T o 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 cooktop generates heat and
humidity in the room where it is installed. This is
why attention 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.
T o guarantee good combustion, the room in
which the appliance is installed must have
a minimum volume of 1240 cft (35 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 ever use the burners after placing pots
and pans on them. Do not heat up any empty
pots or pans.
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.
Pots with a diameter of less than 90 mm (3 1 /
2
´ ´ ) or
more than 280 mm (11 ´ ´ ) / 320 mm (12 1 /
2
´ ´ ) for
the large (WOK) burner should not be used.
When using large pots, pay attention to keeping to
a minimum distance of
50 mm (2 ´ ´ ) between the
cooking vessel and combustible surroundings.
A minimum distance of
50 mm (2 ´ ´ ) must be
observed between the control knob / control panel
and the pot or pan. The pot or pan should not touch
the control panel.
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 open flames;
you also save gas and reduce pollution.
Whenever the gas hob is fitted under an extractor
hood, always cover the rings with pots or pans.
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, contact your specialist
dealer or Gaggenau USA on (800) 828-9165.
