Operation
Hob burners
To light a burner:
lpush in the rele ant control and turn it to maximum
position;
lthen adjust the flame as required.
lIf the burner does not ignite, turn the control knob to
zero, and try again.
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 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.
Burner minimum maximum
diameter diameter
Large (rapid) 180 mm. 260 mm.
Medium (semi-rapid) 120 mm. 220 mm.
Small (Auxiliary) 80 mm. 160 mm.
Maintenance and Cleaning
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).
F
If the control knobs become difficult to turn, please
contact your local Electrolux Ser ice 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 remo ed more easily than if it is
left to cool.
The Hob Top
Regularly wipe o er the hob top and the aluminium
frame using a soft cloth well wrung out in warm water to
which a little washing up liquid has been added. A oid
the use of the following:
- household detergent and bleaches;
- impregnated pads unsuitable for non-stick saucepans;

The hob may be located in a kitchen, a kitchen/diner or bed sitting room, but not
in a bathroom, shower room or garage.
Before making the cut out in the worktop ensure that the edges of the hob that
are to be near either a side or rear wall ha e a minimum distance of 55 mm.
between the edge of the hob and the wall.
The minimum distance combustible material can be fitted abo e the hob is 400
mm. If it is fitted below 400 mm. a space of 50 mm. must be allowed from the
edges of the hob.
The minimum distance combustible material can be fitted directly abo e the hob
is 700 mm. A minimum distance of 100 mm. must be left between the side edges
of the hob and any adjacent cabinets or walls.
Installation
IMPORTANT
This hob must be installed by qualified
personnel to the rele ant British Standards.
Any gas installation must be carried out by a
registered CORGI installer.
The manufacturer will not accept liability, should
the abo e instructions or any of the other safety
instructions incorporated in this book be
ignored.
Gas Connection
Connection to the gas supply should be with either rigid
or semi-rigid pipe, i.e. steel or copper.
The connection should be suitable for connecting to R
1/2" (1/2 BSP male thread).
When the final connection has been made, it is essential
that a thorough leak test is carried out on the hob and
installation. Ensure that the main connection pipe does
not exert any strain on the hob.
It is important to install the elbow correctly, with
the shoulder on the end of the thread, fitted to the
hob connecting pipe.
Failure to ensure the correct assembly will cause
leakage of gas.
WHEN THE HOB IS FIRST INSTALLED
Once the hob has been installed, it is important
to remo e any protecti e materials, which were
put on in the factory.
On the end of the shaft, which includes the G 1/2"
threaded elbow, adjustment is fixed so that the washer
is fitted between the components as shown in the
diagram. Screw the parts together without using excessi e
force.

Building over a cupboard or
drawer
If the hob is to be installed abo e a cupboard or drawer
it will be necessary to fit a heat resistant board below
the base of the hob on the underside of the work
surface.
It is also recommended to carry out the electrical
connection to the hob as shown in diagrams 1 and 2.
Building over a kitchen unit
with door
Proper arrangements must be taken in designing the
furniture unit, in order to a oid any contact with the
bottom of the hob which can be heated when it is
operated. The recommended solution is shown in
diagram 3.
The panel fitted under the hob ("a") should be easily
remo able to allow easy access if technical
assistance is needed. The space behind the kitchen
unit ("b") can be used for connections.
Fitting the hob to the
worktop
Before fitting the hob into the cut out, an adhesi e
seal must be fitted to the underside outside edge
(diagram 4) of the hob. It is essential that no gaps
are left in this seal in order to pre ent spillage near
the hob seeping into the cabinet below.
1) Remo e the pan supports, the burners caps
and crowns and turn the hob upside down,
taking care the ignition candles are not
damaged in this operation.
2) Place the sealing gasket all around the
glass top edge as shown in diagram 4.

Electrical connections
Any electrical work required to install this hob
should be carried out by a qualified electrician or
competent person, in accordance with the current
regulations.
THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.
The manufacturer dec ines any iabi ity shou d these
safety measures not be observed.
This hob is designed to be connected to a 230-240V
50Hz AC e ectrica supp y.
Before switching on, make sure the electricity supply
oltage 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 co er of this book.
The hob is supplied with a 3 core flexible supply cord
incorporating a 3amp plug fitted. In the e ent of ha ing
to change the fuse, a 3amp ASTA appro ed (BS 1362)
fuse must be used.
Should the plug need to be replaced for any reason, the
wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with
the following code:
Green and Yellow - Earth
Blue - Neutral
Brown - Li e
 Connect the green and yellow (earth) wire to
the terminal in the plug which is marked with
the letter 'E' or the earth symbol or coloured
green and yellow.
 Connect the blue (neutral) wire to the terminal
in the plug which is marked with the letter 'N'
or coloured black.
 Connect the brown (li e) wire to the terminal
in the plug which is marked with the letter 'L'
or coloured red.
Upon completion there must be no cut, or stray strands
of wire present and the cord clamp must be secure o er
the outer sheath.
A cut off plug inserted into a 13 amp socket is
a serious safety (shock) hazard. Ensure that
the cut off plug is disposed of safely.
ermanent Connection
In the case of a permanent connection, it is necessary
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.
The switch must not break the yellow and green earth
cable at any point.
Ensure that the hob supply cord does not
come into contact with surfaces with
temperatures higher than 50 deg. C.
