1.3 About use
The app iance is intended so e y for use in the
househo d and must not be put to any other uses.
Use the app iance to prepare mea s on y. It must not
be used to heat up the room in which it is insta ed.
Use of a gas cooker generates eat and umidity
in the room where it is insta ed. This is why atten-
tion must be paid to good kitchen venti ation.
The natural ventilation openings must be kept
unobstructed. Pro onged use of the app iance
with severa or a rings may ca for additiona
venti ation such as opening a window or a door,
or stronger air extraction by an extractor hood.
To guarantee good combustion, t e room in
w ic t e appliance is installed must ave
a minimum volume of 20 m3and must possess
a door t at opens outdoors or a window t at
can be opened.
Only ever use the burners after placing pots and
pans on t em. Do not eat up any empty pots
or pans; this may resu t in a bui d-up of heat. Use
pots and pans with thicker bottoms because heat
distribution is particu ar y improved in the ow
setting. The better the size of pots and pans is
adapted to the burner size, the better the heat of
the gas f ame wi be exp oited and the more costs
wi be saved.
Cooking vesse s with curved bottoms, e.g. woks,
must not be used.
It is not permitted to use roasting pans, frying pans
or gri stones heated simu taneous y by severa
burners because the resu ting heat bui d-up may
damage the app iance.
Switch the burners to the ow setting whenever you
remove pots or pans brief y. In this way, you reduce
the risk of burns when working next to naked
f ames; you a so save gas and reduce po ution.
Whenever the gas hob is fitted under a vapour
extractor hood, a ways cover the rings with pots
or pans. Otherwise, parts of the vapour extractor
hood may become damaged by the extreme heat
deve opment or grease residues in the fi ter may
ignite. Ensure an adequate supply of air w en
using a vapour extractor operating in t e
ex aust air mode.
After igniting, keep the contro knob pressed for
around 5-8 seconds more because the heat sensor
that opens the gas channe has to warm up first.
In the event of a power failure, you can a so ignite
the unit with matches or any other ignition aid. The
therma protection faci ity that prevent gas from
f owing out in the open position functions without
restriction.
Pots with a diameter of ess than 90 mm or more
than 220 mm shou d not be used. When using
arger pots, pay attention to keeping to a minimum
distance of 50 mm between the cooking vesse and
combustib e surroundings. A minimum distance of
15 mm must be observed between the contro knob
and the pot or pan.
In the event of malfunctions, contact your
specia ist dea er or your responsib e Gaggenau
after-sa es service.
Tip: When buying pots, pay attention to the fact
that the manufacturer frequent y specifies the top
pot diameter, which is genera y arger than the
diameter of the base.
Observe the manufacturer's specification! Use
cooking utensi s that the manufacturer states as
being “suitab e for gas".
Preferab y use the arger cooking zone for brief
cooking, deep fat frying and brief frying of arge
quantities. Preferab y use the sma er ring for
soaking, warming up and keeping warm, even
when arge quantities are invo ved.
