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,
D) to be heated and the safety device to be switched
off, otherwise the gas supply would be interrupted.
then, check the flame is regular and adjust it as
required.
z
If you cannot light the flame even after several attempts,
check the "cap" and “crown” (Fig. 1, 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.
Triple-crown Burner
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).

D - Thermocouple
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
wrungoutinwarmwatertowhichalittlewashingupliquid
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
recommendedthatacleaningproductsuchasHobBrite
or Bar Keepers Friend is used.
The Burners

Washtheburnercapsandcrownsusinghotsoapywater,
and remove marks with a mild paste cleaner. A well
moistenedsoapimpregnatedsteelwoolpadcanbeused
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.
5
YES
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.
NO
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.

that you install a double pole switch between the hob
and the electricity supply (mains), with a minimum gap
of 3 mm. between the switch contacts and of a type
suitable for the required load in compliance with the
current electric regulations.
THIS HOB MUST BE EARTHED.
The manufacturer declines any liability should these
safety measures not be observed.
The switch must not break the yellow and green earth
cable at any point.
Ensure that the hob supply cable does not
come into contact with surfaces with
temperatures higher than 50 deg. C.
This hob is designed to be connected to a 230-240 V
50 Hz AC electrical supply.
Before switching on, make sure the electricity supply
voltage is the same as that indicated on the hob rating
plate. The rating plate is located on the bottom of the
hob. A copy is attached on the back cover of this book.
Supply cable replacement
The cable used to connect the hob to the electrical supply
must comply to the specifications given below.
The hob is supplied with a 3 core flexible supply cable
incorporating a 3amp plug fitted. In the event of having to
change the fuse, a 3ampASTAapproved (BS 1362) fuse
must be used.
