• Important: the appliance heats up during operation. Keep children away.
• Do not operate the cooking positions without pots and pans placed on them.
• Note: to avoid jeopardising the electrical safety of the appliance, it is forbidden to use high-pressure or steam jet cleaning devices.
• Isolate the appliance from the mains during every maintenance operation. To do this, remove the mains plug or actuate the corresponding fuse.
  Repairs must be carried out by authorised specialists, thus ensuring electrical safety.
• No warranty claims can be lodged for any damage resulting from failure to observe these instructions.
• Do not store any substances that are sensitive to high temperatures, or which pose a fire hazard (e.g. cleaning agents or spray cans), in drawers or cupboards under the appliance.

Technical modifications reserved.

1.2 Operating for the first time

Before operating the appliance for the first time, please pay attention to the following notes:

• The appliance must only be connected by an authorised specialist.
• Keep the rating plate (on the enclosed sheet) in the same place as the operating and assembly instructions.
• Read through these instructions attentively before operating your appliance for the first time.
• Remove the packaging from the appliance and dispose of it properly. When unpacking the appliance, make sure you do not damage its seal. Pay attention to the fact that there are accessories in the base of the packaging. Keep packaging elements away from children.
• Thoroughly clean the appliance and accessories before using them for the first time. This will eliminate any 'newness' smells and soiling (see chapter entitled "Cleaning and care").
• Tip: If you have a glass insurance, we recommend that you have your new glass-ceramic cooking range included.
• Operation of the appliance must be discontinued immediately if improper use produces cracks, breaks or flaws on the cooking surface, with the result that live parts can come into contact directly or indirectly with seeping liquid or if there is a risk of injury. Remove the mains plug or actuate the corresponding mains fuse. Inform after-sales service!
• Before operating the appliance for the first time, make sure that the mains connection is in proper working order.

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 hotplate. The size of pots and pans should correspond 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 overheating 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 functioning 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.

The glass-ceramic range features SuperQuick cooking zones. These cooking zones possess good heat distribution properties and light up red while heating up. The cooking zones are controlled electronically and are switched on and off during operation. This is done to protect the glass plate against overheating and to ensure a uniform supply of heat from the hotplate to the saucepan. The range features an individual residual heat display. It lights up in the residual heat display panel as a red dot for each cooking zone. When this red dot lights up, the cooking zone concerned cannot be touched, not even after switching off.

• Always cook with the lid on. This considerably shortens the time needed for cooking.
• Pay attention to the right size when choosing pots and pans. The diameters of pots and pans should correspond to that of the hotplate.
• Kitchenware should consist of suitable material. Remember that high-quality kitchenware will help to minimise energy consumption.
• Depending on the experience you have gathered, you can switch off the cooking surface at an earlier time. You can make use of residual heat in this way.

5.2 Remedying slight malfunctions yourself

Not every malfunction can be ascribed to a defect of your cooker. If your appliance should not function properly, search for the fault in the list below. If you are not successful in remedying the fault with the aid of the list below, then contact your Gaggenau after-sales service.

Fault	Possible cause	Remedy
Appliance cannot be switched on.	Mains plug removed or domestic fuse has tripped.	Insert the mains plug or check the domestic fuse.
The cooking zone no longer lights up bright red although you have not changed any switch settings.	This mechanism protects the cooking surface against overheating and serves to keep the supply of heat even.
The food you are cooking needs a relatively long time to become hot.	The kitchenware contains a very large amount of food. Unsuitable kitchenware. The diameter of the pot you are using is larger than the cooking zone in use.	Select a higher cooking level. Pay attention to your choice of kitchenware. Use a lid.

6.3 Installation

When an intermediate shelf is installed, the distance from the bottom edge of the housing trough and the shelf or the next combustible item of furnishing must be at least 50~mm .

• Produce the recess for one or several Vario appliance(s) in your worktop. Proceed as indicated on the installation sketch and the dimension table. The dimension table contains details of the space requirement for the trim between the appliances.

Important: the angle between the cut surface and the worktop must amount to 90^ (Fig. 7).

• Mark the centre of the recess exactly. Secure the longer securing rail on the rear edge of the recess. Make sure that the lugs of the securing rail lie on the worktop and that the centre marking of the securing rail is precisely flush with the centre marking on the recess. (Fig. 8)
• Secure the two shorter securing rails on the front edge of the recess. Make sure that the lugs of the securing rails lie on the worktop and that the inner sides of the securing rails are precisely flush with the centre marking on the recess (Fig. 8).
• Lower the appliance into the worktop. Make sure that the engaging lugs on the appliance lie exactly on the clamping springs. Press the appliance firmly into the worktop. The engaging lugs on the appliance "snap" into the clamping springs (Fig. 9).

Note: When installing the appliance in granite or marble worktops, have the holes produced by a specialist or stick on the securing rails with a temperature-resistant 2-component adhesive (metal on stone).

Several appliances can also be installed in individual recesses, as long as a minimum clearance of 40mm is kept to between the appliances.

Note:

Please note that a distance of 10mm from the base cabinet must be observed for safety reasons.
