Need help?Do you have a question about the AEG HG755450 and is the answer not in the manual?
This document is a user manual for an AEG hob, specifically models HG755450 and HG75SY5450. It provides comprehensive instructions for installation, safe operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting to ensure optimal performance and longevity of the appliance.
The hob is designed for domestic cooking purposes and features multiple gas burners, including a Triple Crown burner, Rapid burners, Semi-rapid burners, and an Auxiliary burner, each controlled by a dedicated knob. The control knobs allow for precise regulation of the gas supply, from an off position to minimum and maximum gas supply settings, and include an ignition position for lighting the burners. The appliance is equipped with a thermocouple safety device that interrupts the gas supply if the flame accidentally goes out, enhancing user safety.
To light a burner, the user must push the control knob down and turn it counterclockwise to the maximum gas supply position. The knob should be held down for a short period (equal to or less than 10 seconds) to allow the thermocouple to warm up and prevent the gas supply from being interrupted. Once the flame is regular, the user can adjust it to the desired intensity. If the burner does not light after several attempts, the user is advised to check the correct placement of the burner crown and cap. In the event of an electricity absence, burners can be ignited manually using a flame.
The manual emphasizes the importance of using stable cookware with appropriate diameters for each burner to ensure maximum stability and efficient gas consumption. Cookware should be centrally positioned on the burners, and the flame should not extend beyond the bottom of the pot. Users are cautioned against using cast iron pans, potstones, earthenware, grill, or toaster plates, as these can tarnish the stainless steel surface if overheated. It also advises against placing hot cookware on the control panel, allowing cookware to boil dry, or dropping objects on the appliance to prevent damage.
For optimal cooking, the manual suggests using lids on cookware, especially when heating water, and turning down the flame to a simmer once liquids begin to boil to save energy. Using a pressure cooker is also recommended for energy efficiency.
Regular cleaning is crucial to prevent the deterioration of the hob's surface material. The hob should be cleaned after each use, ensuring it has cooled down and is disconnected from the electrical supply. A moist soft cloth and neutral detergents are recommended for cleaning; abrasive products, solvents, or metal objects should be avoided.
Immediate removal of melted plastic, sugar, or sugary foods is advised to prevent damage to the hob, taking care to avoid burns. Limescale rings, water rings, fat stains, and metallic discoloration should be removed once the hob is sufficiently cool. Enamelled parts, burner caps, and crowns should be washed with warm soapy water and dried carefully before reassembly.
The pan supports, which are not dishwasher-safe, must be washed by hand. When replacing pan supports, users should be careful to align them correctly with the burner centers to ensure proper operation and prevent damage to the hob top. The manual provides visual guidance for removing and replacing pan supports, highlighting the importance of lifting them horizontally to avoid straining the metal pins.
The ceramic ignition candle with its metal electrode, known as the spark plug, should be kept clean to prevent difficult lighting. Users are advised to check that the burner crown holes are not obstructed.
Periodic maintenance by an Authorized Service Centre is recommended to check the condition of the gas supply pipe and pressure adjuster. The manual also provides troubleshooting tips for common issues such as the spark generator not activating, the flame extinguishing immediately after ignition, or an uneven flame ring, guiding users to check electrical connections, fuse status, burner component placement, and cleanliness.
The manual includes extensive safety instructions, emphasizing that installation should only be carried out by a qualified person. It warns against installing or using a damaged appliance and stresses the importance of following the provided installation instructions, including maintaining minimum distances from other appliances and units. Users are advised to wear safety gloves and enclosed footwear when moving the appliance due to its weight.
Children aged 8 years and above, and persons with reduced capabilities, can use the appliance if supervised and instructed on safe use. Children under 8 years must be continuously supervised. The appliance and its accessible parts become hot during use, posing a burn risk. Unattended cooking with fat or oil can be dangerous and lead to fire, and users are instructed never to extinguish a fat or oil fire with water, but rather to cover it with a lid or fire blanket.
The manual also covers electrical and gas connection safety, requiring all connections to be made by qualified electricians or GAS SAFE REGISTER installers. It specifies the need for an all-pole isolating switch for direct power supply connections and details the correct procedures for gas connections, including leak testing and ensuring proper ventilation. Users are warned against storing flammable items on cooking surfaces and against using the appliance as a work or storage surface.
