INSTALLATION
Any gas installation must be carried out by a registered CORGI 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.

Page 5
Operation
HOB BURNERS
To light a burner, turn the relevant control knob anticlockwise to the maximum position. At
the same time push the electric ignition button which is marked with a little spark. Then
adjust the flame as required.
If the burner does not ignite, turn the control knob to zero, and try again.
When switching on the mains, after installation or a power cut, it is quite normal for the
spark generator to be activated automatically.
To ensure maximum burner efficiency, you should only use pots and pans with a flat
bottom fitting the size of the burner used (see table).
Burner minimum maximum
diameter diameter
Large (rapid) 160 mm. 240 mm.
Medium (semi-rapid) 120 mm. 220 mm.
Small (Auxiliary) 80 mm. 160 mm.
40
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 AEG Service
Force Centre.
Page 6
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 wasing 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, it is recommended that a cleaning product
such as Hob Brite or Bar Keepers Friend is used.
Pan Supports
The pan supports are dishwasher proof. If washing them by hand, take care when drying
them as the enamelling process occasionally leaves rough edges. If necessay, 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.

Appliance must be electrically disconnected - meter set on W (Ohms) x 1
scale and adjust zero if necessary.
Test leads from any appliance earth point to earth pin on plug.
Resistance should be less than 0.1 W (Ohm), check all earth wires for
continuity and all contacts clean and tight.
B. INSULATION CHECK
Appliance electrically disconnected, all switches ON.
a) meter set on W (Ohms) x 1 scale.
Test leads from L to N in appliance terminal block. If meter reads «0» then
there is a short circuit.
b) meter set on W (Ohm) x 100 scale.
Repeat test with leads from L to E. If meter reads less than × (infinity) there
is a fault.
NOTE - Should it be found that the fuse has failed but no fault is indicated - a detailed
continuity check (i.e. by disconnecting and checking each component) is required to
trace the faulty component.
It is possible that a fault could occur as a result of local burning/arcing but no fault
could be found under test. However a detailed visual inspection should reveal evidence
of burning around the fault.
