AEG & Electrolux Touch Control Ceramic Glass Hobs
OWNERS OF THE ABOVE APPLIANCE MUST ACT IMMEDIATELY ON THIS SAFETY NOTICE.
Their quality control programme has identified that in certain circumstances, some AEG and Electrolux ceramic glass touch control hobs (See table below) could remain switched on, even if the hob main "off" switch has been pressed. This could lead to an injury or a fire if any items are left on the hob.
The model number of the hob is clearly shown on the instruction book which came with the hob. If you can no longer find the instruction book, you can check if you have an affected model by looking at the code in the corner of the ceramic glass.
If the model number or glass code matches one in the table below then the hob is an affected model.

to arrange for a free-of-charge visit from a service engineer to rectify the fault. Please note: You can continue to use your hob but you must turn each zone off individually by counting down to zero and then switch off the hob main "off" switch. As an additional safety measure, you should then turn your hob off at the mains supply. This safety notice does not affect any other AEG or Electrolux appliance. They apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and thank you for your co-operation.
