1.3 About use
– 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.
– Do not use the cooking surface as space to store
items.
– 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.
Overheated oils and fats can easily cause fires
(e.g. when cooking French fries).
– Turn all control knobs to 0 after use.
– In the event of malfunctions, first check
your household fuses. If a problem has nothing
to do with the power supply, please contact your
specialist dealer or your responsible Gaggenau
after-sales service.
– Built-in temperature protection prevents
overheating of the appliance and of build-in
furniture.
– 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 glass-ceramic cooker additionally features an
individual residual heat display.
The residual heat display indicates that, after
switching off, a cooking zone has still not cooled
down to such an extent that it can be safely
touched. It lights up in the residual heat display
panel as a red dot for each cooking zone.

Use the residual heat to warm up meals, for
example. This will save you energy.
