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.

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

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

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.
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 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.
