Operation - AEG 21604 G Operating And Installation Instructions

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.

Operation

HOB BURNERS
To light a burner, turn the relevant control knob anticlockwise to the 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
Large (rapid)
Medium (semi-rapid)
Small (Auxiliary)
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.
