Instructions for use

Before using the appliance,

remove all the packing

materials, including the

advertising labels and any

protective film.

Hob control knobs

The knobs for the gas rings are located on

the side of the top. The symbols on the

control zone have the following meaning:

no gas

max. gas

min. gas

lighting incorporated in the cock

Lighting the rings

To obtain the flame more easily,

light the ring before placing a

pot or pan on the grate.

Press the knob corresponding to the ring and

turn it anticlockwise to the “max.” symbol.

The lighting symbol (

) is also located in

this position. The flame will light automati-

cally.

Do not operate the igniter for

more than 15 seconds. If the

burner is not lit after 15 seconds,

stop operating the igniter and

wait at least 1 minute before try-

ing to light it again.

After lighting the flame, keep the knob

pressed for about 5 seconds. This time is

necessary for heating the “thermocouple”

and deactivating the safety valve, which

would otherwise stop the delivery of gas.

18 electrolux

Then make sure the flame is even and turn

the knob to the required setting.

If the flame does not light after several

attempts, make sure the “burner cap” and

“flame spreader” are in the correct position.

Manual lighting (in case of a

power failure): bring a flame to the

ring, press the knob and turn it

anticlockwise to the “max.” symbol.

 Always lower the flame or turn it

off before removing pots and pans

from the rings.

If the burner accidentally goes

out, close the control knob and

wait at least 1 minute before

relighting it.

For correct hob use

To ensure lower gas consumption and

better efficiency, only use flat bottom

pots and pans of size suitable for the

rings, as given in the table at the bottom

of the page. Also, as soon as a liquid

starts to boil, lower the flame enough to

keep it on the boil.

Carefully watch over your food during

cooking with fats or oils, because

these substances can catch fire when

very hot.

Do not use aluminium foil to

protect the top during use.

Make sure pots and pans do not

protrude over the edges of the top

and that they are placed centrally on

the rings in order to obtain lower gas

consumption.

Always lower the flame or turn it off

before removing pots and pans from

the rings.

Do not place unstable or

deformed pots and pans on the

rings: they could tip over or

spill their contents, causing

accidents.

Pots must not occupy any part

of the control zone.

Cleaning and maintenance

Before carrying out any

operation, disconnect the

appliance from the power

supply and allow it to cool.

General cleaning

Clean the hob top regularly with a soft

cloth soaked in lukewarm water and a

little liquid detergent. Do not use the

following products:

- household detergents or bleaches;

- soapy scouring pads unsuitable for

non-stick pots and pans;

- steel wool;

- bath or sink stain removers.

If the hob is very dirty, use specific

products available on the market.

 Do not leave acid or alkaline substances

(e.g. vinegar, salt, lemon juice, etc.) on

the hob.

If you notice any breakage or

cracks on the glass top,

immediately disconnect the

appliance to avoid risk of

electric shocks, contact an

After-Sales Service Centre and

do not use the appliance until

it is repaired.

Hob grates

The hobs have cast iron grates.

The grates can be removed from to enable

better cleaning.

Keep the cast iron grates in their seats,

to avoid scratching or damaging the

top.

The grates cannot be placed in a

dishwasher; after washing by

hand, make sure to correctly refit

them.

Electric igniter

Automatic lighting of the rings is ensured

by a ceramic igniter containing a metal

electrode. Carefully clean these parts of the

top periodically. Also, to avoid difficult

lighting make sure the flame spreader holes

are not clogged.

Periodical maintenance

Have the condition and efficiency of the gas

pipe and the pressure regulator (if present)

periodically checked.

In case of any anomalies, have the faulty

part replaced (and not repaired).

Installer instructions

ATTENTION: This appliance can

only be installed and used in

permanently ventilated places

in conformity with UNI 7129

and UNI 7131.

The manufacturer declines any

liability for damage due to

installation not complying with

the current standards or failure

to respect the accident-

prevention regulations.

 Appliance installation and connection

to the power supply must only be carried

out by QUALIFIED PERSONNEL.

Before carrying out any operation, make

sure the appliance is DISCONNECTED

from the power supply.

Installation room

For correct operation of the gas appliance,

the air necessary for gas combustion must

be able to flow naturally in the room.

(The installer must comply with the current

UNI-CIG 7129 - 7131 standards).

The air must flow into the room through

openings made in the external walls.

These openings must have a free open

section of at least 100 cm

2

if the appliance

is equipped with a safety device or 200 cm

2

if the appliance does not have a safety

device.

This opening must be located near the floor,

preferably on the opposite side to fume

extraction, and be made in such a way that

it is not obstructed from the inside or

outside. If the opening cannot be made in

the room where the appliance is installed,

the necessary air can come from an

adjacent room, provided:

 it is not a bedroom or a dangerous

environment;

 it is not in low pressure;

 the ventilation between the room where

the appliance is installed and the

adjacent room is ensured by means of

permanent openings (UNI-CIG 7129).

Fume exhaust

Gas cooking appliances must exhaust the

fumes through hoods directly connected to

flues or directly to the outside.

If a hood cannot be installed, it is necessary

to use an electric exhaust fan fitted on the

external wall or the window of the room,

provided conditions exist so that the opening

for ventilation can be increased in proportion

to the fan capacity (UNI-CIG 7129).

This electric exhaust fan must be able to

guarantee an hourly air change for a kitchen,

equal to 3-5 times its volume.

Gas connection

The gas connection must be carried out in

compliance with UNI-CIG 7129 - 7131

standards. The appliances leave the factory

tested and adjusted for the type of gas

specified on the label located in the bottom

protection, near the gas connection pipe.

Make sure the type of gas used is the same

as that specified on the label.

Otherwise, proceed according to the

instructions given in the section “Conversion

to other types of gas”.

To ensure maximum efficiency and

minimum consumption, make sure the gas

supply pressure respects the values given

in the “Burner specifications” table.

If the pressure of the gas used is different

(or variable) with respect to that provided

for, a suitable pressure regulator for the gas

(NOT LPG) complying with Standard UNI

EN 88 must be installed on the inlet piping.

The use of pressure regulators for liquefied

gases (LPG) is allowed provided they

comply with Standard UNI EN 12864.

The union is fitted on the end part of the

train, with a G 1/2" threaded nut, interposing

the seal between the components as shown

in the figure. Screw the parts without forcing,

turn the union in the required direction, then

tighten everything.

Connection

Make the connection to the gas system using

a rigid metal pipe and fittings complying

with Standard UNI-CIG 7129, or with a s/

steel flexible tube complying with Standard

UNI-CIG 9891, limited to those not longer

than 2 m. When using flexible metal tubes,

make sure they are not in contact with

movable parts or squashed. Pay the same

attention also when an oven and hob

combination is provided for.

The gas inlet union for the appliances is 1/

2" cylindrical male thread.

Make the connection, avoiding any kind of

stress on the appliance.

Important

After installation, always check the

perfect tightness of all unions using a

soapy solution. Never carry out

this check with a flame.
