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.
As soon as a liquid starts boiling, turn down the
flame so that it will barely keep the liquid
simmering.
Take care when frying food in hot oil or fat,
as the overheated splashes could easily
ignite.
If the control knobs become difficult to turn,
please contact your local Electrolux Service
Centre.
FTo light a burner:
lpush the electric ignition pushbutton which is marked
by a little spark;
lat the same time turn the relevant control knob
anticlockwise to maximum position;
lthen adjust the flame as required.
If the burner does not ignite, turn the control knob to
zero, and try again.
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).
Hob Burners
Maintenance and Cleaning
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 To
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 Su orts
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 necessay, 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.

Important safety requirements
This hob must be installed in accordance with the Gas
Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations (Current
Edition) and the IEE Wiring Regulations (Current
Edition).
Detailed recommendations are contained in the
following British Standards Codes Of Practice: B.S.
6172/ B.S. 5440, Part 2 and B.S. 6891 Current Editions.
The hob should not be installed in a bed sitting room
with a volume of less than 20 m3. If it is installed in a
room of volume less than 5 m3 an air vent of effective
area of 110 cm2 is required. If it is installed in a room of
volume between 5 m3 and 10 m3 an air vent of effective
area of 50 cm2 is required, while if the volume exceeds
11 m3 no air vent is required.
However, if the room has a door which opens directly
to the outside no air vent is required even if the volu-
me is between 5 m3 and 11 m3.
If there are other fuel burning appliances in the same
room, B.S. 5440 Part 2 Current Edition, should be
consulted to determine the requisite air vent
requirements.
Location
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 have a minimum distance of 55 mm.
between the edge of the hob and the wall.
The minimum distance combustible material can be
fitted above 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 above 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 relevant British Standards.
Any gas installation must be carried out by a
registered CORGI installer.
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.
On the end of the shaft, which includes the GJ 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
excessive force.

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 cau-
se leakage of gas.
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
RC 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.
Cut Out Size
The dimensions of the cut-out are given in the
diagram.
Building In
Building over a cu board or
drawer
If the hob is to be installed above 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 avoid 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
removable to allow easy access if technical
assistance is needed. The space behind the kitchen
unit ("b") can be used for 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 HOB MUST BE EARTHED.
The anufacturer declines any liability should these
safety easures not be observed.
This hob is designed to be connected to a 230-240V
50Hz AC electrical supply.
Before switching on, make sure the electricity supply
voltage 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 cover of this book.
The hob is supplied with a 3 core flexible supply cord
incorporating a 3amp plug fitted. In the event of having
to change the fuse, a 3amp ASTA approved (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 - Live
 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 (live) 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
over the outer sheath.
Permanent 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
co e into contact with surfaces with
te peratures higher than 50 deg. C.
A cut off plug inserted into a 13 a p socket
is a serious safety (shock) hazard. Ensure
that the cut off plug is disposed of safely.
