ELECTRIC HOTPLATES
To switch on a hotplate, turn the relevant control knob anticlockwise
to the required heat setting.
The control knob is numbered 1 - 3
0 - OFF
1 - Minimum
3 - Maximum.
The hob has four rapid hotplates. The rapid hotplates are indicated by
a red dot, and will heat up more quickly than a normal plate. As the
red dots are painted on the plate, they may deteriorate during use and
even disappear completely after a period of time. This will not affect
the performance of the hob.
It is important to note that the plate may smoke a little and produce a
slightly unpleasant odour when used for the first time. This is quite
normal and will disappear after a few minutes.
Suggestions for the correct setting of the plates are given in the
following table.
OFF 0
Very Gentle •To keep food warm - To melt butter and
chocolate
Gentle 1To prepare cream-sauces, stews and milk
puddings or to fry eggs
Slow •Dried vegetables, frozen food, fruit, boling
water or milk
Medium 2Boiled potatoes, fresh vegetables, pâtés, soups,
broths, pancakes or fish
High •Larger stews, meat roll, fish,
omelettes, steaks
Fast 3Steaks, escalopes and frying.

iHints and Tips
Saucepans for use on solid plates should have several characteristics:
●They should be fairly heavy
duty
●They should fit the heat area
exactly, or be slightly larger
for efficient use, NEVER
smaller.
●They should have a flat base to
ensure good contact with the
plate.
This is particularly important
when using pans for high
temperature frying or pressure
cooking.
As soon as liquid starts boiling, turn down the plate control knob so
that it will barely keep the liquid simmering.
You can switch off the plate a short while before you finish cooking,
and the final stage will be completed on the accumulated heat.
Similarly, stews etc. cooked in well covered saucepans cook at lower
temperature which is more economical.
Ensure pans are large enough to avoid liquids being split onto the
plates.
Never leave the plates on without a pan on them or with an empty
pan on them.
Take care never to lean or reach over a hot electric plate. Always point
pan handles inward or over the work surface next to the hob to avoid
accidentally knocking over a pan as you pass by.
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 Centre.

Before any maintenance or cleaning can be carried out, you must
DISCONNECT the hob from the electricity supply.
The hob is best cleaned whilst it is still warm, as spillage can be
removed more easily than if it is left to cool.
The Hob Top
Regularly wipe over the hob top using a soft cloth well wrung out in
warm water to which a little wasing up liquid has been added. Avoid
the use of the following:
- household detergent and bleaches;
- impregnated pads unsuitable for non-stick saucepans;
- steel wool pads;
- bath/sink stain removers.
Should the hob top become heavily soiled, it is recommended that a
cleaning product such as Hob Brite or Bar Keepers Friend is used.
The Hotplates
Spills onto the actual plate should be removed using warm water and
a soft brush, nylon or plastic scourer. To keep the plates looking as
new, hotplate conditioner can be purchased from most hardware
stores, e.g. "4 Hob" by HomeCare Products (follow the manufacturer's
instruction for use).
Alternatively, wipe the plates with a drop of olive oil on a kitchen
towel to avoid rust. It is important to note that the plate will smoke a
little and produce a slightly unpleasant odour when next used.

Something Not Working?
If the hob is not working correctly, please carry out the following checks
before contacting your local AEG Service Force Centre.
SYMPTOM
■The plate does not heat up.
■The plate is not giving
satisfactory results
SOLUTION
◆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 correct control knob
has been turned.
◆Check the plate is clean and dry
◆Check the cooking pan is the
correct size for the plate.
◆Check the cooking pan has a flat
bottom
◆Check the setting is correct for
the type of cooking.
If after all these checks, your hob still does not operate correctly, contact
your local AEG Service Force Centre.
Please note that it will be necessary to provide proof of purchase for any
in-guarantee service calls.
In-guarantee customers should ensure that the above checks have been
made as the engineer will make a charge if the fault is not a mechanical
or electrical breakdown.
