Congratulations from AEG

Dear Customer,

Congratulations with your new Hob.

It is important that you become familiar with the functions and features of
the Hob. You should therefore read these operating instructions as they will
help you get the most out of your new Hob.
Pay extra attention to sections marked . These are warning texts to help
you avoid accidents.

Keep the operating instructions. They will come in handy if there is
something you are not sure about, and should accompany the Hob if it is
transferred to a new owner.

The structure of the operating instructions enables you to use them as a
reference manual. The first part of the operating instructions contains a
general description of your new product. Then follows a short introduction
of the things to do before you use the Hob for the first time. The section
“How to use” describes how the Hob is used in everyday life. Use this
section until you are familiar with your new Hob. The section “Cleaning
and Maintenance” provides information on both daily and more thorough
cleaning of the individual components of the Hob. Should problems arise
when you use the Hob, you can look in the section “Before calling service”,
where there are instructions on how to remedy some practical and technical
problems yourself.

Enjoy!

Regards,

Burner cover/inner burner
ring/outer burner ring

Together with the inner burner ring the
outer burner ring forms a space where the
final mixture of gas and air takes place in
order to make the gas burn correctly.

Please note: It is consequently very
important that the inner burner ring/outer
burner ring is placed correctly, together
with the cover.

If the burner cover/rings are wrongly
placed the burner will operate incorrectly,
and the burner may be damaged within a
short space of time. It is also important,
that the inner air ring is placed correctly.

Ignition electrode (A)

The burner has been provided with an
ignition electrode. As long as the
operating knob is depressed, the
automatic ignition will ensure that a
spark is emitted between the ignition
electrode and the burner cover.

Thermo Sensor (B)

The gas unit features fully-secured gas

seconds).
Note: Gas admission is always allowed
while the operation button is pressed ­See start-up procedure

Please note: If the wok is mounted in a
table top with a cupboard underneath,
the flame might be blown out if the
door is slammed.

The wok-unit has a special pan support
which enables use of a wok pot with
curved bottom.
When using cooking utensils with a
flat bottom the diameter of the utensils
must not be less than 26 cm.

Ignitions

1. Depress and turn the control knob
for the burner, the left to Max. flame

2. The ignition electrode will emit
sparks, and when the mixture of gas
and air is correct, the burner will be
ignited. Is not possible to connect
the unit to mains, a match may be
used to ignite the burner

3. After starting the burner, press the
control knob for approx. 10
seconds to activate the automatic
thermo couple.

4. Important Ignition position is at

Max flame

Cleaning and maintenance of

For reasons of hygiene and
safety, the cooking burner
must be kept clean.
Grease stains and spilled
food generate smoke when
heated, and can even cause
fire.

Splashguard

The splashguard can be removed to
make it easier to clean the surface.

What to do:

1. Hold the splashguard as shown
in the diagram.

2. Lift the splashguard straight up

3. Clean the top surface as
described in “cleaning the steel
surface”.
Be aware of the two retaining
pegs, which are sharp.

4. Replace the splashguard in
position ENSURE that it is
fitted the correct way round.

Never use hard or sharp
implements to lift off the

splashguard.

Do not wash the splashguard

in a dishwasher.

The hob must not be used
with the splashguard off.

Stainless steel surfaces

Perform daily cleaning with a slightly
damp cloth. For more severe soiling,
use a liquid cream. Always clean the
steel in the direction of the steel finish.
To ensure that the steel retains its
shine, it is recommended that you use
a polishing agent for stainless steel on
a regular basis. Always polish in the
direction of the steel finish (cross­wise).

Never use steel wool, metal sponges or
other abrasive cleaning agents.

The wok

The operating panel with knob, pan
support, top plate and burner
covers/rings are to be cleaned with
ordinary cleaning agents.

However, do not use any kind of
scouring powder.

Avoid saucepans boiling over. If you
have been so unfortunate as to get
water in the burner this water should
be removed before reigniting the
burner, e.g. with a no-fluff cloth.

12

Mounting

Caution: In order to avoid a hazard this
appliance must be installed according to
these instructions for installation

The hob unit can be mounted in any
type of kitchen with a table surface
whose thickness is between 28 mm and
40 mm.

Headroom

The distance to any shelves or tops of a
cabinet under the hob is to be at least 47
mm.

Fixing

Screw the fixing brackets out to such an
extent that they can be turned in under
the table top. Tighten the brackets on to
the table top with an ordinary
screwdriver.

Minimum distance
to wall:
150 mm

Reinforcement
beams

Minimum distance to
wall (non flammable
material): 50 mm

Cut-out measurements

One rectangular hole is sawn out for the
hob combination chosen.
The depth of the cut-out for any unit is:
490 mm
Length of hole = sum of all units`
externally measured length, less 20 mm.

Mounting of Reinforcement
Beams

A reinforcement Beam, with supporting
flanges at each end, is included with
each two-burner unit. For unit
combinations, a reinforcement beam
must be used between each unit.

13

It is not necessary to attach the
reinforcement beam to the work top
surface, as it is held in place by a
specially designed moulding, which is
incorporated in the hob units flanges.

Installation of a single unit

When mounting a single unit, be it a
half-or full size unit, in a
worktopsurface which is thicker than
30 mm, it is necessary to make a
special notch in both sides of the cut­out hole, as shown in the adjacent
drawing.
The purpose of these notches is to
create space for the electrical cables.

14

Installation of wok burner

It is extremely important that
both the inner and outer
burner rings are fitted
correctly into their “guide
notch”, otherwise the burner
will burn with an incorrect
flame pattern and could be
ruined within a very short
period. You must be able to
hear a click telling you that
the rings have been correctly
fitted.

How to proceed:

1. Fit the air valve in the burner
body. See fig. 1

taking care that the guide pin
engages in the notch. See fig. 2.
