Quick boil timer

All of the cooking zones have quick boil timer. By 
activating the quick boil timer, the heat setting that is 
set increases to the maximum setting for a few 
minutes. This means that the simmering temperature 
for the food is reached sooner.

Once the boiling time has elapsed, the appliance 
automatically switches to the heat setting that was set. 
You can set the duration of the boiling time.

You cannot activate the quick boil timer in heat setting 
9.

Switching on the quick boil timer

The cooktop must have been switched on at the main 
switch.

1

Select the cooking zone. Do this by pushing the 
magnetic knob in the direction of the 
corresponding cooking zone symbol.

2

Centre the magnetic knob again on the twistpad.

3

Use the magnetic knob to select the required heat 
setting within 5 seconds. 
The selected heat setting lights up on the heat 
setting display.

4

Touch the 

A

 symbol within 5 seconds.

The heat setting display and 

A

 light up alternately.

5

Within 5 seconds, you can change the boiling 
time. The default setting is 3 minutes. You can use 
the magnetic knob to set a time of between 1 and 
20 minutes.

You can set different boiling times for each individual 
cooking position. If you reactivate the quick boil timer, 
the last boiling time that you set remains as the 
presetting.

After the food has been brought to the boil, only the 
ongoing cooking setting remains lit on the display.

Switching off the quick boil timer

You can also switch off the quick boil timer before the 
boiling time has elapsed (e.g. because the food is 
cooking too quickly).

1

Select the cooking zone. 

2

Touch the 

A

 symbol within 5 seconds.

The cooktop switches back to the heat setting 
that was set.

Frying sensor function

The triple circuit cooking zone has a frying sensor 
function. If you operate the hotplate using the frying 
sensor function, the sensor regulates the temperature 
of the pan. The hotplate only heats up when 
necessary. This will save energy. Oil and fat do not 
overheat.

The frying sensor function can only be operated with 
the centre area. When the frying sensor function is 
set, the centre area is switched on automatically.

Notes

Never leave fat unattended while you are heating 
it.

Place the pan in the centre of the cooking zone. 
Make sure that the base of the pan has the 
correct diameter.

Do not place a lid on the pan, otherwise the 
regulator will not work. You can use a spatter 
guard.

Select the min frying setting if you are using olive 
oil?. If you are using an oil or fat that? can be 
heated to high temperatures, e.g. refined? plant 
oils or clarified butter,? you can use all the frying 
settings.

Pans for the frying sensor function

You can buy a frying pan that is perfectly suited to 
frying with the sensor cooking system from your 
specialist electrical retailer or from 
www.gaggenau.com

Availability and online buying possibilities differ 
depending on the country.

The frying settings given below have been adjusted to 
the system pans.

Note: 

The sensor frying system may also work with 

other pans. Test the pans first with low frying settings, 
changing as necessary. The pans may overheat on 
high frying settings.
