Frequently Asked Questions - 85550G-FM AEG

How to light a burner?

Turn the selected knob, then press firmly for 3 to 4 seconds to allow the sparks to ignite the gas and the thermocouple to heat up. Then release the knob and adjust the flame by turning counterclockwise.

What to do if the flame accidentally goes out?

Don't worry: the automatic safety valve cuts off the gas supply about 30 seconds after the flame goes out. To relight, follow the normal lighting procedure.

What type of gas to use with this hob?

The appliance is factory set for natural gas (G20). It can be converted to operate on LPG (G30/G31) by replacing the injectors (kit supplied). Check the rating plate to confirm the permissible gas type.

This appliance is not connected to a fume extraction device and must be installed and connected in compliance with the current regulations. Pay particular attention to the applicable regulations on ventilation. The use of a gas cooking appliance produces heat and humidity in the room where it is installed. Ensure the room is adequately ventilated:

keep natural ventilation openings open, or install a mechanical ventilation device (extractor hood with exhaust duct). In case of intensive or prolonged use of the appliance, it may be necessary to provide additional ventilation, for example by opening a window, or more efficient ventilation, by increasing the fan speed (if present).

The manufacturer declines any liability for damage due to: incorrect installation, improper, wrong or unreasonable use.

Installation

The necessary operations for installation, including gas and electrical connections, are described below.

Such operations must be carried out by qualified personnel in accordance with current regulations, since their performance by unskilled people may constitute a hazard.

The manufacturer declines any liability for injury or damage due to non-compliance with these provisions.

THE GAS CONNECTION MUST COMPLY WITH UNI 7129 AND UNI 7131 STANDARDS.

Preparing the cabinet

This handbook regards a class 3 built-in cooking hob.

Prepare the opening in the top according to the measurements given in fig. 1.

The opening must be made in the most convenient position, taking into account that the gas pipe must not come into contact with the sides of a possible oven under the hob.

Fitting in the cabinet

After carrying out the connection operations, apply the sealing strip around the hole and position the hob.

Carefully tighten the fixing hooks (fig. 2). Remove any excess sealing strip.

Note

If the appliance is not installed above an oven, a separator baffle must be arranged (fig. 3).

Flush fitting (85550 G-FM model only)

• Prepare the opening in the top according to the measurements given in fig. 1b.
• Mill the top along the entire edge of the opening, making sure to respect the measurements indicated in fig. 1b and 4.
• The opening must be made in the most convenient position, taking into account that the gas pipe must not come into contact with the sides of a possible electrical appliance installed under the hob.
  After carrying out the necessary connections, spread the silicone sealant around the opening, at the milling, and position the hob.
• Position the hooks, supplied as accessories, in their special seats, on the fixing profiles.
• Carefully tighten the fixing hooks (fig. 4).
• Remove any excess sealant.

Connection to the gas supply

Before connecting the appliance to the gas supply, in compliance with the current regulations, make sure it is arranged for the type of gas to be used.

Otherwise, carry out the operations described in the section "Replacing injectors" (page 17). For liquefied gas, use pressure regulators complying with the current regulations.

Connection to the gas pipe can be carried out in two ways:

A Connect the gas hob using a 12mm diameter rigid copper pipe, as shown in fig. 5. To ensure a good seal, fit the elastomer gasket supplied as an accessory (standard UNI EN 682).
B Connect the hob using a continuous-surface flexible steel tube (standard UNI 9891). Also in this case, to ensure a good seal use the gasket supplied as an accessory. The current regulations on gas systems, and in particular the above-mentioned UNI standards must be respected.

After carrying out the connection use soapy water to check for any leaks.

Ventilation of rooms

Make sure the room where the appliance is installed has permanent ventilation openings towards the outside or ventilation ducts to ensure an adequate air flow, as prescribed by the current regulations. All openings made must:

I. have a section of at least 100cm^2
2. be made in such a way that they cannot be obstructed from inside or outside;
3. be provided with suitable protection to ensure that the ventilation opening is not reduced;
4. be at a suitable height from floor so that they do not hinder the exhausting of fumes.

If openings are made in the wall of an adjacent room, the latter must have direct ventilation and must not be:

I. a bedroom;
2. a common area of the building;
3. a room with fire risk.

Before testing the appliance, make sure the room where the ventilation opening is made is not in low pressure due to the operation of another user and that the ventilation between the two rooms is guaranteed by permanent free openings, for example by increasing the gap between the bottom of the door and the floor. The fumes must be exhausted by means of a hood which, in turn, must be connected to a chimney, flue, or directly to the outside.

Accessing the hob

To access the tray containing the functional parts, proceed as follows:

• remove the grates, burner caps and flame-spreaders;
• remove the knobs, sliding them off their pins;
• remove the screws fixing the burners to the hob; for the flush version, also undo the two screws fixing the tray in the front part of the same.
• lift the hob.

Important: for the flush version, before proceeding as described above, remove the entire hob from the top by unscrewing the fixing hooks.

Connection to the power supply

The AEG cooking hob comes with a 3-core power cable with free terminals

If the hob is permanently connected to the power supply, install a circuit breaker having a contact opening distance that allows complete disconnection in the conditions of overvoltage category III. Make sure:

a) the plug and socket are suitable for a 16 A current;
b) both are easily reached and positioned so that no live part can be accessed when inserting or removing the plug;
c) the plug can be inserted without difficulty and is accessible with the appliance installed;
d) the hob does not rest against the plug when installed in the cabinet;
e) the terminals of two appliances are not connected to the same plug;
f) a 3 × 0.5 ~mm^2 H05VV-F type cable is used when replacing the power cable;
g) to respect the polarities of the free terminals (Brown=Line Blue=Neutral Yellow/Green=Earth).

NB: Make sure the characteristics of your household electrical system (voltage, max. power and current) are compatible with those of your AEG hob.

Replacing injectors

NB: All the products are factory-set for natural gas (G20).

If a different type of gas is to be used, change the injectors as follows:

I. remove the grates, burner caps and flame-spreaders;
2. unscrew and remove the injectors and replace them with those supplied, corresponding to the mains gas, making sure the marking is that given in the table (page 19);
3. refit the flame-spreaders, burner caps and grates;
4. these burners do not require air adjustment.

Important

When converting the appliance to a different type of gas, place the corresponding sticker (supplied as an accessory) in the special space on the dataplate. For operation with LPG. (G30 or G31) the minimum adjustment screw must be screwed down. These appliances are supplied in cat. II 2H3+.

Minimum flame adjustment

• Remove the knobs (push-on type).
• Light the burners and adjust the minimum flame by turning the adjustment screw clockwise to decrease the flame and anticlockwise to increase it (fig. 6). The screwdriver for adjustment is supplied with the accessories.
