Cleaning And Maintenance - Electrolux EHGT326X Instruction Booklet

If you cannot light the flame even after several
attempts, check the "cap" (Fig. 1 lett. A) and the
"crown" (Fig. 1 lett. B) are in the correct position.
To put the flame out, turn the knob to the symbol .
In the absence of electricity, ignition can occur
without the electrical device; in this case approach
the burner with a flame, push the relevant knob
down and turn it anti-clockwise until it reaches the
"maximum" position.
Always turn the flame down or put it out before
taking the pans off the burner.
Carefully supervise cookings with fats or oil, since
these types of foodstuff can result in a fire, if over-
heated.
Energy saving advices
To ensure maximum burner efficiency, it is strongly
recommended that you use only pots and pans with a
bottom fitting the size of the burner used, so that flame will
not spread beyond the bottom of the vessel (see the table
beside).
It is also advisable, as soon as a liquid starts boiling, to
turn down the flame so that it will barely keep the liquid
simmering.
• Use only pans or pots with flat bottom.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Disconnect the appliance from the electrical
supply, before carrying out any cleaning or
manteinance work.
This appliance cannot be cleaned with steam
or with a steam cleaning machine.
Wash the enamelled components with warm soapy
water. Never use abrasive cleaners
Frequently wash the "caps" and the "crowns" with hot
soapy water, carefully taking away any built-up of food.
Carefully wash the stainless steel components with
water, then wipe them dry with a soft cloth.
The pan supports are dishwasher proof.
If the marks are particularly difficult to remove, use
common non-abrasive cleaners or specific products.
Never use steel wool pads or acids.
In models provided with electric ignition, this feature is
obtained through a ceramic "candle" and a metal
electrode (Fig. 1 lett. C). Keep these components well
clean, to avoid difficult lighting, and check that the burner
crown holes (lett. B) are not obstructed.

Periodic maintenance
Periodically ask your local Service Centre to check the
conditions of the gas supply pipe and the pressure
adjuster, if fitted.
To ensure the good operation of the hob and its safety
features, it is necessary that the taps are periodically
lubricated.
The periodic lubrication of the taps must be
carried out by qualified personnel, which you
must refer to also in case of malfunctioning.
