Operation
HOB BURNERS
To light a burner, turn the relevant knob anticlockwise to maximum position and push down the knob to ignite.
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) | 160 mm. | 240 mm. |
Medium | 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 vessel, 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.
