in the same place as the operating and assembly
instructions.

accessories before using them for the first time.
This will eliminate any 'newness' smells and
soiling (see chapter entitled “Cleaning and

recommend that you have your new glass-
ceramic cooking range included.
– Operation of the appliance must be dis-
continued immediately if improper use produces
cracks, breaks or flaws on the cooking surface,

or if there is a risk of injury. Remove the mains
plug or actuate the corresponding mains fuse.

1. Important notes

1.3 A out 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.
– Do not use the cooking surface as space to store
items.
– Place a cooking vessel on the corresponding
hotplate before operating it. Do not remove the
cooking vessel until you have switched off the
hotplate. The size of pots and pans should
correspond to the size of the hotplate. This will
save you energy and time.
– O serve caution with oils and fats.
Overheated oils and fats can easily cause fires
(e.g. when cooking French fries).
– Turn all control knobs to 0 after use.
– In the event of malfunctions, first check
your household fuses. If a problem has nothing
to do with the power supply, please contact your
specialist dealer or your responsible Gaggenau
after-sales service.
–Built-in temperature protection prevents
overheating of the appliance and of build-in
furniture.
– Use of aluminium kitchenware or stainless
steel kitchenware with aluminium bases may
produce mother of pearl-coloured stains on your
cooker. These will not have a detrimental effect
on functioning of the cooking surface, though.
– The glass-ceramic cooker additionally features an
individual residual heat display.
The residual heat display indicates that, after
switching off, a cooking zone has still not cooled
down to such an extent that it can be safely
touched. It lights up in the residual heat display
panel as a red dot for each cooking zone.

Use the residual heat to warm up meals, for
example. This will save you energy.

10 SuperQuick cooking zone Ø 180 mm (1800 W)
The glass-ceramic range features SuperQuick
cooking zones. These cooking zones possess
good heat distribution properties and light up red
while heating up. The cooking zones are controlled
electronically and are switched on and off during
operation. This is done to protect the glass plate
against overheating and to ensure a uniform supply
of heat from the hotplate to the saucepan.
The range features an individual residual heat
display. It lights up in the residual heat display
panel 8 as a red dot for each cooking zone. When
this red dot lights up, the cooking zone concerned
cannot be touched, not even after switching off.
– Always cook with the lid on. This considerably
shortens the time needed for cooking.
– Pay attention to the right size when choosing pots
and pans. The diameters of pots and pans should
correspond to that of the hotplate.
– Kitchenware should consist of suitable material.
Remember that high-quality ktchenware will help
to minimise energy consumption.
– Depending on the experience you have gathered,
you can switch off the cooking surface at an
earlier time. You can make use of residual heat
in this way.
