Edition 2010/2011.

The difference is Gaggenau. 

Surrounding yourself with objects with which you’re 

entirely satisfied has got to be one of life’s greatest privileges. 

So often, finding them involves a lengthy search 

where every detail constitutes knowledge gained. And 

as your knowledge grows, so your demands increase. 

At Gaggenau, our business is developing appliances 

for the private kitchen and, in doing so, we make 

no compromises in our attempt to attain the greatest 

possible perfection. We’re guided by the experiences 

and demands of professionals at all times, and this 

applies as much to the features on our appliances as it 

does to their appearance. We’ll show you features you’ll 

wonder how you ever did without – new technological 

innovations which make long-familiar problems a thing 

of the past. Our practical masterpieces are crafted by 

hand in a process involving numerous steps to create 

objects of timeless beauty which, at the same time, are 

endlessly robust.

If you come across specialist terminology with which 

you’re not immediately familiar, we suggest you take a look 

at the glossary we have put together for you at the back 

of the magazine. There you’ll find more than 150 specialist 

terms with detailed descriptions, arranged in alphabetical 

order. Check out our website at www.gaggenau.com if 

you require further information. However, the best point 

of reference for Gaggenau is our appliances – because 

they speak for themselves.

History.

Gaggenau was founded in 1683 and has been involved 

in the manufacture of metal consumer durables from the 

outset. Before long, the company came to specialise in 

enamel products, and Gaggenau’s recipe for its sturdy 

oven enamel became the basis for the success of its charcoal 

and gas ovens, which it continued to manufacture 

until well into the 20th century. In 1961, Gaggenau was 

taken over by the visionary entrepreneur Georg von 

Blanquet, under whose leadership it became a premium 

international brand. Von Blanquet was excited by the 

idea of custom-made fitted kitchens, something which 

was revolutionary for that time. A passionate cook in his 

spare time, von Blanquet accepted no compromises in 

his quest to create professional appliances incorporating 

a plain and functional design – a creed to which 

Gaggenau has remained faithful to this day. 

A variety of glass composites are used as raw materials 

for the typical blue enamel of our ovens. 

7

Craftsmanship. 

Gaggenau appliances are crafted by hand in a process 

involving many stages and assembled piece by piece in 

our workshops. The most intricate assembly process is 

the one for the large RY 491 fridge-freezer combination in 

the Vario cooling 400 series. Manufacturing our ovens 

also involves countless steps which can only be carried 

out manually, such as the assembly of fronts and cable 

looms. Even the control modules on our 200 series 

ovens can only be polished manually, for instance. Our 

philosophy demands loving attention to all details. This 

enables us to keep hold of the things which are valuable 

and dear to us. 

Two control knobs from the 200 series ovens. The control 

module is polished by hand and the knobs are attached 

manually. 

8

Quality. 

Only the toughest, best-quality materials are suitable 

for consistent use in a kitchen over a period of many 

years. The grinding unit of our fully automatic espresso 

machine is a good example – it operates almost without 

wear, and its innovative design makes it unusually quiet. 

These details, used in the selection of materials and 

processes, may not be visible, but make a recognisable 

difference to the taste. That’s because the grinding 

unit’s three different grinding zones guarantee an ideal 

grain size distribution and thus enable the aroma to 

develop perfectly. 

One of the two discs in our fully automatic espresso 

machine’s grinding unit. It is made of high-quality 

ceramic material and is extremely long-lived.

Innovations.

No other company has revolutionised common kitchen 

practices as much as Gaggenau: built-in ovens, glass 

ceramic cooktops, pyrolytic self-cleaning, the Combisteam 

oven for the home and oven doors that can be 

opened from the side. Or the AT 400 table ventilation 

that can remove even large quantities of grease particles 

from the air. Another unique product is the Vario 

cooling 200 series, which features an enlarged interior 

and the highest energy efficiency class. The list of our 

achievements is remarkable. But that certainly doesn’t 

mean we’re resting on our laurels. More than 30 staff in 

research and development are already working on 

further ideas. 

A coil condenser from the Vario cooling 200 series. It 

features a compact design and reduces the temperature 

of the substances to be cooled in an extremely effective 

manner. As a result, the net volume and the energy 

efficiency can both be increased. 

13

Design. 

On the international stage, Gaggenau is a regular recipient 

of design prizes. After all, engineers and designers 

work hand-in-hand at Gaggenau. They create objects 

that set the benchmarks with regard to functional and 

aesthetic criteria. One successful example of this is 

provided by the solid aluminium door racks of our Vario 

cooling 400 series. They are purposefully recut in order 

to create uniquely precise contours. As a result, simplicity 

meets state-of-the-art design. Par for the course 

at Gaggenau. 

The metal cutter heads with which the aluminium is 

reworked. This enhancement makes the material a 

pleasure to see and touch.

17

Baking. 

Very large ovens have traditionally been used in 

gastronomy. Besides roasting, baking and grilling, 

they are also used for preparation or to keep individual 

meals warm while others are still cooking. It 

is this wide range of requirements that provides the 

inspiration for our domestic kitchens. This combination 

of oven and Combi-steam oven enables all 

conceivable culinary challenges to be mastered to 

perfection. The best results are obtained when the 

appliances are built in at eye level so that the cook 

is provided with an ideal view. The high-visibility 

glass frontages are made from high-quality transparent 

glass capable of resisting temperatures 

of up to 485°C, such as those that occur during 

pyrolysis, the automatic self-cleaning. At the press 

of a button, the current temperature inside the oven 

appears on a temperature gauge. Other handy 

features, the likes of which will delight even 

professional chefs, are shown on the pages that 

follow. 

19

200 series ovens. 

The distinct look of the appliances of the 200 series 

ovens is defined by the compact LCD control module 

with its simple use of menus, digital clock and timer. 

The multiple-glazed doors can be opened at full height 

from the side, either to the left or to the right depending 

on how you choose to install them. Frontages are 

made from glass and backed with stainless steel or 

aluminium, while some models are also backed with 

stainless steel, aluminium or anthracite colours. The 

panorama view and halogen lighting ensure the cook is 

provided with optimum visibility of the interior. 

The series uncompromisingly brings ultra-modern professional 

technology into private kitchens. Whether it’s 

a combination of an oven, a Combi-steam oven and a 

warming drawer one above the other or a side-by-side 

combination of 45-centimetre-high appliances such as 

a Combi-microwave oven, a fully automatic espresso 

machine and a Combi-steam or steam oven – a multitude 

of perfect-looking combinations is possible. 

21

Combi-steam oven BS 281. 

The BS 281 has a fixed inlet and outlet water connection. 

Five humidity levels can be combined with temperatures 

of up to 230°C, meaning that these ovens can 

do everything: steaming, baking, simmering, braising, 

regenerating, extracting juice. 

• Frontage: Aluminium-backed full glass door (also available 

with stainless steel backing). 

• Dimensions: 76 cm wide; net volume of 44 litres (also available 

in a width of 60 cm). 

• Cooking methods: Hot air from 30°C to 230°C, electronically 

controllable, can be combined with steam at 0 %, 30 %, 

60 %, 80 % or 100 % humidity, as required. 

• Core temperature probe: Switches off the oven automatically 

when a roast or fish has reached the desired temperature. 

See pages 28/29 for more details. 

• Stainless steel interior: Seamless beautiful design, hygienic. 

• Fixed inlet and outlet water connection: Convenient connection 

for automatic regulation of the water inlet and outlet. 

• Gastronorm inserts (GN 2 

⁄ 3): Perforated and unperforated, 

made of hygienic stainless steel for cooking in the Combisteam 

oven; smaller inserts (GN 1 ⁄ 3) are available as special 

accessories. See pages 168/169 for more details. 

Oven BO 281. 

The BO 281 has the widest range of features of the 

ovens in the 200 series – here with an aluminium-backed 

glass frontage and a width of 76 cm. The same 60 cmwide 

model is shown on pages 36/37, where you will 

also find a detailed description. 

Warming drawer WS 282. 

The WS 282 has space for a dinner set for twelve 

persons. The interior is food-safe. 

• Frontage: Aluminium-backed glass frontage (also available 

with stainless steel backing). 

• Dimensions: 76 cm wide; 27 cm high; net volume of 56 litres. 

• Temperatures: 40°C to 80°C. Ideal for defrosting, keeping 

warm and using residual heat for cooking. 

22

Oven BX 280. 

The BX 280 consists of two ovens with a total of 

17 different heating methods. This means that several 

dishes can be prepared simultaneously. Overall, the 

appliance has a net volume of 220 litres, which means 

110 litres per cooking compartment. 

• Frontage: Stainless steel-backed full glass door (also available 

with aluminium backing). 

• Dimensions: 76 cm wide; net volume of 110 litres per cooking 

compartment. 

• 17 heating methods: Electronic temperature control from 

30°C to 300°C. 




• Rotisserie spit: For up to 6 kg of poultry, rolled roast or leg 

of lamb. Ensures everything is crispy and brown. 

• Pyrolytic system and Gaggenau enamel: Practically nothing 

sticks to this special blue enamel surface. Any stubborn 

stains are removed during automatic self-cleaning, after 

which they can simply be wiped away. 

• Baking stone: Special accessory for pizzas, bread or pastries. 


24

Pull-out system with roaster. 

Baking trays, wire racks, pans and even the rotisserie 

spit are fully extendable thanks to this effortless new 

system. If you want to baste a roast, for example, one 

simple move is enough. The pull-out system can be 

used on every level and its cast iron frame can easily be 

cleaned with the oven’s pyrolytic function. The Gaggenau 

Gastronorm roaster (GN 2 ⁄ 3) is also directly incorporated 

into the system. It is not only ideal for all ovens with a 

roasting function, but also for Combi-steam and steam 

ovens and induction cooktops. The roaster’s lid also 

serves as a casserole dish or as a piece of cookware. 

26

Core temperature probe. 

