1.1 For your safety
You must not operate the appliance if it is damaged.
When connecting electrical appliances in the
proximity of the appliance, make sure that
connecting leads do not come into contact with
hot cooking surfaces!
As the user, you yourself are responsible for
maintenance and proper use in the household.
Only ever operate the appliance under supervision.
Do not operate the appliance without pots and pans
placed on it. Make sure that all the burner parts are
correctly fitted.
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 short-
circuits!
Isolate the appliance from the mains during every
maintenance operation. To do this, remove the
mains plug or actuate the corresponding fuse.
Close the gas supply.
Repairs must be carried out by authorised
specialists, thus ensuring electrical safety.
No warranty claims can be lodged for any damage
resulting from failure to observe these instructions.
Observe caution with oils and fats. They may
overheat and burn easily.

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.
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 10 m
3
and must possess
a door that opens outdoors or a window that
can be opened.
Only ever use the burners after placing pots and
pans on them. 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.
Cooking vessels with curved bottoms, e.g. woks,
must not be used.
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.
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 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 because the heat sensor
that opens the gas channel has to warm up first.
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 90 mm or more
than 220 mm should not be used. When using
larger pots, pay attention to keeping to a minimum
distance of 50 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".
Preferably use the larger cooking zone for brief
cooking, deep fat frying and brief frying of large
quantities. Preferably use the smaller ring for
soaking, warming up and keeping warm, even
when large quantities are involved.
