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
attention must be paid to good kitchen venti ation.
Ventilation openings must be kept unobstructed.
Pro onged use of the app iance 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 10 m3and must possess a
door t at opens outdoors or a window t at can
be opened.
Do not operate the cooking position without a pot
or a pan or a wok p aced on it. 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.
It is not permitted to use gri ing stones because the
resu ting bui d-up of heat may damage the
app iance.
Switch the burners to the ow setting whenever you
remove pots or pans brief y, thus saving gas and
reducing 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 supp y of air when using
a vapour extractor operating in the exhaust air
mode.
After igniting, keep the contro knob pressed for
around 5-8 seconds more. The therma sensor
must be heated for 5-8 seconds before the knob
can be re eased.
In t e 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 100 mm or more
than 320 mm shou d not be used. When using
arger pots, pay attention to keeping to a minimum
distance of 100 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 t e 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".
