1.3 About use
The appliance
is intended solely for use in the
household and must not be put to any other uses.
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.
Place a cooking vessel
on the corresponding
hotplate before operating it. Do not remove the
cooking vessel until you have switched off the hot-
plate.
The size of pots
and pans should corres-
pond 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 over-
heating 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 func-
tioning of the cooking surface, though.
The appliance
is not suitable for warming up
foodstuffs in aluminium foil or in plastic vessels.
The glass-ceramic cooker additionally features
an
individual residual heat display
.
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 residual heat to warm up meals, for
example. This will save you energy.
