HOB BURNERS

To light a burner, turn the relevant control knob anticlockwise to

the maximum position ( ), then push it down to ignite the

burner. Upon, ignition, 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).

Double-crown 180 mm. 260 mm.

Large (rapid) 180 mm. 260 mm.

Medium (semi-rapid) 120 mm. 220 mm.

Small (Auxiliary) 80 mm. 160 mm.

Operation

As soon as a liquid starts boiling, turn down the flame so that it will

barely keep the liquid simmering.

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.

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

AEG Service Force Centre.
