1.3 About use
The appliance is intended solely for use in the
household and must not be put to any other uses.
Whenever the gas hob is fitted under a vapour
extractor hood, always cover the rings with pots
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
attention must be paid to good kitchen ventilation.
Ventilation openings must be kept unobstructed.
Prolonged use of the appliance may call for
additional ventilation such as opening a window or
a door, or stronger air extraction by an extractor
hood.
Note: the appliance must not be combined with
hob ventilators (VL 041/051).
After igniting, keep the control knob pressed for
around 5-8 seconds more. The thermal sensor
must be heated for 5-8 seconds before the knob
can be released.
To guarantee good combustion, the room in
which the appliance is installed must have a
minimum volume of 10 m3 and must possess a
door that opens outdoors or a window that can
be opened.
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.
Do not operate the cooking position without a pot
or a pan or a wok placed 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. 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.
Pots with a diameter of less than 100 mm (4”) or
more than 320 mm (12 1/2”) should not be used.
When using larger pots, pay attention to keeping to
a minimum distance of 100 mm (4”) 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.
It is not permitted to use grilling stones because the
resulting build-up of heat may damage the
appliance.
In the event of malfunctions, contact your
specialist dealer or your responsible Gaggenau
after-sales service.
Switch the burners to the low setting whenever you
remove pots or pans briefly, thus saving gas and
reducing pollution.
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".

The appliance features one-hand operation. That is
to say, the ignition is activated when the control
knob is pressed briefly.
2.3 Operating principle
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 burner has a thermal protection device that
prevents unburned gas from escaping in the open
position.

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.
– Press in the control knob fully and keep it
pressed. This activates the ignition.
– 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
Once the flame is burning, keep the control knob
pressed for another 5-8 seconds. The thermal
sensor must be heated for 5-8 seconds before the
knob can be released.
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.
1
– Remove the burner cover and the burner ring.
– 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.
– 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.

7. Practical tips
7.1 The wok and accessories
7.2 Cooking in the wok
You can fry, steam, deep fry, stew and cook normally.
(not included in the scope of delivery)
– The “original wok" is the ideal wok for your gas
cooker.
Stir frying is the special cooking method for the
wok. Ingredients cut into small pieces are cooked
as briefly as possible under strong heat and
constant stirring. In the large, round pan everything
can be stirred and turned faster and with greater
ease than in a conventional frying pan. Thanks to
stirring, ingredients do not burn onto the pan.
Surplus oil drains off towards the middle. In next to
no time, you obtain delicious roasted foods, the
pores in meat close and fish becomes nices and
juicy. Vegetables stay crispy, and aromas and
healthy vitamins are retained.
– The wok looks like a hollow semisphere with a
long handle or wooden handle. It has a rounded
base and slanted sides. The thin steel passes the
heat swiftly to the inside, but soon cools down
again as soon as the flame is set to a lower
setting. Therefore, ingredients cannot overcook.
– The diameter is between 35 - 40 cm / 14 - 15 3/4”
for 4 persons.
– Woks may consist of various materials. Cast-iron
woks are more stable and keep the heat longer.
Important: the cooking time is so short that all
ingredients should be ready for cooking before you
begin. The correct sequence is also important. First
place the ingredients with the longest cooking time
in the wok. For example, these are hard-fibred
vegetables such as carrots. Soft vegetables such as
mushrooms or sprouts are added later.
– They have a round, high cover. Therefore, they
are also capable of steaming and stewing.
– The semicircular grid is hooked in on the edge of
the wok. On it, you can steam ingredients, you
can allow deep fried foods to drip or you can
keep browned foods warm.
Proceed as follows:
– Use the chan (rounded spatula) or the wooden
pan reversing implement.
– Pour sufficient oil into the wok to coat the surface.
We advise you to use peanut or or soya oil.
– Use a ladle to remove foods.
– Heat up the oil to just before the smoking point;
only then begin with stir frying.
– Use the strainer to lift deep fried foods from the
fat or large pieces out of a sauce.
– Cut the food into pieces of equal size, but not too
small, thus making sure they will not burn.
– You can use bamboo baskets for steaming.
– If you are cooking larger quantities, work with
portions as otherwise not all of the food will reach
the hot base of the wok.
– Meals that are ready ca be kept warm on a
minimal flame. Clean the wok after every use and
rub its inside with oil. This will prevent rusting.
