1.1 For your safety
You must not operate the appliance if it is
damaged.
The appliance must only be connected by an
authorised specialist, paying attention to the
relevant regulations of the power supply companies
and the regional construction regulations.
Observe the assembly instructions!
When connecting electrical appliances and
devices in the proximity of cooking surfaces and
ovens, make sure that connecting cables do not
come into contact with hot cooking surfaces.
As the user, you yourself are responsible for
maintenance and proper use in the household.
Only ever operate the appliance under
supervision.
Observe caution with oils and fats. Overheated oils
and fats can easily cause fires.
Important: the appliance heats up during
operation. Keep children away.
Do not operate the hotplates without pots and
pans placed on them.
Note: to avoid jeopardising the electrical safety of
the appliance, it is forbidden to use high-pressure
or steam jet cleaning devices.
Isolate the appliance from the mains during
every maintenance operation. To do this, remove
the mains plug or actuate the corresponding fuse.
Repairs must be carried out by authorised
specialists, thus ensuring electrical safety.
No warranty claims can be lodged for any
damage resulting from failure to observe these
instructions.

1. Important notes
CK 236 can be combined with the built-in cooker
EE 214/215 or EE 234/235 and with the built-in
control console SP 212-114 or SP 384-104.

1.2 Operating for the first time
Remove the packaging from the appliance and
dispose of it according to local regulations.
Be careful to remove all accessories from the
packaging. Keep packaging elements and plastic
bags away from children.
This appliance is labelled in accordance
with the European Directive 2002/96/EG
concerning used electrical and electronic
appliances (waste electrical and
electronic equipment – WEEE). The
guideline determines the framework for the return
and recycling of used appliances as applicable.
Check the appliance for transport damage before
installing it.
The appliance must be installed and connected by
an authorised specialist before operation. Before
operating the appliance for the first time, make
sure that the mains connection is in proper working
order.
The serial number of the appliance can be found on
the quality control slip which is included with these
instructions. This quality control slip should be kept,
for guarantee reasons, together with your operating
and assembly instructions.
Read through these instructions attentively before
operating your appliance for the first time.
Thoroughly clean the appliance and accessories
before using them for the first time. This will
eliminate any 'newness’ smells and soiling (see
chapter “Cleaning and care”).
Operation of the appliance must be discontinued
immediately if improper use produces cracks,
breaks or flaws on the cooking surface, with the
result that live parts can come into contact directly
or indirectly with seeping liquid or if there is a risk
of injury. Remove the mains plug or actuate the
corresponding mains fuse. Inform after-sales
service!
1.3 About 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.
Observe 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.
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 appliance is not suitable for warming up
foodstuffs in aluminium foil or in plastic vessels.
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.

2.2 Operating principle
2.3 Energy saving tips
– 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.

with connection to Ø 210 mm (2200 W)
5Residual heat display panel
The glass-ceramic range features SuperQuick
cooking zones, which possess excellent heat
distribution properties.
When it is combined with the EE 234/235, the
supply of power is controlled fully electronically
and continuously at each cooking level. The result
is that the cooking zones light up red to bright red
in the top power range, while illumination can no
longer be recognised visually
in the middle and lower power ranges. When
it is combined with the EE 214/215 or control
consoles, the supply of power is controlled by
automatic, brief switching on and off.
When the control knobs are set to the highest
power stage, an overheating protection facility
makes sure that the glass-ceramic disk is not
destroyed by excessive temperatures. The
SuperQuick cooking zones regulate themselves
automatically by switching briefly to the maximum
safe final temperature.
– 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.