The core temperature probe lets you cook meat, fish and 

pastries or pies to perfection. Simply insert the tip 

of the probe into whatever it is you are cooking and it 

will measure the temperature in the centre, which will 

then appear on the function display. As soon as the set 

value for the inside temperature is reached, the heating 

element switches itself off automatically. A signal will 

then sound immediately and at intervals to inform you 

that the core temperature has been reached. It is a 

convenient device that can be used both for Gaggenau 

ovens and for Gaggenau Combi-steam ovens. 

28


The use of pressureless steam is one of the most effective 

cooking methods there is. In the Combi-steam oven 

BS 250, this can be combined with hot air, meaning that 

these ovens can do everything: steaming, baking, 

simmering, braising, regenerating, extracting juice.

and braising with the roasting function. See pages 26/27 for 

more details. 

31


Unlike the BS 250, the BS 274 has a fixed inlet and 

outlet water connection. Five humidity levels can be 

combined with temperatures of up to 230°C, meaning 

that these ovens can do everything: steaming, baking, 

simmering, braising, regenerating, extracting juice. 



• Dimensions: 60 cm wide; net volume of 44 litres (also available 

in a width of 76 cm).

60%, 80% or 100% humidity, as required. 





• Fixed inlet and outlet water connection: Convenient connection 

for automatic regulation of the water inlet and outlet. 






32

Combi-steam oven. 

The use of pressureless steam is one of the healthiest 

cooking methods and the best way to retain vitamins, 

minerals, consistency and colour of food. Meat is tender 

and succulent, while seafood is never too dry and vegetables 

are turned into a delicacy. Everyday meals that 

easily stick to the surface or disintegrate become easier 

to make than ever. Steam is ideal for blanching spinach, 

skinning tomatoes or gently reheating meals which have 

already been cooked. The use of hot air in cooking is 

ideal for crispy roasts and gratins – simply switch off 

the steam shortly before the end of the cooking time to 

allow everything to brown at a high temperature. The 

result: the outside will be crispy and the inside succulent 

– just like it should be.

• Dimensions: 60 cm wide; net volume of 76 litres. The largest 

oven interior in its class (also available in a width of 76 cm). 

• 17 heating methods: Electronic temperature control from 

30°C to 300°C. 




• Rotisserie spit: For up to 6 kg of poultry, rolled roast or leg

• Gastronorm roaster (GN 2 

⁄ 3): Special accessory for searing 

and braising with the roasting function. See pages 26/27 for 

more details. 

36

Heated baking stone. 

Commercial brick ovens are traditionally fired from 

below, with the heat transmitted through the stone base. 

The same principle is used here. A separate heating 

element heats the compact ceramic stone from below 

to temperatures of up to 300°C. There is no heating 

from above with this oven, so that your pastries will taste 

Danish, pizzas Italian and bread like it’s from the local 

baker’s. The baking stone and heating element are 

available as special accessories. 

38

Combi-microwave oven BM 275. 

With a design to match the 200 series ovens, the 

BM 275 Combi-microwave oven, which offers the combination 

of a microwave, a grill and an oven, includes 

various possible modes of operation. 

• Frontage: Anthracite full glass door (also available with stainless 

steel or aluminium backing).

are electronically regulated. 

• Combined operation: The three heating methods can be 

freely combined with the microwave output levels of 600, 360, 


• 15 automatic programmes: For ideal results when steaming 

or defrosting. 

Warming drawer WS 221. 

The WS 221 has space for six dinner plates including 

soup dishes. The interior is food-safe. 

• Frontage: Anthracite glass frontage (also available with stainless 

steel or aluminium backing). 

• Dimensions: 60 cm wide; net volume of 21 litres. 

• Temperatures: 40°C to 80°C. Ideal for defrosting, keeping 

warm and using residual heat for cooking. 

• Cushioned closing system: It ensures gentle closing of the 

drawer. 

Oven BO 250. 

Boasting twelve different heating methods, this oven 

can be fitted with the special baking stone accessory, 

turning it into a real brick oven – here with an anthracite 

glass frontage. The same model with a stainless steelbacked 

full glass door is shown on pages 30/31, where 

you will also find a detailed description. 

40

Warming drawer. 

Gourmets regard Gaggenau warming drawers as a 

secret compartment which can do much more than 

merely heat plates. The interior is made from hygienic 

stainless steel and glass, and it’s food-safe. At temperatures 

between 40°C and 80°C, they can be used for 

browning roasts, getting pastries to rise or keeping 

soups warm, and are also ideal for gentle defrosting. 

Warming drawers are available in three different sizes 

and can be combined with the oven, Combi-steam oven, 

Combi-microwave oven or a fully automatic espresso 

machine, as required. The WS 221 model shown here is 

in the 200 series design and is ideal for combination 

with a Combi-microwave oven as shown on pages 40/41. 

The warming drawer holds six dinner plates including 

soup bowls. 

42

Combi-microwave oven BM 270. 

With a design to match the 200 series ovens, the 

BM 270 Combi-microwave oven, which offers the combination

Professional oven EB 388. 

Top chefs love this Gaggenau classic. Though you 

wouldn’t know it from looking at it, the EB 388 is our 

oldest model. The design has been so timeless for the 

past 20 years that it still sets standards. And now as 

then, it’s manufactured almost entirely by hand – a real 

professional appliance. 

• Dimensions: 90 cm wide; net volume of 78 litres; space for 

three to four joints, large-sized game or a small lamb.

Coffee. 

Of all the food and beverages of the modern age, 

coffee has become the epitome of pleasure and 

savoir vivre. Its bitter-sweet taste and exquisite 

aroma have become a mainstay of our culture. It is 

consumed in a dazzling array of varieties and at all 

times of the day – and night. Meeting every individual 

wish requires more than just an outstanding 

coffee machine – it also calls for the instinctive 

touch and years of experience of a professional 

barista. Both of these qualities are united in our 

new fully automatic espresso machine CM 250. 

Without needing any sort of warm-up phase, it is 

ready to produce all imaginable coffee specialities 

– espresso, latte macchiato, cappuccino and milk 

coffee – within a few seconds. Special requests 

are no problem either. The CM 250 can even remember

Cooking. 

Even professional chefs and gourmets have grown 

to treasure our state-of-the-art induction technology, 

not forgetting the classic gas cooktop. Induction 

appliances react just as fast as gas appliances, while 

generating much less ambient heat. That’s why 

nowadays both technologies can be found side-byside 

in many professional kitchens. The issue of 

energy supply is often the crucial factor in deciding 

which option to go for. The electricity needed for 

glass ceramic cooktops or induction appliances is 

available just about everywhere, whereas a gas connection 

cannot be taken for granted. But help is at 

hand, because all Gaggenau gas cooktops can also 

be operated with bottled gas! This is a great way to 

install a gas cooktop next to a large glass ceramic 

cooktop. Use this chapter to read up on the countless 

advantages of Gaggenau cooktops. 

59

Vario cooktops 400 and 200 series. 

The Vario series feature perfectly specialised appliances 

for every conceivable cooking challenge: classic 

glass ceramic, gas and induction cooktops and special 

appliances for grilling, deep frying and steaming, as 

well as suitable ventilation elements. What’s more, everything 

can be combined. 

Appliances from the professional 400 series are 38 cm 

wide and made of brushed stainless steel. An illuminated 

orange ring surrounds the knobs on the front. 

Appliances from the 200 series are 28 cm wide and are

knobs are integrated into the panels of shot-blasted 

aluminium or brushed stainless steel.

Ventilation. 

Kitchen condensation doesn’t just contain odours 

and damp, but also microscopic grease particles. 

A truly effective ventilation system proves its mettle 

by its ability to capture these fatty particles in 

addition to eliminating odours. Nowadays, kitchens 

are often integrated into the living area, meaning 

that efficient ventilation systems are more important 

than ever. We think it’s important to bear every 

aspect of this bigger picture in mind. That’s why 

Gaggenau offers an appropriate cooktop and 

ventilation solution for virtually every setting and 

to suit almost every taste. However, aesthetics and 

atmosphere must not take a back seat to functionality. 

That’s why we’re not just interested in purifying 

the air, but also in enhancing your surroundings. 

89

Vario ceiling ventilation AC 402. 

Particularly appealing features of this ceiling ventilation 

integrated into the kitchen architecture are the system’s 

minimalist design and its high degree of modularity, 

which enables a flexible configuration of the individual 

ventilation elements. As a result, the AC 402 can be 

perfectly adapted to fulfil individual needs and desires. 

• Modularity: The ceiling ventilation system can be flexibly configured 

to form a custom ventilation solution. It consists of 

filter modules without motor and control and light modules. 

• Dimensions: Filter module 80 cm wide, 40 cm deep; control 

and light modules 80 cm wide, 14 cm deep; made of stainless 

steel. Powerful and quiet with external remote fan unit 

AR 400/401. 

• Control unit: All functions can be conveniently controlled 

using an infrared remote control. 

• Dimmable lighting: When switched on/off, the light gently 

fades in/out. It can also be dimmed manually. 

• Four modes: Three output modes and an intensive mode, 

which automatically reverts to the previously selected mode 

after a few minutes. 

• Run-on function: At the push of a button, the ventilation runs 

on for about ten minutes and then automatically cuts out. 

• Interval ventilation: To assist room ventilation, the AC 402 

automatically switches on for five minutes every hour. 

• Rim extraction filter: A visual treat that is extremely quiet and 

efficient. The filters are extracted using a push-to-unlock 

system that features a safety catch and can be conveniently 

cleaned in the dishwasher. See pages 102/103 for more 

details. 

• Air extraction or recirculation: Both are possible. 

90

Table ventilation AT 400. 

The AT 400 is not just a ventilation system but also a 

lighting system, while also providing additional workspace 

for serving. The first highly effective air-recirculation 

solution. Just the thing for open-plan kitchens 

with an island and for areas where venting the air to 

the outside is undesirable or impossible. 

