During Use
z This hob is intended for domestic cooking only. It is not designed for commercial or
industrial purposes.
z It is important to note that the plate may smoke a little and produce a slightly unpleasant
odour when used for the first time. This is quite normal and will disappear after a few
minutes.

INSTALLATION
The hob must be installed according to the instructions supplied.
The hob must be installed by qualified personnel to the relevant British Standards.
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
Electric Hotplates
To switch on a hotplate, turn the relevant control knob anticlockwise to the required heat
setting.
The control knob is numbered 1 - 3
0 - OFF
1 - Minimum
3 - Maximum.
The hob has two rapid hotplates. The rapid hotplates are indicated by a red dot, and will
heat up more quickly than a normal plate. As the red dots are painted on the plate, they may
deteriorate during use and even disappear completely after a period of time. This will not
affect the performance of the hob.
It is important to note that the plate may smoke and produce a slightly unpleasant odour when
used for the first time. This is quite normal and will disappear after a short while.
Operating Pilot Lamp
This lamp comes on each time a cooking zone is switched on.
For best cooking zone regulation, refer to the
following table.
Boiling
To parboil, select setting 3 and bring the
water to the boil and then turn back to 1 to
finish for boiling; use higher or lower
settings as required.
Frying
Heat up the fat/oil on setting 3, then insert
food to be fried and turn back to 2; use
higher or lower settings as required.

broths, pancakes or fish
High • Larger stews, meat roll, fish,
omelettes, steaks
Fast 3 Steaks, escalopes and frying.

Hints and Tips
Saucepans for use on solid plates should have several
characteristics:
z They should be fairly heavy duty
z They should fit the heat area exactly, or
be slightly larger for efficient use, NEVER
smaller.
z They should have a flat base to ensure
good contact with the plate.
This is particularly important when using
pans for high temperature frying or
pressure cooking.
As soon as liquid starts boiling, turn down the
plate control knob so that it will barely keep the
liquid simmering.
You can switch off the plate a short while before
you finish cooking, and the final stage will be
completed on the accumulated heat. Similarly,
stews etc. cooked in well covered saucepans
cook at lower temperature which is more
economical.
Ensure pans are large enough to avoid liquids
being split onto the plates.
Never leave the plates on without a pan on
them or with an empty pan on them.
Take care never to lean or reach over a hot electric plate. Always point pan handles inward
or over the work surface next to the hob to avoid accidentally knocking over a pan as you
pass by.
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.
9
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
Regularly wipe over the hob top using a soft cloth well wrung out in warm water to which a
little washing up liquid has been added. Avoid the use of the following:
- household detergent and bleaches;
- impregnated pads unsuitable for non-stick saucepans;
- steel wool pads;
- bath/sink stain removers.
Should the hob top become heavily soiled, the following products are recommended:
- For stainless steel hobs use a proprietary stainless steel cleaner.
- For other hob use Hob Brite or Bar Keepers Friend.
The Hotplates
Spills onto the actual plate should be removed using warm water and a soft brush, nylon or
plastic scourer. To keep the plates looking as new, hotplate conditioner can be purchased
from most hardware stores, e.g. "4 Hob" by HomeCare Products (follow the manufacturer's
instruction for use).
Alternatively, wipe the plates with a drop of olive oil on a kitchen towel to avoid rust. It is
important to note that the plate will smoke a little and produce a slightly unpleasant odour
when next used.
Failure to clean and condition hotplates may lead to rust and corrosion forming on the
surface.
Stainless steel parts: the stainless steel spill rings may become straw coloured with use.
Use a proprietary stainless steel cleaner to remove this straw discolouration. This also
applies to the area around the hotplates on stainless steel hobs.

Something Not Working?
If the hob is not working correctly, please carry out the following checks before contacting your local
AEG Service Force Centre.
SYMPTOM
The plate does not heat up.
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 failed
Check the correct control knob has been
turned.
The plate is not giving satisfactory results
Check the plate is clean and dry
Check the cooking pan is the correct size
for the plate.
Check the cooking pan has a flat bottom
Check the setting is correct for the type of
cooking.
If after all these checks, your hob still does not operate correctly, contact your local AEG Service
Force Centre.
Please note that it will be necessary to provide proof of purchase for any in-guarantee
service calls.
In-guarantee customers should ensure that the above checks have been made as the
engineer will make a charge if the fault is not a mechanical or electrical breakdown.
