1. Important notes
1.1 For your safety
You must not operate the appliance if it is damaged. No warranty claims can be lodged for any damage
resulting from failure to observe these instructions.
When connecting electrical appliances in the proxi-
mity of the appliance, make sure that connecting
leads do not come into contact with hot cooking
surfaces!
Observe caution with oils and fats. They may
overheat and burn easily.
Foodstuffs that are prepared in fat and oil must only
be prepared under constant supervision!
As the user, you yourself are responsible for
maintenance and proper use in the household.
Technical modifications reserved.
Only ever operate the appliance under supervision.
Do not operate the appliance without pots and pans
placed on it. Make sure that all the burner parts are
correctly fitted.
1.2 Operating for the first time
Before operating the appliance for the first time,
please pay attention to the following notes:
Important: The appliance heats up during opera-
tion. Keep children away.
The appliance must only be connected by an
authorised specialist.
Note:
If you have fitted the appliance cover VD 201-010
(special accessory) on the appliance, it must not be
closed until the appliance has cooled down
completely. Do not operate the appliance with the
cover closed! Heat development may damage the
appliance and the cover. Do not use the appliance
cover as a surface for placing objects or for
keeping things warm.
Read through these instructions attentively before
operating the appliance for the first time.
Note:
The rating plate for this appliance is included on
a separate sheet. Keep the rating plate in a safe
place along with your operating and assembly
instructions.
Do not clean the appliance with a steam cleaning
apparatus or with water pressure - risk of short-
circuits!
Remove the packaging from the appliance and
dispose of it properly.
Keep packaging elements away from children.
Isolate the appliance from the mains during every
maintenance operation. To do this, remove the
mains plug or actuate the corresponding fuse.
Close the gas supply.
Thoroughly clean the appliance and accessories
before using them for the first time. This will
eliminate any “newness" smells and soiling
(see chapter entitled “Cleaning and care").

1.3 About use
The appliance is intended solely for use in the
household and must not be put to any other uses.
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.
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 atten-
tion must be paid to good kitchen ventilation.
The natural ventilation openings must be kept
unobstructed. Prolonged use of the appliance
with several or all rings may call for additional
ventilation such as opening a window or a door,
or stronger air extraction by an extractor hood.
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.
In the event of a power failure, 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 90 mm (317/32”) or
more than 220 mm (85/8”) should not be used.
When using larger pots, pay attention to keeping to
a minimum distance of 50 mm (2”) 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.
To guarantee good combustion, the room in
which the appliance is installed must have
a minimum volume of 20 m3 and must possess
a door that opens outdoors or a window that
can be opened.
Only ever use the burners after placing pots and
pans on them. 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.
In the event of malfunctions, 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".
Cooking vessels with curved bottoms, e.g. woks,
must not be used.
It is not permitted to use roasting pans, frying pans
or grill stones heated simultaneously by several
burners because the resulting heat build-up may
damage the appliance.
Preferably use the larger cooking zone for brief
cooking, deep fat frying and brief frying of large
quantities. Preferably use the smaller ring for
soaking, warming up and keeping warm, even
when large quantities are involved.
Switch the burners to the low setting whenever you
remove pots or pans briefly. In this way, you reduce
the risk of burns when working next to naked
flames; you also save gas and reduce pollution.
Whenever the gas hob is fitted under a vapour
extractor hood, always cover the rings with pots

2.3 Operating principle
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 gas hob has 2 normal burners and 2 high-
intensity burners.
All burners have a thermal protection device that
prevents unburned gas from escaping in the open
position.

The total rated thermal load amounts to:
32 000 BTU (9.4 kW) referred to H * (gross calorific
s
value)
28 600 BTU (8.4 kW) referred to H (calorific value)
i
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 on page 12).
The symbols on the control panel mean:
0 Off
High setting

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.

3. Operation
The cooking positions must only be ignited
when all burner parts are fitted. Otherwise,
malfunctions may occur on the ignition unit.
Switching on (Fig. 5):
– Place a pot or a pan on the corresponding
cooking position.
– Fully press in the control knob for the
corresponding cooking position. This activates
the ignition. Keep the control knob pressed!
– 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.
Fig. 5
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.
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.

4. Cleaning and care
Please thoroughly clean the appliance before
operating it for the first time and after every
use.
– Wait until the appliance has cooled down.
– Remove the pot grid.
– Remove the burner cover.

– 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.
– Soak 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.
Fig. 7
– As the result of heat development, slight dis-
coloration can appear on the stainless steel
surface. Do not attempt to scrape away such
discoloration. 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.
Wipe off spilt 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.
You should only clean the control panel and the
control knobs with detergent and a a soft cloth.
Important: Allow the burner covers to cool down
before cleaning them!
To ensure perfect functioning, keep the thermal
sensor and the spark plug clean.
Keep the incoming air openings on the rear of
the panel unobstructed and clean.
When assembling, place the burner cover (1) on
the burner head (2) so that the four tabs on the
bottom edge of the burner cover engage in the
corresponding tabs on the burner head (see Fig. 7).
Place the pot grids back in position.
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.
