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.

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.

Please, ensure that, once the hob is installed, it is easily accessible for the engineer in the event of a breakdown.

Operation

HOB BURNERS

To light a burner, turn the relevant knob anticlockwise to maximum position and push down the knob to ignite. 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.

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.

As soon as a liquid starts boiling, turn down the flame so that it will barely keep the

liquid simmering.

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 Electrolux Service 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 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.

Something Not Working?

If the hob is not working correctly, please carry out the following checks before contacting your local Electrolux Service Force Centre.

SYMPTOM

■ There is no spark when lighting the gas

■ The gas ring burns unevenly

If after all these checks, your hob still does not operate correctly, contact your local Electrolux Service Force Centre.

Please note that it will be necessary to provide proof of purchase for any in-guarantee service calls.

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.

◆ 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.

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.
