Protecting the environment
In this section, you can find information about saving
energy and disposing of the appliance.
Energy-saving advice
▯ Always use the correct lid for each pan. Cooking
without a lid uses a lot more energy. Use a glass lid
to provide visibility and avoid having to lift the lid.
▯ Use pans with flat bases. Bases that are not flat use
a lot more energy.
▯ The diameter of the pan base must match the size
of the hotplate. Please note: pan manufacturers
usually provide the diameter for the top of the pan,
which is usually larger than the diameter of the pan
base.
▯ Use a small pan for small amounts of food. A large
pan which is not full uses a lot of energy.
▯ Use little water when cooking. This saves energy
and preserves all the vitamins and minerals in
vegetables.
▯ Select the lowest power level to maintain cooking. If
the power level is too high, energy is wasted.
Environmentally-friendly disposal
Cooking with induction
Advantages of induction cooking
Induction cooking is very different from traditional
cooking methods, as heat builds up directly in the item
of 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.
▯ Heat control and safety – the hob increases or
decreases the heat supply as soon as the user
changes the setting. The induction hotplate stops
the heat supply as soon as the cookware is removed
from the hotplate, without having to switch it off
first.
Cookware
Only use ferromagnetic cookware for induction cooking,
such as:
▯ Cookware made from enamelled steel
▯ Cookware made from cast iron
▯ Special induction-compatible cookware made from
stainless steel.
Dispose of packaging in an environmentally-friendly
manner.
This appliance is labelled in accordance with
European Directive 2012/19/EU 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 throughout the EU.
You can check whether the cookware is suitable for
induction cooking. ~ "Suitability test of tableware"
To achieve a good cooking result, the ferromagnetic
area on the base of the pan should match the size of the
hotplate. If a hotplate does not detect an item of
cookware, try placing it on another hotplate with a
smaller diameter.
FP
Some induction cookware does not have a fully
ferromagnetic base:
FP
FP
▯ If the base of the cookware is only partially
ferromagnetic, only the area that is ferromagnetic
will heat up. This may mean that heat will not be
distributed evenly. The non-ferromagnetic area may
not heat up to a sufficient temperature for cooking.
7
Page 8
en Causes of damage
▯ The ferromagnetic area will also be reduced if the
material from which the base of the cookware is
made contains aluminium, for example. This may
mean that the cookware will not become sufficiently
hot or even that it will not be detected.
Unsuitable pans
Never use diffuser hobs or pans made from:
▯ common thin steel
▯ glass
▯ earthenware
▯ copper
▯ aluminium
Pan detection
Each hotplate has a lower limit for pan detection. This
depends on the diameter of the ferromagnetic area of
the cookware and the material from which its base is
made. For this reason, you should always use the
hotplate that best matches the diameter of the base of
the pan.
Automatic detection in two-ring and three-ring
hotplates
These hotplates can detect cookware of different sizes.
Depending on the material and the properties of the
cookware, the hotplate automatically activates the one-,
two- or three-ring hotplate in order for the correct heat
output to be supplied to achieve good cooking results.
Properties of the base of the cookware
The material(s) from which the base of the cookware is
made can affect the cooking result. Using pots and pans
made from materials that distribute heat evenly through
them, such as stainless-steel pans with a three-layer
base, saves time and energy.
Use cookware with a flat base; if the base of the
cookware is uneven, this may impair the heat supply.
No cookware on hotplate/cookware of an unsuitable
size
If no cookware is placed on the selected hotplate, if the
cookware is made of an unsuitable material or if it is not
the right size for the hotplate, the hotplate indicator will
start to flash. To stop the indicator flashing, place
suitable cookware on the hotplate. If it is left flashing for
more than 9 minutes, the hotplate will automatically
switch off.
Empty pans or those with a thin base
Do not heat empty pans, nor use pans with a thin base.
The hob is equipped with an internal safety system.
However, an empty pan may heat up so quickly that the
"automatic switch off" function may not have time to
react and the pan may reach very high temperatures.
The base of the pan could melt and damage the glass on
the hob. In this case, do not touch the pan and switch
the hotplate off. If it fails to work after it has cooled
down, please contact the Technical Assistance Service.

Wok function
The wok function is only to be used with the wok pan
and wok accessories; it is not suitable for other types of
cookware.
Wok and wok accessories
(Not included with the appliance)
Wok pans and wok pan supports can be purchased from
our sales partners Gaggenau.
