Electrolux Gas Hobs - Instruction Booklet

Installation

• This hob must be installed by qualified personnel, according to the manufacturer's instructions and relevant British Standards.
• Any gas installation must be carried out by a registered CORGI installer.
• Remove all packaging before using the hob.
• Ensure that the gas and electrical supply complies with the type stated on the rating plate, located near the gas supply pipe.
• Do not attempt to modify the hob in any way.

Child Safety

• This hob is designed to be operated by adults. Do not allow children to play near or with the hob.
• The hob gets hot when it is in use.
• Children should be kept away until it has cooled.
• Children can also injure themselves by pulling pans or pots off the hob.

During Use

• This hob is intended for domestic cooking only. It is not designed for commercial or industrial purposes.
• When in use, a gas cooking appliance will produce heat and moisture. Ensure continuous air supply, keeping air vents in good condition or installing a cooker hood with a venting hose.
• When using the hob for a long period, improve ventilation by opening a window or increasing extractor speed.
• Do not use this hob if it is in contact with water.
• Do not operate the hob with wet hands.
• Ensure control knobs are in the 'OFF' position when not in use.
• When using other electrical appliances, ensure cables do not contact hot surfaces.
• Unstable or misshapen pans should not be used as they can cause accidents by tipping or spillage.
• Never leave the hob unattended when cooking with oil and fats.
• Never use plastic or aluminium foil dishes on the hob.
• Perishable food, plastic items, and aerosols may be affected by heat and should not be stored above or below the hob unit.

Service

• This hob should only be repaired or serviced by an authorised Service Engineer using genuine approved spare parts.

Environmental Information

• After installation, dispose of packaging with due regard to safety and the environment.
• When disposing of an old appliance, make it unusable by cutting off the cable.

Keep this instruction book for future reference and ensure it is passed on to any new owner.

Operation

Hob Burners

To light a burner:

• Push the electric ignition pushbutton (marked with a small spark symbol).
• At the same time, turn the relevant control knob anticlockwise to the maximum position.
• Then adjust the flame as required.

If the burner does not ignite, turn the control knob to zero and try again.

For maximum burner efficiency, use pots and pans with a flat bottom fitting the size of the burner used:

Note: Using a saucepan smaller than the recommended size will cause the flame to spread beyond the vessel's bottom, potentially overheating the handle.

As soon as a liquid starts boiling, turn down the flame to barely keep the liquid simmering.

Take care when frying food in hot oil or fat, as overheated splashes could easily ignite.

If the control knobs become difficult to turn, please contact your local Electrolux Service Centre.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Before any maintenance or cleaning, you MUST DISCONNECT the hob from the electricity supply.

The hob is best cleaned whilst still warm, as spillage is easier to remove.

Something Not Working?

If the hob is not working correctly, perform these checks before contacting your local Service Force Centre. A charge may apply if an engineer is called out for faults caused by incorrect use or installation, even if under guarantee.

If the hob still does not operate correctly after these checks, contact your local Service Force Centre. Please provide proof of purchase for any in-guarantee service calls.

In-guarantee customers must ensure these checks are made, as the engineer will charge if the fault is not a mechanical or electrical breakdown.

Important Safety Requirements

This hob must be installed in accordance with the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations (Current Edition) and the IEE Wiring Regulations (Current Edition). Detailed recommendations are contained in British Standards Codes Of Practice: B.S. 6172/B.S. 5440, Part 2 and B.S. 6891 Current Editions.

The hob should not be installed in a bed-sitting room with a volume of less than 20 m³. If installed in a room with volume less than 5 m³, an air vent of 110 cm² is required. For volumes between 5 m³ and 10 m³, an air vent of 50 cm² is required. If the volume exceeds 11 m³, no air vent is required.

If the room has a door opening directly to the outside, no air vent is required even if the volume is between 5 m³ and 11 m³.

Consult B.S. 5440 Part 2 Current Edition for air vent requirements if other fuel-burning appliances are in the same room.

