Operation

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. 2 - 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

.

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.

A - Burner cap
B - Burner crown
C - Ignition electrode
D - Thermocouple

Fig. 1

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

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 over­heated.

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

The pan supports can be removed to easily clean
the hob. After cleaning the hob, make sure the pan
supports are correctly positioned.In order to properly
place the pan supports, make sure that the longest
arm of the pan support is positioned in
correspondance with the hole placed at the base of
the burner as shown in the picture.
This way , the pan support will be stable and fixed
(Fig. 2).

Pay attention when replacing the pan
supports in order to avoid scratching
the glass hob top.

Fig. 2

If washing the pan supports by hand, take care when drying them as the enamelling
process occasionally leaves rough edges. If necessary, remove stubborn stains
using a paste cleaner.

The hob top

Clean the hob while it is still warm.
Never use aggressive or abrasive agents, such as oven sprays, stain or rust removers, scouring
powders, or sponges with an abrasive effect.
Special cleaning agents and ceramic hob scrapers are available from department stores.
Slight, non-burnt soilage can be wiped off with a damp cloth. Burnt soilage has to be removed with a
scraper. Afterwards wipe off the ceramic hob with a damp cloth.
Light metallic stains (aluminium residues) can be removed from the cooking zone with a ceramic hob
cleaning agent such as Vitroclen when cool.
Sugar solutions, food stuffs with a high sugar content must be removed immediately with a scraper . If this
type of soilage is not removed immediately it can cause irreparable damage to the ceramic surface.
When the surface has cooled wipe over with a damp cloth and Vitroclen.
Before using any detergent or cleaning agent on the ceramic top, ensure they are recommended by the
manufacturer for use on ceramic hobs.

electrolux 11

Do not apply any cleaning agents to hot cooking zones. Ensure any residues are wiped off before the
cooking zones are used again.

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.
Care should be taken when preparing food or drinks containing sugar. If anything of this nature
accidentally comes into contact with the ceramic surface it must be scraped off immediately while
stlll hot and wiped away to avoid damage to the surface.

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.
