Operation

Hob burners control knobs

The symbols on the knobs mean that :

there is no gas supply

there is maximum gas supply

there is minimum gas supply

Lighting the burners

For easier lighting, proceed before putting a pan on the pan support.

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

In the event of a power failure the burners can still be lit using a match or

battery operated sparker. In this case, put a lit match or sparker to the

desired burner. Push the relevant control knob down and turn it anti-clockwise

until it reaches the "maximum" position. The burner should now light.

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.

Using the Wok Stand

A wok stand is provided to enable you to use

a round bottomed wok on the hob. The wok

stand must only be used on the central burner,

and should not be used with any other type of

wok or pan. When fitting the wok stand, ensure

the recesses in the frame fit securely onto the

bars of the pan supports, as shown in the

diagram.
