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.
Keep ventilation openings open (doors, extractor hoods and windows).
Do not store any combustible items inside the appliance. During operation, only ever leave the items you need inside the appliance.
Only ever use deep frying inserts (deep frying baskets) that are intended for the purpose.
The 
(heating) symbol in the control panel goes off as soon as the set temperature has been reached.
Return the “Temperature" knob to “0" after deep frying.
The appliance must not be operated empty (i.e. without oil or fat; do not use water!). If the appliance is operated empty, it will switch off
automatically and the 
(limiter) symbol will appear in the display. If this is the case, turn the “Temperature" knob to the 0 position. Wait until the 
(limiter) symbol goes off again.
Note: If the 
(limiter) symbol appears in the display, there may be many reasons for this (see Structure and operating principle).
Top up oil or fat as soon as it is below the minimum level (bottom marking). Caution: there is a risk of fires if the filling should drop below the bottom marking!
Observe caution with oils and fats. They may overheat and burn easily.
Old/soiled fat must be replaced if it becomes brown, has an unpleasant smell and/or smokes prematurely. Fire risk!
If a fire should break out, remove the mains plug and place the lid on the deep fryer. Never extinguish with water!
Switch off the extractor hood immediately because the draught will otherwise intensify the fire!
The deep frying oil/fat will foam over if foodstuffs that are too wet or if excessive quantities are inserted. Risk of burns!
In the event of malfunctions, first of all check the household fuses. If the problem has nothing to do with the power supply, please contact your specialist dealer or your local Gaggenau
Clean the appliance at regular intervals and also replace the deep frying oil or fat at regular intervals because soiling causes the deep frying oil or fat to become more easily ignitable.
Do not use the lid during deep frying. The lid must only be placed over the deep fryer after it has cooled down fully.
Caution: never use the glass cover of the steam cooker for the deep fryer.
