The appliance must only be connected by an authorised specialist, paying attention to the relevant regulations of the power supply companies and the regional construction regulations.

Observe the assembly instructions!

When connecting electrical appliances and devices in the proximity of cooking surfaces and ovens, make sure that connecting cables do not become jammed under the hot oven door or come into contact with hot cooking surfaces.

As the user, you yourself are responsible for maintenance and proper use in the household.

Only ever operate the appliance under supervision.

Observe caution with oils and fats. Overheated oils and fats can easily cause fires.

Important: the appliance heats up during operation. Keep children away.

Do not operate the hotplates 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.

Note:

If you have fitted the appliance cover VD 201-010 (special accessory) on the appliance, it must not be closed until the appliance has cooled down completely. Do not operate the appliance with the cover closed! Heat development may damage the appliance and the cover. Do not use the appliance cover as a surface for placing objects or for keeping things warm.

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 be installed and connected by a specialist before it is operated for the first time.
• If an earthing-pin plug is fitted on the appliance, it must be connected to a socket outlet with earthing contact that conforms to regulations.
• The rating plate for this appliance is included with the instructions on a separate sheet. Store the rating plate in the same location as your operating and assembly instructions.
• Conscientiously read through the operating and assembly instructions before operating the appliance for the first time.
• Remove the packaging from the appliance and dispose of it properly. Pay attention to the fact that there are accessories in the base of the packaging. Keep packaging elements out of the reach of 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: you are advised to have the new appliance added to any existing glass insurance.
• 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 fuses. Inform your after-sales service.
• Before operating the appliance for the first time, check that the mains connection is in proper working order.

1.3 About use

• Use the appliance to prepare meals only. It must not be used to heat up the room in which it is installed.
• The glass-ceramic hob must not be used as a storage surface.
• 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. They may overheat and burn easily.
• After use, turn all control knobs to 0.
• 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 after-sales service.

Pay attention to the "Important notes" (Chapter 1).

The appliance must only be installed by an authorised specialist, paying attention to the relevant regulations of the power supply companies and the regional construction regulations.

The installing technician is responsible for perfect functioning of the appliance at its installation location. The operation principle must be explained to the user with reference to the operating instructions. He must draw the user's attention as to how to isolate the appliance from the mains whenever necessary.

This cooker corresponds to heat class Y and must be installed in a cabinet as detailed in the sketch (Fig. 8).

When establishing the electrical connections, make sure that connecting leads cannot come into contact with hot parts of the cooking surface. Protection against shock hazards must be ensured after installation!

Pay attention to the data on the rating plate and connect the PE conductor. Connect the connecting cable to the mains. The appliance can be connected with an earthing-pin plug or it can be connected permanently.

Shock hazard protection from below must be ensured after installation, e.g. by the installation of an intermediate shelf that can only be removed using tools.

If all poles of the appliances cannot be isolated from the mains by removing an accessible plug (of a permanent connecting lead), an isolating device with a contact gap of at least 3 mm must be installed (e.g. domestic fuse).

Damages caused by failure to observe these installation instructions cannot be recognised.

There should be a distance of at least 20 mm between the edge of the appliance and combustible walls or furniture items.

The distance between the intermediate shelf and the worktop in which the range is recessed must be at least 70 mm.

There should be a distance of at least 20 mm from the bottom edge of the housing trough and the next combustible item of furniture.

If installed at an offset above a base cupboard or if several appliances from the Vario series are installed adjacently, the housing can lie on the side walls of the cupboard.

Note: please note that a distance of 10 mm from the cupboard side walls must be observed for safety reasons.

This appliance may be installed in kitchen combinations made of wood or similar combustible materials without taking additional measures.

Note: do not stick the cooking surface onto the worktop with silicone!
