

Enjoy!

Regards,

5. Crystallization

Crystallization may be caused if sugar is not completely dissolved before bringing the jam to the boil. Over boiling will affect the flavour, setting properties and colour of the jam.

6. To test jam for setting.

If a jam thermometer is available, boil the jam to 140˚C. Marmalade should be boiled to 106˚C. If no thermometer is available, remove the pan from the heat, place a sample of jam on a cold dish and cool quickly (i.e. in a freezer or frozen food compartment of a refrigerator). When cold, and if it is ready, it should crinkle and hold the mark of a finger run through it.

The scum should be removed as soon as possible after setting, but marmalade should be allowed to cool before decanting into jars to prevent the peel rising.

Deep fat frying

For safety purposes, when deep fat frying, fill the pan 1/3 full of oil. Do

not cover the pan with a lid and do not leave the pan unattended.

In the event of a fire, switch off at the electricity supply and cover the pan with a lid or damp cloth to assist in smothering the flames. Do not use water on the fire. Leave the pan to cool for at least 30 minutes before moving it.

Do not leave the fat or oil in the frying pan on the hob to store it in case the hob is inadvertently switched on.

1. Preparing the food

Seal the food by coating with flour, egg and bread crumbs or batter. Do not use a basket with batter coated foods as they will stick.

2. Quantity of oil

For safety purposes, fill the pan only 1/3 full of oil.

3. Testing the temperature of the oil It is advisable to use a thermometer to test the temperature of the oil. Alternatively, drop a small cube of bread into oil which should brown in just under a minute if the oil is at the correct temperature, or 190˚C.

4. Cooking the food

Lower the food gently into the oil. Do not add too much food at once or the temperature of the oil will be reduced and may result in soggy, greasy food. Turn the food if necessary, doughnuts float to the surface so they will not brown on the upper side if not turned. Once cooked, drain the food on absorbent paper.

5. Frying temperatures

Preserving

1. Pan size

Do not use a pan that overlaps the perimeter of the hob trim.

2. Filling the pan

To allow for a full rolling boil, the pan should be no more than 1/3 full when all the ingredients have been added.

Service



Before calling service – Technical advice

Description of the product

Sympton

The hob is not working

The hob becomes hot

The fuses keep blowing

The cooking zones do not heat sufficiently

Solution

Check your earth leak circuit breaker. Check fuses.

The ceramic hob will reach a temperature of 80˚C. It may, however, become even hotter if you use cooking utensils with uneven bases or which does not match the size of the cooking zone.

Too many electrical appliances may be in use at the same time. If the hob is connected to a 10 Amp fuse group, the risk of overloading will be considerable.

The cooking utensils must match the size of the cooking zone. Check that the cooking utensils have level bases by holding them against the edge of the work top, for example. Bring a litre of water to the boil in a saucepan with a lid. The cooking zone should be adjusted to the highest setting. The boiling time on the 12 cm cooking zone is approx. 25 min. The boiling time on the 14 cm cooking zone is approx. 13 min. The boiling time on the 18 cm cooking zone is approx. 10 min.