• Dimensions: 106 cm wide, 27 cm shelf depth; made of stainless 

steel. For installation in worktops with a standard depth, 

we recommend combining it with the 35 cm-deep cooktop 

CI/CE 490. (The AT 400 is also available in a width of 136 

cm, suitable for use with three Vario cooktops in a worktop 

with a depth of 75 cm.) 

• Integrated lighting: For glare-free illumination of the whole 

cooktop. 






• Centrifugal grease filter: Removes grease and water from the 

air and collects the droplets in a drop tray. The filter and tray 

are easy to remove and can be cleaned in the dishwasher. 

• Activated charcoal odour filter mat for recirculation: This is 

located next to the blower motor in the bottom cabinet and is 

easy to remove and replace. 

• Air extraction: The AT 400 is also available in an air extraction 

variant. 

93

Downdraft ventilation VL 430 and VL 431. 

During air extraction or air-recirculation operation, steam 

and odours are quietly and effectively extracted downwards 

directly from where they arise. The ideal solution 

for kitchens where wall or island ventilation hoods cannot 

be installed due to the presence of slanted ceilings 

or windows. The perfect match for the Vario cooktops 

400 series. 

• Width: 9.3 cm; can be integrated between the cooktops to 

save space. 

• Flexible installation: The VL 431 control element and, if also 

purchased, the VL 430 supplementary element are installed 

between the Vario cooktops. The motor is installed either in 

the bottom cabinet, in the cellar or on the outside wall and 

can be combined in a space-saving manner with the downdraft 

ventilation by using compact flat ducts. 

• Stainless steel grease filter: Easy to remove and dishwashersafe. 

• Air extraction or recirculation: Both are possible in combination 

with the appropriate remote fan unit. 

Glass ceramic cooktop VC 421. 

Two Super-Quick cooking zones with twelve output levels. 

The zones can be combined to form one large roasting 

zone. Ideal for the BT 481 cast roaster. A cooktop from 

the Vario cooktops 200 series. 


For grilling without the grease – directly on the wire rack. 

See pages 64/65 for the VR 421, where you will also 

find a detailed description. 

95

Coanda hood AI 280. 

The AI 280 is the latest version of Gaggenau’s exclusive 

Coanda ventilation technology. Condensation is efficiently 

trapped on both sides of the island and sucked 

into the ventilation system. This means that the AI 280 

produces a level of performance that conventional 

systems only achieve when running at maximum speed. 

To find out more about the Coanda effect, see the 

next page. 

• Dimensions: 120 cm wide, 70 cm deep; made of stainless 

steel (also available with an aluminium coating). 

• Quiet and economical: Highly effective, even when on a 

low output level. This helps to conserve energy and lower the 

noise level. 

• Dimmable cooktop lighting: When switched on/off, the light 

gently fades in/out. It can also be dimmed manually. 



after a few minutes. Can be operated from both sides. 



96

Coanda effect. 

Aerodynamic research led to the discovery of the 

Coanda effect. The unique shape of the ventilation hood 

leads to the emergence of an additional air current along 

its front edge. This air current traps rising condensation 

before it has a chance to escape over the edge of the 

appliance, and drives it straight into the outlet. This 

helps to save energy, while also siphoning off less temperate 

air. Since it’s an astonishingly quiet system, it 

makes working in the kitchen a much more pleasurable 

experience. The Coanda effect kicks in on both sides 

when using an island hood. One of Gaggenau’s many 

innovations.

Rim extraction filter. 

This filter is quiet and has a calm appearance. Behind 

the stainless steel cover is a full-width mesh filter that 

quietly and efficiently removes grease from cooking 

vapours. The filter surface is removed as a unit and 

cleaned in the dishwasher. Doing so is no problem, 

thanks to the push-to-unlock system with safety catch. 

103

Freshness. 

Freshness is one of the most important ingredients 

when one is preparing dishes of the highest quality. 

It’s also one of the most sensitive. Just one second’s 

distraction is enough to irreparably overcook it. Baking 

and cooking with steam is one of the gentlest preparation 

methods. That’s because cooking with pressureless 

steam largely retains the colour, vitamins and 

minerals of vegetables. Meat and fish cannot dry out, 

and the natural consistency is retained so it tastes just 

the way it should. Further information on steam-baking 

and cooking can be found on pages 34/35 and in our 

glossary.

Flavour. 

Both with storage and cooking, it is important to retain 

the food’s unique flavour. With mushrooms for instance, 

any soil or leaves should be removed using only a fine 

mushroom brush before cleaning them with a damp 

cloth. Afterwards, they should be cooked or prepared 

as quickly as possible. To give them a more intense 

taste for later consumption, they can also be dried – for 

two hours on a baking tray at around 80°C with recirculation. 

Dried mushrooms can be kept in airtight containers 

for months on end, and even the smallest quantity is 

enough to enliven soups and stews.

Recipes. 

There are two types of cooks – on the one hand there are 

the traditional types who prefer classic recipes from their 

country’s national cuisine and, on the other, there are the 

more experimental ones – the type who, for example, 

don’t shy away from creating a delicacy from maize and 

caviar, which they call “liquid ravioli”. The Vario series of 

cooking appliances offer a wide range of cooktops for 

both types of cook. These can be assembled entirely 

according to individual requirements and added to at 

any time – so you can switch from a classic gas cooktop 

to Teppan Yaki or an induction wok. This makes 

Vario cooktops the ideal option for all kinds of recipes.

Smells and odours. 

The smell of baking cakes is generally a welcome aroma, 

but other odours arise during cooking which are not so 

pleasant. Many tips exist on this subject. In the case of 

cabbage for instance, adding a bouquet of parsley or a 

walnut to the water while cooking is recommended to 

reduce the odour. This holds for all types of cabbage, 

including Brussels sprouts, cauliflower or savoy cabbage. 

However, confusion prevails when an odour is drifting 

through the refrigerator and affecting other foods. Here, 

there is no simple cure – only first-rate technology. For 

this reason, many of our cooling appliances feature a 

ventilation system with an activated charcoal air filter. The 

appliances of the Vario cooling 400 series have been 

additionally equipped with a stainless steel interior to 

prevent the build-up of odours. This appeals to the eyes 

as well as the nose.

Vitamins. 

Herbs and spices such as parsley, dill, sweet basil and 

garlic flowers refine every good meal. They are also 

rich in vital vitamins, trace elements and minerals. The 

importance of stable storage of these natural materials 

is widely known. In order to create ideal conditions for 

many different types of food, we’ve incorporated a variety 

of climate zones inside our cooling appliances. These 

enable temperatures and humidity to be individually 

controlled and adjusted to meet the individual needs of 

each type of food.

122

Cooling. 

Professional chefs know that there are great differences 

in how food needs to be stored. Some foodstuffs 

require that little bit longer to mature, while 

others favour a particularly cool environment. Exclusive 

drinks are stored at cool temperatures, but need 

to be brought up to drinking temperature with care 

and precision. In order to meet the highest demands, 

we’ve continued to develop our range of cooling 

appliances unabated. We offer refrigerators with up 

to five different climate zones that can be controlled 

to the exact degree. Or specialised appliances for 

professionally storing food close to the 0°C level 

used in modern refrigerated warehouses. And the 

finest wine climate cabinets, which are virtually vibration-free. 

123

Vario cooling 400 series. 

The Vario cooling series is the first modular system made 

from fully integrated built-in appliances. Refrigerators, 

freezers, fridge-freezer combinations and wine cabinets 

can be combined in countless variations to form an elegant 

cooling wall. For those who prefer stainless steel 

or aluminium doors rather than the individual furniture 

panels, these are available as an optional extra. The 

interiors of Vario cooling appliances are stainless steel 

throughout. Ample illumination is provided by the side 

light ele ments and ceiling spots. Vario cooling appliances 

also set new technical standards – they are the 

quietest in their class and nearly all of them have been 

awarded the energy efficiency class A+. 

124

126

Vario fridge-freezer combination RB 491. 

The RB 491 combines all the advantages of the new 

Vario cooling 400 series in one appliance. The top half 

is a classic cooling compartment, while underneath is a 

4-star freezer drawer. The cooling compartment in the 

RY 491 is also available with a choice of two doors. 

• Dimensions: 91.4 cm wide; net volume of 530 litres. 

• Stainless steel interior: Uniquely attractive and hygienic. 

• Generous lighting concept: Light pillars on the side and 

ceiling spots illuminate the entire interior.

Solid aluminium door racks. 

Gaggenau cooling appliances boast not only extremely 

precise cooling technology but also high-quality interior 

fittings. The door racks in the Vario cooling 400 series 

are made from solid shot-blasted aluminium, made with 

millimetre precision and fitted by hand. The use of 

authentic materials makes the racks extremely strong; 

for example, the lower door rack in the RB/RY 491 

fridge-freezer combination can bear a full 25 kilos.

Stainless steel interior. 

The interiors of all the appliances in our Vario cooling 

400 series are panelled in stainless steel – a material 

chosen for more than just its visual qualities. Stainless 

steel also guarantees 100 per cent hygiene. Giving 

off no harmful substances itself, when in contact with 

oxygen and moisture it can work to neutralize odours. 

This added benefit takes place at the molecular level 

and – in the refrigerators at least – remains completely 

invisible to the human eye. In the freezers, by contrast, 

the stainless steel is covered by an extremely thin 

sheen, resembling a frost pattern that provides visible 

proof of the appliance’s functionality.

Bottle trays made from untreated beech. 

At Gaggenau, wine storage is an art form in itself. 

Sophisticated technology makes for almost vibrationfree 

operation while providing an environment that 

approaches the ideal conditions of a cool wine cellar. 

The valuable bottles are stored in exclusive and prestigious 

style on solid trays that can easily be extended. 

These are made from aluminium and untreated beech, 

thereby preventing any transfer of taste or aroma. Furthermore, 

the beech rods are rounded. Apart from looking 

good, this also helps to protect the delicate wine labels.

Vario cooling 200 series. 

Every aspect of this series is new. Even though the 

outer dimensions can be integrated into any standard 

kitchen, the interiors offer significantly more space than 

you would expect from appliances in the highest energy 

efficiency class. On the one hand, part of the technology 

has been moved into the plinth. On the other, the 

concept is remarkably well thought out and flexible. 

