They could catch on fire. Cooking fires can spread if extinguished incorrectly.
▶
Never use water on cooking fires. WARNING - TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A GREASE FIRE
▶
Never Leave Surface Units Unattended at High Set-
tings - Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers
that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or medium set-
tings.
▶
Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or
when flambeing food (i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries Ju-
bilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambe’).
▶
Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be
allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.
▶
Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate
for the size of the surface element.
▶
Do not flambé under the extractor hood or work with a
naked flame. When switched on, the extractor hood
draws flames into the filter. There is a risk of fire due to
deposits on the grease filter! Flames can be drawn into the ventilation system.
▶

3.1 Disposal of packaging

The packaging materials are environmentally compatible and can be recycled.
▶
Sort the individual components by type and dispose of them separately.

3.2 Saving energy

If you follow these tips, your appliance consumes less en­ergy.
Select a cookware diameter that matches the cooking zone. Center the cookware on the cooking zone.
Tip:Cookware manufacturers usually state the top diame­ter of the cookware. The diameter of the cookware base is usually smaller.
a
The energy is targeted at the cookware. If you use cookware that is too small, energy is wasted. If the cookware is too large, much energy is used to heat up the cookware.
Close cookware with a fitting lid.
a
Cooking without a lid consumes more energy.
Only lift the lid when necessary.
a
If you lift the lid, a lot of energy can escape.
Use a glass lid.
a
If you use a glass lid, you can look inside the cookware without lifting the lid.
Use cookware with a solid flat bottom.
a
Curved cookware bases increase energy consumption.
Use a cookware size that matches the amount of food you want to cook.
a
Cookware with little content consumes a lot of energy.
Cook with a small amount of water.
a
More water requires more energy to heat it up.
Select a lower power level as soon as possible. Select a suitable power level to continue cooking.
a
For ongoing cooking a lower power level is sufficient.
Induction cooking

4 Induction cooking

Induction cooking

4.1 Advantages of induction cooking

Induction cooking is fundamentally different from tradi­tional cooking methods, since the heat builds up directly in the cookware. This offers numerous advantages:
¡ Saves time when boiling and frying. ¡ Saves energy. ¡ Easier to care for and clean. Spilled food does not burn
on as quickly.
9
Page 10
en-us Induction cooking
¡ Controlling the heat supply and safety; the cooktop in-
creases or decreases the heat supply as soon as the
user changes the setting. The induction cooking zone
stops the heat supply when you remove the cookware
from the cooking zone without you having to switch it off
first.

4.2 Cookware

Only ferromagnetic cookware is suitable for induction cooking. For example:
¡ Enameled steel cookware ¡ Cast iron cookware ¡ Special stainless steel cookware that is suitable for in-
duction cooking You can find additional information on which items of
cookware are suitable for the induction cooking under In order to achieve a good cooking result, ensure that the ferromagnetic area of the cookware base corresponds to the size of the cooking zone. If the cookware is not de­tected on a cooking zone, place it on a cooking zone with a smaller diameter.
If you use the FlexZone as a single cooking zone, you can use larger cookware that is particularly suited to this zone. You can find additional information about the positioning of the appliances under .
Unsuitable cookware
Never use flow plates or cookware made of the following:
¡ Thin-walled normal steel ¡ Glass ¡ Clay ¡ Copper ¡ Aluminum
Composition of the cookware base
The material(s) from which the base of the cookware is made may affect the cooking result. Cookware made of materials that distribute heat evenly in the pot, such as saucepans with a stainless steel sandwich base, save time and energy. You should preferably use cookware with a flat base be­cause uneven cookware bases impair the heat supply.
No cookware/cookware of an unsuitable size
If you do not place cookware on the selected cooking zone or the cookware is made of an unsuitable material or is not the right size for the cooking zone, the display for the cooking zone flashes. To make the display go out, place a suitable item of cookware on the cooking zone. If you do not place a suitable item of cookware on the cooking zone within 90 seconds, it automatically switches off.
The base of many items of induction cookware is not fully ferromagnetic: If you use large cookware with a smaller ferromagnetic base, only the area that is ferromagnetic heats up. As a result, the heat is not distributed evenly. The temperature of the non ferromagnetic area may therefore be too low for cooking.
Cookware bases that contain aluminum reduce the ferro­magnetic area. This may reduce the output and the cook­ware will not be detected sufficiently or at all, and will therefore not be heated sufficiently.
10
Empty cookware or cookware with a thin base
Do not heat empty cookware and do not use cookware with a thin base. The cooktop is equipped with an internal safety system. However, empty cookware may heat up so quickly that the "Automatic switch-off" function does not re­spond in good time and an excessive temperature is reached. As a result, the base of the cookware may melt and damage the glass plate. In this case, do not touch the cookware; switch off the cooking zone. If the cooking zone no longer works after cooling down, contact the technical after-sales service.
Cookware detection
Each cooking zone has a minimum limit for the cookware detection and this depends on the ferromagnetic diameter and the material of the base of the cookware. Therefore, use the cooking zone that best corresponds to the diame­ter of the pan base.

