Gaggenau CE 481 612, Use And Care Manual

Page: 5 / 32

Use high heat settings on the cooktop only when
necessary. To avoid bubbling and splattering, heat
oil slowly on no more than a low-medium setting.
Hot oil is capable of causing extreme burns and
injury.
! WARNING: If the frying sensor system is not
working properly, boilovers may result
causing burns, injury and damage to the pan.
WHEN COOKING WITH THE FRYING SENSOR
SYSTEM OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
•
Always use pans of the appropriate size
(∅ 8–9 inches / ∅ 21–23 cm) and type.
Unsuitable pans:
– enamel steel pans
– cast iron pans
– pans with a weight under 2 lbs (800 g)
– pans with uneven bottom
•
Always put the pan in the center of the
heating element
•
Do not place a lid on the pan
•
Never leave frying fat unattended
Cookware safety
Use proper pan size. The use of undersized
cookware will expose a portion of the heating
element to direct contact and may result in ignition
of clothing. Select cookware having flat bottoms
large enough to cover the surface heating unit. This
appliance is equipped with one or more surface
units of different size. Proper relationship of
cookware to heating element will also improve
efficiency.
Cookware not approved for use with ceramic
cooktops may break with sudden temperature
changes. Use only pans that are appropriate for
ceramic cooktops (only certain types of glass,
heatproof glass, ceramic, earthenware or other
glazed utensils are suitable).
Hold the handle of the pan when stirring or turning
food. This helps prevent spills and movement of the
pan.
Always position handles of utensils inward so they
do not extend over adjacent work areas or the edge
of the cooktop. This reduces the risk of fires, spills
and burns.
Cleaning safety
Do not clean the appliance while it is still hot. Some
cleaners produce noxious fumes when applied to a
hot surface. Wet clothes and sponges can cause
burns from steam.
Do not use steam cleaners to clean the cooktop.
Condition of unit
!
WARNING: Do not cook on a broken
cooktop. Cleaning solutions and spillovers
may create a risk of electric shock. Switch off
the circuit breaker in the fuse box if the
ceramic has fractures, flaws or cracks. Call
an authorized servicer.
If the display is not working while an element is
heating up, switch off the circuit breaker in the fuse
box. Call an authorized servicer.
If the cooktop switches itself off and can no longer
be used, it may unexpectedly switch itself on later.
In order to prevent this, switch off the circuit
breaker in the fuse box. Call an authorized servicer.
Do not operate this appliance if it is not working
properly, or if it has been damaged. Contact an
authorized servicer.
Work space / environment
Always have a working smoke detector near the
kitchen.
Have an appropriate fire extinguisher available,
nearby, highly visible and easily accessible near the
appliance.
Do not store or use corrosive chemicals, vapors,
flammables or nonfood products on or in the near of
the appliance. It is specifically designed for use
when heating or cooking food. The use of corrosive
chemicals in heating or cleaning will damage the
appliance and could result in injury.