Building In

Gas Connection

Connect to the gas supply using rigid or semi-rigid pipe (steel or copper). The connection must be suitable for RC 1/2 (1/2 BSP male thread). Perform a thorough leak test after final connection. Ensure the main connection pipe does not strain the hob.

Install the elbow correctly, with the shoulder on the thread fitted to the hob connecting pipe. Incorrect assembly can cause gas leakage.

Diagrams: Show connection components (A, B, C) and the correct elbow installation.

Electrical Connections

Any electrical work must be carried out by a qualified electrician or competent person, following current regulations.

THIS HOB MUST BE EARTHED. The manufacturer is not liable for failure to observe these safety measures.

The hob is designed for a 230-240V 50Hz AC supply. Verify the supply voltage matches the rating plate (located on the hob's bottom).

The hob is supplied with a 3-core flexible cord and a 3amp plug. Use a 3amp ASTA approved (BS 1362) fuse if replacing the fuse.

Replacing the Plug:

• Connect the Green and Yellow (earth) wire to the terminal marked 'E' or the earth symbol.
• Connect the Blue (neutral) wire to the terminal marked 'N'.
• Connect the Brown (live) wire to the terminal marked 'L'.

Ensure no stray wires are present and the cord clamp is secure over the outer sheath.

WARNING: A cut-off plug inserted into a 13 amp socket is a serious safety hazard. Dispose of cut-off plugs safely.

Wiring Diagram

Diagram: Shows the wiring connections for the ignitor switch (A) and ignitor unit (B), with terminals 1-6 and connections to L (Live) and N (Neutral).

Fault Finding

Preliminary Electrical Systems Check

START: Isolate appliance and carry out:

1. A: Earth Continuity check: Test leads from any appliance earth point to the earth pin on the plug. Resistance should be less than 0.1 Ω (Ohm). Check all earth wires and contacts.

If check A is NO:

• Carry out C: Polarity check.
• Carry out D: Resistance to Earth check.

If check A is YES:

• Check if the inlet fuse has blown.
• If NO: Inlet wiring is faulty. Rectify any fault.
• If YES: Isolate appliance and carry out B: Insulation check. Rectify any fault, including replacing fuses.

B. INSULATION CHECK: Appliance electrically disconnected, all switches ON.

• Set meter to Ω (Ohms) x 1 scale. Test leads from L to N. If meter reads <<0>>, there is a short circuit.
• Set meter to Ω (Ohm) x 100 scale. Repeat test with leads from L to E. If meter reads less than ∞ (infinity), there is a fault.

C. Polarity check

D. Resistance to Earth check

Diagrams: Illustrate plug and socket views for checks, and a basic flowchart for electrical checks.

NOTE: If a fuse fails without an indicated fault, a detailed continuity check of components is required to trace the faulty part. Visual inspection may reveal burning/arcing.

Ignition System / Gas Ignition

Ignitor does not spark

• NO:
• Check plug top fuse and replace if necessary.
• Check polarity and earth continuity of supply point.
• Check earth continuity of appliance.
• Check continuity from 'N' on the mains connector block and 'O' on the ignitor unit.
• Check continuity from 'L' on the mains connector block and the taps ignition switches.
• Check continuity from ignition switches connector to ignitor unit.
• YES:
• Check gas supply at burner.
• Light burner manually.
• Check by-pass simmer adjustment.
• Check position of the electrode.
• Check continuity from the tip of each electrode to terminals 1 to 4 on the ignitor unit.
• Check fitting of burners.
• Check for breaks in the insulation of the HT leads.
• Change the taps ignition switches.
• Change the ignitor unit.

Diagram: Flowchart for troubleshooting ignition system issues.

Commissioning

After full installation, check the minimum flame setting:

1. Turn the gas tap to MAX position and ignite.
2. Set the gas tap to MIN flame position, then turn the control knob from MIN to MAX several times. If the flame is unstable or extinguishes, follow the procedure below.

Conversion from Natural Gas to LPG

This model is designed for natural gas but can be converted for butane or propane gas by fitting the correct injectors and adjusting the gas rate.
