[. . . ] Pay attention to the fact that there are accessories in the base of the packaging. ­ 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. ­ Before operating the appliance for the first time, check 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. ­ 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. ­ 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 aftersales service. ­ A built-in temperature protection facility prevents overheating of the appliance. ­ 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 preparing foodstuffs in aluminium foil or in plastic vessels. ­ Remove any spilt food before opening the cover of the appliance. ­ The appliance cover must not be closed after use until the appliance has cooled down. 6 2.

Rated power consumption: 3. 0 kW Note: if there is a need for an intermediate cupboard wall under the hob, cut out the recess so that the trough of the hob does not lie on the cupboard side wall and so that a distance of 20 mm (13/16") from the intermediate cupboard wall is guaranteed. Please note that a distance of 10 mm (13/32") from the base cabinet must be observed for safety reasons. [. . . ]
