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.

2. Rapid Burner
3. Semi-rapid Burner
4. Auxiliary Burner

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. 2 - 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)areinthecorrectposition.
Toputtheflameout,turntheknobtothesymbol
.
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
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
itthe “off”position andwait forat leastone minutebefore tryingtolight theburner
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.
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.
Using the hob correctly
To ensure maximum burner efficiency, it is strongly recommended that you use only pots
andpanswitha flatbottomfitting thesizeof theburner used,sothat flamewill notspread
beyond the bottom of the vessel (see the table beside).

10 electrolux
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.

Periodic maintenance
Periodically ask your local Service Centre to check the conditions of the gas supply pipe
and the pressure adjuster, if fitted.
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.

Installation
IMPORTANT
This hob must be installed by a competent person to the relevant Gas
Standards.
Any gas installation must be carried out by a registered competent person.
The manufacturer will not accept liability, should the above instructions or any of the
other safety instructions incorporated in this book be ignored.
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.
A) End of shaft with nut
B) Washer
C) Elbow
FO 0264
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.
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.

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 HOB MUST BE EARTHED..
..
.
The manufacturer declines any liability should these safety measures not
be observed.
This hob is designed to be connected to a 230 V 50 Hz 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 3
amp plug fitted. In the event of having to change the fuse, a 3 amp 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
1) 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.
2) Connect the blue (neutral) wire to the
terminal in the plug which is marked
with the letter 'N' or coloured black.
3) 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.
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.
