This hob is intended only for domestic use. Only
use the hob to prepare meals. Do not use the hob to
heat up the room in which it is installed, the hob can
overheat.
Connecting cables from electrical appliances must
not touch the hot cooking surface. This could cause
damage to the cable insulation and the hob.
Caution, risk of fire! Never place inflammable
items on the hob.
Caution, risk of fire! Do not store any combustible
items, or substances that are sensitive to high

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

recycling of used appliances as applicable.
Thor
oughly clean the appliance before using it for
the first time. This will eliminate any ‘newness’
smells and soiling.
Pots and pans

Avoid cooking on the hob with an empty pan,
e
specially with enamel or aluminium pans. This
could cause damage to the pan base and the glass
ceramic.
Do not place hot pots or pans on the control panel,
display area or the frame. This could cause
damage.
Never heat food in aluminium foil or plastic
containers. The material can melt and damage your
hob.
Iridiscent discoloration can be caused by the bases
of some pans. These do not interfere with the
operation of the glass ceramic hob. Remove the
discoloration with glass ceramic cleaner.

Main switch
T
he electronics in the control panel are switched on
using the main switch. Touch the l symbol until the
cooking zone displays show 0. Now the hob is
ready for use.
Touch the l symbol until the cooking zone displays
go off. All the cooking zones are switched off. The
residual heat indicator remains lit until the cooking
z
ones have cooled sufficiently.
Note: The hob switches off automatically if all the
cooking zones have been switched off for more
than 10 seconds.
Control panels
When you touch a symbol, the respective function
is activated. Every input is confirmed by an audible
signal.
Note: The settings remain unchanged if several
symbols are touched briefly. You can therefore
easily mop up spills on the control panel.
No te : Always keep the control panels clean and
dry. Moisture and dirt may impair function.
Twist pad with magnetic twist knob
The twist pad is the area in which you select the
cooking zones with the twist knob and can set heat
settings. The twist knob automatically centres itself
in the twist pad.
The twist knob is magnetic and is placed on the
twist pad. The cooking zone is activated by sliding
t
he twist knob in the dir
ction of the corresponding
cooking zone symbol. You can set the heat setting
by turning the twist knob.
You can remove the twist knob. This makes
cleaning easier
.
If you remove the twist knob when the hob is in
operation, all the cooking zones switch off after
3 seconds.
m
Caution! If you place a metal object on the
twist pad within 3 seconds, the hob may
continue t
o heat up. For this reason, always
switch off the hob using the main switch.
Storing the twist knob
T
here is a strong magnet in the twist knob. Do not,
therefore, place it near magnetic data carriers, e.g.
video cassettes, disks, credit cards and cards with
magnetic strips. These could be destroyed.
Malfunctions to televisions and monitors may occur.
m
Caution! For persons who wear electronic
implants such as a pacemaker or insulin
p
ump.
Implants could be affected by magnetic fields.
Do not carry the twist knob in the pockets of
your clothing. Keep the twist knob at least
10 cm away from a pacemaker.
Cooking zone extension
The size of the front left and the middle cooking
zones can be altered by activating the cooking zone
extension.
Both right cooking zones convert together with an
additional zone, to create an oval roasting zone
especially suitable for the Gaggenau cast roaster.
Residual heat display
The residual heat display appears on the display of
the relevant cooking zone after switching off. The
moving zero in the display indicates that, after
switching off, a cooking zone has still not cooled
down to such an extent that it can be safely
touched.
m
Caution, risk of burns! Only touch cooking
zones af
ter the residual heat display has gone
off.
m
Caution, risk of burns! The residual heat
display stays off after a power cut. The
cooking zones may still be hot.
