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.

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.

Switch to the highest cooking level in order to reach the required temperature quickly. Then always switch
back to the lower cooking level.

The cooking levels are identical for all cooking zones.
The values given above must be looked upon as recommended values. The heat required depends not

only on the type and condition of the food, but also the size and contents of the pot.

4. Settings table

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.

5. Energy saving tips

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

6. Cleaning and care

Note: to avoid jeopardising the electrical safety of
the appliance, do not use high-pressure or steam
