Introduction
This gas hob has been designed for the true cooking enthusiast. The
differences in burner capacity allow you to cook any type of dish. The
control buttons have an integrated spark iginition, which means that
you need only one hand to ignite and operate the burners. With the
GGS64..., GGS64W... and GGS75... models, at least 2 burners remain
available for cooking other dishes while cooking food in the wok, thanks
to the spacious layout of the wok burners.
The gas hob is fitted with a flame failure device, which ensures that the
gas supply is shut off if the flame goes out during the cooking process.
This manual explains optimum use of the gas hob. In addition to
information on operation, you will also find background information that
may be useful to you when using this product.
Read the manual thorougly before using the appliance, and store
these instructions in a safe place for future reference.
The manual also serves as reference material for service technicians.
Please, therefore, stick the appliance identification card in
the space provided, at the back of the manual. The appliance
identification card contains all the information that the service technician
will need in order to respond appropriately to your needs and questions.
Enjoy your cooking!

GB 6
What you should pay attention to
• Ensure that there is adequate ventilation during use. Keep natural
ventilation openings open.
• When using the hob for long periods, extra ventilation is necessary.
Open a window for instance or install a mechanical fan.
• Use the hob only for preparing dishes. The appliance is not suitable
for space heating.
• Never flambé under an extractor hood. The high flames can cause a
fire, even if the fan is switched off.
• The burner parts are hot during and immediately after use. Do not
touch them, and avoid contact with non-heat-resistant materials.
• Never immerse hot burner parts in cold water. The rapid cooling can
damage the enamel.
• The distance from the pan to a knob or non-heat-resistant wall
should always be greater than two centimetres. In case of smaller
distances the high temperature may cause the knobs or wall to
discolour and/or distort.
• Always use the pan supports and suitable cooking utensils.
• Always place the pan on the pan support. Placing the pan directly
on the burner head can result in dangerous situations.
• Aluminium trays or foil are not suitable as cooking utensils. They
can become burnt into the burners and pan supports.
• The hob can only function effectively if the burner parts have been
assembled using the guide ridges.
• Ensure that the pan supports lie properly against each other and flat
on the glaa panel. Only then can the pans be positioned stably.
Safe use
• The device will become hot during use and will remain so for some
time after it has been switched off. So please be sure not to touch
the device while it is hot.
• Always wear oven gloves or use oven cloths when operating the
device. Keep oven gloves or oven cloths away from the flame.
• Do not warm closed tins and such like on the hob. There will be a
buildup of pressure that will cause tins to explode. You might get
injured or scalded.
• The device is not to be positioned nor used outdoors.
SAFETY

GB 7
• Do not use the device as a worktop. The device may be switched on
by accident or still be hot, which means objects could melt, become
hot or catch fire.
• Never cover the device with a cloth or something similar. If the
device is still hot or is switched on, there is a risk of fire.
• Be extra careful when using oils or fats. Overheated oil or fats may
catch fire. Risk of fire!
• Under no circumstances should you use water to try and extinguish
the flames if the oil or fat were to catch fire! Extinguish the flames
with a suitable lid, a damp cloth or some such object.
• If there is a drawer underneath the device, without an intermediate
bottom, this should not be used to store highly flammable objects/
materials.
• Never use a pressure cleaner or a steam cleaner to clean the
device. This could cause a short circuit.
Children
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including
children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or
lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a
person responsible for their safety.
• Never let children play with this device. Children are not to be
allowed near the device unsupervised.
• The device will become hot during use and will remain hot for some
time after it has been switched off.
• Do not keep objects in cupboards above or behind the device that
children might find interesting.
• Children may sustain burns when they pull pots or pans off the
device. A special frame that stops children from getting close to the
device is available from the specialist dealer.
• If the safety instructions and warnings are not heeded, the
manufacturer can not be held liable for any consequential damage.
SAFETY

GB 8
CONTROLS
Igniting and adjusting
A symbol near the control knob indicates which burner is being
controlled. The burners can be adjusted continuously between the high
and low positions.
Flame failure device
Your gas hob has a flame failure device. This ensures that the gas
supply is shut off if the flame goes out during cooking.
Operating the thermal flame failure device
Press the control knob and turn it anti-clockwise. Hold the control knob
pressed for approximately 3 seconds after the burner has ignited.
The flame failure device switches on.
When the burner does not ignite, check whether:
• the burner cap is placed on top of the burner correctly;
• the burner/spark plug is clean and dry.

