edge of the cooking utensil. This instruction is
based on safety considerations.
2. Do not forget that the unit becomes hot when in
use. Common sense is important. Just because
the flame is out, it does not mean parts still
cannot be hot.

heating. This instruction is based on safety
considerations.
4. Be sure to disconnect the electrical supply
before disassembly of the appliance.
5. Keep the appliance area clear and free from
combustible materials, gasoline and other
flammable vapors and liquids.
6. Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and
ventilation air.
7. Do not install the appliance under a suspended
cabinet. For installation under a vapour extractor
hood, a minimum clearance of
760 mm from the
top edge of the pot stand to the bottom edge of
the extractor hood must be observed.
8. The gas pressure regulator supplied with the
appliance must be installed in line with the gas
pipe.
9. The appliance and its individual shutoff valve
must be disconnected from the gas supply
piping system during any pressure testing of the
system at test pressures in excess of 3.5 kPa
(1/2 psig). The appliance must be isolated from
the gas supply piping system by closing its
individual manual shutoff valve during any
pressure testing of the gas supply piping system
at test pressures equal to or less than 3.5 kPa
(1/2 psig).

1. Important Notes
About Use
The appliance is intended solely for use in the
household and must not be put to any other uses.
Use the appliance to prepare meals only. It must not
be used to heat up the room in which it is installed.
Use of a gas cooker
generates heat and humidity
in the room where it is installed. This is why atten-
tion must be paid to good kitchen ventilation.
The natural
ventilation openings must be kept
unobstructed. Prolonged use of the appliance
with several or all rings may call for additional
ventilation such as opening a window or a door,
or stronger air extraction by an extractor hood.
To guarantee good combustion, the room in
which the appliance is installed must have
a minimum volume of 35 m
3
and must possess
a door that opens outdoors or a window that
can be opened.
Keep the ventilation openings at the back of the
appliance free at all times.
Only ever use the burners after placing pots
and pans on them. Do not heat up any empty
pots or pans.
It is not permitted to use roasting pans, frying pans
or grill stones heated simultaneously by several
burners because the resulting heat build-up may
damage the appliance.
Pots with a diameter of less than
90 mm or more
than
280 mm / 320 mm for the large (WOK)
burner
should not be used. When using large pots,
pay attention to keeping to a minimum distance of
50 mm between the cooking vessel and
combustible surroundings.
A minimum distance of
50 mm must be observed
between the control knob / control panel and the
pot or pan. The pot or pan should not touch the
control panel.
In the event of a spill or boil over the burner ring
and head may need to be removed and cleaned.
Perform when burner is cold. For identification of
burner ring and head see page 7.
Switch the burners to the low setting whenever you
remove pots or pans briefly. In this way, you reduce
the risk of burns when working next to naked
flames; you also save gas and reduce pollution.
Whenever the gas hob is fitted under an extractor
hood, always cover the rings with pots or pans.
Otherwise, parts of the extractor hood may become
damaged by the extreme heat development or
grease residues in the filter may ignite.
Ensure an adequate supply of air when using
an extractor hood operating in the extraction
mode
The appliance cannot be used during a power
failure
.
In the event of malfunctions, please inform your
specialist dealer or your nearest Gaggenau aftersales service.

3. Operating Principle
The gas hob features two normal burners,
two large burners and a Wok burner.
The appliance features one-hand operation, flame
detection and automatic re-ignition. The ignition is
activated when the control knob is turned.
Should the flame go out during operation, the
appliance will automatically re-ignite the burner.
During a disturbance, the appliance will cut off the
gas supply as a safety measure, to prevent
unburned gas escaping.
The flame setting is infinitely variable between high
and low.
The total rated thermal load amounts to:
59 MJ (16.5 kW) for natural gas
The specified rated load is defined by installation
of the fixed nozzles.
The gas hob is converted to a different gas
type by nozzle replacement (full and low-burning
nozzles) (see nozzle table on page 19-21).
