INSTALLATION

Any gas installation must be carried out by a qualified installer,
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.

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

Hob burners control knobs

The symbols on the knobs mean that :

there is no gas supply

there is maximum gas supply

there is minimum gas supply

Lighting the burners

For easier lighting, proceed before putting a pan on the pan
support.

To light a burner, turn the relevant knob anticlockwise to maximum

electrolux 33

position (
After lighting the flame, keep the knob pushed

down for about 5 seconds. This will allow
the "thermocouple" 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" is in
the correct position.
If you cannot light the flame even after
several attempts, check the "cap" (lett. A)
and the "crown" (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 anti­clockwise until it reaches the "maximum" position.

)and push down the knob to ignite.

Large (rapid) 160 mm. 240 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.

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.

Take care when frying food in hot oil or fat, as the overheated
splashes could easily ignite.

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

electrolux 35

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.

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.

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.

36 electrolux

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 (see picture).

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

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 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 . 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.

electrolux 37

Something Not Working?

If the hob is not working correctly, please carry out the following
checks before contacting your local Service Force Centre.

SYMPTOM

# There is no spark when

lighting the gas.

SOLUTION

$ Check that the unit is plugged in

and the electrical supply is
switched on

$ Check that the RCCB has not

tripped (if fitted)

$ Check the mains fuse has not

blown

$ Check the burner cap and crown

have been replaced correctly,
e.g. after cleaning.

# The gas ring burns unevenly.

$ Check the main jet is not blocked

and the burner crown is clear of
food particles.

$ Check the burner cap and crown

have been replaced correctly,
e.g. after cleaning.

If after all these checks, your hob still does not operate correctly, contact
your local Service Force Centre.

Instruction for the Installer

• The following instructions about installation and maintenance must be

carried out by qualified personnel in compliance with the regulation in
force. The regulation to be applied for this type of installation is NBN D
5I.003 : "Installations functioning with combustible gas lighter than air".

• The side walls of the unit in which the hob is going to be installed, must

not exceed the height of the working top.

• Avoid installing the appliance in the proximity of inflammable materials

(e.g. curtains, tea towels etc.).

• The appliance must be electrically disconnected before all interventions.

If any electric supply to the appliance is required to carry out the work,
ensure all the necessary precautions are followed.

Gas connection

It is indispensible that the connection to the gas mains are carried out by means of
an AGB tap. Choose fixed connections or use a flexible pipe in AGB (stainless steel).
If using flexible metallic pipes, be careful they do not come in contact with mobile parts
or they are not squeezed. Use the same attention when the hob is combinated with
an oven.
This hob can be operated by Slochteren gas (G25) with a nominal pressure of 25 mbar
or by natural gas with nominal pressure of 20 mbar. No regulation is required for use
by these two types of gas. Before fitting the appliance ensure that the installation has
the correct voltage for the appliance. At full capacity, the drop in pressure
must not exceed 5%. Such a drop in pressure
is caused by the following parameters:

- maximum capacity of meter;

- diameter and lenght of the tube in front and
behind the meter;

- section of transit of variuos tubes positioned
on the circuit;

- diameter of eventual connections.

IMPORTANT - To ensure a correct operation,
a saving of energy and the long-life of the
appliance, the voltage pressure of the appliance
must correspond to the recommended values.
The adjustable connection is fixed to the
comprehensive ramp by means of a threaded
nut G 1/2".
All the components shown in the diagram
have already been assembled in the factory.
The appliance, before leaving the factory, has been tested in order to give you the
best results.

FO 2365

A) Ramp with ending nut
B) Seal
C) Adjustable connection

IMPORTANT - When the final connection has been made, it is

essential that a thorough leak test is carried out on the hob and
installation. Use some soapy water, never a flame.

Adaptation to different types of gas

Injectors replacement

• Remove the pan supports.

• Remove the burner's caps and
crowns.

• With a socket spanner 7 unscrew
and remove the injectors, and replace
them with the ones required for the
type of gas in use.

• Reassemble the parts, following the
same procedure backwards.

• Replace the rating label (placed near
the gas supply pipe) with the relevant
one for the new type of gas supply.
You can find this label in the package
of the injectors supplied with the
appliance.

Should the feeding gas pressure be
different or variable compared with the
required pressure, an appropriate
pressure adjuster must be fitted on the
gas supply pipe, in compliance with the
rules in force.

FO 0392

electrolux 41

Adjustment of minimum level

To adjust the minimum level of the
burners, proceed as follows:

• Light the burner.

• Turn the knob on the minimum position.

• Remove the knob.

• With a thin screwdriver, adjust the by-pass screw. If changing from natural
gas to liquid gas, completely tighten clockwise the screw, until a small regular
flame is obtained. If changing from liquid gas to natural gas unscrew about
1/4 turn the by-pass screw, until a small regular flame is obtained.

• Finally check the flame does not go out when quickly turning the knob from
the maximum position to the minimum position.

This procedure can easily be carried out, anyhow the hob has been positioned
or built in the working top.

Electrical connections

The appliance is designed to be connected to 230 V monophase
electricity supply.
The connection must be carried out in compliance with the laws and
regulations in force.
Before the appliance is connected:

1) check that the main fuse and the domestic installation can support the

load (see the rating label);

2) check that the power supply is properly earthed in compliance with the

current rules;

3) check the socket or the double pole switch used for the electrical

connection can be easily reached with the appliance built in the forniture
unit.
The appliance is supplied with a connection cable. This has to be provided
with a proper plug, able to support the load marked on the identification
plate. The plug has to be fitted in a proper socket.
If connecting the appliance directly to the electric system, it is necessary
that you install a double pole switch between the appliance and the
electricity supply, with a minimum gap of 3 mm. between the switch
contacts and of a type suitable for the required load in compliance with the
current rules.
The connection cable has to be placed in order that, in each part, it cannot
reach a temperature higher than 90°C.
The brown coloured phase cable (fitted in the terminal block contact
marked with "L") must always be connected to the network phase
.

Replacement of the voltage cable

The replacement of electric cable
must be carried out exclusively by
the service force centre or by
personnel with similar
competencies, according to the
current regulations in force.

The connection of the voltage cable to the
appliance's terminal block is of type "Y". This
means that its replacement requires the
specific equipment of a technician. In this case,
only cable type H05V2V2-F T90 must be
used. The cable section must be suitable to
the voltage and the working temperature. The
yellow/green earth wire must be
approximately 2 cm. longer than the phase wires.
