Main switch
The electronics in the control panel are switched on
using the main switch. Touch the
l
symbol until the
cooking zone displays show
0
. Now the hob is
ready for use.
Touch the
l
symbol until the cooking zone displays
go off. All the cooking zones are switched off. The
residual heat indicator remains lit until the cooking
zones have cooled sufficiently.
Note: The hob switches off automatically if all the
cooking zones have been switched off for more
than 10 seconds.
Control panels
When you touch a symbol, the respective function
is activated. Every input is confirmed by an audible
signal.
Note: The settings remain unchanged if several
symbols are touched briefly. You can therefore
easily mop up spills on the control panel.
Note : Always keep the control panels clean and
dry. Moisture and dirt may impair function.
Twist pad with magnetic twist knob
The twist pad is the area in which you select the
cooking zones with the twist knob and can set heat
settings. The twist knob automatically centres itself
in the twist pad.
The twist knob is magnetic and is placed on the
twist pad. The cooking zone is activated by sliding
the twist knob in the dirction of the corresponding
cooking zone symbol. You can set the heat setting
by turning the twist knob.
You can remove the twist knob. This makes
cleaning easier.
If you remove the twist knob when the hob is in
operation, all the cooking zones switch off after
3 seconds.
m Caution! If you place a metal object on the
twist pad within 3 seconds, the hob may
continue to heat up. For this reason, always
switch off the hob using the main switch.
Storing the twist knob
There is a strong magnet in the twist knob. Do not,
therefore, place it near magnetic data carriers, e.g.
video cassettes, disks, credit cards and cards with
magnetic strips. These could be destroyed.
Malfunctions to televisions and monitors may occur.
m
Caution! For persons who wear electronic
implants such as a pacemaker or insulin
pump.
Implants could be affected by magnetic fields.
Do not carry the twist knob in the pockets of
your clothing. Keep the twist knob at least
10 cm away from a pacemaker.
Cooking zone extension
The size of the front left and the middle cooking
zones can be altered by activating the cooking zone
extension.
Both right cooking zones convert together with an
additional zone, to create an oval roasting zone
especially suitable for the Gaggenau cast roaster.
Residual heat display
The residual heat display appears on the display of
the relevant cooking zone after switching off. The
moving zero in the display indicates that, after
switching off, a cooking zone has still not cooled
down to such an extent that it can be safely
touched.
m Caution, risk of burns! Only touch cooking
zones after the residual heat display has gone
off.
m Caution, risk of burns! The residual heat
display stays off after a power cut. The
cooking zones may still be hot.
