[. . . ] 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. 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. Use cooking utensils that the manufacturer states as being "suitable for gas". 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. 6 2.

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 1 normal burner (front burner) and 1 high-intensity burner (rear burner). All burners have a thermal protection device that prevents unburned gas from escaping in the open position. Off The total rated thermal load amounts to: 16000 BTU (4. 7 kW) referred to Hs* (gross calorific value) 14300 BTU (4. 2 kW) referred to Hi (calorific value) The specified rated load is defined by installation of the fixed nozzles. ­ As the result of heat development, slight discoloration can appear on the stainless steel 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. 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 Wipe off spilt food immediately, thus ensuring that it cannot burn in on the hob. You should only clean the control panel and the control knobs with detergent and a a soft cloth. 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. 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. 10 5.
