Safety instructions  
Your appliance at a glance  
for operation  
GKS 644.0  
Don’t put the appliance into operation until the gas range technician  
who has installed it has explained its functions to you.  
Be sure to study the information in this booklet carefully. You’ll find  
important information about the safety and use of the appliance.  
Please remember that any damage resulting from incorrect operation  
doesn’t fall within the terms of the warranty.  
Using a gas cooker causes heat and humidity to build up in the room  
where the appliance is installed. For this reason your appliance  
should only be operated in a well ventilated room.  
The appliance is only intended for preparing food in private households.  
Don’t install or use the cook top in a mobile home.  
Don’t use the appliance to heat rooms. It’s unsafe.  
The gas supply should be switched off immediately if any problems  
occur during operation.  
Please keep these operating instructions in a safe place.  
Don’t turn the burners on unless there is a pan of food on top of  
them.

Keep the appliance area clean and free from combustible materials,  
gasoline and other flammable liquids.  
For technical reasons regarding the gas supply, don’t use additional  
support burners on the burners.  
Fat and oil which become overheated can ignite automatically. Foods  
prepared using fat and oil (such as fried foods) should never be left  
unattended. Never try to use water to extinguish fat and oil which  
has ignited! Place a lid on the pan and turn off the burner.  
The glass ceramic surface is very tough and can easily withstand  
light to medium impact and loads distributed over large areas. Be  
sure to avoid concentrated loads (i.e. spice bottles) from falling onto  
the surface.

Always keep pressure cookers under constant observation until the  
correct pressure has been reached. First, set the burners to full flame  
then reduce the flame, and follow the instructions provided by the  
pressure cooker manufacturer.  
Caution! During a power failure, the electronic one-hand spark igni-  
tion device doesn’t work. Use matches to light the burner. But be  
careful! Lighting burners with a match can be hazardous!  
Do not cover the ventilation slits of the cook top.  
The maximum depth of cabinets installed above the cooking top is  
330 mm (13 inches).

Operating the appliance  
Pay attention to the safety instructions on page 3!  
Cross support for small pots  
[
The cross support for  
small pots can be placed  
over the simmering burn-  
er and onto the saucepan  
support so small pots can  
be safely used.  
Initial cleaning  
 Clean the cook top with water and some detergent.  
 Wipe it again with clear water and then dry.  
Using the burners  
Using the various burners:  
The high-speed burner is used  
Notes on the right types of saucepans  
- for frying meat before it is roasted,  
- to bring large amounts of liquid to boil.  
The normal burner is used (GKS 644.0 only)  
- to prepare medium-sized portions of food,  
- for frying meat.  
Using the right types of saucepans will help save time and energy.  
Select a saucepan with a diameter that fits the size of the burner.  
The simmering burner is used  
- for braising and keeping food warm  
- for preparing smaller amounts of food  
- for cooking food that tends to burn and stick to the bottom of the pan.  
Recommended saucepan diameters:  
Switching the burners on and off  
High-speed burner:  
22 - 24 cm (about 8-1/2 to 9-1/2 inches)  
Normal burner (GKS 644.0 only): 18 - 20 cm (about 7-8 inches)  
The appliance GKS 324.0 has two burners, and the GKS 644.0 has four  
burners.  
Simmering burner*:  
12 - 16 cm (about 5-6 inches)  
* Smaller saucepans can only be used on the simmering burner by using a  
cross support for small pots.  
Each burner has its own control knob. See the symbols on the operation  
panel to determine which control knob operates which burner.  
The symbols for setting the flame high  , low   and “OFF” () are located  
next to the control knobs for the burners. The flame can be set to any desired  
height between high and low. Begin cooking on full flame and then reduce to  
a lower flame.  
Notes on use:  
- For technical reasons regarding the gas supply, don’t use additional support  
burners on the burners.  
- By using saucepans with a diameter that fits the burners, you’ll reduce the  
risk of damaging or heating up the control knobs by the close proximity of  
the saucepan.  
 To switch on the burner, press down the  
control knob and turn to the left (full  
flame).  
- Don’t use small saucepans on a burner that’s too large. You’ll avoid unnec-  
essary energy consumption.  
 After the flame has ignited, keep the  
control knob depressed for a short time  
(max. 10 seconds), until the flame burns  
automatically when the control knob is  
released.  
- Don’t place an empty saucepan on a lit burner and don’t let food boil dry.  
 To switch off the burner, turn the control  
knob to the “OFF” () setting.  
In case of power outage  
In case of power outage, the electric ignition does not work. If a burner is in  
use, it will continue to work properly and safely.  
To light a burner in case of a power outage, hold a lighted match to the burner  
and then press down the control knob and turn it to the left (full flame). After  
about 5-10 seconds, the flame will burn automatically when the control knob  
is released.
