Gaggenau CE 492, Instruction Manual

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 hob for transport damage after

unpacking it. Do not connect the hob if it has been

damaged.
The hob must be installed and connected by an

authorised specialist. No warranty claims can be

lodged for any damage resulting from incorrect

connection. Observe the installation instructions.

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.
Thoroughly clean the appliance before using it for

the first time. This will eliminate any ‘newness’

smells and soiling. 

Pots and pans

Rough pan bases scratch the glass ceramic. 
Avoid cooking on the hob with an empty pan,

especially with enamel or aluminium pans. This

could cause damage to the pan base and the glass

ceramic.
Do not place hot pots or pans on the control panel,

display area or the frame. This could cause

damage. 
Never heat food in aluminium foil or plastic

containers. The material can melt and damage your

hob.
Iridiscent discoloration can be caused by the bases

of some pans. These do not interfere with the

operation of the glass ceramic hob. Remove the

discoloration with glass ceramic cleaner.

Food spills

Milk, sugar and food with a high sugar content

(e.g. jam) damage the glass ceramic surface.

Remove food spills immediately with the glass

scraper. Caution! The glass scraper has a sharp

blade.

Scratches on the glass ceramic

Always keep the hob dry and clean. Salt, sugar and

sand cause scratches on the glass ceramic. Do not

use the hob as a work surface or storage space.

Twist knob

Do not place the twist knob on the cooking zones.

It could be damaged.
Metal parts attached to the underside of the

magnetic twist knob could scratch the glass

ceramic surface. Always keep the twist knob clean.

Hard and pointed objects

Damage can occur if hard or pointed objects fall on

the hob. Do not store such objects above the hob.