loses a lot of liquid during initial frying, is best seared in several small portions.
¡ When you cook with a lid on, turn the heat setting down
as soon as steam escapes between lid and cookware.
¡ Keep the lid on the cookware after cooking until you
serve the food.
¡ When you cook with a pressure cooker, observe the
manufacturer's instructions.
¡ Do not cook food for too long or in too much water. Oth-
erwise the nutrients will be lost. You can use the kitchen timer to set the optimum cooking time.
¡ Do not heat oil or grease until it smokes. You will
achieve healthier cooking results.
¡ When you brown food, fry small portions one after the
other.
¡ Cookware may become very hot during cooking. We
recommend the use of pot holders.

Cooking sensor function
You can use this function to heat, simmer or cook food, cook it in a pressure cooker, or fry it in a pot with sufficient oil at a controlled temperature.
Advantages when using the cooking sensor function:
¡ The cooking zone only heats up in order to maintain the
temperature. This saves energy. Oil or fat will not over­heat.
¡ The temperature is continuously monitored. This pre-
vents the food from spilling over and you do not need to change the temperature level.
¡ The cooking sensor functions tell you when the water or
oil has reached the optimal temperature for adding the food; in some cases the food should be added at the beginning, refer to the cooking chart.
General notes for using the cooking sensor function:
¡ Use cookware with a thick, flat base. Do not use cook-
ware with a thin or domed base.
¡ Fill the cookware so that the contents reach high
enough to cover the cooking sensor's silicone patch.
¡ If you are frying with little oil using a frying pan, always
use the frying sensor function.
¡ Position the cookware in such a way that the wireless
cooking sensor is pointing towards the outer side of the cooktop.
¡ Do not remove the wireless cooking sensor from the
cookware during cooking.
¡ Remove the wireless sensor from the cookware after
cooking. Take care as you do so because the wireless cooking sensor can become very hot.
¡ If no signal sounds, ensure that there is a lid on the con-
tainer. For optimum operation of the cooking sensor, we recommend always using a lid, except when you use the function for deep-fat frying with a large amount of oil in a pot at 340°F (170°C).
¡ Never leave oil unattended when it is being heated. Use
oil that is suitable for deep-fat frying. Do not mix differ­ent cooking fats and oils, such as oil and lard. These mixtures may foam up when they become hot.
¡ If you are not satisfied with the cooking result use more
water the next time, for example when boiling potatoes. Maintain the recommended temperature level.

STATEMENT OF LIMITED PRODUCT WARRANTY

PRODUCT WARRANTY
STATEMENT OF LIMITED PRODUCT WARRANTY
15.1 What this warranty covers & Who it ap­plies to
The limited warranty provided by BSH Home Appliances (“Gaggenau“) in this Statement of Limited Product War­ranty applies only to the Gaggenau appliance sold to you (“Product“), provided that the Product was purchased:
¡ For your normal, household (non-commercial) use, and
has in fact at all times only been used for normal house­hold purposes.
¡ New at retail (not a display, "as is", or previously re-
turned model), and not for resale, or commercial use.
¡ Within the United States or Canada, and has at all times
remained within the country of original purchase.
The warranties stated herein apply to the original pur­chaser of the product warranted herein and to each suc­ceeding owner of the product purchased for ordinary home use during the term of the warranty.

en-us STATEMENT OF LIMITED PRODUCT WARRANTY
Please make sure to return your registration card; while not necessary to effectuate warranty coverage, it is the best way for Gaggenau to notify you in the unlikely event of a safety notice or product recall.

