Operation
Hob burners
To light a burner:
F
l push the electric ignition push-button which is marked
by a little spark symbol ( );
l at the same time turn the relevant control knob
anticlockwise to maximum position;
l then adjust the flame as required.
If the burner does not ignite, turn the control knob to
zero, and try again.
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).
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 Force Centre.

diameter diameter
Ultra-rapid
(Triple-crown) 180 mm. 260 mm.
Large (rapid) 180 mm. 260 mm.
Medium (semi-rapid) 120 mm. 220 mm.
Small (Auxiliary) 80 mm. 160 mm.
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 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.
4
Pan Supports and Wok Stand
To keep the pan supports in the correct position, they
are hooked into hinges at the back of the hob.
The pan supports can be lifted for easier cleaning, as
shown in Fig. 1.
To remove the pan supports completely, proceed as
shown in Fig. 2.
The pan supports and the Wok Stand 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 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.
