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.

–The appliance is suitable for use with water only. The appliance must not be used for deep frying.

–Do not store any combustible items in your appliance. During operation, only ever leave the items you need inside the appliance.

–Only ever use the intended cooking inserts. Caution! Risk of burns!

Use the special handle to remove and insert the cooking inserts.

–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 cooking.

–Clean the appliance in regular intervals. The appliance should be cleaned after each operation.

–A built-in temperature protection facility prevents overheating of the appliance.

The appliance must not be operated empty (cooking liquid only, no oil etc.!). 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" control knob to the 0 position. Wait until the appliance has cooled down. Pour cooking liquid into the appliance and wait until the appliance has cooled down to such an extent that the symbol (limiter) no longer appears on the display.

Note: If the symbol (limiter) appears in the display, this may have several causes (see chapter “Structure and operating principle").

–The appliance features a holiday protection feature. Heating up of the appliance is cancelled after 4 hours if it is not operated by way of the “Temperature" control knob during this time. Dashes are shown on the display.

–The cooking tub may be filled with water as maximum up to the foaming edge and as minimum down to the bottom marking.

–Make sure that the steam outlet opening is not covered up during operation.

–Caution!

When hot, the glass cover must not be placed on a wet and cold worktop or cooled under cold running water. It might otherwise crack. Replace the glass cover immediately if it is damaged. If glass splinters should enter into the cooking basin as the result of a damaged glass cover, bear in mind that the foodstuffs prepared in it are no longer suitable for consumption. The cover must always be fitted well on the appliance.

–Do not place items on the glass cover.

–You should observe extreme caution when draining hot water without a fixed water connection. Risk of burns! Use a temperature- resistant receptacle with an adequate capacity (e.g. a 10 l bucket). Use the drain installation set (see installation note).

–The door(s) of the base cabinet must be locked if you do not have a permanent drain connection and there are small children in your household.

This reduces the risk of burns.

–If you have a permanent water drain connection, pay attention to the applicable regulations.

–If malfunctions should occur, you should first check whether the child lock is activated (see Page 9). Check the household fuses. If the problem has nothing to do with the power supply, please contact your specialist dealer or your responsible Gaggenau customer service.
