AEG 856001 G (01) PDF SUMMARY:

How do I light a hob burner?

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.

What should I do if the burner does not ignite?

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

Is it normal for the spark generator to activate automatically when I switch on the mains after installation or a power cut?

Yes, it is quite normal for the spark generator to be activated automatically when switching on the mains, after installation or a power cut.

What size pots and pans should I use to ensure maximum burner efficiency?

To ensure maximum burner efficiency, you should only use pots and pans with a flat bottom fitting the size of the burner used.

What are the minimum and maximum diameters of pots and pans for each burner?

• Burner | Minimum diameter | Maximum diameter
  • Large (rapid) | 160 mm | 240 mm
  • Medium (semi-rapid) | 120 mm | 220 mm
  • Small (Auxiliary) | 80 mm | 160 mm

What should I do as soon as a liquid starts boiling?

As soon as a liquid starts boiling, turn down the flame so that it will barely keep the liquid simmering.

What happens if I use a saucepan smaller than the recommended size?

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.

What precautions should I take when frying food in hot oil or fat?

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

What should I do if the control knobs become difficult to turn?

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

What is the first step before any maintenance or cleaning can be carried out?

Before any maintenance or cleaning can be carried out, you must DISCONNECT the hob from the electricity supply.

When is the best time to clean the hob?

The hob is best cleaned whilst it is still warm, as spillage can be removed more easily than if it is left to cool.

How do I clean the hob top?

Regularly wipe over the hob top using a soft cloth well wrung out in warm water to which a little washing up liquid has been added.

What cleaning agents should I avoid using on the hob top?

Avoid the use of the following:

• household detergent and bleaches;
• impregnated pads unsuitable for non-stick saucepans;
• steel wool pads;
• bath/sink stain removers.

What cleaning product is recommended for a heavily soiled hob top?

Should the hob top become heavily soiled, it is recommended that a cleaning product such as Hob Brite or Bar Keepers Friend is used.

Are the pan supports dishwasher proof?

Yes, the pan supports are dishwasher proof.

What precautions should I take when washing the pan supports by hand?

If washing them by hand, take care when drying them as the enamelling process occasionally leaves rough edges. If necessary, remove stubborn stains using a paste cleaner.

Can the burner caps and crowns be removed for cleaning?

Yes, the burner caps and crowns can be removed for cleaning.

How do I clean the burner caps and crowns?

Wash the burners taps and crowns using hot soapy water, and remove marks with a mild paste cleaner. A well moistened soap impregnated steel wool pad can be used with caution, if the marks are particularly difficult to remove.

What should I do after cleaning the burner caps and crowns?

After cleaning, be sure to wipe dry with a soft cloth.

What should I do if there is no spark when lighting the gas?

• Check that the unit is plugged in and the electrical supply is switched on.
• Check that the RCCB has not tripped (if fitted).
• Check the mains fuse has not blown.
• Check the burner cap and crown have been replaced correctly, e.g. after cleaning.

What should I do if the gas ring burns unevenly?

• Check the main jet is not blocked and the burner crown is clear of food particles.
• Check the burner cap and crown have been replaced correctly, e.g. after cleaning.

Who should I contact if the hob still does not operate correctly after carrying out the checks?

How do you perform an Earth Continuity Check?

Appliance must be electrically disconnected – meter set on Ω (Ohms) x 1 scale and adjust zero if necessary. — Test leads from any appliance earth point to earth pin on plug. Resistance should be less than 0.1 Ω (Ohm), check all earth wires for continuity and all contacts clean and tight.

How do you perform an Insulation Check?

Appliance electrically disconnected, all switches ON. a) meter set on Ω (Ohms) x 1 scale. Test leads from L to N in appliance terminal block. If meter reads «0» then there is a short circuit. b) meter set on Ω (Ohm) x 100 scale. Repeat test with leads from L to E. If meter reads less than ∞ (infinity) there is a fault.

What should you do if it is found that the fuse has failed but no fault is indicated?

NOTE – Should it be found that the fuse has failed but no fault is indicated – a detailed continuity check (i.e. by disconnecting and checking each component) is required to trace the faulty component.

What should you do if a fault could occur as a result of local burning/arcing but no fault could be found under test?

However, a detailed visual inspection should reveal evidence of burning around the fault.

If the ignitor does not spark, what should you do?

Check plug top fuse and replace if necessary. Check polarity and earth continuity of supply point. Check earth continuity of appliance. Check fitting of burners. Check position of the electrode. Check bypass simmer adjusted.

If you have checked the items in the previous question and the ignitor still does not spark, what should you do?

Check gas supply at burner. Ignition System / Gas Ignition. Light burner manually. 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. Check continuity from the tip of each electrode to the terminals 1 to 4 on the ignitor unit. Check for breaks in the insulation of the HT leads.

If after performing the previous checks there is still a problem, what should you do?

Change the ignitor unit. Change the taps ignition switches.

After the hob has been fully installed, what should you check?

When the hob has been fully installed it will be necessary to check the minimum flame setting.

How do you check the minimum flame setting?

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

If the flame is unstable or extinguished when checking the minimum flame setting, what should you do?

Procedure:

1. Re-ignite the burner and set to MIN.
2. Remove the control knob.
3. The adjustment screw is located down the centre of the gas tap control shaft.

How do you adjust the flame?

To adjust, use a thin-bladed screwdriver and turn the adjustment screw until the flame is steady and does not extinguish, when the knob is turned from MIN to MAX. Repeat this procedure for all burners.

How do you pressure test the hob?

1. Remove the left-hand pan support and front left burner cap and crown.
2. Fit manometer tube over the injector.
3. Turn on the burner gas supply and ignite another burner supply. The pressure reading should be nominally 20mbar and must be between 17 mbar and 25mbar.
4. Turn off the burner supplies.
