Hob Burners
To light a burner:
zTurn the relevant knob anticlockwise to maximum
position and push down the knob to ignite.
zAfter lighting the flame, keep the knob pushed down
for about 5 seconds. This will allow the
"thermocouple" (Fig. 1 - lett. D) to be heated and
the safety device to be switched off, otherwise the
gas supply would be interrupted. Then, check the
flame is regular and adjust it as required.
If you cannot light the flame even after several attempts,
check the "cap" (Fig. 1 - lett. A) and “crown” (Fig. 1 -
lett. B) are in the correct position.
To put the flame out, turn the knob to the symbol .
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.
When switching on the mains, after installation or a power cut, it is quite normal
for the spark generator to be activated automatically.
Operation
INSTALLATION
Any gas installation must be carried out by qualified personnel, and in
accordance with existing rules and regulations.
The relevant instructions are to be found in the second section of this manual.
Please, ensure that, once the hob is installed, it is easily accessible for the
engineer in the event of a breakdown.
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.

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.
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.
If the control knobs become difficult to turn, please contact your local Service
Force Centre.
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.
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 beside).

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 pan supports
To ensure a better cleaning, pan supports can be removed from the hob (Fig. 2).
Pay attention when placing the
pan supports back on their
position, in order to avoid
scratching the glass hob top.
Thepansupports arenotdishwasher
proof; they must be washed by hand.
Take care when drying them as the
enamellingprocessoccasionallyleaves
rough edges. If necessary, remove
stubbornstainsusingapaste cleaner.
After cleaning, make sure that the pan
supportsarecorrectlypositioned.
The hob top
Regularly wipe over the hob top using a soft clothwell wrung out in warm water to which
a little wasingup liquid has been added.
Avoid the use of thefollowing:
- household detergent and bleaches;
- impregnated pads unsuitable for non-sticksaucepans;
- steel wool pads;
- bath/sink stain removers.
If scratches or cracks are noticed, disconnect the appliance from the
electrical supply to avoid the risk of electric shock and call your nearest
Service Force Centre.
Keep all objects and materials which can melt away from the cooking surface,
e.g. plastics, aluminium foil.
Maintenance and Cleaning
Fig. 2

electrolux 11
The burners
The burner caps and crowns can be removed for cleaning.
Wash the burners taps 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.
Ignition electrode
The electric ignition is obtained through a ceramic "electrode" and a metal electrode
(Fig. 1 - letter C). Keep these components well clean, to avoid difficult lighting, and
check that the burner crown holes are not obstructed.
Periodic maintenance
Periodically ask your local Service Centre to check the conditions of the gas supply pipe
and the pressure adjuster, if fitted.

according to the rules in force. The flexible pipe must be tightly fixed using clamps according to the rules
in force.
Use the rubber pipe holder «D». Always insert the gasket «B» (Fig.3). Then proceed with the gas
connection. The flexible pipe should be made ready for use in such a way that:
- nowhere it can reach overtemperature, other than room temperature, higher than 30°C;
- it is no longer than 1500 mm;
- it shows no throttles;
- it is not subject to traction or torsion;
- it doesn't get in touch with cutting edges or corners;
- it can be easily inspected in order to check its condition.
The control of preservation of the flexible pipe consistsin
checking that:
- it doesn't show cracks, cuts, marks of burnings bothon
the end parts and on its full extent;
- the material is not hardened, but shows its normal
elasticity;
- the fastening clamps are not rusted;
- expiry term is not due.
If one or more abnormalities are seen, do not repair the
