Hob burners
To light a burner:
l 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.
l 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

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.
