Operation
Hob burners
To light a burner:
))
)
))
z turn the relevant control knob anticlockwise to the
maximum position, then push it down to ignite the
burner;
z upon ignition, keep the knob pushed down about 5
seconds. This will allow the "thermocouple" (Fig. 1,
lett. D) to be heated and the safety device to be
switched off, otherwise the gas supply would be
interrupted.
z then, check the flame is regular and adjust it as
required.
If you cannot light the flame even after several attempts,
check the "cap" and “crown” (Fig. 1, lett. A, B) are in the
correct position.
To put the flame out, turn the knob to the symbol z.
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).

Large (rapid) 180 mm 260 mm
Medium (semi-rapid) 120 mm 220 mm
Small (auxiliary) 80 mm 160 mm
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.
As soon as a liquid starts boiling, turn down the
flame so that it will barely keep the liquid simmering.
If the control knobs become difficult to turn, please
contact your local Electrolux Service Force Centre.

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, it is
recommended that a cleaning product such as Hob Brite
or Bar Keepers Friend is used.
Cast Iron Pan Supports
The hob has cast iron pan supports.
Take care when removing them. They are very heavy and
could damage the hob or your kitchen furniture if you let
them fall down.
To keep the pan supports in the correct position, they
are hooked into hinges at the back of the hob. When
removing the pan supports, lift them up as shown in the
diagram. Never turn the pan supports on the hinges, this
could damage them.
Wash the pan supports using hot soapy water. If
necessary, a paste cleaner or a soap impregnated steel
wool pad can be used with caution.
After cleaning, be sure to wipe dry with a soft cloth.
NO
YES
The Burners
The burner caps and crowns (Fig. 1) can be removed for
cleaning. Wash the burner caps 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 and
metal electrode (Fig. 1 - letter C). Keep these
components very clean, to avoid lighting difficulties, and
check that the burner crown holes are not obstructed.
