Not every malfunction can be ascribed to a defect
of your cooker. If your appliance should not function
properly, search for the fault in the list below. If you
are not successful in remedying the fault with the
aid of the list below, then contact your Gaggenau
after-sales service.

The cooktop does not work

Check that the household fuses for the appliance
are OK. Check if there has been a power cut.

The cooktop cannot be switched on. The main
switch flashes repeatedly when touched.

An object lies on one of the sensor keys (e.g. a dish
cloth). Remove the object and switch on the
cooktop as usual.

The cooktop functions but does not heat up. A
spot lights constantly on the timer display.

The cooktop is on show room mode after
installation.  Disconnect the cooktop from the power
supply for at least 10 seconds. Reconnect the
cooktop and within 3 minutes carry out the
following procedure:

1

Switch on cooktop at main switch

l

. Timer

must be off.

2

Touch the symbol

d

and keep the finger

pressed down. Within 3 seconds touch and
release the main switch

l

. The cooktop

switches off.

3

Remove your finger from the symbol

d

. A signal

will sound. The spot on the timer display goes
off.

The cooktop has switched itself off

The main switch was touched accidentally. Switch
the cooktop back on.

A cooking zone has been in constant operation for
too long. The safety deactivation was activated.
Switch off the cooking zone. It can be switched on
again immediately.

and call the after-sales service if the display

still too hot. Switch off the cooking zones and allow
to cool further.