All of the shelves are fully extendable. No more delicacies 

disappearing into the background. The space is 

optimally used. An innovative aluminium stepped shelf 

has been designed so that multiple Gastronorm inserts 

of differing sizes can be hung from it as needed. The 

shelf itself provides a comfortable amount of space for 

items of different heights. Making room – room for new 

standards. 

Naturally, we don’t restrict such an innovative usage 

concept just to built-in appliances. That’s why we’ve 

extended the series to include a free-standing version 

that fulfils all your requirements while enabling you to 

take a flexible approach to the nature of your space. 

144

For those who appreciate the advantages of Gastronorm 

inserts, the stepped shelf is another element in the 

smooth operation of the kitchen. The practical inserts, 

which are equally suitable for storage, preparation, 

cooking and serving, can be rapidly and exactly stowed 

in the refrigerator thanks to the stepped shelf. At the 

same time, the steps enable the storage of items of 

different heights.

And they’re fast too. The new Vario dishwashers 

take just 57 minutes to wash and dry a fully 

loaded machine, which is a new world record. One 

of the things responsible for this exceptional performance 

is our innovative Zeolite technology. The 

silicate material absorbs moisture and releases 

heat in the process – something that the appliance 

utilises in several different ways. Depending on the 

option chosen, programme times can be shortened, 

energy can be saved or drying performance can 

be enhanced. Zeolite completely regenerates itself 

after each wash cycle and lasts as long as the machine 

itself, which means that this new technology 

is also a quantum leap in terms of energy balance.

Accessories. 

As with all forms of art, successful cooking is 

dependent on the tools of the trade. Professionals 

are loath to accept any compromise in this department. 

Work processes have to flow smoothly into one 

another without the cook having to think about it. 

The Gastronorm system makes sure this is the case. 

Fresh fish and vegetables as well as marinated foods 

can be prepared for cooking in the hygienic stainless 

steel inserts and kept in the refrigerator until they are 

needed. These inserts can be placed directly in the 

Combi-steam or steam oven for cooking; there’s no 

need to transfer the food to different containers. This 

leaves your head and hands free for the essentials: 

inspiration, intuition and timing. 

166

168

Gastronorm system. 

The Gastronorm system is the key to ensuring the 

efficiency of every move made in the kitchen. It enables 

everything to proceed smoothly – from preparation and 

cooking to serving at the table and storage. The Gastronorm 

accessories can be used with the appliances of 

the Vario cooling 200 series, the induction cooktops, 

the ovens and the Combi-steam and steam ovens. 

Gastronorm inserts GN 114, GN 124 and GN 126. 

These inserts made of hygienic stainless steel, which 

are available perforated or unperforated, are perfectly 

suited to steam cooking, storage in the refrigerator or 

serving at the table. They are dishwasher-safe, easy 

to clean and available in the sizes GN 1 ⁄ 3, GN 2 ⁄ 3 and 

GN 2 ⁄ 8. The matching covers for storing food and keeping 

it fresh are also available as special accessories. 

Gastronorm inserts are also shown on pages 148/149. 

Gastronorm roaster GN 340. 

This roaster is ideally suited to all ovens with a roasting 

function, Combi-steam and steam ovens, and induction 

cooktops. See pages 26/27 for more details. 

Gastronorm sink GN 710. 

This sink is compatible with almost every imaginable 

Gastronorm appliance and utensil. Smooth workflows 

and processes are the result. Gastronorm inserts can 

be used for preparing food, as can the Gastronorm 

chopping board in the sizes GN 2 ⁄ 3 und GN 2 ⁄ 8 and the 

Gastronorm roaster. Everything interlocks and fits 

together perfectly.

The Gaggenau online showroom. 

All of the fascination of Gaggenau products can be 

experienced all over the world – in unusual showrooms, 

their spectacular mobile spin-offs and now – even more 

easily – also in a multifaceted online world. The voyage 

of discovery starts in the austere landscape of the 

Mongolian steppe, taking the visitor via Bali’s untouched 

nature and fascinating, modern New York to the aristocratic 

grandeur of a Venetian palazzo. The range of 

material and appliance combinations can be experienced 

along the way. In the “Balinese Pagoda”, for example, 

natural materials meet aluminium surfaces in a combination 

as harmonious as the interplay between traditional 

Balinese architecture and the exotic landscape. All of 

the details of the Gaggenau products’ sophisticated 

workings and their extensive range of functions can be 

thoroughly examined in close-up. Take a look for yourself 

at www.gaggenau.com/onlineshowroom. 

173

Over 40 permanent exhibitions worldwide. 

Almost every country on earth now has a Gaggenau 

showroom, many of which were laid out by renowned 

interior designers from the particular region. The flagship 

showrooms are of particular interest here. They 

tend to be larger and are situated in prime locations. 

Their conceptual planning is carried out solely by 

Gaggenau designers. In order to do full justice to the 

brand, specific regional factors are perfectly intertwined 

with the Gaggenau philosophy. All the exhibitions are 

designed to enable people to experience the world of 

the Gaggenau brand. You can find the addresses on 

page 196 ff. and more detailed information, including 

opening hours, at www.gaggenau.com. In the list on the

The Gaggenau flagship showroom in Singapore. 

There’s scarcely another spot in the world where so 

many cultures come together as in Singapore. Chinese, 

Indian, Malay and many other influences are all-pervasive 

here. And that also goes for the cuisine of this 

fascinating city-state. Traditional recipes are forever 

being reinvented, providing an overwhelming cornucopia 

of national dishes. Deep in the heart of this melting 

pot, Gaggenau invites you to appreciate this culinary 

diversity in an exclusive atmosphere. Special cooking 

appliances such as the Vario Teppan Yaki can be presented 

and tried out at live cooking events and individual 

cookery courses. A generous lounge area is also 

available for special occasions. The Heritage Wall is 

another unusual highlight of the flagship showroom, 

captivating the visitor with Gaggenau’s history and 

showing the company’s most important milestones and 

events. Made from the wood of an original Black Forest 

hut, it builds a bridge between German tradition and 

Singapore’s diversity.

Glossary. 

Anti-clump ice system 

This prevents ice cubes from 

clumping together in the Vario 

RF 413 and RF 463 freezers. 

This involves moving the ice 

cubes at regular intervals. 

A 

Activated charcoal air filter 

In order to keep cooling appliances 

and wine climate cabinets 

free of odours, the air 

circulates through an antibacterial 

activated charcoal air filter 

that removes and captures 

odour particles. In ventilation 

systems with recirculation, the 

filter removes odours from the 

cooking steam before the air is 

recirculated into the kitchen. 

Actual temperature display 

Precise temperature control and 

monitoring are especially important 

when preparing certain 

dishes. The actual temperature 

display allows you to check the 

temperature in the cooking compartment 

whenever you want. 

If, for example, you turn down the 

temperature, it enables you to 

see when the new desired temperature 

has been reached in 

order to get maximum benefit 

from residual heat. Not even all 

commercial appliances have 

this unique Gaggenau feature, 

which is highly appreciated by 

discerning home chefs. 

Air cleaning catalyst 

A catalyst in the oven’s interior 

rids the air of grease particles 

and odours. This means that the 

kitchen no longer smells of intensive 

oven odours. The heated 

catalyst also delivers optimal 

performance at low tem pe ratures. 

A unique Gaggenau 

feature. 

Air extraction/air circulation 

Most Gaggenau ventilation 

hoods are available as air extraction 

or air circulation appliances. 

In both cases the air, 

which contains grease particles 

and odours, passes through 

a grease filter that protects the 

inside of the hood and the 

extraction pipes from deposits. 

On the air extraction version, 

the pre-filtered air is conducted 

through the wall into the open 

air or into a ventilation shaft. On 

the recirculation version, the 

odours are absorbed by an additional 

active charcoal filter so 

that nothing but odour-free air is 

conducted back into the kitchen. 

To ensure optimum efficiency, 

the charcoal filter should be 

changed twice a year. 

Aluminium door racks 

These adjustable racks offer 

plenty of storage space and 

have a variety of uses. Made 

from solid anodised aluminium, 

they are particularly hygienic 

and easy to clean, while also 

preventing odour transfer from 

food. 

Appliance cover 

All 38 and 28 cm-wide cooktops 

in the Vario cooktops series can 

be fitted with a cover. This is 

available as a special accessory 

for all appliances with the exception 

of the electric grill, which 

includes the cover in its scope 

of delivery. The covers of the 

400 series are made of stainless 

steel; those of the 200 series 

are available in stainless steel 

(ribbed) and aluminium (smooth). 

Aqua sensor 

This reduces the consumption 

of fresh water without compromising 

cleaning results. With 

normal soiling, up to six litres of 

water can be saved, depending 

on the programme chosen. The 

Aqua sensor detects whether 

the water is clean enough for the 

next wash cycle. If so, the water 

change procedure is skipped. 

Regardless of how cloudy the 

water is, the system also detects 

small dirt particles. To do so, it 

uses an infrared sensor that 

detects fats, oils and proteins, 

as well as an additional green 

light sen sor that recognises 

substances such as tea residue 

or bits of spinach. 

Aquastop 

A multi-active and networkindependent 

system of protection 

devices prevents damage 

caused by water. With all our 

dishwashers, users are no 

longer required to manually turn 

the water tap on/off (which is 

otherwise necessary). Even if 

the appliance is switched off, 

the discharge pump is immedi- 

178

ately activated if there is a leak 

or flooding. All this with a lifelong 

performance guarantee. 

Aroma brewing technology 

This technology ensures an 

intense coffee taste. Regardless 

of its quantity, the coffee 

powder is perfectly pressed 

together in the brewing chamber. 

During the brewing operation, 

the coffee powder is 

swirled under high pressure to 

wet all of the grains with water 

and release all of the flavours. 

