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.

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.
