Safety notes

1. Important notes

For your safety

Do not operate the appliance if it is damaged.

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!

Make sure that connecting cables do not come into

contact with hot cooking surfaces.

Do not use to extract hazardous or explosive

substances and vapours!

As the user, you are responsible for maintenance

and proper use in the household.

Do not operate the appliance without a grease filter.

Only operate the appliance under supervision. The

appliance is intended solely for use in the

household and must not be put to any other uses.

Caution! Over-greased filters are a fire risk! Clean

the grease filter on a regular basis.

Do not clean the appliance with a steam cleaning

apparatus or with water pressure because this

poses a risk of short-circuits.

Isolate the appliance from the mains during every

maintenance operation. To do this, remove the

mains plug or actuate the corresponding fuse. If the

mains plug is not accessible, the appliance must be

disconnected from the mains by means of the

domestic fuse.

Fire risk! It is not permitted to flambé meals next

to a hob ventilator that is in operation.

Only use a grill or a deep fryer at the same time as

the hob ventilator if it is under constant supervision.

This will involve a fire risk!

Do not place any objects on the appliance; this will

interfere with the functioning of the appliance.

If you have installed a gas appliance between the

hob extractors VL 430/431, the gas hob has to be

fitted with two air baffles LS 330 on the side of the

hob while cooking. The air baffles not only improve

the airflow of the extractor next to a gas appliance,

but also prevent a flame which has been set to a

low level from being extinguished. If you have

installed the hob extractor only on one side of the

gas appliance, it is sufficient to fit one air baffle

LS 330 on the side facing the extractor.

Note: do not operate this appliance next to a

VG 411 gas cooker.

No warranty claims can be lodged in the event

of damage caused by failure to observe these

instructions.

Technical modifications reserved.

Operating for the first time

Before operating the appliance for the first time,

please pay attention to the following notes:

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 packaging!

Keep packaging elements (e.g. plastic foil,

styrofoam parts) out of the reach of children!

Thoroughly clean the appliance before using it for

the first time. (see chapter entitled "Cleaning and

care")

Before operating the appliance for the first time,

check that the mains connection is in proper

working order.

Maintenance

The appliance must be disconnected from the

power supply during all repair work.

If the appliance does not function correctly, check

the fuses first.

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. Specify the

appliance type (see rating plate).

Repairs may only be carried out by authorised

technicians, in order to guarantee the safety of the

appliance.

Unauthorised tampering with the appliance will

invalidate any warranty claims.

Only ever use original spare parts.

rear at the correct angle.

Cleaning the flaps

agent with a soft, moist cloth. Do not spray cleaner

onto the key pad.

agents. Do not use any abrasive sponges or
