Gaggenau CE 491-610 Use And Care Manual - page 5
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.
Child Safety
When children become old enough to use the
appliance, it is the legal 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.
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 or sponges can cause
burns from steam.
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 size. 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). See Cookware
Selection Guide for further details.
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.
