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 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.
To guarantee good combustion, the room in
which the appliance is installed must have
a minimum volume of 20 m
3
and must possess
a door that opens outdoors or a window that
can be opened.
Keep the ventilation openings at the back of the
appliance free at all times.
Only use the burner after placing a pot or pan
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. Using
pots and pans which are adapted to the burner size
increases the efficiency of the heat from the gas
flame, thereby reducing power costs.
It is not permitted to use grill stones because the
resulting heat build-up may damage the appliance.
Pots with a diameter of less than 160 mm or more
than 320 mm should not be used. When using large
pots, pay attention to keeping to a minimum
distance of 50 mm between the cooking vessel and
combustible surroundings.
Switch the burner 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 an extractor
hood, always cover the ring with a pot or pan.
Otherwise, parts of the 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
an extractor hood operating in the extraction
mode
The appliance cannot be used during a power
failure.
In the event of malfunctions, please inform your
specialist dealer or your nearest Gaggenau after-
sales service.
