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”).

About use

The appliance is intended solely for household use
and must not be put to any other uses.

Use the appliance to prepare meals only. Do not use
the appliance to heat up the room in which it is
installed.

Do not use the cooking surface as space to store
items. Do not place any hot pots on the display
panel.

Place a cooking vessel on the corresponding
cooking zone 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.

Switch off the hob after use.
Iridiscent discoloration can be caused by the bases

of some pots. These do not interfere with the
operation of the glass ceramic hob.

Always keep the cooking area and control panel
dry and clean. The surface can be scratched due to
dirt (e.g. sand grains).

Never heat food in aluminium or plastic containers
as the material can melt and damage your hob.

Built-in overheating protection prevents overheating
of the appliance and of surrounding kitchen
furniture.

If installed above a pyrolytic oven, the overheating
protection may be triggered when the hob is
operated during a pyrolytic cleaning cycle.

In the event of malfunction, first check your
household fuses. If the power supply is in proper
working order, but the appliance is still not
functioning, please inform your specialist dealer or
your nearest Gaggenau after-sales service.

Energy saving tips

The cooking range stores all the set cooking levels
and time values for 15 seconds after it has been
switched off. You are therefore able to retrieve all
the previous values should you switch it off
accidentally.

Proceed as follows:

• Touch the main switch. The previous values flash
on the display panel.

• Should you wish to accept the stored values:
tap the symbol timer within 5 seconds. You will
hear a signal. The previous values are now
accepted.

• Failure to follow the above procedure exactly
results in the stored values being lost.

Pots and saucepans should always be covered by a
matching lid. The cooking time is shortened and
the energy use reduced.

Pay attention to the right size when choosing pots
and pans. The diameters of pots and pans should
correspond to that of the hotplate. When buying
pots, pay attention to the fact that the manufacturer
frequently specifies the top pot diameter, which is
generally larger than the diameter of the base.

We recommend that you use high quality pots and
pans with thick flat bases.

For longer cooking times, it is possible to switch off
the cooking zone before the end of the cooking
time to make use of the residual heat.

Caution, risk of burns! Before cleaning, please
wait until the hob has cooled to hand-warm.

Please thoroughly clean the appliance before
operating it for the first time and after every use.

Immediately remove food remains and burnt-in
residues with the blade scraper. The blade is very
sharp. Risk of injury! Only use the blade on the
glass-ceramic hob. Do not use the blade casing as
it may scratch the glass-ceramic.

Clean the hob with a damp, soft cloth or kitchen
paper and the Gaggenau glass ceramic cleaner or
similar cleaner suitable for glass ceramic cooktops.
Polish with a soft, dry cloth.

The Gaggenau glass ceramic cleaner will coat the
glass ceramic hob with a gleaming, dirt repellent
film. This will help to preserve the attractive
appearance of your hob over a long period of time
and make it easier to clean as well.

Do not apply the cleaner while the hob is still hot as
this may cause stains. Do not use scouring agents,
abrasives or chemically aggressive cleaners (for
example oven cleaner)! Do not use any nitro
polishing agents for cleaning! Do not use any
abrasive sponges either.

Food with a high sugar content (e.g. boiled-over
milk, jam) can damage the surface of your hob.
Immediately remove such food using the glass
scraper.

Iridiscent discoloration can be caused by the bases
of some pots. These do not interfere with the
operation of the glass ceramic hob.

Please refer to the enclosed brochure for further
notes on cleaning.

You can order our blade scraper (Order No.

087670) and the Gaggenau glass ceramic cleaner

(Order No. 098690) from your Gaggenau dealer.
The frame of the hob (only CK 481) should be

cleaned using a soft, damp cloth and light soapy
liquid or a commercially available stainless steel
cleaner.

7. Cleaning and care

Note: to avoid jeopardising the electrical safety of
the appliance, do not use high-pressure or steam
jet cleaning devices – risk of short circuits!

If the appliance does not function correctly, check

Important notes on installation

Pay attention to the "Important notes" on page
3 and 4.

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.

The installation technician is responsible for the
correct functioning of the appliance at the place of
installation. He must instruct the user on how to
disconnect the appliance from electricity in an
emergency.

If the range is not installed over a built-in cooker,
protection against hazardous contact from below
must be ensured after assembly, e.g. by installing
an intermediate shelf that can only be detached
using a tool. The distance between the interme­diate shelf and the worktop in which the range is
recessed must be at least 60 mm.

There must be a gap of at least 20 mm at each side
between the appliance and any flammable walls or
furnishings.

If all poles of the appliances cannot be isolated
from the mains by removing an accessible plug, an
isolating device with a contact gap of at least 3 mm
must be installed (e.g. domestic fuse).

No warranty claims can be lodged for any
damage resulting from failure to observe these
instructions.

appliance is installed must be heat resistant up to
temperatures of 200° F/90° C.

10. Installation

26

Installation CK 481

The appliance is installed in a base cabinet with a
width of more than 900 mm.

• Produce the recess for the hob in your worktop.

Proceed as indicated on the installation sketch.

Note: the hob must not be stuck onto the worktop
with silicone.

• Insert the hob with the control panel front right

into the cut-out and align it.

• Secure the appliance on the worktop with the

clamping screws included. Fasten the clamping
screws as marked by the black arrows in the
picture. The dotted arrows show alternative fixing
points if required by the installation conditions.

Note:

During installation be careful that the front right
clamping screw is fitted to the worktop front side, as
fitting the clamping screw to the side can damage
the appliance base. Do not tighten the clamping
screws too tightly, as a uniform sealing gap should
be left all round.

• Connect the appliance to the electricity.

Check the appliance works correctly.

Removal of the hob

Disconnect the appliance from the electricity. Undo
all the clamping screws. Carefully push out the
appliance by the metal base from below.

Note:

Do not try to lever the hob out of the worktop cut out
using a tool.

Installation CK 482

The appliance is installed in a base cabinet with a
width of more than 900 mm. As the hob is fixed in
place, it has to be easily accessible from below in
case of repairs.

The surface of the installed hob should not be
below the worktop surface.

Through dimensional tolerance of the glass ceramic
plate and the worktop cut out, the width of the joint
may vary.

• Clean and degrease the edge of the cut-out, using

a suitable cleaner (follow the instructions given by
the silicone manufacturer).

• Insert the hob with the control panel front right

into the cut-out and align it. Make sure to leave an
even space all round.

• Secure the appliance to the worktop with the

clamping screws included. Make sure the
appliance is flush with the worktop.

27

CK 482 is suitable for flush mounting into
stone or tiled worktops.

Other worksurfaces (i.e. wood, plastic,
Corian, etc.) are unsuitable.
