Operation
Hob burners
To light a burner, push in and turn the relevant
control knob anticlockwise to maximum position.
At the same time push the electric ignition button
which is marked with a little spark. Then adjust
the flame as required.
If the burner does not ignite, turn the control knob
to zero, and try again.
When switching on the mains, after
installation or a power cut, it is quite
normal for the spark generator to be
activated automatically.
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.
If you use a saucepan which is smaller
than the recommended size, the flame
will spread beyond the bottom of the
pan, 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.