Automatic cleaning and 

descaling programme 

The fully automatic espresso 

machine has a computer-controlled 

cleaning and descaling 

programme. The most important 

steps are shown on the display 

screen and the rest is controlled 

automatically. The only requirement 

is to ensure the appropriate 

cleaning or descaling agent 

is used. 

Automatic detergent 

function 

The dishwasher’s control system 

automatically detects when detergent 

tablets are being used 

instead of individual de tergents. 

The programme is adjusted to 

suit the particular con centration 

of components, thereby ensuring 

optimal cleaning and drying 

results. This function does not 

have to be set manually and 

guarantees great results regardless 

of water hardness. 

Automatic programmes 

with weight specification 

These provide excellent results 

when cooking or defrosting 

fresh or deep-frozen food in 

the Combi-microwave oven or 

the microwave. Simply select 

the desired programme and 

enter the weight of the meal. 

B 

Booster function 

This is used for quick boiling on 

induction cooktops. The booster 

function increases the power 

in each cooking zone by 50% 

for a short period of time. Since 

this additional power is taken 

from an adjoining cooking zone, 

the function is only used if the 

adjoining cooking zone is not 

being used. 

Built-in appliance 

Fully integrated appliances: 

Can be fully integrated into a 

built-in niche, flush-fitted with 

the furniture elements on the 

side, and covered with furniture 

panels. 

Integrated appliances: These 

can be integrated in a built-in 

niche where only the appliance 

door protrudes. The air supply 

and extraction system in the 

plinth allows these appliances 

to be fitted without any gaps at 

the sides. 

Appliance cover. All 38 and 

28 cm-wide cooktops in the 

Vario cooktops series can be 

fitted with a cover. The covers 

of the 200 series are available 

in stainless steel (ribbed) and, 

as shown here, in aluminium 

(smooth). 

Automatic defrosting in the 

freezer compartment 

See No-Frost technology. 

Automatic defrosting with 

evaporation of condensation 

water 

The cooling compartment evaporator 

is defrosted automatically 

at regular intervals. The temperatures 

in the cooling compartment 

remain virtually unchanged 

during this process. The small 

quantity of condensation water 

is led via an outlet channel into 

a container where it evaporates. 

The minimum storage temperature 

is kept constant in the 4-star 

freezer compartment during 

defrosting. 

Baking stone 

This accessory turns your oven 

into a professional brick oven. 

The baking stone is heated to 

temperatures of up to 300°C 

by a separate heating element. 

Ideal for bread or pizza. 

Baking tray spray head 

For cleaning large items such 

as baking trays, wire racks, 

metal filters or vases in the 

dishwasher. The upper basket 

can be removed from the dishwasher 

and the baking tray 

spray head – which is supplied 

as standard – can be fitted. The 

even distribution of the water 

jets ensures optimum washing 

results. 

C 

Capacity display for filter 

cartridge 

See water filter. 

Cast pan support with 

special enamelling 

With Vario gas appliances this 

is one-piece, while with larger 

gas cooktops it is two or threepiece; 

prevents even small pots 

and pans from toppling over. 

Not suitable for cleaning in a 

dishwasher. 

Baking stone. It can transform 

your oven into a professional 

brick oven. A separate heating 

element provides the necessary 

heat. 

179

Cellar compartment. Separate compartment for the storage of 

foods which are sensitive to cold. The temperatures can be set to 

between 6°C and 14°C as desired. 

Cast roaster for glass 

ceramic cooktops 

A premium-quality, hand-cast 

roaster made from non-stick 

coated aluminium glass, developed 

by Gaggenau specially for 

the 18 x 41.5 cm roasting zone 

on glass ceramic cooktops. 

Since the roasting zone is covered 

precisely, energy use is 

optimal and the thick heat-conducting 

base guarantees an even 

heat distribution and optimum 

heat conservation. The lid of the 

roaster can also be used as 

cookware, e.g. for roasting. The 

non-stick coating enables lowfat 

cooking and ensures easy 

cleaning. Can also be used in a 

76 or 90 cm-wide oven. 

Catalytic special enamelling 

The special enamelling at the 

back of ovens means that ovens 

without the pyrolytic system 

are now easier to clean. During 

the process of catalysis, dirt is 

broken down by oxidation with 

atmospheric oxygen at temperatures 

upwards of 200°C. This 

cleaning takes place while the 

oven is in normal use. If the oven 

is very dirty, you are advised to 

clean the non-coated surfaces 

by hand, and then heat the oven 

up to about 200°C for a few 

minutes. This is a particularly 

good way of dissolving fatty 

stains. The pyrolytic system is 

the only system capable of 

optimum oven cleaning. 

Cellar compartment 

Separate compartment for the 

storage of foods which are 

sensitive to cold, such as fruits 

(pineapples, bananas, lemons, 

avocados), potatoes or ready-tospread 

butter and drinks such 

as milk or beer at temperatures 

which can be set to between 

6°C and 14°C as desired. 

Centrifugal grease filter 

The air current from the table 

ventilation system is rerouted 

several times in this filter, thereby 

ensuring that grease particles 

are efficiently captured and 

expelled. The filter elements can 

be cleaned in the dishwasher. 

Cleaning programme in the 

Combi-steam oven 

Soiling inside the oven is softened 

with the help of steam. The 

inside of the oven can then be 

easily cleaned. 

Climate class 

The functions of a refrigerator 

depend on the appliance’s 

ambient temperature. An appliance’s 

climate class indicates 

the range of ambient temperatures 

for which it is suitable: 

SN: 10°C to 32°C, N: 16°C 

to 32°C, ST: 16°C to 38°C, 

T : 16 °C to 43°C. 

Coanda effect 

This aerodynamic technique 

is used by Gaggenau to extract 

the cooking fumes which occur 

at the front of a cooktop 

more efficiently. Part of the airflow 

generated by the fan exits 

through the top of the ventilation 

hood and is guided downwards 

over the rounded front 

edge, intercepting fumes which 

might otherwise get past the 

front of the ventilation hood. 

This new air conduction system 

enables efficient air purification 

even at lower power levels. As 

a result, less energy is used and 

less temperate air is removed 

from the room. At the same 

time, the noise level is considerably 

reduced. 

180

Coffee strength 

The strength of the coffee can 

be individually selected in five 

steps ranging from “mild” to 

“extra strong” (quantity of coffee 

from 8 to 20 g). For the two 

strongest settings, the double 

shot function ensures even 

stronger coffee without loss of 

aroma. To create optimum 

preparation conditions, both the 

grinding and brewing processes 

are repeated for double measures 

of coffee or espresso. The 

setting is shown in the LCD 

function display. 

Container for 

second coffee type 

In addition to fresh beans, a 

second ground coffee type can 

be used. 

Continuous flow heater 

The heating system of the fully 

automatic espresso machine 

consists of a continuous flow 

heater. This ensures a constant 

and optimal brewing temperature 

of 90°C to 95°C and thus 

guarantees a perfect aroma. It 

also supplies hot water, e.g. for 

brewing tea. The system only 

heats when it is in use, and is 

thus extremely energy-efficient. 

It is ready for use in less than 

30 seconds after switch-on. 

Cooking timer 

The time at which you want one 

or more cooking zones to be 

automatically switched off can 

be selected up to 90 minutes 

in advance. The integrated clock 

can also be used as a shortterm 

timer, irrespective of the 

appliance’s other functions. 

In the case of appliances from 

the Vario cooktop 400 series, 

the cooking timer is available as 

an accessory via the connection 

strip with timer. Each connection 

strip can be used to operate 

two appliances. 

Cooled housing with 

overheating protection 

Gaggenau ovens have a temperature 

protection system to 

protect the appliance and the 

fitted units from overheating, as 

well as an automatically cooled 

housing which continues to cool 

down the appliance after the 

oven has been used. 

Core temperature probe 

with automatic shut-off 

The core temperature probe in 

ovens and Combi-steam ovens 

controls the temperature in 

the centre of food. Appliances 

switch themselves off once the 

desired core temperature has 

been attained. This ensures that 

no matter what is being cooked, 

it is always cooked just the way 

it should be. The core temperature 

probe can also be removed. 

Cushioned door closing 

system of the Vario cooling 

200 series 

This enables soft and controlled 

closure of the door from a 

20-degree door opening angle. 

The system is integrated into 

the door hinge. 

D 

Deep fryer 

Basket hangers: Two baskets 

can be inserted into the cover 

for simultaneous draining. 

Cleaning level (Vario 400): 

Water for cleaning the deep 

fryer can be brought to the 

correct temperature of around 

40°C in the appliance itself. 

Fat melting setting: This gentle, 

smoke-free heating method 

enables fat to be used considerably 

longer. It is equally suitable 

for the use of oil or solid fat. 

Swing-out heating element: 

For easy cleaning of the stainless 

steel vat, the heating 

element can simply be pulled 

out and up. 

Three-zone, professional 

kitchen design: 

· Foam expansion zone: The 

upper part of the frying basin 

is widened to prevent the oil 

from overflowing during the 

deep-frying of food containing 

water or which is deepfrozen. 

· Deep-frying zone: Located 

directly above the electro n- 

ically controlled, swing-out 

heating element. 

· Cold oil zone: Food particles 

which break off during 

deep-frying sink into the cold 

oil zone under the heating 

element, where the oil temperature 

is lower than in the 

deep-frying zone. The particles 

cannot burn and release 

no flavour into the oil. This 

means that fat can be used 

for much longer. 

Defrost assistance in the 

freezer compartment 

During defrosting, the bottom 

drawer of the freezer serves as 

a collector for the condensation 

water. 

181

Descaling programme 

Downdraft ventilation 

E 

Downdraft ventilation. A highlyeffective 

alternative to classic 

ventilation hoods. Downdraft 

ventilation is integrated into the 

cooktop and it siphons off cooking 

vapours right there where 

they emerge. 

The vaporiser container, which 

is used to generate steam in the 

interior of a Combi-steam oven 

with a water tank, or a steam 

oven, can be descaled effortlessly 

using this programme. 

