Important safeguards
4. a) Use Proper Pan Size – This appliance is
equipped with one or more surface units of
different size. Select utensils having flat
bottoms large enough to cover the surface
unit heating element. The use of undersized
utensils will expose a portion of the heating
element to direct contact and may result in
burned clothing. Proper relationship of utensil
to burner will also improve efficiency.
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.
b) Never Leave Surface Units Unattended at
High Heat Settings – Boilover causes smoking
and greasy spillovers that may ignite.
c) Glazed Cooking Utensils – Only certain types
of glass, glass / ceramic, ceramic, earth-
enware or other glazed utensils are suitable
for rangetop service without breaking due to
the sudden change in temperature.
d) Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and
Not Extend Over Adjacent Surface Units –
To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of
flammable materials, and spillage due to
unintentional contact with the utensil, the
handle of a utensil should be positioned so
that it is turned inward, and does not extend
over adjacent surface units.
3. Important instructions
a) Ensure that this appliance is properly
connected and grounded by a qualified
electrician.
b) Never use this appliance for warming or
heating 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
never be allowed to sit or stand on any part
of the appliance.
d) Wear Proper Apparel – Loose fitting or
hanging 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
servicing should be referred to a qualified
technician.
f) Storage in or on Appliance – Flammable
materials should not be stored in an oven or
near surface units.
5. a) Do Not Cook on Broken Cooktop – If cooktop
should break, cleaning solutions and
spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop
and create a risk of electric shock.
Contact a qualified technician immediately.
b) Clean Cooktop With Caution – If a wet
sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot
cooking area, be careful to avoid steam burn.
Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if
applied to a hot surface.
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
potholders 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.
3
6. CAUTION:
8. The surface temperature of the glass top is pro-
tected by high limit thermostats built into each
individual burner. The maximum temperature of
the glass ceramic top is rated at 1 080° F. The
thermal protectors are rated at 939° F to cycle
the burner off in order to protect the glass top.
Do not store items of interest to children in
cabinets above a range. Children climbing on
the appliance to reach items could be seriously
injured.
7. DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS
NEAR UNITS – Surface units may be hot even
though they are dark in color. Areas near surface
units 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 until they have had
sufficient time to cool.
Even on the highest setting, it is normal for the
burner to cycle on and off momentarily as the
thermostat senses a high heat condition. This
could be caused by size of the cooking utensil,
composition and gauge of materials in the
construction of the utensil and, most importantly,
the amount of surface contact between the glass
surface and the cooking utensil. Uneven
surfaces on cookware can cause premature
cycling of the high heat limit protection system.
9. Note – To avoid jeopardising the electrical
safety of the appliance, it is forbidden to use
high-pressure or steam jet cleaning devices.

the energy use reduced.
Energy saving tips
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.

7. Cleaning and care
Iridiscent discoloration can be caused by the bases
of some pots. These do not interfere with the
operation of the glass ceramic cooktop.
Note: to avoid jeopardising the electrical safety of
the appliance, do not use high-pressure or steam
jet cleaning devices – risk of short circuits!
Please refer to the enclosed brochure for further
notes on cleaning.
Caution, risk of burns! Before cleaning, please
wait until the cooktop has cooled to hand-
warm.
You can order our blade scraper (Order No.
087670) and the Gaggenau glass ceramic cleaner
(Order No. 098690) from your Gaggenau dealer.
Please thoroughly clean the appliance before
operating it for the first time and after every use.
The frame of the cooktop should be cleaned
using a soft, damp cloth and light soapy liquid or a
commercially available stainless steel cleaner.
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 cooktop. Do not use the blade casing
as it may scratch the glass-ceramic.
Clean the cooktop 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 cooktop with a gleaming, dirt
repellent film. This will help to preserve the
attractive appearance of your cooktop over a long
period of time and make it easier to clean as well.
Do not apply the cleaner while the cooktop 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 cooktop.
Immediately remove such food using the glass
scraper.