Because the base of the wok pan is round, it can only be
used with a wok pan support.
Make sure the wok is properly positioned on the wok
pan support when using it for cooking. Always position
the wok pan support in the centre of the hotplate.
Do not heat the wok up when it is empty.
Use a special curved turner (chan) or a long-handled
wooden turner.
Use a ladle to spoon the food out of the pan. The
easiest way to spoon out food cooked in hot fat or large
quantities of sauce is with a skimming ladle.
Use a bamboo steamer for steaming.
To cook with the wok, proceed as follows:
▯ Pour oil into the wok. Groundnut oil and soya oil
work well in woks.
▯ Cut the food into small pieces, but not so small that
they burn easily.
▯ Heat the oil to just below its smoke point; you can
now start sautéing the food.
▯ If you wish to sauté large quantities of food, we
recommend that you do this in batches, otherwise
not all the ingredients will be in contact with the
base of the wok at the same time.
Caution!
The wok and wok accessories become very hot during
cooking. Keep out of reach of children. Do not remove
the wok accessories until the residual heat indicator has
gone out.
Activating
Push in the control knob and turn it to position ¹.
After a few seconds, an audible signal will sound and
¹ will be lit.
The function has now been activated.
Use the control knob to select the heat setting you
require.
Notes
– Use the wok and wok pan support in conjunction
with the wok function only.
– Do not clean the wok pan support in the
dishwasher.
Cooking with the wok
Sautéing is one of the most popular cooking methods to
use with a wok. The ingredients are cut small and
cooked very quickly at a high temperature, with constant
stirring. The large, round-bottomed pan allows you to
stir all the ingredients easily and quickly and turn them
as you would in a normal frying pan. Stirring prevents
the ingredients from sticking to the pan. Any excess fat
collects in the centre of the pan. The meat pores will
close and the meat will remain succulent. Vegetables
will remain crunchy. The flavour and vitamins will be
retained.
Note: The wok allows you to cook more quickly than
with a conventional frying pan. For this reason, all the
ingredients should be prepared before you start
cooking. The order in which the ingredients are added
is equally important: Ingredients that take longer to
cook (high-fibre vegetables such as carrots) should be
added first, and ingredients with a shorter cooking time
(e.g. mushrooms, bean sprouts) should not be added
until the end.
Deactivating
Turn the control knob to position 0. ¹ will go out, the
residual heat indicator will appear and the illuminated
ring around the control knob will flash.
This function has now been deactivated.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Noises
Why can I hear noises while I'm cooking?
Noises may be generated while using the hob, depending on the characteristics of the base of the cookware. These
noises are normal for induction technology. They do not indicate a defect.
Possible noises:
A low humming noise of the kind a transformer makes:
Occurs when cooking at a high heat setting. The noise disappears or becomes quieter when the heat setting is
reduced.
Low whistling noise:
Occurs when the cookware is empty. The noise disappears when water or food is added to the cookware.
Crackling:
Occurs when using cookware made from layers of different material or when using cookware of different sizes and different materials at the same time.The volume of the noise may vary depending on the quantity of food being cooked
and the cooking method.
Fan noise:
The hob is equipped with a fan that automatically switches on at high temperatures. The fan may continue to run even
after you have switched off the hob if the temperature detected is still too high.
Cookware
Which types of cookware can be used with an induction hob?
You can find information on which types of cookware can be used with an induction hob in the section entitled
~ "Cooking with induction"
Why is the hotplate not heating up and why is the heat setting flashing?
The cookware is on a different hotplate to the one that has been switched on.
Check that you have switched on the correct hotplate.
The cookware is too small for the hotplate that is switched on or it is not suitable for induction cooking.
You can find information on the type, size and positioning of the cookware in the section entitled ~ "Cooking with
induction"
Why is it taking so long for the cookware to heat up or why is it not heating up sufficiently despite being on a high heat setting?
The cookware is too small for the hotplate that is switched on or it is not suitable for induction cooking.
You can find information on the type, size and positioning of the cookware in the section entitled ~ "Cooking with
induction"
How do you switch on the two-ring and three-ring cooking zones?
These cooking zones can detect cookware of different sizes. The hotplate automatically activates the one-, two- or threering cooking zone, depending on the material and characteristics of the cookware. This ensures that the right amount of
heat is supplied in order to achieve good cooking results.
Cookware that corresponds to the size of the hotplate and has a fully ferromagnetic base is most suitable. You can find
