Important Notes 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. Caution: The appliance heats up during operation. Keep children away. Do not clean the appliance with a steam cleaning apparatus or with water pressure - risk of shortcircuits! Isolate the appliance from the mains during every maintenance operation. To do this, remove the mains plug or switch off the corresponding household 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. Foodstuffs that are prepared in fat and oil must only be prepared under constant supervision! Technical modifications reserved. Operating for the First Time Remove the packaging from the appliance and dispose of it according to local regulations. Be careful to remove all accessories from the packaging. Keep packaging elements and plastic bags away from children. Check the appliance for transport damage before installing it. The appliance must be installed and connected by an authorised specialist before operation. The installation must conform with all current regulations of the gas supply companies and the regional construction regulations. Turn all control knobs to the OFF position before connecting the appliance to the power supply. The serial number of the appliance can be found on the quality control slip which is included with these instructions. This quality control slip should be kept, for guarantee reasons, together with your operating and assembly instructions. Read through these instructions attentively before operating your appliance for the first time. Thoroughly clean the appliance and accessories before using them for the first time. This will eliminate any 'newness' smells and soiling (see chapter "Cleaning and care"). 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 35 m3 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. 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. 4 2.

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. Off 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. High 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). Low 6 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 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. Indicator light The indicator light next to the control knob comes on, if the burner is switched on and the flame burns correctly. 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), all burners are switched off, the indicator lights of the burners that were switched on flash. Turn all control knobs to the OFF position. The flashing indicator lights will go out except for the affected burner. This indicator will continue to flash for a few seconds. After the 7 appliance has cooled down sufficiently, check this burner to see if all the burner parts have been assembled correctly. Check if the burner or the electrode has been soiled (see trouble shooting guide on page 16). 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. Please note when switching on the cold appliance on the HIGH setting: depending on the gas type and pressure, it is possible that the electrode continues to fire, although there is a flame visible, and then switches off. Turn all control knobs to the OFF position. Then turn the control knob for the required cooking position to any setting except the high position and leave to warm up for 30 to 60 seconds. Then you can continue to use your appliance as usual. 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. 8 5.

Then switch back to a lower setting. The output of the inner flame ring is the same on the normal, as well as the large burners. The values given above must be looked upon as recommended values. The heat required depends not only on the type and condition of the food, but also the size and contents of the pot. Due to the high performance of the cooktop, fat and oil will heat up quickly. Never leave the cooktop unattended, fat can ignite, food can burn. Preferably use the rear cooking zones to prepare meals, that need longer to cook. Preferably use the larger burners or the wok burner for brief cooking, deep fat frying and brief frying of large quantities. 9 6. Cookware Recommendations Recommended pot diameter Normal Burner 200 - 240 mm Large Burner 240 - 280 mm Large Burner (Wok) 240 - 320 mm KG 291 Minimum pot diameter 90 mm 90 mm 160 mm 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. 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 specifications! Use cooking utensils that the manufacturer states as being "suitable for gas". Use pots with heat resistant handles. Use pots and pans with a thick base, because heat distribution is particularly improved in the low setting. Using the correct size of pots and pans for the burner ensures improved cooking performance and energy efficiency. To ensure an even distribution of heat, center the pot above the burner. The flames should be covered by the pot base. Place the pot or pan securely and level on the pot grid. Turn the pan handle to the side, it should not point to the front.