Simply fill the water tank with a 

descaling solution and the programme 

takes around 30 minutes. 

Door opening angle in 

the Vario cooling 200 and 

400 series 

The wide-opening doors, which 

open to a 115-degree angle, are 

truly unique. It’s all thanks to 

the particularly sturdy hinges. 

Where necessary, these hinges 

can also be fixed at 90 degrees. 

Drawers and shelves can then 

be fully extended. 

Door panel 

(special accessory) 

Designed to match the 200 series 

ovens, a stainless steel, aluminium-backed 

or anthracite full 

glass door panel is available for 

all 81.5 cm and 86.5 cm-high 

dishwashers. 

Dosage assist 

Integrated into the top basket, 

the dosage assist ensures that 

detergent tablets are fully dissolved 

in a controlled manner. 

This is a prerequisite for en suring 

the best possible clean ing 

results. Tablets can no lon ger 

fall between plates or into the 

cutlery basket. What’s more, the 

dosage chamber is positioned 

in a way that prevents scraps of 

food from dropping into it during 

loading. Yet another advantage: 

the jet spray no longer 

directly hits the inner door and 

the appliance is quieter. 

An interesting and highly-effective 

alternative to classic ventilation 

hoods. Downdraft ventilation 

is integrated directly into 

the cooktop and it siphons 

off cooking vapours right there 

where they emerge. Even the 

steam from tall pots is effectively 

removed if the lid is left 

slightly open at the side towards 

the ventilation. If you value clear 

contours and unrestricted headroom 

in your kitchen, downdraft 

ventilation is definitely the 

most unobtrusive solution. The 

design of Gaggenau downdraft 

ventilation units is the perfect 

match for cooktops from the 

Vario 200 and 400 series. All 

downdraft ventilation units are 

configured with separate remote 

fan units for air extraction 

or recirculation and can also be 

installed in the lower cabinet 

using flat ducts to save space. 

Drying programme 

With this function, the inside 

of the Combi-steam oven can 

be dried with hot air. The drying 

procedure takes about 20 minutes 

and is recommended after 

each steaming or cleaning procedure. 

Dynamic cold air distribution 

A ventilator ensures an even 

temperature distribution across 

the whole cooling compartment, 

thus ensuring longer food-storage 

times. With dynamic cold 

air distribution with Multi-Air- 

Flow, an additional air channel 

in the door and additional vents 

in the cooling compartment ensure 

faster and more constant 

temperature distribution. 

Eco 

In this operating mode, all 

energy-dependent functions of 

the oven are optimised to make 

them especially energy-saving. 

For example, the light is switched 

off or any available residual heat 

is used for baking or roasting. 

Electric grill 

Independently controlled 

heating elements: This enables 

you to grill in the front section, 

while the rear section is used 

for keeping warm. Both glow 

bars can be folded up for cleaning 

the lava stone container. 

With the 400 series wire rack, the 

heating elements are covered 

so that smoke emissions are very 

low, since grease is prevented 

from dripping onto the heating 

elements. 

Solid cast roaster: Practical 

accessory for grilling and 

cooking on a smooth surface, 

e.g. shrimps or vegetables. 

Also just the thing for preparing 

egg-based dishes such as pancakes 

or crêpes. 

Stainless steel container 

with lava stones: With a perforated 

base so that grease 

can drip into the removable drip 

tray. The stainless steel container 

and the grease drip tray 

can be cleaned in the dishwasher. 

The lava stones need to 

be changed when they become 

heavily soiled. 

Electronic boiling point 

detection 

This calibration enables the 

electronic system to detect the 

boiling point automatically. 

This enables the same cooking 

results to be achieved regard- 

182

less of the altitude of the installation 

location above sea level. 

Electronic flame monitoring 

with automatic re-ignition 

If a burner’s gas flame is extinguished 

accidentally, it is reignited 

immediately, and should the 

automatic re-ignition of the flame 

fail, the gas supply for all burners 

is interrupted immediately: 

Maximum safety due to the 

principle of ionisation. 

Electronic temperature 

control 

with the overall average. Particularly 

economical appliances 

are graded as energy efficiency 

classes A and B – or even A++ 

and A+ for cooling appliances 

and freezers. For dishwashers, 

there is a further classification 

alongside the energy efficiency 

class – the so-called 

Euro label rating also the cleaning 

efficiency and drying efficiency 

of different appliances. 

All Gaggenau dishwashers bear 

the AAA label. This is awarded 

to appliances that are particularly 

energy-efficient while deliver - 

ing exceptional cleaning and drying 

performance. 

Fast freezing 

This maximum power setting is 

for the quick freezing of unfrozen 

items, while also preventing already 

frozen items from warming 

up when new items are added to 

the compartment. What’s more, 

fast freezing has a beneficial impact 

on the durability and quality 

of frozen food after thawing. 

This setting ensures that the 

cell structure of frozen food is 

not damaged by the freezing 

process, thereby preserving the 

food’s taste and freshness. The 

appliance automatically reverts 

to the standard mode. 

Precise temperature control in 

ovens, Combi-steam ovens and 

Combi-microwave ovens prevents 

temperature peaks which 

might impair the cooking of 

delicate dishes. With cooling 

appliances, precise temperature 

setting enables longer storage 

times. Operation of all settings 

and special functions is via the 

keyboard, and the temperature 

is displayed digitally. 

Energy consumption 

The energy consumption of a 

cooling appliance is determined 

according to the German DIN 

EN 153 standard, at 220 V/50 Hz. 

The annual energy consumption 

is shown, as is the energy 

consumption per 100 litres of 

net volume per day. The latter 

enables appliances of various 

sizes to be compared; deviations 

may occur during everyday 

operation. 

Energy label 

This is a Europe-wide code for 

the energy efficiency class 

and provides information about 

the energy consumption of appli 

ances. The different classes 

in dicate how economical a particular 

appliance is compared 

F 

Fan unit 

Downdraft ventilation units and 

ventilation hoods are operated 

via a separate fan. Fan units can 

be installed, depending on the 

construction type, in kitchen 

furniture, in another adjoining 

room, in the cellar, loft or outside, 

on the wall or roof. As in 

the case of an integrated fan, 

the functions are controlled via 

the control panel of the ventilation 

unit. The remote fan units 

can be supplied for air extraction 

or recirculation. Flat ducts 

that connect the remote fan unit 

and ventilation system with one 

another in a space-saving and 

efficient manner are available as 

accessories. 

Fast cooling 

Similar in function and effect to 

the fast freezing function. Automatic 

fast cooling generates the 

maximum chilling power, thereby 

minimising the warming up 

of items already stored in the 

refrigerator when new items are 

added. The appliance auto ma t- 

ically reverts to the standard 

mode. 

Fast ignition 

Press the knob on the gas 

cooktop, turn to the desired 

setting and release – the electronics 

immediately ignite the 

flame and keep it burning without 

the user having to keep the 

knob pressed. 

Fixed inlet and outlet water 

connection 

During installation, the Combisteam 

oven is connected directly 

to the water inlet and outlet. 

This means that fresh water is 

always available for all cooking 

tasks and that you don’t have to 

fill and empty a water tank. 

Flexible hinge 

Some of the fully integrated 

dishwashers are equipped 

with a flexible hinge. The hinge 

prevents collisions between the 

furniture panel and the appliance 

plinth and enables, for example, 

installation in tall units with a 

one-piece furniture panel.

Flex Plus basket system. For great versatility and convenience 

when loading and unloading. 

Gaggenau enamel. Practically 

nothing sticks to this special 

blue enamel surface. To clean, 

it usually suffices to wipe it 

with a wet sponge and a little 

washing-up liquid. 

Flex Plus basket system 

For greater versatility and convenience 

when loading and 

unloading. This system is parti c- 

ularly flexible and can accommodate 

plates with a diameter 

of up to 33 cm. All dishwashers 

with 6 programmes feature this 

system as standard. 

Flex Plus drawer: It is available 

as a special accessory for all 

dishwashers with 6 programmes. 

Used as a third loading level 

above the upper basket, it is 

ideal for large items of cutlery, 

cooking utensils or espresso 

cups. When fitted with this drawer, 

the dishwasher’s capacity 

increases to 14 place settings. 

Lower basket: With dividable 

glass holders, folding spines, 

foldable racks and a large 

cutlery basket, this provides 

plenty of leeway to load the 

appliance as you see fit. 

Upper basket: The extra 

extendable, smooth running 

pull-out rack and Rackmatic 

mean there’s virtually no limit 

to the possible loading combinations. 

Thanks to its ball bearing 

mounted telescopic rails, 

the basket can be easily pulled 

out – even when carrying a 

heavy load. What’s more, dishes 

and glasses are easy to access, 

even when they are at the back 

of the appliance. All folding 

spines, foldable racks and glass 

support bars can be fully folded, 

thereby ensuring even greater 

flexibility. 

Freezing capacity 

The maximum amount of unfrozen 

goods that can be cooled 

down to at least –24°C within 

24 hours. 

Fresh cooling 

In order to preserve appearance, 

taste and nutrients for 

longer, the fresh cooling compartment 

is kept up to 3°C 

cooler. This means that fresh 

meat, ham, salami and cheese 

can be stored for almost twice 

as long as in conventional cooling 

systems. 

Fresh cooling close to 0°C 

Creates storage conditions for 

fresh food similar to a professional 

cold storage unit. The 

temperature in the fresh cooling 

zone is kept consistently at just 

above 0°C. Unwanted decomposition 

processes are slowed 

down, food is kept fresh for an 

average of twice as long as in 

conventional cooling systems, 

and there is no danger of food 

being spoiled through overcooling. 

Fridge-freezer combination 

Bottom freezer: A classic 

American design with the freezer 

compartment at the bottom, 

giving optimal access to the 

wide storage area which is ideal 

for cooling bulky items, such as 

large serving platters or a whole 

salmon. 

Side-by-side combination: 

A classic American design with 

the refrigerator and freezer 

sections positioned side-by-side. 

