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.

on the display panel.  
• Should you wish to accept the stored values:  
tap the symbol timer within 5 seconds. You will  
hear a signal. The previous values are now  
accepted.  
• Failure to follow the above procedure exactly  
results in the stored values being lost.  
Pots and saucepans should always be covered by a  
matching lid. The cooking time is shortened and  
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.  
24  
8. Maintenance

manufacturer’s authorized service agent or contact  
Gaggenau USA on (800) 828-9165. Specify the

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.  
When connecting electrical appliances in the  
proximity of cooking surfaces, make sure that  
connecting cables do not come into contact with hot  
cooking surfaces.  
The installation technician is responsible for the  
correct functioning of the appliance at the place of  
installation. He must instruct the user on how to  
disconnect the appliance from electricity in an  
emergency.  
This appliance may be installed in kitchen  
combinations made of wood or similar combustible  
materials without taking additional measures.
