Hob Burners

To light a burner:

z Turn the relevant knob anticlockwise to maximum

position and push down the knob to ignite.

z After lighting the flame, keep the knob pushed down

for about 5 seconds. This will allow the

"thermocouple" (Fig. 1 - lett. 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.

If you cannot light the flame even after several attempts,

check the "cap" (Fig. 1 - lett. A) and “crown” (Fig. 1 -

lett. B) are in the correct position.

To put the flame out, turn the knob to the symbol

.

In the absence of electricity, ignition can occur without the electrical device; in

this case approach the burner with a flame, push the relevant knob down and

turn it anti-clockwise until it reaches the"maximum" position.

When switching on the mains, after installation or a power cut, it is quite normal

for the spark generator to be activated automatically.

Operation

INSTALLATION

Any gas installation must be carried out by qualified personnel, and in

accordance with existing rules and regulations.

The relevant instructions are to be found in the second section of this manual.

Please, ensure that, once the hob is installed, it is easily accessible for the

engineer in the event of a breakdown.

The manufacturer will not accept liability, should the above instructions or any

of the other safety instructions incorporated in this book be ignored.

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.

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

simmering.

Use only pans or pots with flat bottom.

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.

Carefully supervise cooking with fat or oil, since these types of foodstuff can result in a fire,

if over-heated.

Prolonged cooking with potstones, earthenware pans or cast-iron plates is

inadvisable. Also, do not use aluminium foil to protect the top during use.

Make sure pots do not protrude over the edges of the cooktop and that

they are centrally positioned on the rings in order to obtain lower gas

consumption.

Do not place unstable or deformed pots on the rings: they could tip

over or spill their contents, causing accidents.

Pots must not enter the control zone.

If the control knobs become difficult to turn, please contact your local Service

Force Centre.

Do not keep the control knob pressed for more than 15 seconds.

If the burner does not light even after 15 seconds, release the control knob, turn it the

"off" position and wait for at least one minute before trying to light the burner again.

If the burner accidentally goes out, turn the control knob to the "off" position and wait

for at least 1 minute before trying to light the burner again.

Using the hob correctly

To ensure maximum burner efficiency, it is strongly recommended that you use only pots

and pans with a flat bottom fitting the size of the burner used, so that flame will not spread

beyond the bottom of the vessel (see the table beside).

10 electrolux

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.

This appliance cannot be cleaned with steam or with a steam cleaning machine.

The pan supports

To ensure a better cleaning, pan supports can be removed from the hob (Fig. 2).

Pay attention when placing the

pan supports back on their

position, in order to avoid

scratching the glass hob top.

The pan supports are not dishwasher

proof; they must be washed by hand.

Take care when drying them as the

enamelling process occasionally leaves

rough edges. If necessary, remove

stubborn stains using a paste cleaner.

After cleaning, make sure that the pan

supports are correctly positioned.

The hob top

Regularly wipe over the hob top using a soft clothwell wrung out in warm water to which

a little wasingup liquid has been added.

Avoid the use of thefollowing:

- household detergent and bleaches;

- impregnated pads unsuitable for non-sticksaucepans;

- steel wool pads;

- bath/sink stain removers.

If scratches or cracks are noticed, disconnect the appliance from the

electrical supply to avoid the risk of electric shock and call your nearest

Service Force Centre.

Keep all objects and materials which can melt away from the cooking surface,

e.g. plastics, aluminium foil.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Fig. 2

electrolux 11

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.

Ignition electrode

The electric ignition is obtained through a ceramic "electrode" and a metal electrode

(Fig. 1 - letter C). Keep these components well clean, to avoid difficult lighting, and

check that the burner crown holes are not obstructed.

Periodic maintenance

Periodically ask your local Service Centre to check the conditions of the gas supply pipe

and the pressure adjuster, if fitted.
