Operation; Switching On; Switching Off; Cooking Zone Combination - Gaggenau VE 230 Instrucciones De Uso

Operation

The markings on the control knobs show the position of
the corresponding cooking zone and the heat setting.

Switching on

Turn the corresponding control knob to the left or right
to the required cooking level. The indicator light goes
on, when a cooking zone is switched on.
Notes
‒ Cooking zones featuring combination: the control
knob can only be turned to the left to switch on the
cooking zone.
‒ The cooking zones are regulated by switching the
heating elements on and off. This is normal. The
heating elements remain at full power and are
switched on and off in longer or shorter intervals,
depending on the setting.
‒ Even on the highest cooking level the heating
elements will be switched on and off. This is
normal.

Switching off

Turn the control knob to 0 to switch off the cooking
zone. The residual heat display remains on as long as
the cooking zone is too hot to be touched safely.
Note: Cooking zones featuring combination: the control
knob cannot be turned directly from the combination
position to the left to 0.

Cooking zone combination

Only for cooking zones featuring combination: the
size of the cooking zone can be extended using cooking
zone combination.
To activate the combination, turn the control knob to the
left beyond 9 to the combination symbol and then back
to the required cooking level.
Turn the control knob to 0 to switch off the cooking
zone. When switching the cooking zone on again, the
combination has to be activated again if required.
Note: The control knob cannot be turned directly from
the combination position to the left to 0.

Residual heat indicator

For your safety the hob features individual residual heat
indicators. A red signal lights up for each cooking zone.
The residual heat display indicates that, after switching
off, a cooking zone has still not cooled down to such an
extent that it can be safely touched.
