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).

Operation
i
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.
