About use

The appliance is intended solely for household use and must not be put to any other uses.

Use the appliance to prepare meals only. Do not use the appliance to heat up the room in which it is installed.

Do not use the cooking surface as space to store items. Do not place any hot pots on the display panel.

Place a cooking vessel on the corresponding cooking zone before operating it. Do not remove the cooking vessel until you have switched off the hotplate. The size of pots and pans should corres- pond to the size of the hotplate. This will save you energy and time.

Switch off the cooktop after use.

Iridiscent discoloration can be caused by the bases of some pots. These do not interfere with the operation of the glass ceramic cooktop.

Always keep the cooking area and control panel dry and clean. The surface can be scratched due to dirt (e.g. sand grains).

Never heat food in aluminium or plastic containers as the material can melt and damage your cooktop.

Built-in overheating protection prevents overheating of the appliance and of surrounding kitchen furniture.

If installed above a pyrolytic oven, the overheating protection may be triggered when the cooktop is operated during a pyrolytic cleaning cycle.

In the event of malfunction, first check your household fuses. If the power supply is in proper working order, but the appliance is still not functioning, please inform your specialist dealer or your nearest Gaggenau after-sales service.