15.2 How long the warranty lasts

Gaggenau warrants that the Product is free from defects in materials and workmanship for a period of seven hundred and thirty (730) days from the date of the original pur­chase. The foregoing timeline begins to run upon the date of original purchase, and shall not be stalled, tolled, ex­tended, or suspended, for any reason whatsoever. This Product is also warranted to be free from cosmetic de­fects in material and workmanship (such as scratches of stainless steel, paint/porcelain blemishes, chip, dents, or other damage to the finish) of the Product, for a period of sixty (60) days from the date of purchase or closing date for new construction. This cosmetic warranty excludes slight color variations due to inherent differences in painted and porcelain parts, as well as differences caused by kitchen lighting, product location, or other similar fac­tors. This cosmetic warranty specifically excludes any dis­play, floor, “As Is”, or “B” stock appliances.
15.3 Repair/replace as your exclusive rem­edy
During this warranty period, Gaggenau or one of its autho­rized service providers will repair your Product without charge to you (subject to certain limitations stated herein) if your Product proves to have been manufactured with a defect in materials or workmanship. If reasonable attempts to repair the Product have been made without success, then Gaggenau will replace your Product (upgraded mod­els may be available to you, in Gaggenau’s sole discre­tion, for an additional charge). Nothing in this warranty re­quires damaged or defective parts to be replaced with parts of a different type or design than the original part. All removed parts and components shall become the property of Gaggenau at its sole option. All replaced and/or re­paired parts shall assume the identity of the original part for purposes of this warranty and this warranty shall not be extended with respect to such parts. Gaggenau's sole lia­bility and responsibility hereunder is to repair manufac­turer-defective Product only, using a Gaggenau authorized service provider during normal business hours. For safety and property damage concerns, Gaggenau highly recom­mends that you do not attempt to repair the Product your­self, or use a non-authorized service provider; Gaggenau will have no responsibility or liability for repairs or work performed by a non-authorized service provider. Autho­rized service providers are those persons or companies that have been specially trained on Gaggenau products, and who possess, in Gaggenau's opinion, a superior repu­tation for customer service and technical ability (note that they are independent entities and are not agents, partners, affiliates or representatives of Gaggenau). Notwithstand­ing the foregoing, Gaggenau will not incur any liability, or have responsibility, for the Product if it is located in a re­mote area (more than 100 miles from an authorized ser­vice provider) or is reasonably inaccessible, hazardous, threatening, or treacherous locale, surroundings, or envi­ronment; in any such event, if you request, Gaggenau would still pay for labor and parts and ship the parts to the nearest authorized service provider, but you would still be
fully liable and responsible for any travel time or other spe­cial charges by the service company, assuming they agree to make the service call.

15.4 Out of warranty product

Gaggenau is under no obligation, at law or otherwise, to provide you with any concessions, including repairs, pro­rates, or Product replacement, once this warranty has ex­pired.

15.5 Warranty exclusions

The warranty coverage described herein excludes all de­fects or damage that are not the direct fault of Gaggenau, including without limitation, one or more of the following:
¡ Use of the Product in anything other than its normal,
customary and intended manner (including without limi­tation, any form of commercial use, use or storage of an indoor product outdoors, use of the Product in conjunc­tion with air or water-going vessels).
¡ Any party's willful misconduct, negligence, misuse,
abuse, accidents, neglect, improper operation, failure to maintain, improper or negligent installation, tampering, failure to follow operating instructions, mishandling, unauthorized service (including selfperformed "fixing" or exploration of the appliance's internal workings).
¡ Adjustment, alteration or modification of any kind. ¡ A failure to comply with any applicable state, local, city,

¡ Ordinary wear and tear, spills of food, liquid, grease ac-
cumulations, or other substances that accumulate on, in, or around the Product.

and factors, including without limitation, rain, wind, sand, floods, fires, mud slides, freezing temperatures, excessive moisture or extended exposure to humidity, lightning, power surges, structural failures surrounding the appliance, and acts of God.
In no event shall Gaggenau have any liability or responsi­bility whatsoever for damage to surrounding property, in­cluding cabinetry, floors, ceilings, and other structures or objects around the Product. Also excluded from this war­ranty are Products, on which the serial numbers have been altered, defaced, or removed; service visits to teach you how to use the Product, or visits where there is noth­ing wrong with the Product; correction of installation prob­lems (you are solely responsible for any structure and set­ting for the Product, including all electrical, plumbing or other connecting facilities, for proper foundation/flooring, and for any alterations including without limitation cabi­netry, walls, floors, shelving, etc.); and resetting of break­ers or fuses TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, THIS WARRANTY SETS OUT YOUR EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES WITH RE­SPECT TO PRODUCT, WHETHER THE CLAIM ARISES IN CONTRACT OR TORT (INCLUDING STRICT LIABIL­ITY, OR NEGLIGENCE) OR OTHERWISE. THIS WAR­RANTY IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. ANY WARRANTY IMPLIED BY LAW, WHETHER FOR MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR OTH­ERWISE, SHALL BE EFFECTIVE ONLY FOR THE PE­RIOD THAT THIS EXPRESS LIMITED WARRANTY IS EFFECTIVE. IN NO EVENT WILL THE MANUFACTURER

BE LIABLE FOR CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, INCIDEN­TAL, INDIRECT, "BUSINESS LOSS", AND/OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, LOSSES, OR EXPENSES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION TIME AWAY FROM WORK, HO­TELS AND/OR RESTAURANT MEALS, REMODELLING EXPENSES IN EXCESS OF DIRECT DAMAGES WHICH ARE DEFINITIVELY CAUSED EXCLUSIVELY BY GAGGENAU, OR OTHERWISE. SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDEN­TAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, AND SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS, SO THE ABOVE EX­CLUSIONS OR LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. THIS WARRANTY GIVES YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS, AND YOU MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER RIGHTS WHICH VARY FROM STATE TO STATE.
