Congratulations on buying your new

“Vario” appliance.

Before switching your appliance on for the first

time, we would like you to familiarize yourself with

your new appliance. In this manual you will find

important notes on safety and operation. These

will serve to ensure your personal safety and the

lasting value of your appliance.

You will find notes on Page 4 that you ought to

observe before operating the appliance for the

first time.

The chapters entitled “Features" and “Operation"

tell you all about what your appliance can do and

how you operate it.

The chapter entitled “Cleaning and Care" gives

tips on how to keep your appliance looking good.

And now we wish you lots of fun with your

deep fryer.

1. Read All Instructions.

2. To eliminate the risk of burns or fire by reaching

over the heated surface units, cabinet storage

space located above the surface units should be

avoided. If cabinet storage is to be provided, the

risk can be reduced by installing a range hood

that projects horizontally a minimum of 5 inches

(127 mm) beyond the bottom of cabinets.

3. Important instructions

a) Ensure that this appliance is properly

connected and grounded by a qualified elec-

trician.

b) Never use this appliance for warming or hea-

ting the room.

c) Do Not Leave Children Alone – Children

should not be left alone or unattended in area

where appliances are in use. They should ne-

ver be allowed to sit or stand on any part

of the appliance.

d) Wear Proper Apparel – Loose fitting or han-

ging garments should never be worn while

using the appliance.

e) User Servicing – Do not repair or replace

any part of the appliance unless specifically

recomended in the manual. All other servi-

cing should be referred to a qualified techni-

cian.

f) Storage in or on Appliance – Flammable ma-

terials should not be stored in an oven or near

surface units.

g) Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires – Smother

fire or flame or use dry chemical or foam-type

extinguisher.

h) Use Only Dry Potholders – Moist or damp po-

tholders on hot surface may result in burns

from steam. Do not let potholders touch hot

heating elements. Do not use a towel or other

bulky cloth.

i) Never Leave Surface Units Unattended at

High Heat Settings – Boilover causes smoking

and greasy spillovers that may ignite.

k) Use extreme caution when moving the grease

kettle or disposing of hot grease.

4. DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR

AREAS NEAR UNITS. Heating elements may be

hot even though they are dark in color. Areas ne-

ar heating elements may become hot enough to

cause burns. During and after use, do not touch

or let clothing or other flammable materials

contact heating elements or areas near units un-

til they have had sufficient time to cool.

5. CAUTION:

Do not store items of interest to children in cabi-

nets above a range. Children climbing on the

appliance to reach items could be seriosly inju-

red.

6. Note – To avoid jeopardising the electrical sa-

fety of the appliance, it is forbidden to use high-

pressure or steam jet cleaning devices.

Important safeguards

For your safety

Do not operate the appliance if it is damaged.

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.

Observe the assembly instructions!

The appliance could be damaged if connected

wrongly!

When connecting electrical appliances in the

proximity of the deep fryer, make sure that

connecting cables do not come into contact with

hot cooking surfaces.

Only operate the appliance under supervision.

Foodstuffs that are prepared in fat and oil must be

constantly supervised! Caution! Old or much used

fats and oils can ignite easily if they overheat.

Caution: Fire Risk! Do not store any combustible

objects in your appliance.

Caution! The appliance heats up during operation.

Keep children away.

Caution: Fire Risk! Keep naked flames away from

the appliance!

Observe particular caution when working with

water in the proximity of the warm appliance.

Explosion risk!

Caution! Over-greased filters are a fire risk if the

appliance is positioned under an extractor hood or

adjacent to a hob ventilator!

If a fire should break out, switch off the elec-

tricity at fuse point and close the appliance

cover. Smother burning fat or oil. Never

extinguish a deep fryer with water! Switch off

the extractor hood immediately because the

draught will otherwise intensify the fire!

To avoid jeopardising the electrical safety of the

appliance, do not use high-pressure or steam jet

cleaning devices.

Isolate the appliance from the mains during every

maintenance operation. To do this, remove the

mains plug or switch off the corresponding fuse.

Repairs must be carried out by authorised

specialists, thus ensuring electrical safety.

As the user, you are responsible for maintenance

and proper use in the household. No warranty

claims can be lodged for any damage resulting

from failure to observe these instructions.

Note:

the appliance cover must not be closed until the

appliance has cooled down completely. Do not

operate the appliance with the cover closed! Heat

development may damage the appliance and the

cover. Do not use the appliance cover as a surface

for placing objects or for keeping things warm.

Caution! Do not use the glass cover of the steam

cooker for the deep fryer.

Subject to technical change without notice.

1. Important Notes

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.

The appliance must not be operated empty. If the

appliance is switched on empty, the temperature

control will switch off the appliance automatically.

Turn the “Temperature" control knob to the OFF

position. Wait until the appliance has cooled down.

Only use the intended deep frying baskets.

The deep frying oil/fat will foam over if foodstuffs

are too wet or if excessive quantities are inserted.

Risk of burns!

Keep ventilation openings open (doors, extractor

hoods and windows).

Top up oil or fat as soon as it is below the minimum

level (bottom marking). Caution: there is a fire

risk if the oil/fat level should drop below the

bottom marking!

Switch off the appliance after use.

The door(s) of the base cabinet must be locked if

there are small children in your household. This

reduces the risk of burns.

Fire risk! Clean your appliance at regular intervals

and change the oil/fat regularly. Old/soiled fat must

be replaced if it becomes brown, has an unpleasant

smell and/or smokes prematurely (340 - 350 °F). Old

oil/fat tends to foam over easily and has a lower

ignition temperature.

Built-in overheating protection prevents overheating

of the appliance and of surrounding kitchen

furniture.

In the event of malfunction, first check your house-

hold 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.

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.

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 elimi-

nate any 'newness’ smells and soiling (see chapter

“Cleaning and care”).
