Gaggenau VG 232 234 AU, Installation Instructions

Fitting the appliance

1.

Mark the centre of the recess exactly. Fit the short mounting rail 

to the front of the recess and the long mounting rail to the rear 

of the recess. Make sure the lugs of the mounting rails lie on 

the worktop. The centre marking on the mounting rails must be 

precisely flush with the centre marking of the recess.

Note: 

when fitting the appliance in a stone worktop glue on the 

mounting rails with a temperature-resistant two-component 

adhesive (metal on stone).

2.

For combination with the appliance cover VD 201: secure the 

appliance cover on the appliance before installation (refer to 

the installation manual of VD 201).

3.

Lower the appliance into the cut-out. The snap-in pins on the 

appliance must lie exactly on the catch springs. Firmly press 

the appliance into the cut-out. 

The pins on the appliance must 

snap into the catch springs.

Removing the appliance

Disconnect the appliance from the power and the gas supply. 

Push out the appliance from below.

Caution!

Risk of damage! Do not lever out the appliance from above.

Gas connection

The supply connection point shall be accessible with the 

appliance installed.
Using the R½'' (for appliance side) connection elbow provided, 

connect the appliance with the associated gasket to a fixed 

connection pipe. For natural gas the regulator must be 

connected.

If using a flexible connection

This appliance is approved for connection by a CLASS B hose. 

Connection is in compliance with AS/NZS 5601.1

There are two ways to carry out the connection to the main gas 

line:

■

A: The hotplate can be connected with rigid pipe.

■

B: Flexible Hose: If installing with a hose assembly, install with 

a hose assembly that complies with AS/NZS 1869 (AGA 

Approved), 10 mm ID, class Bor D, no more than 1.2 m long 

and in accordance with AS/NZS 5601.1. Ensure that the hose 

does not contact the hot surfaces of the hotplate, oven, 

dishwasher or any other appliance that may be installed 

underneath or next to the hotplate. The hose should not be 

subjected to abrasion, kinking or permanent deformation and 

should be inspected along its entire length with the cooktop in 

the installed position. Unions compatible with the hose fittings 

must be used and all connections tested for gas leaks.

Before leaving - check all connections for gas leaks with soap 

and water. DO NOT use a naked flame for detecting leaks. 

Ignite all burners both individually and concurrently to ensure 

correct operation of gas valves, burners and ignition. Turn gas 

taps to low position and observe stability of the flame for each 

burner individually and all together.
Adhere the duplicate data plate to an accessible location near 

to the cook top. When satisfied with the cook top, please 

instruct the user on the correct method of operation. In case the 

appliance fails to operate correctly after all checks have been 

carried out, refer to the authorised service provider in your area.

Electrical connection

Check that the appliance has the same voltage and frequency 

as the electrical installation system.
The hob is delivered with a mains cable and 3 pin moulded 

plug.
Only connect the appliance to sockets which have been fitted 

and earthed according to regulations.
The appliance corresponds to type Y: the mains connection 

cable must only be replaced by the after-sales service. Check 

the cable type and minimum cross section.

Nozzle table

Conversion to another type of gas

This gas hob corresponds to the categories specified on the 

rating plate. It is possible to convert the appliance to any of the 

gases listed on the plate by changing the nozzles. The 

modification kit can be ordered via our after-sales service. 

Depending on the model the parts required may beincluded in 

the scope of delivery. 
The conversion must be carried out by an authorised person.
Before carrying out the conversion, turn off the electricity and 

gas supply.

Changing the low burn nozzle – fig. 5:

1.

Remove the cover from the underside of the appliance under 

the gas valves. The low burn nozzle is located in the gas valve 

and is screwed in from below.

2.

Unscrew the nozzle and insert the new nozzle as specified in 

the low-setting nozzle table. The nozzle must be screwed in 

fully.

3.

Fit the cover cap again.

Changing the full burn nozzle – fig. 6:

1.

Remove the pan supports and burner lids.

2.

Change the nozzles. Care should be taken to ensure that the 

nozzles do not break off when screwed in or out.

3.

Screw the new nozzles in as far as they will go to achieve a 

good seal.

4.

Replace the pan supports and burner lids, checking that they 

are correctly positioned.

If it should be necessary to correct the low-setting nozzle as the 

result of deviating gas types and pressure, the flow rate can be 

increased by turning to the left.
These burners do not require the primary air to be adjusted.

Checking functions after the conversion:

The flames are adjusted correctly if no yellow tips are visible 

and if they do not go out when switching over swiftly from the 

high to the low setting.

Note: 

stick the adhesive label included with the nozzle set over 

the rating plate of the appliance to document the changeover to 

a different gas type.
