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.
