•Thisapplianceisnotconnectedtoacombustionproductsevacuationdevice.Itmustbeinstalledand connectedinaccordancewithcurrentinstallationregulations.Particularattentionshallbegiventothe relevant requirements regarding ventilation.

•The use of a gas cooking appliance results in the production of heat and moisture in the room in which it is installed. Ensure that the kitchen is well ventilated: keep natural ventilation holes open or install a mechanical ventilation device (mechanical extractor hood).

•Prolonged intensive use of the appliance may call for additional ventilation, for example opening of a window, or more effective ventilation, for example increasing the level of mechanical ventilation where present.

•Once you removed all packaging from the appliance, ensure that it is not damaged and the electric cable is in perfect conditions. Otherwise, contact your dealer before proceeding with the installation.

•Never use the hob as a working space. Do not store things on the hob.

•Never use plastic or aluminium foil dishes on the glass hob, as they could melt on the hob, thus damaging it.Anyway,If anything of this nature accidentally comes into contact with the glass surface it must be scraped off immediately while stlll hot and wiped away to avoid damage to the surface. In the same way, remove sugar or food residues with hich sugar content, which may have split from saucepans by using a scraper for glass hobs.

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

•The glass hob is shockproof, but not unbreakable! Hard or pointed objects falling from a height can damage the hob. If scratches or cracks are noticed, disconnect the appliance from the electrical supply to avoid the risk of electric shock and call you nearest Service Force Centre.

Never use scratching sponges, abrasive products or chemically powerful detergents. Use only cleaning agents specific for glass hobs.

•The manufacturer disclaims any responsability should all the safety measures not be carried out.

INSTALLATION

Any gas installation must be carried out by qualified personnel, and in accordance with existing rules and regulations.

The relevant instructions are to be found in the second section of this manual. Please, ensure that, once the hob is installed, it is easily accessible for the engineer in the event of a breakdown.

The manufacturer will not accept liability, should the above instructions or any of the other safety instructions incorporated in this book be ignored.

WHEN THE HOB IS FIRST INSTALLED

Once the hob has been installed, it is important to remove any protective materials, which were put on in the factory.

Operation

)The symbols mean:

= no gas supply

= maximum gas supply

= minimum gas supply

Hob Burners

)To light a burner:

z Turn the relevant knob anticlockwise to maximum position and push down the knob to ignite.

z After lighting the flame, keep the knob pushed down for about 5 seconds. This will allow the "thermocouple" (Fig. 1 - lett. D) to be heated and the safety device to be switched off, otherwise the gas supply would be interrupted. Then, check the flame is regular and adjust it as required.

If you cannot light the flame even after several attempts, check the "cap" (Fig. 1 - lett. A) and “crown” (Fig. 1 - lett. B) are in the correct position.

To put the flame out, turn the knob to the symbol .

A - Burner cap	Fig. 1
B - Burner crown
C - Ignition electrode
D - Thermocouple

In the absence of electricity, ignition can occur without the electrical device; in this case approach the burner with a flame, push the relevant knob down and turn it anti-clockwise until it reaches the"maximum" position.

When switching on the mains, after installation or a power cut, it is quite normal for the spark generator to be activated automatically.

electrolux 9

Do not keep the control knob pressed for more than 15 seconds.

If the burner does not light even after 15 seconds, release the control knob, turn it the "off" position and wait for at least one minute before trying to light the burner again.

If the burner accidentally goes out, turn the control knob to the "off" position and wait for at least 1 minute before trying to light the burner again.

Using the hob correctly

To ensure maximum burner efficiency, it is strongly recommended that you use only pots and pans with a flat bottom fitting the size of the burner used, so that flame will not spread beyond the bottom of the vessel (see the table beside).

Burner	minimum		maximum
	diameter		diameter
Large (rapid)	160	mm	260	mm
Medium (semi-rapid)	120	mm	220	mm
Small (auxiliary)	80 mm		160	mm

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

Use only pans or pots with flat bottom.

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.

Carefully supervise cooking with fat or oil, since these types of foodstuff can result in a fire, if over-heated.

Prolonged cooking with potstones, earthenware pans or cast-iron plates is inadvisable. Also, do not use aluminium foil to protect the top during use.

Make sure pots do not protrude over the edges of the cooktop and that they are centrally positioned on the rings in order to obtain lower gas consumption.

Do not place unstable or deformed pots on the rings: they could tip over or spill their contents, causing accidents.

Pots must not enter the control zone.

If the control knobs become difficult to turn, please contact your local Service Force Centre.

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.

This appliance cannot be cleaned with steam or with a steam cleaning machine.

The pan supports

To ensure a better cleaning, pan supports can be removed from the hob (Fig. 2).

Pay attention when placing the pan supports back on their position, in order to avoid

scratching the glass hob top.

The pan supports arenotdishwasher proof; they must be washed by hand. Take care when drying them as the enamellingprocessoccasionallyleaves rough edges. If necessary, remove stubborn stains using a paste cleaner. After cleaning, make sure that the pan

supports are correctly positioned. Fig. 2

The hob top

Regularly wipe over the hob top using a soft clothwell wrung out in warm water to which a little wasingup liquid has been added.

Avoid the use of thefollowing:

-household detergent and bleaches;

-impregnated pads unsuitable for non-sticksaucepans;

-steel wool pads;

-bath/sink stain removers.

If scratches or cracks are noticed, disconnect the appliance from the electrical supply to avoid the risk of electric shock and call your nearest Service Force Centre.

Keep all objects and materials which can melt away from the cooking surface, e.g. plastics, aluminium foil.

electrolux 11

The burners

The burner caps and crowns can be removed for cleaning.

Wash the burners taps 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 "electrode" and a metal electrode (Fig. 1 - letter C). Keep these components well clean, to avoid difficult lighting, and check that the burner crown holes are not obstructed.

Periodic maintenance

Periodically ask your local Service Centre to check the conditions of the gas supply pipe and the pressure adjuster, if fitted.
