Need help?Do you have a question about the Electrolux EGD6576 and is the answer not in the manual?
This document describes the Electrolux EGD6576 hob, a built-in cooking appliance designed for household use. It combines both gas burners and induction cooking zones, offering versatility in cooking methods.
The hob features a control panel with sensor fields for operating the induction zones and control knobs for the gas burners. The induction zones are activated and deactivated by touching a dedicated ON/OFF sensor field. Heat settings for induction zones can be adjusted using +/- sensor fields, with a display showing the current setting. The hob also includes timer indicators for cooking zones and a main timer display, allowing users to set specific cooking durations.
Key usage features for the induction zones include a "Power function" which provides increased power for a limited time, useful for rapid heating. An "Automatic Heat Up" function allows for quicker attainment of desired heat settings. The "STOP+GO" function is designed to set all operating cooking zones to the lowest heat setting, which can be useful for pausing cooking. For safety, a "Lock" function is available to prevent accidental changes to heat settings during cooking, and a "Child Safety Device" can be activated to prevent unintended operation of the hob. The hob also has an "Automatic Switch Off" function that deactivates the hob under certain conditions, such as prolonged inactivity, spills on the control panel, or overheating. An indicator for residual heat (H) is present, warning users that a cooking zone is still hot.
For the gas burners, operation involves pushing down and turning the control knob counter-clockwise to the maximum gas supply position to ignite the burner. The knob must be held for a few seconds to allow the thermocouple to warm up, ensuring the gas supply is not interrupted. The flame can then be adjusted. In case of an accidental flame extinction, the control knob should be turned to the off position before re-ignition. The spark generator may start automatically when the mains are switched on, which is considered normal.
The manual provides hints and tips for optimal use, especially concerning cookware. For induction zones, correct cookware material (cast iron, steel, enamelled steel, stainless steel, multi-layer with a correct mark) and dimensions are crucial for efficient operation. Cookware with a damaged bottom or made of aluminium, copper, brass, glass, ceramic, or porcelain is not recommended for induction zones. The bottom of the cookware should be as thick and flat as possible. For gas burners, users are advised to use stable cookware with the correct shape and diameter, ensuring it is centrally positioned on the burners to maximize stability and reduce gas consumption. Caution is given against using cast iron pans, potstones, earthenware, grill, or toaster plates on gas burners.
Maintenance features include general cleaning instructions. The hob should be cleaned after each use, and cookware with a clean bottom should always be used. Scratches or dark stains on the surface do not affect the hob's operation. A special cleaner and scraper for glass are recommended. Stainless steel parts should be washed with water and dried with a soft cloth. The pan supports for the gas burners are not dishwasher-safe and must be washed by hand. Stubborn stains on enamel coating can be removed with a paste cleaner. The burner caps and crowns should be cleaned with warm soapy water and dried carefully. The spark plug components should be kept clean to prevent difficult lighting, and burner crown holes should not be obstructed. Periodic maintenance by an Authorised Service Centre is recommended to check the gas supply pipe and pressure adjuster.
The document also addresses troubleshooting common issues, such as the hob not activating, sensor fields not responding, residual heat indicator not coming on, or issues with gas burner ignition and flame stability. It provides remedies like checking electrical connections, cleaning the control panel, using correct cookware, and ensuring burner components are correctly placed and clean.
Overall, the Electrolux EGD6576 hob is designed for safe and efficient cooking, offering a blend of modern induction technology and traditional gas burners, with clear guidelines for operation and maintenance.
