Operation
Hob Burners
To light a burner:
Mod. EHG 673
l push the electric ignition pushbutton which is marked
by a little spark;
l at the same time turn the relevant control knob
anticlockwise to maximum position;
l then 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).
Burner minimum maximum
diameter diameter
Large (rapid) 180 mm. 260 mm.
Medium (semi-rapid) 120 mm. 220 mm.
Small (auxiliary) 80 mm. 160 mm.
Maintenance and Cleaning
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.
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 Top
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, 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.
Pan Supports
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.
To light a burner:
Mod. EHG 691
l push in the relevant control knob and turn it
anticlockwise to maximum position.
l Upon ignition, keep the knob pushed down for about
5 seconds. This will allow the "thermocouple" (see
diagram) to be heated and the safety device to be
switched off, otherwise the gas supply would be
interrupted.
l Then adjust the flame as required.
l If the burner does not ignite, turn the control knob to
zero, and try again.
