(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).

Important: the appliance heats up during
operation. Keep children away.
Note: if you have fitted the appliance cover
VD 201-010 (special accessory) on the appliance, it
must not be closed until the appliance has cooled
down completely. Do not operate the appliance with
the cover closed! Heat development may damage
the appliance and the cover. Do not use the
appliance cover as a surface for placing objects or
for keeping things warm.
Do not clean the appliance with a steam cleaning
apparatus or with water pressure - risk of shortcircuits!

1. Important notes
1.3 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
attention must be paid to good kitchen ventilation.
Ventilation openings must be kept unobstructed.
Prolonged use of the appliance 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 10 m
3
and must possess a
door that opens outdoors or a window that can
be opened.
Do not operate the burner without a pot or a
pan or a wok placed on it. Do not heat up any
empty pots or pans; this may result in a build-up
of heat. Use pots and pans with thicker bottoms
because heat distribution is particularly improved
in the low setting. The better the size of pots and
pans is adapted to the burner size, the better the
heat of the gas flame will be exploited and the
more costs will be saved.
It is not permitted to use grilling stones
because the resulting build-up of heat may damage
the appliance.
Switch the burners to the low setting whenever
you remove pots or pans briefly, thus saving gas and
reducing pollution.
Whenever the gas hob is fitted under a vapour
extractor hood, always cover the rings with pots
or pans. Otherwise, parts of the vapour 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
a vapour extractor operating in the exhaust air
mode.
After igniting, keep the control knob pressed for
around 5-8 seconds more. The thermal sensor
must be heated for 5-8 seconds before the knob
can be released.
In the event of a power failure, you can also
ignite the unit with matches or any other ignition
aid. The thermal protection facility that prevent gas
from flowing out in the open position functions
without restriction.
Pots with a diameter of less than 100 mm or more
than 320 mm should not be used. When using
larger pots, pay attention to keeping to a minimum
distance of 100 mm between the cooking vessel
and combustible surroundings. A minimum distance
of 15 mm must be observed between the control
knob and the pot or pan.
In the event of malfunctions, contact your
specialist dealer or your responsible Gaggenau
after-sales service.
Tip: when buying pots, pay attention to the fact that
the manufacturer frequently specifies the top pot
diameter, which is generally larger than the
diameter of the base.
Observe the manufacturer’s specification! Use
cooking utensils that the manufacturer states as
being “suitable for gas".
