Electric Hotplates Control Light
The Hotplates Control light will come on each time a

Hints and Tips
Saucepans for use on solid plates should have several
characteristics:
z
z
They should be fairly heavy duty.
They should fit the heat area exactly, or be slightly
larger for efficient use, NEVER smaller.
They should have a flat base to ensure good contact
with the plate.
z
This is particularly important when using pans for high
temperature frying or pressure cooking.
As soon as liquid starts boiling, turn down the plate control
knob so that it will barely keep the liquid simmering.
You can switch off the plate a short while before you
finish cooking, and the final stage will be completed on
the accumulated heat. Similarly, stews etc. cooked in
well covered saucepans cook at lower temperature which
is more economical.
Ensure pans are large enough to avoid liquids
being split onto the plates.
Never leave the plates on without a pan on them
or with an empty pan on them.
5
Take care never to lean or reach over a hot
electric plate. Always point pan handles inward
or over the work surface next to the hob to
avoid accidentally knocking over a pan as you
pass by.
Take care when frying food in hot oil or fat, as
the overheated splashes could easily ign
If the control knobs become difficult to turn,
please contact your local Electrolux Service
MaintenanceandCleaning
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:
-householddetergentandbleaches;
-impregnatedpadsunsuitablefornon-sticksaucepans;
- steel wool pads;
- bath/sink stain removers.
Should the hob top become heavily soiled, the following
productsarerecommended:
-
For stainless steal hobs use a proprietary stainless
steel cleaner.
-
For other hobs use Hob Brite or Bar Keepers Friend.
The control knobs may be removed by carefully pulling

Stainless steel parts: the stainless steel spill rings may
become straw coloured with use. Use a proprietary
stainless steel cleaner to remove this straw

hotplates on stainless steel hobs.
Failure to clean and condition hotplates may lead
to rust and corrosion forming on the surface.
