Hob burners
To light a burner:
lturn the relevant control knob anticlockwise to the maximum position, then push it down to
ignite the burner. Upon, ignition, adjust the flame as required.
lIf the burner does not ignite, turn the control knob to zero, and try again.
When switching on the mains, after installation or a power cut, it is quite normal for the
spark generator to be activated automatically.
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).
Burner minimum maximum
diameter diameter
Large (rapid) 180 mm. 260 mm.
Medium (semi-rapid) 120 mm. 220 mm.
Small (Auxiliary) 80 mm. 160 mm.
Operation
As soon as a liquid starts boiling, turn down the flame
so that it will barely keep the liquid simmering.
If you use a saucepan which is smaller than the
recommended size, the flame will spread beyond
the bottom of the essel, causing the handle to
o erheat.
Take care when frying food in hot oil or fat, as the
o erheated splashes could easily ignite
If the control knobs become difficult to turn, please
contact your local AEG Ser ice Force Centre.

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.
Pan Supports
The pan supports are dishwasher proof. If washing them by hand, take care when drying
them as the enamelling process occasionally leaves rough edges. If necessary, 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.
