READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: When properly cared for, your
new appliance has been designed to be safe
and reliable. Read all instructions carefully
before use. These precautions will reduce the
risk of burns, electric shock, fire and injury to
persons. When using kitchen appliances,
basic safety precautions must be followed,
including those in the following pages.
CAUTION: Items of interest to children
!
!
should not be stored in an appliance, in
cabinets above an appliance or in the
backsplash. Children climbing on an
appliance to reach items could be seriously
injured.
Cooking safety
Do not allow aluminium foil, plastic, paper or cloth
to come in contact with a hot surface element. Do
not allow pans to boil dry.
Installation
This appliance must be properly installed and
grounded by a qualified technician. Connect only to
properly grounded outlet.
Secure all garments, etc. before beginning. Tie
long hair so that it does not hang loose and do not
wear loose fitting clothing or hanging garments
such as ties, scarves, jewelry or dangling sleeves.
Have the installer show you the location of the
circuit breaker or fuse. Mark it for easy reference.
Refer to Installation Instructions for detail.
DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS
NEAR UNITS. Surface units may be hot even though
they are dark in color. Areas near surface units may
become hot enough to cause burns. During and
after use, do not touch, or let clothing, potholders
or other flammable materials contact surface units
or areas near units until they have had sufficent time
to cool. Among these areas are the cooktop and
areas facing the cooktop.
Intended use
This appliance is intended for normal household use
only. It is not approved for outdoor use. See the
Warranty. If you have any questions, contact the
manufacturer.
WARNING: Use this appliance only for its
!

fryer. Wait until it is cool.
WARNING: Never leave the cooktop
!
unattended at high temperature settings.Keep
Child safety
an eye on the cooktop and do not allow
anything to boil over or burn. Boilovers can
cause smoke and some foods and oils may
catch on fire if left on high temperature
settings.
Do not allow children to use this appliance unless
closely supervised by an adult. Children and pets
should not be left alone or unattended in the area
where the appliance is in use. They should never be
allowed to play in its vicinity, whether or not the
appliance is in use.

Important Safety Instructions
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
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.
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.
Cookware safety
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.
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.
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.
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).
Work space / environment
Always have a working smoke detector near the
kitchen.
Hold the handle of the pan when stirring or turning
food. This helps prevent spills and movement of the
pan.
Have an appropriate fire extinguisher available,
nearby, highly visible and easily accessible near the
appliance.
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.
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.
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.
Service and repair safety
Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance
unless specifically recommended in this manual.
Refer all servicing to a factory authorized service
center.
Do not use steam cleaners to clean the cooktop.
To avoid electrical shock hazard, before servicing
the appliance, switch off the circuit breaker in the
fuse box.

!
twist pad within 3 seconds, the cooktop may
continue to heat up. For this reason, always
switch off the cooktop using the main switch.
Touch keys
When you touch a symbol, the respective function
is activated. Every input is confirmed by an audible
signal.
Storing the twist knob
The settings remain unchanged if several symbols
are touched briefly. You can therefore easily mop up
spills on the control panel.

therefore, place it near magnetic data carriers, e.g.
video cassettes, disks, credit cards and cards with
magnetic strips. These could be destroyed.
Note
Malfunctions to televisions and monitors may occur.
Always keep the touch keys clean and dry. Moisture
and dirt may impair function.
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
4 inches (10 cm) away from a pacemaker.
Cooking zone combination
Flexible cooking zones can be combined in different
ways to create larger or smaller cooking surfaces

Tips on saving energy
Use good quality saucepans and pots with thick,
even bases.
Select the correct saucepan size for each cooking
zone. The diameter of the bases of the saucepans
and pots should match the size of the cooking zone.
Note: Ovenware manufacturers often give the
diameter of the top of the saucepan. It is usually
larger than the diameter of the base of the
saucepan.
Use a small saucepan for small quantities. A larger,
less full saucepan requires more energy.
Saucepans and pots should always be covered with
a suitable lid to shorten cooking times. Cooking
without a lid requires much more energy.
Cook with small quantities of water. This saves
energy and helps vegetables to retain vitamins and
minerals.
Switch down to a lower heat setting in good time.
For longer cooking times you can switch off the
cooking zone before the end of the cooking time
and then use the residual heat.

chemically attack and damage the surface.
Cleaning the glass ceramic
Do not use any aggressive or abrasive cleaners.
Do not use the blade scraper, as it may scratch the
cooktop frame.
Clean the cooktop after every use. This prevents
food from being burnt into the cooktop surface.
Do not use lemon or vinegar to clean the cooktop
frame. This could result in matt patches.
Use the blade scraper to remove food residues and
grease splashes. Only use the blade on the glass
ceramic cooktop. Do not use the blade casing as it
may scratch the glass ceramic.
Cleaning the twist knob
Use a glass ceramic cleaner and kitchen towel or a
soft, moist cloth to clean the surface when it has
cooled down.
Wipe the magnetic knob using lukewarm soapy
water only. Do not use any aggressive or abrasive
cleaners. The twist knob could be damaged if
cleaned in a dishwasher or immersed in soapy
water.
Wipe the surface with a moist cloth and rub dry
with a soft cloth.
Do not apply the cleaner if the cooktop is hot. It can
become stained. Carefully remove any remaining
cleaner before heating up the cooktop.
Water marks can also be removed using lemon juice
or vinegar.
The glass ceramic cleaner will coat the glass
ceramic surface with a gleaming, dirt repellent film.
This will help to preserve the attractive appearance
of your cooktop over a long period of time and make
it easier to clean as well.
Do not use scouring, abrasive or chemically
aggressive cleaners (e.g. oven cleaner).
Do not use cleaners which contain sand or chlorine.
Do not use undiluted dishwashing or household
detergent. Do not use abrasive sponges or brushes.
Food with a high sugar content (e.g. boiled-over
milk, jam) can damage the surface of your cooktop.
Immediately remove such food using the glass
scraper.

Useful hints
Maintenance
The temperature of the cooking zones is controlled
by switching the heat on and off, this means that it
is not always possible to see the red, glowing heat.
If you select a low heat setting, the heat will switch
off more often than at higher heat settings. Even at
the highest setting the heat switches on and off.
If the appliance does not function correctly, check
the household fuses first. If the power supply is
functioning correctly, please contact your dealer or
the Gaggenau after-sales service.
Please quote the E number (product number) and
the FD number (production number) of your

appliance when contacting the after-sales service.
The quality control slip bearing these numbers is
included with this manual. This quality control slip
should be kept, for guarantee reasons, together
with your operating and assembly instructions.
The heat may show differently on the individual
cooking zones. Depending on the angle of vision,
the heat may appear to spread beyond the marked
boundary of the cooking zone. These are technical
features and do not influence quality or function.
Repairs may only be carried out by authorised
technicians, in order to guarantee the safety of the
appliance.
WARNING! Incorrect repairs may result in
serious injury to the user.

All poles of the appliance must be disconnected
from the mains when being repaired.
Non compliance with these recommendations
results in the warranty coverage becoming invalid.
