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.
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:
17.0 kW referred to Hs* (gross calorific value)
15.3 kW referred to Hi(calorific value)
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 17-19).

Switching on
• Place a suitable pot or a pan on the corresponding
cooking position.
• Press down the control knob for the corresponding
cooking position and turn it to the required
position between the and symbols. The burner
ignites automatically.
• When using large pots or pans you should ignite
the burner in the low position.
• Every time the gas hob is switched on, the
electronics run an auto test. All electrodes fire
and the required burner ignites after a few
seconds. When switching on further burners, only
the corresponding electrode fires.
• When being switched on, a short sound may be
heard when the electronic of the gas hob opens
the gas supply valve. This is a normal condition.
The flame size can be set continuously between full
and low by slowly turning the control knob.
Should the flame go out during operation
(e.g. because of a draught), the appliance will
automatically re-ignite the burner.
Should the re-ignition be unsuccessful (e.g. burner
is soiled by spilled over food or liquid), the gas
supply is switched off automatically and a signal is
sounded. Turn all control knobs to the OFF position.
After the appliance has cooled down sufficiently,
check if all the burner parts have been assembled
correctly. Check if the burners or the electrodes
have been soiled.
Note: if a malfunction occurs on
one burner, you can continue using the remaining
burners, however, you must turn all control knobs to
the off-position first, before recommencing.
4. Operation
Only light a burner if all burner parts are dry, and
assembled correctly. Otherwise, malfunctions may
occur or the appliance may switch off.
Switching off
Fully turn the control knob to the OFF position.
The electronics of the appliance switch the gas
supply off, if all control knobs are in the off position.
