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.  
6. CAUTION:  
Do not store items of interest to children in  
cabinets above a range. Children climbing on  
the appliance to reach items could be seriosly  
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.  
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.  
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.

household and must not be put to any other uses.  
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 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.  
Use the residual heat to warm up meals, for  
example. This will save you energy.  
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 range features SuperQuick  
cooking zones. These cooking zones possess  
good heat distribution properties and light up red  
while heating up. The cooking zones are controlled  
electronically and are switched on and off during  
operation. This is done to protect the glass plate  
against overheating and to ensure a uniform supply  
of heat from the hotplate to the saucepan.  
2.2 Operating principle  
The range features an individual residual heat  
display. It lights up in the residual heat display  
panel 8 as a red dot for each cooking zone. When  
this red dot lights up, the cooking zone concerned  
cannot be touched, not even after switching off.  
Fig. 3  
2.3 Energy saving tips  
– Always cook with the lid on. This considerably  
shortens the time needed for cooking.  
– Pay attention to the right size when choosing pots  
and pans. The diameters of pots and pans should  
correspond to that of the hotplate.  
– Kitchenware should consist of suitable material.  
Remember that high-quality ktchenware will help  
to minimise energy consumption.  
– Depending on the experience you have gathered,  
you can switch off the cooking surface at an  
earlier time. You can make use of residual heat  
in this way.
