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 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 10 m

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 correct sized pots and pans

promote even heat distribution and result in a more

efficient use of energy.

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.

and must possess

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.
