1. Important notes

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.
Venti ation openings must be kept unobstructed.
Prolonged use of the appliance 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 app iance is insta ed must have a
minimum vo ume of 10 m3and must possess a
door that opens outdoors or a window that can
be opened.
Do not operate the cooking position without a pot
or a pan or a wok placed on it. 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.
It is not permitted to use grilling stones because the
resulting build-up of heat may damage the
appliance.
witch the burners to the low setting whenever you
remove pots or pans briefly, thus saving gas and
reducing 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.
Note: the appliance must not be combined with
hob ventilators (VL 041/051).
After igniting, keep the control knob pressed for
around 5-8 seconds more. The thermal sensor
must be heated for 5-8 seconds before the knob
can be released.
In the event of a power fai ure, 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 100 mm (4”) or
more than 320 mm (12 1/2”) should not be used.
When using larger pots, pay attention to keeping to
a minimum distance of 100 mm (4”) between the
cooking vessel and combustible surroundings. A
minimum distance of 15 mm (19/32”) must be
observed between the control knob and the pot or
pan.
In the event of ma functions, 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".

2.3 Operating princip e The appliance features one-hand operation. 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 burner has a therma protection device that
prevents unburned gas from escaping in the open
position.
The tota rated therma oad amounts to:
17 000 BTU (5.0 kW) referred to Hs* (gross calorific
value)
15 300 BTU (4.5 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).
The symbo s on the contro panel mean:
0Off
Outer flame ring off
Low position of inner flame ring
Outer flame ring off
High position of inner flame ring
Low position of outer flame ring
High position of inner flame ring
High position of outer and inner flame rings
The flame is infinitely variable between high and
low-setting.
Maintenance Instructions
– Keep appliance area clean and free from
combustible materials, gasoline and other
inflammable vapors and liquids.
– Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and
ventilation air.
– Visually check burner flames with this pictorial
representation (see figure 4).

The cooking positions must on y be ignited
when a burner parts are fitted. Otherwise,
ma functions may occur on the ignition unit.
Switching on (Fig. 5):
– Place a pot or a pan on the corresponding
cooking position.
– Press in the control knob fully and keep it
pressed. This activates the ignition.
– 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.
Once the flame is burning, keep the control knob
pressed for another 5-8 seconds. The thermal
sensor must be heated for 5-8 seconds before the
knob can be released.
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 (Fig. 6):
Fully turn the control knob to the left to the 0
position on the left.

Wipe off spi t 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.
Keep the air in et openings on the rear of the
panel unblocked and clean.
You should only clean the contro pane and the
contro knobs with detergent and a a soft cloth.
To ensure perfect functioning, keep the therma
sensor and the spark p ug clean.
Please thoroughly clean the appliance before
operating it for the first time and after every
use.
– Wait unti the app iance has coo ed down.
– Remove the pot grid.
– Remove the burner cover and the burner ring.
– 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.
– oak 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 dis-
coloration can appear on the stainless steel
surface. Do not attempt to scrape away such
disco oration. 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.
When assembling the appliance (Fig. 7), make sure
that the burner head (5) is placed on the burner
base (7) in such a way that the twist protector (4) is
held in place by the thermal element (6). Place the
burner ring (2) on the burner head (5) from above.
The locking lug on theunderside of the burner ring
must fit in the recess (3). Place the burner cover (1)
in the centre of the burner head. Fit the pot support.
4. Cleaning and care
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.
