Gaggenau ci491 Instruction 12 7 13
0:00 / 0:00
okay this is an instruction on how to
use the Gaghan al CI 491 cooktop this is
the cooktop that has the trim so it's CI
four nine one six one two and this is
without the knob on it it won't really
work without the knob here's the knob
its magnetic and you can clean it with
the knob off take the knob off to stop
it it will turn off as I'll show later
and when you want to use it you can put
it in a snaps right place with the
matter that it is induction so it will
any induction useable cookware this is a
magnetic stainless with an aluminum core
you can also use anything that any other
induction could you could work with it's
got to have some ferrous metal in it
somewhere and then it will work one of
the features that works pretty well on
this one in my opinion is that different
size pans will pretty much all work on
any of the hobbs i have another one
that's even smaller that i've been able
to use on even the biggest of here as
long as it's placed relatively in the
center it'll work they may not all work
as well they work tend to work better if
they're on a hop its appropriately sized
but you know sometimes you may have
different size pans and you need two
small pans and if you only have one
small burner you can still use it
likewise if you have several big pans
you can still use a big pain model small
burner etc it hasn't proved too
sensitive right now the cooktop is been
used recently so it's a little bit warm
I don't know if you can see in here like
some of the burners are running I guess
between 80 and 100 degrees warm to the
touch but not enough
burn when the burner when the table area
gets to about 140 150 degrees there'll
be a little heat indicator on each
burner as you'll see which which shows
that that hob is hot as a safety
precaution so you don't burn yourself so
to turn it on you first press a power
button this is a touch control that
turns on the display and then you use
the knob and there's several ways to do
it so the first I'll show is the
simplest you push the knob towards the
burner you want to select I want to
select this middle one here so I'll push
the knob toward that and then turn the
knob and you can see I'm selecting the
temperature and you can hear a faint
buzz at the highest setting here and you
can see that the pan is heating up
heating up and here on a nine setting
after a couple seconds it's gone up
about twenty degrees and will continue
to to heat up there relatively even he
its pan dependent these pans tend to be
a little cooler in the center than on
the edges but you can see that it's
heating up to cooking temperature in
just a few seconds here and I'm going to
show you how to turn it off here so you
can see that it's still on there's
several ways so one is you could just
select the mill and turn the knob down
to register zero that would turn it off
another way to do it would be to turn
off the power button that works if this
is the only one you got going and or if
you have several going but you want them
all off at once get turn off the power
button just like that you turn it back
on and show you the third way to turn it
off which is you can just remove the
knob and in three seconds approximately
all of it will shut off
okay I'm going to show another way to
get to cook on this another way so in
addition to just setting it to a number
there's another feature on this which
has an auto warm-up feature so you
select the burner that you want select
the temperature that you want it on when
it's at stasis and then press this a
button oops
I'm going to do it while that burner
selected it'll flash a and the number
that it was at it's also flashing a
number here and that number is the time
that it takes to warm up once it's spent
that amount of time it will warm up and
and then it'll stay at the stay at the
stasis power so that's how you use that
feature you just select the number on
the particular hob press the a button
while it's still selected and then the
cooktop will do the rest and it will
depending on which power setting you've
selected it will spend more or less time
at a higher setting really heating the
pan up you can see right now it's up to
240 250 there abouts and then once it
gets to a particular temperature it's
going to just stay at the selected power
setting okay I'm going to deselect that
and we're going to try another setting
for this I'll use a a different pan oh
by the way you can see right here the
zero which is kind of indicating from
bottom to top there that indicates that
this area is still hot and you can see
from my iron thermometer here that it's
running about 250 degrees there abouts
300 depending on the area on the hob and
it'll stay indicated like this until the
entire thing gets down to approximately
140 degrees Fahrenheit or below and then
oh then that indicator will go off so as
long as it could burn you it will stay
lit
so here's another pan I'm going to put
on and this table right here and this
hob right here that is the front left
and front right have a frying feature so
fry feature will theoretically heat the
pan up quickly to a particular
temperature and then keep the pan at
that temperature so we'll use a even
power setting to keep it at that
temperature now what that temperature is
depends in part on the pan so you have
to use this you know which pan you're
using may may and what type of cooking
you're doing may affect how your what
temperature setting you're going to use
so I'll show you how to do it on this
right I'm going to select that hob then
I press this little thermometer sign and
that is low that's medium that's
medium-high and that's with the dot hi
fry I'm going to put it down to fry low
and what it's doing now is it's heating
up quickly you can see here it's going
to start heating up quickly and then
once it gets to about probably about a
hundred and forty or so it's going to
stop heating and it's going to keep it
at about that temperature so you can see
there it is heating up quickly I don't
know how much time has elapsed but
pretty soon it'll just stop and then it
will just dip down a temperature a
little bit and just remain there at a
constant temperature and because we
don't want to sit there watching that
happen I'm going to stop and turn it off
okay so the the last heating feature
that I'm going to show you
relates to the power boost so the power
boost is in zones so there are three
zones the left the center and the right
and you can power boost up to three
burners at a time one in each zone and
that will boost the amount of wattage
that goes to the particular hob that
you're using so to do this one again
I'll show you how to do that you just
select that hob oops you got to turn on
the stove first like that hob select the
number that you want it to be at and
then you press this double arrow here
and it flashes it shows you a P so that
P is the power boost setting and now
this table is going to be going very
fast to a very hot temperature and I
won't bore you but this will go really
fast and get really hot I'm going to
turn off now there's another feature
that you can use on these so you can set
the the burner to cook for a particular
period of time so while it's on you
select your hob let's say you want it to
be on six for five minutes while this
hob is selected still you select this
little clock feature and you can dial in
what did I say six minutes so it's on
six for six minutes right now it beeps
that means the time is set now this will
stay at that power setting for
approximately at foot for six minutes
and then it will turn off after that
period of time okay while we're on the
time feature while no hobs are selected
you can also press the time button and
use the knob to dial in a particular
time let's say you want to one alarm to
go off after 25 minutes so I've just set
it for 20
five minutes and that will count down
and that will work independently right
now it's flashing six because that's the
shortest time and that relates to this
thing which is still this hob which is
still set to turn off in six minutes but
the timer will go off in twenty five
minutes and if I were to turn off the
power completely on the Hobbs that which
would basically turn this hob off you'll
see that the timer went back to twenty
five because the six minute timer on the
hob is relevant because I turn the hob
off and now it's showing me the 25
minute elapsed time so maybe there are
more features that this then can do
that's all that I figured out how to do
so far oh one last thing we have this
built over a drawer I'm going to open
the drawer and you can see we've been
using this for a little bit of time and
the temperature in the drawer is 70
degrees so not a lot of heat has been
generated underneath this drawer there's
no ventilation under here
and the temperature and the ambient
temperature is about 67 degrees you can
see the right here the countertop is
about 68 so there's like a little bit of
elevation of heat in that drawer but
it's not a material amount now if we
have five pot boil going and it were
summertime maybe there would be a
certain amount of heat generated in this
drawer but I haven't done that test yet
right now we're we're in December so I
won't be able to really test that for a
few months okay so I think that is it
for the instructional video so I hope
this was helpful thanks