GB 9
Optimal use of the hob
Always ensure that the flames remain below the pan. If flames
play around the pan, a lot of energy is lost. In addition, the
handles can get too hot. Do not use pans with a base diameter
less than 12 cm. Smaller pans will not be stable.
• When frying, stir-frying, heating through large quantities and
deepfrying it is best to use the rapid or wok burner.
• Preparing sauces, simmering and boiling can be done best on the
simmer burner. On its high setting this burner is large enough for
cooking food right through.
• Cook with the lid on the pan. This way you save up to 50% energy.
• Use pans with a flat, clean, dry base. Pans with a flat base stand
stably and pans with a clean base transfer the heat more effectively
to the food.
Wok burner (GGS64W..., GGS75W...)
With the wok burner you can prepare dishes at a very high temperature.
For this purpose it is important:
• to cut the ingredients into strips, slices or pieces before cooking;
• to use good-quality oil, such as olive, maize, sunflower or peanut oil
when stir-frying. A small quantity is enough. Butter and margarine on
the other hand will burn because of the high heat;
• to place the dishes with the longest cooking time in the pan first,
so that at the end of the cooking time all ingredients are cooked
al dente at the same time.
The auxiliary support supplied for the wok burner or available as an
accessory provides additional stability in case of a wok with a round
base. The auxiliary support for the wok has special recesses so it can
be positioned neatly on top of the standard wok pan support.
COMFORTABLE COOKING

GB 10
General
Your appliance has been manufactured from high-grade materials,
which are easy for you to clean.
• Regular cleaning immediately after use prevents over-cooked food
being able to become ingrained and cause stubborn stains that are
difficult to remove. Use a mild cleaning agent.
• Clean the control knobs, burners and pan supports first and then the
drip tray. This avoids the drip tray getting dirty again during cleaning.
• Clean the spark plugs preferably with a cloth. Do this carefully. the
spark plug can become defective. The sparkplug will only operate
correctly in a dry environment. If the plug is very dirty, you may
clean the point with a tiny brush.
• Set the pan supports down vertically, without sliding them over the
drip tray.
• Assemble the burner parts with the aid of the guide ridges, paying
attention to the cut-out sections in the burner head for the spark-
plug and thermocouple. Make sure that the burner parts lie flat.
Cleaning
Cleaning the pan support
Do not clean the pan supports in the dishwasher. The enamel on the
pan supports is suitable for cleaning by dishwasher. However, the
connection with the rubber feet is not. Moreover, the pan supports might
show some discoloration if they were washed in the dishwasher. If the
rubber feet are lost, the pan support is likely to damage the
drip tray.

GB 11
Stubborn stains on enamel (pan supports, burner caps, drip trays)
Remove with a non-abrasive cream. Never use scouring powder,
scouring pads, sharp objects or aggressive cleansing agents.
Cleaning removable burner components
Burner parts should not be cleaned in the dishwasher. The parts may
be damaged by the dishwasher detergent! The removable burner
components (including wok) are best cleaned with a mild cleaning
product and a soft cloth. In the case of obstinate stains you can soak the
parts in hot suds. Never use scouring powder, scouring pads,
sharp objects or aggressive cleansing agents.
Brass wok burner parts
A few parts of the work burner are made from brass. It is normal for the
colour of the brass to change as a result of the high temperatures that
occur when cooking with a wok.
Stubborn stains on stainless steel (drip trays)
If spilled, acid fluids and sugary foodstuffs like red cabbage, beetroot,
soy sauce, applesauce and rhubarb may cause the surface to discolour.
Stubborn stains on stainless steel are best removed with a cleaning
agent for stainless steel. Always polish in the direction of the steel
structure to avoid shine spots (this kind of damage is not covered by the
warranty!).
If the above methods do not remove the stains, clean the plate with a
special cleaning agent for stainless steel. Remember to treat the entire
drip tray in order to avoid discolouring. Also, as a follow-up treat the drip
tray with a polish or maintenance agent for stainless steel. Please note
that over the years the surface will slightly discolour.
Keradur® burner bases
The burner bases have a unique Keradur® surface coating. The special
dirt-repelling lacquer has a ceramic filling which makes cleaning easier
and substantially improves the durability of the burners. The burner
bases are best cleaned with a mild cleaning product and a soft cloth.
