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.

Fire Safety

Do not allow aluminum foil, plastic, paper or cloth to come in contact with a hot surface element, burner or grate. Do not allow pans to boil dry.

If the cooktop is near a window, forced air vent or fan, be certain that flammable materials such as window coverings do not blow over or near the burners or elements. They could catch on fire.

Always have a working smoke detector near the kitchen.

Never leave the cooktop unattended when in use. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers may ignite.

GAGGENAU VP230620 - Fire Safety - 1

WARNING

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A GREASE FIRE:

  1. Never leave surface units unattended at high settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or medium settings.
  2. Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when flambéing food (i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambé).
  3. Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.
  4. Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the size of the surface element.

In the event that personal clothing or hair catches fire, drop and roll immediately to extinguish flames.

Have an appropriate fire extinguisher available, nearby, highly visible and easily accessible near the appliance.

Smother flames from food fires other than grease fires with baking soda. Never use water on cooking fires.

WARNING

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN THE EVENT OF A GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:

  1. SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-fitting lid, cookie sheet, or metal tray, then turn off the burner. BE CAREFUL TO PREVENT BURNS. If the flames do not go out immediately, EVACUATE AND CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
  2. NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN
  3. You may be burned.
  4. DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or towels – a violent steam explosion will result.
  5. Use an extinguisher ONLY if:

  6. You know you have a Class ABC extinguisher, and you already know how to operate it.

  7. The fire is small and contained in the area where it started.
  8. The fire department is being called.
  9. You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.

Whenever possible, do not operate the ventilation system during a cooktop fire. However, do not reach through fire to turn it off.

Cooking Safety

GAGGENAU VP230620 - Cooking Safety - 1

WARNING

Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in this manual. NEVER use this appliance as a space heater to heat or warm the room. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide poisoning and overheating the appliance. Never use the appliance for storage.

GAGGENAU VP230620 - WARNING - 1

WARNING

NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages in the oven bottom or cover an entire rack with materials such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow through the oven and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat, causing a fire hazard.

GAGGENAU VP230620 - WARNING - 1

WARNING

Risk of burns!

Putting water or ice cubes on the hot frying surface causes water to splash and steam.

Burn Prevention

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,

GAGGENAU VP230620 - Burn Prevention - 1

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

potholders, or other flammable materials contact surface units or areas near units until they have had sufficient time to cool. Among these areas are the cooktop and areas facing the cooktop.

Do not heat or warm unopened food containers. Build-up of pressure may cause the container to burst and cause injury.

Always use dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let potholder touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.

Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when flambéing food (i.e. Crêpes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambé).

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.

Never move a pan of hot oil, especially a deep fat fryer. Wait until it is cool.

Secure all loose 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.

GAGGENAU VP230620 - READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS - 1

WARNING

Risk of burns!

If the appliance cover (VD) is fitted: do not close the appliance cover until the appliance has cooled down completely. Do not operate the appliance with the cover closed. Do not use the appliance cover for placing objects or for keeping things warm.

Child Safety

When children become old enough to use the appliance, it is the responsibility of the parents or legal guardians to ensure that they are instructed in safe practices by qualified persons.

Do not allow anyone to climb, stand, lean, sit, or hang on any part of an appliance, especially a door, warming drawer, or storage drawer. This can damage the appliance, and the unit may tip over, potentially causing severe injury.

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

GAGGENAU VP230620 - READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS - 1

CAUTION

Items of interest to children should not be stored in an appliance, in cabinets above an appliance or on the backsplash. Children climbing on an appliance to reach items could be seriously injured.

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.

Do not use steam cleaners to clean the appliance.

Do not soak removable heating elements - Heating elements should never be immersed in water.

Cookware Safety

Hold the handle of the pan when stirring or turning food. This helps prevent spills and movement of the pan.

Use Proper Pan Size.

The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion of the heating element or burner 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 sizes. Proper relationship of cookware to heating element or burner will also improve efficiency.

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).

Always position handles of utensils inward so they do not extend over adjacent work areas, burners, or the edge of the cooktop. This reduces the risk of fires, spills and burns.

Proper Installation and Maintenance

Have the installer show you the location of the circuit breaker or fuse. Mark it for easy reference.

This appliance must be properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician. Connect only to properly grounded outlet. Refer to Installation Instructions for details.

This appliance is intended for normal family household use only. It is not approved for outdoor use. See the Statement of Limited Product Warranty. If you have any questions, contact the manufacturer.

Do not store or use corrosive chemicals, vapors, flammables or nonfood products in or near this 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.

Tips for cooking and roasting

  • Only put on the food once the heating indicator has gone out. This also applies to raising the temperature between two preparations.
  • Press the meat, poultry and fish pieces flat onto the frying surface with the spatula. Only turn them once they can easily be removed from the surface, in order to not destroy the fibers. Otherwise fluid can come out, which causes the food to dry out.
  • Meat, poultry and fish pieces shouldn't touch each other during frying so that they don't absorb any liquid.
  • Don't pierce or cut meat prior to or during cooking, in order to prevent meat juice from escaping.
  • Don't salt meat, poultry and fish prior to frying, in order to prevent the extraction of water and soluble nutrients.
  • Fish fillet can be rolled in flour (floured) prior to frying. This prevents it from sticking as much.
  • Only turn fish fillet once if possible. First fry it on the skin side.
  • Only use oils and fats that can be heated up hot and are suitable for frying, e.g. refined plant oils or concentrated butter (clarified butter).

Using the with Teppan Yaki with cookware

You can also use the Teppan Yaki to cook with cookware. Cooking methods that require little heat input can be used to do this. You can heat food quickly on the hob first, if required, before continuing cooking on the Teppan Yaki.

Approx. 140 °C is best for melting, defrosting, and keeping food warm. 160–200 °C is best for soaking rice and cereals, and for heating small quantities of food.

Use heat-resistant cookware with a lid. Take care not to scratch the stainless steel frame accidentally when placing the cookware on the heating surface. Please note that if the cookware is smaller than the surface being heated, this is not an energy-efficient cooking method.