Items that are needed on a regular 

basis can be stored within 

easy reach in either compartment. 

Frying sensor 

The frying sensor function lets 

you make fried food that is 

healthier and uniquely delicious. 

This is because the frying sensor 

ensures that the temperature 

remains constant – enabling 

the food to be browned 

evenly on all sides. At the same 

time, the constant temperature 

prevents the pan from overheating. 

This saves energy and is 

184

healthy because no fumes are 

produced and the fat doesn’t 

burn. Once a particular cooking 

zone has been selected, the 

frying sensor function is activated 

by touching the graphic 

thermometer symbol on the 

cooktop. As soon as the ideal 

temperature has been reached 

for starting to fry, there is an 

audible signal. Apart from the 

pre-set frying level “min”, three 

other levels can be chosen – 

“med”, “med+” and “max” depending 

on the type of food you 

want to fry. 

Fully automatic rinse 

programme 

Whenever the fully automatic 

espresso machine is switched 

on or off, all water pipes – including 

the coffee dispenser – 

are rinsed. A big plus for both 

hygiene and a full-bodied coffee 

taste. 

Fully electronic system 

Depending on the power level 

selected, it ensures flame sizes 

can be set precisely and reproducibly. 

The illuminated ring 

signals that the gas cooktop is 

switched on and so offers additional 

protection against the gas 

cooktop accidentally remaining 

switched on. 

Function display 300 series 

ovens 

All functions and the time are 

shown clearly on the display 

screen of the 300 series ovens. 

The digital clock can also be 

used as a short-term timer, 

irrespective of the function set 

for the appliance. The timer 

functions allow both the length 

of the cooking process and the 

time at which the oven is to be 

switched off to be programmed 

up to 24 hours in advance. 

G 

Gaggenau enamel 

Practically nothing sticks to this 

special blue enamel surface. 

A simple wipe with a wet sponge 

and a little washing-up liquid 

generally suffices for cleaning 

after using the oven. Thanks to 

their Gaggenau enamel surface, 

the grill pan and oven tray can 

also be cleaned easily in the 


Gastronorm 

The Gastronorm system provides 

the basis for cookware in 

the professional kitchen. It enables 

a smooth continuum from 

the preparation and cooking 

stages right through to serving 

at the table and storage. The 

Gastronorm elements from 

Gaggenau have been designed 

to match our cooktops, our 

steam and Combi-steam ovens, 

the pull-out system of our ovens, 

and the Vario cooling appliances 

of the 200 series. 

Gastronorm inserts: These 

high-walled, sturdy containers 

made from hygienic stainless 

steel are ideal for cooking in 

steam and for serving at the 

table or, in combination with the 

appropriate covers, for storage 

in the refrigerator. They are 

dishwasher-safe and easy to 

clean. For cooking several 

meals simultaneously, the cooking 

inserts for steam or Combisteam 

ovens in the GN ⅔ format 

can be combined as required 

with smaller inserts that are 

available as special accessories 

in the GN ⅓ format with volumes 

of approx. 1.5 litres. For practical 

food preparation, the inserts 

fit snugly into any Gastronorm 

sink. 

Gastronorm roaster: For searing 

and braising on induction 

cooktops and in Gaggenau 

ovens with the roasting function, 

insofar as they are equipped 

with the pull-out system. The top 

and bottom parts of the cast 

aluminium Gastronorm roaster 

in the GN ⅔ format can also 

be used independently of one 

another. The multi-layered material 

ensures even heat distribution 

and is easy to clean thanks 

to the non-stick coating. 

Gastronorm sink: For preparing 

food in the sink with Gastronorm 

inserts without any additional 

transferring of sensitive 

foodstuffs. The standardised 

inserts turn the sink into a flexible 

preparation area. 

Glass basket 


This special basket prevents 

cups and glasses from tilting 

over during washing and can 

accommodate up to twelve 

long-stemmed wine or champagne 

glasses, or 24 cups. 

Glass care Plus technology 

Prevents glass corrosion, even 

when washing fragile glassware. 

The constant temperature control 

and lower drying temperature 

protect glass and the de c- 

orative elements of crockery. 

Several components ensure 

this: the heat exchanger immediately 

balances out the temperature 

peaks that can damage 

glass. Furthermore, fresh water 

is added as required to ensure 

that the water’s hardness is 

constantly held above 5°DH 

during the wash cycle. This 

prevents glasses from losing 

their sheen due to the water 

being too soft. This is coupled 

with the Flex Plus basket system, 

which ensures that glasses 

drip-dry even more effectively 

by holding them in an optimal 

position, and Zeolite technology 

Gastronorm inserts. These 

high-walled, sturdy containers 

made from hygienic stainless 

steel are ideal both for baking 

and cooking in the Combi-steam 

oven and for preparation and 

keeping fresh in the refrigerators 

of the Vario cooling 200 series.

Humidor. Here you can store and mature expensive cigars 

at the right humidity and ambient temperature. 

for low temperature drying – 

a procedure that delivers firstclass 

drying results, even at 

low temperatures that are gentle 

on glass. 

Grease filter 

As with all Gaggenau ventilation 

hoods, the air containing grease 

and odour particles first passes 

through a grease filter, which 

removes up to 95 per cent of 

the grease from the air. This 

prevents any deposits forming 

on the inside of the hood or 

ventilation pipes. 

Rim extraction filter: The 

full-width mesh filter with its 

integrated cover ensures a quiet 

look as well as quiet operation. 

The grease separation of 90 to 

95 per cent is equivalent to that 

of a mesh filter. The noise level 

is, however, around three dB 

quieter, and the optimised rim 

design reduces condensation. 

The filter can be removed as 

a unit using the invisible pushto-unlock 

system with safety 

catch and can be cleaned in the 


Stainless steel grease filter: 

The filter can be easily removed 

for cleaning in the dishwasher. 

filters are not as effective and 

increase the noise level of the 

ventilation system. 

Grinding unit 

Freshly ground coffee beans 

are the essential starting point 

for tasty coffee or espresso. 

The grinding unit ensures a 

perfect grain size distribution 

and thus makes possible the 

perfect aroma. The grinding 

level can be individually set in 

four steps from fine to coarse. 

Thanks to its double-wall encapsulated 

bean container, it is 

extremely quiet in operation. 

H 

Halogen lighting 

For extra bright, clear light in 

the oven interior. Each phase 

during the baking, roasting or 

steaming procedure can be 

monitored with glare-free light. 

Hard-chromed cooking 

surface 

See Teppan Yaki. 

Ice and water dispenser. Glasses and large jugs can be filled up 

with ice cubes, crushed ice or cooled drinking water while the 

door is closed. 

Grease filter in front of hot 

air fan 

The fumes which occur during 

baking and frying are caught by 

a removable grease filter, which 

can be cleaned simply and easily 

in the dishwasher. For ovens 

with the pyrolytic system, no 

filter is necessary since dirt in 

the area around the hot air fan 

can be removed by pyrolysis. 

Grease filter saturation 

indicator 

A signal on the control panel 

reminds you that the grease filter 

needs to be cleaned. Soiled 

Heat exchanger 

During the dishwasher’s drying 

cycle, the hot steam condenses 

in the form of droplets on the 

sides of the heat exchanger – 

which is filled with cold water – 

and the water then runs off. The 

heat exchanger exploits the 

residual heat for drying purposes 

by siphoning off the water 

into a container on the side. 

Compared to conventional 

appliances, this procedure 

reduces energy consumption 

by 15 per cent and results in 

hygienic drying without any 

additional energy or an external 

air supply.

Heating element 

I 

Induction wok 

This is inserted into the socket 

inside the Gaggenau oven for 

focused heating of the baking 

stone or Gastronorm roaster. 

Hot air 

See Steaming. 

Humidity control 

For calibrated control of humidity 

in cooling appliances or 

wine climate cabinets. 

Refrigerators: A humidity 

fleece or a regulator ensures 

that the natural humidity is 

retained. This creates ideal 

storage conditions, particularly 

for fruit and vegetables, salad 

and fresh herbs. The appearance, 

taste, vitamins and nutrients 

are retained for much 

longer. 

Wine climate cabinets: The 

defrost function of state-of-theart 

refrigerators reduces humidity 

in the interior. By switching 

on the ventilator, humidity can 

be retained in the appliance so 

that drying out is avoided. 

Humidor 

Expensive cigars can be stored 

and matured here at the right 

humidity and ambient temperature. 

The hand-crafted body is 

made from finely-coordinated 

exquisite wood to match the 

interior of the wine climate cabinet 

and holds up to 50 cigars. 

The sophisticated humidity 

element in the interior, coupled 

with the storage of the humidor 

in the temperate red wine compartment, 

enable an optimum, 

constant climate to be maintained. 

Ice and water dispenser 

This dispenser for ice cubes, 

crushed ice and chilled water 

can be removed while the door 

is closed. Glasses, large jugs 

or sports bottles can be filled 

using the water dispenser. 

The integrated ice dispenser is 

located in the freezer compartment. 

These appliances require 

a fixed inlet water connection. 

Induction cooktops 

Induction is a method of heat 

transfer that makes optimum use 

of energy. Induction involves a 

precise and responsive power 

delivery via a magnetic field, 

and also speeds up cooking 

times – just like gas. Since the 

induction method means that 

only the bottom of the pot is 

heated, there is no loss of unused 

heat. Compared to glass 

ceramic cooktops, induction 

cooktops hardly heat up at all, 

so that spilled food and liquid 

hardly ever burn. Pots and pans 

of all shapes and sizes are suitable 

for use on a cooking zone – 

the system automatically detects 

the diameter of the pot’s 

base and only heats the appropriate 

area. Once the pot is 

removed, the zone doesn’t emit 

any more energy until the next 

pot is placed on it. The booster 

function provides more power – 

raising the energy delivered to 

a cooking zone by 50% for a 

brief period. Pots and pans 

which are suitable for induction 

cooking can be identified either 

by their labelling or by the fact 

that a magnet placed on the 

pan’s base sticks to the base. 

