Need help?Do you have a question about the Electrolux EGH6343RON and is the answer not in the manual?
This document is a user manual for the Electrolux EGH6343RON and EGH6343ROR gas hob models. It provides comprehensive information on safety, installation, operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting.
The Electrolux EGH6343RON/ROR is a built-in gas hob designed for domestic cooking purposes. It features four gas burners: one Multi Crown burner, two Semi-rapid burners, and one Auxiliary burner, each controlled by a dedicated knob. The hob is intended for single household use in an indoor environment and can also be used in various accommodation settings where usage does not exceed average domestic levels. The appliance is equipped with an ignition system for easy lighting of the burners and thermocouples for safety, which interrupt the gas supply if the flame goes out.
The hob's operation is straightforward, primarily involving the control knobs. To light a burner, the user pushes the control knob down and turns it counter-clockwise to the maximum gas supply position. The knob must be held down for a short period (equal to or less than 10 seconds) to allow the thermocouple to warm up and ensure the gas supply is maintained. If the burner does not light after 15 seconds, the user should release the knob, turn it to the off position, and try again after a minimum of one minute. The progressive valves in the hob allow for precise flame regulation, from maximum to minimum gas supply. The control knobs also indicate the ignition position and the minimum gas supply.
Users are advised to always light the burner before placing cookware on it. When cooking with oil or fat, caution is necessary as these can release flammable vapors when heated. It is crucial to keep flames or heated objects away from fats and oils during cooking. The manual also emphasizes the importance of supervising the cooking process, especially short-term cooking, to prevent hazards.
For optimal performance and safety, specific cookware guidelines are provided. Users should use stable cookware with the correct shape and diameter, ensuring it is larger than the burner dimensions and centrally positioned. Large cookware that overlaps the edges of the appliance should be avoided to prevent damage to the worktop. The manual warns 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 the same pan on two burners or using unstable/damaged pots. To turn off a burner, the knob is simply rotated to the off position.
Regular care and cleaning are essential for maintaining the hob's performance and appearance. The manual recommends cleaning the hob after each use and always using cookware with clean bottoms. While scratches or dark stains on the surface do not affect operation, a special cleaner for hob surfaces is recommended.
For cleaning the hob, users should remove melted plastic, plastic foil, sugar, and food with sugar immediately to prevent damage, taking care to avoid burns. Limescale rings, water rings, fat stains, and shiny metallic discoloration should be cleaned once the hob is sufficiently cool, using a moist cloth and non-abrasive detergent. Enamelled parts, burner caps, and crowns should be washed with warm soapy water and dried carefully before reassembly.
The pan supports are not dishwasher-safe and must be washed by hand. When replacing them, care must be taken to prevent damage to the hob top. Stubborn stains on pan supports can be removed with a paste cleaner. It is crucial to ensure the pan supports are correctly positioned and aligned with the center of the burner for proper operation.
The spark plug, which consists of a ceramic ignition candle with a metal electrode, must be kept clean to prevent difficult lighting. Users should also ensure 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 the pressure adjuster, if fitted. The manual also provides troubleshooting tips for common issues such as a lack of spark, flame extinguishing after ignition, or an uneven flame ring, guiding users on how to resolve these problems or when to contact customer service.
