Congratulations on buying your new “Vario” appliance. Before switching your appliance on for the first time, we would like you to familiarize yourself with your new appliance. In this manual you will find important notes on safety and operation. These will serve to ensure your personal safety and the lasting value of your appliance.
5. a) Do Not Cook on Broken Cooktop – If cooktop should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of electric shock.

7. 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 or other flammable materials contact heating elements or areas near units until they have had sufficient time to cool.
Observe the assembly instructions! The appliance could be damaged if connected wrongly! When connecting electrical appliances in the proximity of the cooktop, make sure that connecting cables do not come into contact with hot cooking surfaces. Only ever operate the appliance under supervision.
In the event of malfunction, first check your household fuses. If the power supply is in proper working order, but the appliance is still not functioning, please inform your specialist dealer or your nearest Gaggenau after-sales service.

4. Energy Saving Tips Pots and saucepans should always be covered by a matching lid. The cooking time is shortened and the energy use reduced. Pay attention to the right size when choosing pots and pans. The diameters of pots and pans should correspond to that of the hotplate.
Do not use the blade casing as it may scratch the glass-ceramic. Clean the hob with a damp, soft cloth or kitchen paper and the Gaggenau glass ceramic cleaner or similar cleaner suitable for glass ceramic cooktops. Polish with a soft, dry cloth.
If the power supply is functioning correctly, but your appliance still does not work, please contact your Gaggenau dealer who will provide you with the address and telephone number of your nearest manufacturer’s authorized service agent or contact Gaggenau USA on (800) 828-9165.
