1. Important notes

1.3 About use
The appliance is intended so e y for use in the
househo d 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 burner without a pot or a
pan or a wok p aced 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 gri ing stones
because the resulting build-up of heat may damage
the appliance.
Switch the burners to the ow 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.
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 or more
than 320 mm should not be used. When using
larger pots, pay attention to keeping to a minimum
distance of 100 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 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 valve 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:
18 MJ (5.0 kW)
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
High position of outer and inner flame rings
Low position of outer flame ring
High position of inner flame ring
Outer flame ring off
High position of inner flame ring

Low position of inner flame ring
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).

Leve 4 High

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 sensor (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.

7.1 The wok and accessories
(not included in the scope of delivery)
– The “original wok" is the ideal wok for your gas
cooker.
– The wok looks like a hollow semisphere with a
long handle or wooden handle. It has a rounded
base and slanted sides. The thin steel passes the
heat swiftly to the inside, but soon cools down
again as soon as the flame is set to a lower
setting. Therefore, ingredients cannot overcook.
– The diameter is between 35 and 40 cm for
4 persons.
– Woks may consist of various materials. Cast-iron
woks are more stable and keep the heat longer.
– They have a round, high cover. Therefore, they
are also capable of steaming and stewing.
– The semicircular grid is hooked in on the edge of
the wok. On it, you can steam ingredients, you
can allow deep fried foods to drip or you can
keep browned foods warm.
– Use the chan (rounded spatula) or the wooden
pan reversing implement.
– Use a ladle to remove foods.
– Use the strainer to lift deep fried foods from the
fat or large pieces out of a sauce.
– You can use bamboo baskets for steaming.
7.2 Cooking in the wok
You can fry, steam, deep fry, stew and cook normally.
tir frying is the special cooking method for the
wok. Ingredients cut into small pieces are cooked
as briefly as possible under strong heat and
constant stirring. In the large, round pan everything
can be stirred and turned faster and with greater
ease than in a conventional frying pan. Thanks to
stirring, ingredients do not burn onto the pan.
urplus oil drains off towards the middle. In next to
no time, you obtain delicious roasted foods, the
pores in meat close and fish becomes nices and
juicy. Vegetables stay crispy, and aromas and
healthy vitamins are retained.
Important: the cooking time is so short that all
ingredients should be ready for cooking before you
begin. The correct sequence is also important. First
place the ingredients with the longest cooking time
in the wok. For example, these are hard-fibred
vegetables such as carrots. oft vegetables such as
mushrooms or sprouts are added later.
Proceed as fo ows:
– Pour sufficient oil into the wok to coat the surface.
We advise you to use peanut or or soya oil.
– Heat up the oil to just before the smoking point;
only then begin with stir frying.
– Cut the food into pieces of equal size, but not too
small, thus making sure they will not burn.
– If you are cooking larger quantities, work with
portions as otherwise not all of the food will reach
the hot base of the wok.
– Meals that are ready ca be kept warm on a
minimal flame. Clean the wok after every use and
rub its inside with oil. This will prevent rusting.

– Produce the recess for one or several Vario
appliance(s) in your worktop. Proceed as
indicated on the installation sketch and the
dimension table. The dimension table contains
details of the space requirement for the trim
between the appliances.
Important: the angle between the cut surface
and the worktop must amount to 90° (Fig. 18).
– Mark the centre of the recess exact y. ecure
the securing rails on the front and rear edges of
the recess. Make sure that the lugs of the securing
rails lie on the worktop and that the centre
marking of the securing rails is precisely flush
with the centre marking on the worktop (Fig. 19).
– Lower the app iance into the worktop. Make
sure that the engaging lugs on the appliance lie
exactly on the clamping springs. Press the
appliance firmly into the worktop. The engaging
lugs on the appliance “snap" into the clamping
springs (Fig. 20).
Note: When installing the appliance in granite or
marble worktops, have the holes produced by a
specialist or stick on the securing rails with a
temperature-resistant 2-component adhesive (metal
on stone).
