After lighting the flame, keep the knob
pushed down for about 5 seconds. This
will allow the "thermocouple" (Fig. 2 - lett.
D) to be heated and the safety device to
be switched off, otherwise the gas supply
would be interrupted.
Then adjust the flame as required.
If the burner does not ignite, turn the
control knob to off position, 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.
If you cannot light the flame even
after several attempts, check the
"cap" and “crown” are in the
correct position.
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.
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.
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.
If the control knobs become difficult to turn, please contact your
local Service Force Centre.

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.
The stainless steel can become tarnished if excessively
heated. Therefore 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.
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 below).

electrolux 11
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 Hob Top
Regularly wipe over the hob top using a soft cloth well wrung out in warm water
to which a little wasing 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, the following products are
recommended:
- For stainless steel hobs use a proprietary stainless steel cleaner.
- For other hobs use Hob Brite or Bar Keepers Friend.
Do not leave acid or alkaline substances (e.g. vinegar, salt,
lemon juice, etc.) on the cooktop.
Pan Supports
The pan supports are not dishwasher proof; they MUST be washed
by hand. After cleaning make sure that the pan supports are correctly
positioned.
Wash the pan supports using hot soapy water. If necessary, a paste cleaner
or a soap impregnated steelwool pad can be used with caution.
After cleaning, be sure to wipe dry with a soft cloth.
Take care when drying them as the enamelling process occasionally leaves
rough edges.
To make burners work properly, ensure that pan supports are placed
in a way that the arms are centred upon the burner.
Pay attention when replacing the pan supports in order to
avoid damaging the hob top.
Maintenance and Cleaning

12 electrolux
The Burners
The burner caps and crowns can be removed for cleaning.
Wash the burners 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.
The Ignition electrode
The electric ignition is obtained through a ceramic electrode which
contains a metal electrode (Page 9 - Fig. 2 - C). Keep these components
very clean, to avoid difficult lighting, and check that the burner crown holes
(Page 9 - Fig. 2 - B) are not obstructed.
