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.
These instructions are only valid for countries whose identification symbols are shown on
the inside cover of this instruction booklet and on the appliance itself.
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
7
there is minimum gas supply
Triple crown burner
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 position (
push it down to ignite the burner. Upon ignition,
adjust the flame as required.
If the burner does not ignite, turn the control knob
to zero, and wait for at least one minute before trying
to light the burner again.
When switching on the mains, after installation
or a power cut, it is quite normal for the spark
generator to be activated automatically.
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.
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).

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-Electrolux
Service Force Centre.
Using the Wok Stand
A wok stand is provided to enable you to use a round bottomed
wok on the hob. The wok stand must only be used on the central
burner, and should not be used with any other type of wok or pan.
When fitting the wok stand, ensure the recesses in the frame fit
securely onto the bars of the pan supports, as shown in the
diagram.
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, the following products are recommended:
- For stainless steel hobs use a proprietary stainless steel cleaner.
- For other hobs use Hob Brite or Bar Keepers Friend.

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.

Something Not Working?
If the hob is not working correctly, please carry out the following checks before contacting your
local AEG-Electrolux 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 AEG-Electrolux
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.
