Important to know
Service and repair may only be
performed by the distributor, or by a
service organization approved by the
distributor. Only repair parts deliverde
by the distributor may be used.
Please read the warranty.
Avoid pinching the cable.
The hob unit is intended for ordinary
household cooking purposes. Any
other use can result in damage to the
unit as well as personal injury.
Use only pots and pans with a rigid
even contact surface - unever contact
surface results not only in poor heat
conduction, but also increases the risk
of dangerous spills.
During deep-fat frying, sauteèing, the
melting of butter, ect., one must always
remain near the unit, due to the danger
of fire. In the event of fire the unit
must be shut off immediately (and the
cooker hood as well, if in use).
Make sure that the unit is shut off
when not in use - the knob should rest
at “0”.
The unit as well as pots and pans
become dangerrously hot during use,
and remain so for a period of time.
They should therfore be treated with
due respect. Keep children at a
distance.
Never place plastic or paper, ect., on
the unit. If the unit should be switched
on by accident, the paper could burn,
plastic melt, ect.
For hygienic and safety reasons the
unit must be kept clean. Grease, oil
and food spills create unpleassant
odours when burnt, and can in some
cases result in open flames.
Read - and adhere to - the user`s
instructions, as well as any instructions
and warnings printed on the labels of
the cleaning agents used.
Help to avoid accidents; if the hob unit
should ever be discarded, render it
useless by removing the cable, or by
cutting the cable as close to the unit as
possible.
Product liability
Our liability is limited to that which is
stipulated by law, and covers only
damage to persons and property, which
results from defects in materials and
workmanship of the unit itself.
This liability extends for a period of 10
years from the date of purchase as a
factory-new unit.

4
Reservations
Our liability does not apply in the
event that the damage in question is
due to any of the following conditions:
The unit has not been installed in
accordance with the instructions set
forth in this pamphlet.
That the safety rules in the instructions
have not been complied with.
That repair has been made by others
than an authorised service technician.
The unoriginal spare parts have been
used.
That the damage is caused by transport
at a later date, for instance during
removal or resale.
That the damage is caused by any form
of use contrary to common sense.
Areas if use
The hob is only intended for normal
household use. It is important that you
follow the advice given in these
instructions in order to avoid any risk
of damage to persons and objects.
Used for any other purpose invalidates
the guarantee as well as product
liability.
Positioning
It is advisable to place the unit near an
out-of-the-way, or closed, corner, with
space on either side on which to rest
hot cooking utensils. The unit should
not be placed at a heavily-trafficked or
open corner, nor in a passageway.
Unpacking
Check to see whether the unit is
damaged.
Distribution damages
Any damages due to transportation by
us or by our representative must be
reported to the dealer not later than
one week after receipt of the unit.
Installation
Electrical installation must be
performed by an authorized electric
company. Electrical installation by a
novice can result in damage to persons
or to the unit.
Electrical parts must not be tampered
with.
Remember to use the mounting
instructions as illustrated. Electrolux is
not responsible for errors in the cut-out
if the mounting instructions are not
followed, or if they are applied in an
incorrect manner.

Maintenance and cleaning
Use the correct cooking
utensils
Extend the life of the hot-plates and
use the electricity to maximum effect
by using correct, good quality cooking
utensils.
The cooking utensils should be
designated for use on electric cookers.
The utensils should have flat bottoms.
Ensure theat the hot-plates and the
cooking utensils are completely dry
before the utensils are placed on the
hot-plates.
Cleaning of the operating
parts and other surfaces
All surfaces apart from the hot-plates
themselves are cleaned normally with
warm water containing washingup
liquid, liquid Ajax or similar.
The hot plates are cleaned as described
on page 5.
Never use:
Scouring pads, scouring powder, or
other harsh cleaning products on the
stainless steel parts
When using
Avoid boiling over. Salt water always
causes rust. Use larger saucepans or
less water.

7
After use
Daily cleaning is done with a well
wrungout cloth.
Extra dirty surfaces can be cleaned by
using a plastic sponge with a normal
cleaning product.
After cleaning, the hotplates should be
switched on for a moment until they
are fully dry.
Clean between the bright metal ring
and the hot-plate extra carefully.
If you use hot-plate covers, both these
and the hot-plates should be
completely dry before the covers are
replaced.
Cleaning of the hot plates
Remove solidified food or other
spillage from the plates as soon as
possible. A dirty plate reduces the heat
transmission between the plate and the
cooking utensils.
1. For normal maintenance, wipe the
plates with a damp sponge or cloth.
If necessary add some detergent to
the water. Subsequently dry the
plates by short heat-up.
2. Remove heavily burnt-in spillage
with a glass-ceramic scraper, by
using the flat blade. Then clean the
area with liquid cleaner (ATA,
VISS, AJAX, VIM). Rinse the plate
with clear water. Dry the plate as
described at item 1.
3. Spillage or stains that remains after
the described cleaning (item 1 and
2) can be burnt-off. Clean one plate
at a time.
3a. Switch on the plate to maximum
heat for 6-8 minutes. For safety
reasons only do this when the
plate is under control.
3b. Let the plate cool off.
Afterwards wipe off the plate
with a damp cloth.
If you use hot-plate covers, both these
and the hot-plates should be
completely dry before the covers are
replaced.

The hob unit can be mounted in any
type of kitchen with a table surface
whose thickness is between 28 mm and
40 mm.
Clearance
The distance between the top side of the

extent that they can be turned in under
the table top. Tighten the brackets on to
the table top with an ordinary
screwdriver.

flanges at each end, is included with
each two-burner unit. For unit
combinations, a reinforcement beam

Installation of a single unit

which is thicker than 30 mm, it is
necessary to make a special notch in
both sides of the cut-out hole, as
shown in the adjacent drawing.
The purpose of these notches is to
create space for the electrical cables.

that the cover always remains open
while the unit is operating (operation
