Important notes 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 shortcircuits! 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. Foodstuffs that are prepared in fat and oil must only be prepared under constant supervision! Technical modifications reserved. 1.2 Operating for the first time Before operating the appliance for the first time, please pay attention to the following notes: The appliance must only be connected by an authorised specialist. Read through these instructions attentively before operating the appliance for the first time. Note: The rating plate for this appliance is included on a separate sheet. Keep the rating plate in a safe place along with your operating and assembly instructions. Remove the packaging from the appliance and dispose of it properly. Keep packaging elements away from children. Thoroughly clean the appliance and accessories before using them for the first time. This will eliminate any "newness" smells and soiling (see chapter entitled "Cleaning and care"). 3 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 20 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. 4 2.

That is to say, the ignition is activated when the control knob is pressed briefly. 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. The gas hob has 2 normal burners and 2 highintensity burners. All burners have a thermal protection device that prevents unburned gas from escaping in the open position. The total rated thermal load amounts to: 9.4 kW referred to Hs* (gross calorific value) 8.4 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 pp. 10-11). The symbols on the control panel mean: 0 Off High setting Low setting The flame is infinitely variable between high and low-setting. 6 3. Operation The cooking positions must only be ignited when all burner parts are fitted. Otherwise, malfunctions may occur on the ignition unit. Switching on: ­ Place a pot or a pan on the corresponding cooking position. ­ Fully press in the control knob for the corresponding cooking position. This activates the ignition. Keep the control knob pressed! ­ Turn the control knob to the left to the "high" position. If the flame should not ignite within 2 to 4 seconds, turn the control knob further to the left to the "low" position and then back to the "high" position after ignition. It is often faster to ignite in the low position because the various gases have a differing ignition response. 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. Repeat the operation if the flame should go out again. The flame size can be set continuously between full and low by slowing turning the control knob. Switching off: Fully turn the control knob to the left to the 0 position on the left. Fig. 4 Fig. 5 7 4. Cleaning and care Please thoroughly clean the appliance before operating it for the first time and after every use. ­ Wait until the appliance has cooled down. ­ Remove the pot grid. ­ Remove the burner cover. ­ Clean the hob, the burner covers and the pot grid with commercially available cleaning agents (not in a dishwasher!), e.g. with warm soap solution and a dishwashing brush. ­ Whenever required, clean the burner head with a moist cloth. ­ Soak burnt-in remainders in a little water and detergent. This loosens even the most stubborn of soiling. Do not use any abrasive agents and abrasive sponges. ­ As the result of heat development, slight discoloration can appear on the stainless steel surface. Do not attempt to scrape away such discoloration. This damages the surface. Distribute stainless steel care agents uniformly and thinly on the hob (not on the control panel!). This will ensure an even surface and will keep your hob in a good condition for a long period of time. Important: Allow the burner covers to cool down before cleaning them! When assembling, place the burner cover (1) on the burner head (2) so that the four tabs on the bottom edge of the burner cover engage in the corresponding tabs on the burner head (see Fig. 6). Place the pot grids back in position. 1 2 Fig. 6 Wipe off spilt food immediately, thus ensuring that it cannot burn in on the hob. Caution! The burner gets very hot during operation! Never use abrasive or caustic cleaning agents. You should only clean the control panel and the control knobs with detergent and a a soft cloth. To ensure perfect functioning, keep the thermal sensor and the spark plug clean. Keep the incoming air openings on the rear of the panel unobstructed and clean. Caution: Never use high-pressure or steam jet units to clean your appliance because otherwise the electrical safety of the appliance will no longer be guaranteed. 8 5. Maintenance 5.1 General In the event of malfunctions, check whether the gas and electricity supply is in proper working order, i.e. the gas valve is open and the plug has been plugged into the socket. If the power supply is functioning correctly, but your appliance still does not work, please contact your dealer or your local Gaggenau customer service agency. Specify the appliance type (see rating plate). Repairs may only be carried out by authorised technicians, in order to guarantee the safety of the appliance. Unauthorised tampering with the appliance will invalidate any warranty claims. Only ever use original spare parts. 5.2 Remedying slight malfunctions yourself Fault The burner does not ignite after several attempts.
