1.2 Operating for the first time

Before 

operating the appliance for the first time,

please pay attention to the following notes:
–  The appliance must be installed and connected 

by a 

specialist 

before it is operated for the first 

time.

– If an 

earthing-pin plug

is fitted on the 

appliance, it must be connected to a socket 
outlet with earthing contact that conforms to 
regulations.

– 

The rating plate 

for this appliance is included 

with the instructions on a separate sheet. Store 
the rating plate in the same location as your 
operating and assembly instructions.

Conscientiously

read through the operating and 

assembly instructions before operating the 
appliance for the first time.

Remove the packaging

from the appliance and 

dispose of it properly.  
Pay attention to the fact that there are accessories 
in the base of the packaging.
Keep packaging elements out of the reach of 
children.

Thoroughly clean

the appliance and 

accessories before using them for the first time. 
This will eliminate any 'newness' smells and 
soiling (see chapter entitled Cleaning and care).

Tip:

you are advised to have the new appliance 

added to any existing glass insurance.

– 

Operation

of the appliance must be 

discontinued immediately if improper use 
produces cracks, breaks or flaws on the cooking 
surface, with the result that live parts can come 
into contact directly or indirectly with seeping 
liquid or if there is a risk of injury. Remove the
mains plug or actuate the corresponding mains 
fuses. Inform your after-sales service.

Before operating 

the appliance for the first time, 

check that the mains connection is in proper 
working order.

1.3 Caution

The appliance

is intended solely for use in the 

household and must not be put to any other uses.

–  Use the appliance to prepare meals only. It must 

not be used to heat up the room in which it is 
installed.

–  The glass-ceramic hob 

must not be used

as a 

storage surface.

– Place a cooking vessel on the corresponding 

hotplate 

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.

Observe caution

with oils and fats. They may 

overheat and burn easily.

After use

, turn all control knobs to 0.

– In the event of malfunctions, first of all check the 

household fuses. If the problem has nothing to 
do with the power supply, please contact your 
specialist dealer or your local Gaggenau after-
sales service. 

– A built-in 

temperature protection

facility 

prevents overheating of the appliance.

– Use of aluminium kitchenware or stainless steel 

kitchenware with aluminium bases may produce 
mother of pearl-coloured stains on your cooker. 
These will not have a detrimental effect on 
functioning of the cooking surface, though.
The appliance is not suitable for preparing 
foodstuffs in aluminium foil or in plastic vessels.

– Use the 

residual heat

to warm up meals, for 

example. This will save you energy.

– Remove any spilt food before opening the cover 

of the appliance.

The appliance cover

must not be closed after 

use until the appliance has cooled down.
