Need help?Do you have a question about the Electrolux KGG6438K and is the answer not in the manual?
This document is a user manual for the Electrolux KGG6438K hob, a gas cooking appliance designed for household use. It provides comprehensive instructions for installation, safe operation, daily use, maintenance, and troubleshooting.
The Electrolux KGG6438K hob is a gas cooking appliance featuring multiple burners for various cooking needs. It includes:
The hob is equipped with control knobs for each burner, allowing users to adjust the gas supply from minimum to maximum flame positions, as well as an off position. An ignition position is also integrated into the control knob for lighting the burners.
A key feature of this hob is the Hob²Hood function, which allows it to connect and communicate with a special Electrolux cooker hood via an infrared signal. This function enables manual control of the hood's fan speed and light directly from the hob's control panel. The hob's control panel also includes a Minute Minder function, which can be used as a standalone timer, indicating the remaining time and emitting a sound when the set time expires.
Safety features are integral to the hob's design, including:
The hob is designed for intuitive and safe operation:
To light a burner, the user must push down the corresponding control knob and turn it counterclockwise to the maximum gas supply position. The knob should be held down for a short period (up to 10 seconds) to allow the thermocouple to warm up and engage the gas supply. Once the flame is regular, the user can adjust its intensity by turning the knob between the maximum and minimum gas supply positions. In case of an accidental flame extinction, the control knob should be turned to the off position, and the ignition process repeated after a minimum of one minute. In the event of an electricity outage, burners can be lit manually using a flame source while holding down the control knob.
Users are advised to use stable cookware with appropriate shapes and diameters that match the burner size to ensure optimal performance and gas consumption. Cookware made of cast iron, aluminum, or with damaged bottoms should be handled with care to avoid scratching the glass/glass ceramic surface. Large cookware that overlaps the appliance edges should be avoided to prevent damage to the worktop. Lids should be used on cookware whenever possible to save energy, and the flame should be turned down to simmer liquids once they boil.
The Hob²Hood function can be activated and deactivated manually from the hob's control panel. Users can select different manual modes (HO, HL, H1, H2, H3) to control the hood's light and fan speed (Off, Level 1, Level 2, Level 3). It's important to ensure the remote system of the hood is activated before using this function, and to avoid obstructing the infrared signal between the hob and the hood.
The Minute Minder function allows users to set a timer for up to 99 minutes. To activate, touch the designated sensor field, then use the +/- fields to set the desired time. The display will show the remaining time, decreasing in seconds during the last minute and emitting a sound signal during the last 10 seconds. When the time expires, "00" flashes, and a sound operates. The sound can be stopped by touching the +/- fields, and the timer can be stopped by touching the timer sensor field longer. This function can be used even when the appliance is off.
Regular cleaning and maintenance are crucial for the hob's longevity and performance:
The hob should be cleaned after each use. A moist soft cloth and neutral detergents are recommended. Abrasive products, abrasive cleaning pads, solvents, or metal objects should not be used. Water spray and steam cleaners are also prohibited. For stubborn stains, a paste cleaner can be used. Stainless steel parts should be washed with water and dried with a soft cloth.
Burner caps and crowns should be cleaned with warm soapy water and dried carefully before reassembly. The pan supports are not dishwasher-safe and must be washed by hand. When replacing pan supports, care must be taken to ensure they are correctly positioned, with their arms fitting into the recesses of the enamelled plates, to ensure stability and prevent damage to the hob top. Knives, scrapers, or similar instruments should not be used to clean the glass surface or burner rims.
The ceramic ignition candle with a metal electrode should be kept clean to prevent difficult lighting. Users should also ensure that the burner crown holes are not obstructed by food residues.
It is recommended to contact an Authorised Service Centre periodically to check the condition of the gas supply pipe and the pressure adjuster, if fitted.
The manual provides a troubleshooting guide for common issues such as burners not lighting, flame extinguishing, uneven flame, or control panel brightness reduction. It offers possible causes and remedies, advising users to check electrical connections, fuse, burner component placement, and cleanliness. If issues persist, users are directed to contact their dealer or an Authorised Service Centre.