With the must-have wok ring and 

wok pan accessories, your induction 

cooktop is transformed into 

an induction wok. It is so powerful, 

it is considered to be the 

electric equivalent of the gas 

wok. The heat is concentrated in 

the middle of the wok and is 

ideal for stir-frying in the classic 

Asian style. 

Info-Light 

In fully integrated dishwashers, 

a red dot of light projected onto 

the ground indicates that a rinse 

programme is in operation. The 

tiny red light disappears when 

the programme ends. This helps 

to prevent the unintentional and 

premature opening of very quiet 

dishwashers. 

Infrared grill 

The grill temperature of a 

Combi-microwave oven or a 

microwave with infrared grill can 

be chosen individually for the 

meal you want to prepare; it’s 

also ideal for “au gratin” dishes 

and meals that require browning. 

The selected temperature 

or grill mode is visible on the 

display. 

Infrared remote control 

All of the functions of the ceiling 

ventilation system AC 402, from 

the desired power level to the 

lighting, can be conveniently 

controlled using the infrared 

remote control. 

Innowave 

This sophisticated feature, 

which is also known as inverter 

technology, offers microwave 

power settings with variable 

energy outputs. Compared to 

conventional appliances, it 

is a much more gentle way of 

Induction wok. Use the wok ring 

and wok pan special accessories 

to transform your induction 

cooktop into an induction wok 

zone.

Presenters in aluminium for displaying single bottles. This accessory 

is available as a set of three. 

preparing food as users can 

choose between high, medium 

and low power settings. This 

means fast and consistent 

results when both cooking and 

thawing. Since the heat penetrates 

gently, food which is 

overcooked at the top or on the 

edges will become a thing of 

the past – no more half-cooked 

food which is still frozen in 

the middle. In fact, your food 

will both look and taste better. 

Intensive mode 

Three power settings and an 

intensive mode can be activated 

via individual control buttons 

on the ventilation appliances. 

Depending on the particular 

model and setting, the intensive 

mode automatically reverts to 

the previously selected power 

setting after three, five or ten 

minutes of operation. 

Interior light 

A bright white light evenly illuminates 

the interior from above, 

meaning that users have a 

better view of the appliance’s 

contents. 

Interiors for wine climate 

cabinets 

Bottle trays in beech and 

aluminium: The untreated 

beech ensures that no aroma 

transfer can occur. The wood 

is rounded off to protect the 

sensitive labels. 

Presenters in aluminium 

for displaying single bottles: 

This accessory is available as 

a set of three. 

Shelves in aluminium: The 

perfect accessory for wine cabinets. 

Ideal for accommodating 

decanters, carafes, open bottles, 

as well as the humidor. 

Interval ventilation 

When interval ventilation is 

activated, the ventilation hood 

automatically switches to the 

preselected output level for five 

minutes each hour. This means 

that used or stale air can be 

reg ularly extracted from the 

room – also at night or during 

long absences. 

K 

Knobs 

Vario appliances of the 400 

series: Since knobs need to 

be both pressed and turned to 

activate the corresponding 

function, all appliances are protected 

against unintentional 

switching on. Before a knob can 

be turned, it must be pushed 

through a clearly perceptible 

stop position. Active cooking 

zones are indicated by an orange 

illuminated ring. On gas 

appliances which are not fully 

electronic, ring illumination is 

not possible – the knob can 

only be turned in one direction 

in this case. 

Vario appliances of the 200 

series: The gas appliances are 

protected against unintentional 

activation because their control 

knobs have to be both pressed 

and turned. The elegant solid 

metal knobs draw on the design 

of the 200 series ovens’ control 

knobs. 

L 

LCD function display with 

digital clock 

The main functions activated via 

the control knobs are always visible 

on the bright LCD display in 

ovens of the 200 series. The other 

touch key functions – with their 

188

convenient setting options – only 

become visible when needed. 

The digital clock can also be 

used as a short-term timer, irrespective 

of the function set for 

the appliance. The timer functions 

allow both the length of the 

cooking pro cess and the time 

at which the appliance is to be 

switched off to be programmed 

up to 24 hours in advance. 

Load sensor 

Ensures the optimal use of 

water, thereby reducing expenditure 

on water and electricity. 

The system works with a rotation 

sensor that measures the water 

level in the pump well. It drops 

as the load increases, because 

more water is required for wetting 

the dishes. This is detected 

by the load sensor, which then 

promptly triggers an appropriate 

water intake. This prevents the 

pump from running idle, thereby 

avoiding the noise peaks that 

would otherwise occur. 

Long-term timer 

This function can keep dishes 

warm in the oven at a selected 

temperature (such as 85°C) for 

any period between 24 and 74 

hours without the user having to 

operate the appliance. The 

interior lighting is switched off 

while this function is in operation. 

M 

Memory function 

All settings are stored for a 

few seconds after the cooktop 

is switched off. Consequently, 

if the appliance is switched 

off unintentionally, all previously 

entered values can be easily 

restored. 

Memory recipes 

This function, which is available 

in both ovens and Combi-steam 

ovens, allows you to save all 

settings for a prepared dish so 

that they can be easily retrieved 

at any time. Six dishes can be 

programmed, and up to five different 

steps or settings can 

be saved for each dish – at the 

press of a button after every 

successful cooking step. If the 

core temperature probe is 

used, the respective core temperatures 

are saved instead of 

the cooking times. This ensures 

the same delicious outcome 

every time, even if portion sizes 

vary. 

Microwave cooking 

As connoisseurs know, microwaves 

have become indispen s- 

able – for everything from 

heating up pre-prepared portions 

of food to making hot 

drinks in a glass, from bringing 

food from the refrigerator to 

serving temperature in no time 

at all to the quick thawing of 

frozen foods. The key element 

of any microwave is the magnetron. 

This creates magnetic 

waves, the energy of which is 

evenly spread out in the cooking 

compartment by means of a 

wave distributor. When the 

microwaves hit the item being 

cooked, they cause the water 

molecules within the food to 

oscillate at high speed. The 

oscillating molecules create 

friction, which in turn generates 

heat. In microwaves, the heat 

is therefore generated inside the 

items being cooked – and not 

from outside, as is the case in 

conventional ovens. 

Milk system 

Every desired coffee variation 

can be prepared at the touch of 

a button using the milk system. 

The milk system is integrated 

into the coffee dispenser and is 

used for hot milk and milk froth. 

The milk nozzle ensures perfect, 

fine-structured, creamy milk 

froth. Its height can be adjusted 

to accommodate glasses up to 

15 cm in height. The milk container 

is insulated and keeps the 

milk cool and fresh for hours. 

Both the milk nozzle and the 

milk container are dishwashersafe. 

Multiple glazing with 

safety glass 

The glazing in the oven door involves 

up to four adjacent panes 

of glass. The temperature of the 

outer pane remains low, even 

when the pyrolytic process is at 

its maximum temperature. 

N 

No-Frost technology 

If you own an appliance with 

No-Frost technology, you can 

say goodbye forever to the 

tedious task of emptying and

– a job which has to be 

done about every six months

Options for dishwashers 

Energy Save: This option uses 

Zeolite technology to reduce 

electricity consumption, thereby 

saving up to 15% of energy. 

Extra Dry: For improved drying 

performance, especially for 

plastic items such as Tupperware. 

This optimised drying 

efficiency is achieved with the 

combined help of Zeolite technology,

ture during the clear rinse and 

an extended drying cycle. 

Intensive: For washing heavily 

soiled pots and pans in the bottom 

basket while gently cleaning 

fragile glasses in the upper 

basket at the same time. By increasing 

the spraying pressure 

by 20%, as well as running additional 

wash cycles and heating 

phases, this option transforms 

the entire lower basket into 

an intensive zone. At the same 

time, the water pressure and 

tempe r ature in the upper basket 

are consistent with the selected 

programme. 

Power: The main programmes 

can be sped up considerably 

with this option whenever items 

– even those that are heavily 

soiled – are needed again in a 

hurry. When combined with 

Standard Eco, the best performance 

(washing and drying efficiency 

class A according to 

the Euro label) is produced in 

a mere 57 minutes with Vario 

dishwashers, and in 59 minutes 

with Power dishwashers. That’s 

equivalent to a time saving of 

up to 60%. Auto programmes 

run up to 30% faster. 

Options menu 

Specific functions, such as 

switching to a certain cooking 

zone, can be adjusted to suit 

individual cooking habits. The 

maximum power limit of the 

cooktop can also be set via the 

options menu, as can the child 

lock, which completely deactivates 

the control panel if required. 

P 

Personalisation function 

The personalisation function 

makes it possible to save up to 

six personal favourite beverages 

under a user-defined name. In 

addition to cup size, brewing 

temperature and coffee strength, 

the coffee-milk ratio can also 

be changed according to taste. 

The individual beverages can 

be selected quickly and conveniently 

with the LCD function 

display and prepared at the 

touch of a button. 

Pot detection 

In induction cooking, only the 

bottoms of pots and pans are 

heated. The system detects the 

diameter of the magnetic base 

of each individual pot and only 

that precise area is heated. This 

means that you are free to use 

pots and pans of all sizes without 

wasting any energy. Once 

the pot/pan is removed from the 

activated cooking zone, the 

zone won’t emit any more energy 

until the next pot/pan is placed 

on it. 

Presentation light 

In order to showcase their valuable 

contents in the best possible 

fashion, all the wine climate 

cabinets include a presentation 

light that can be optionally 

activated. The use of cold light 

prevents any temperature increase 

in the interior. 

Programmes 

for dishwashers 

Auto: Depending on the level of 

soiling, this programme – with 

the help of the Aqua sensor – 

automatically selects the correct 

temperature, length of the wash 

cycle and amount of water needed 

to deliver optimal results, 

while also ensuring the efficient 

consumption of water and energy. 

You can choose between 

different tem perature ranges: 

65°C to 75°C for heavily soiled 

pots and pans, 45°C to 65°C 

for normally soiled dishes, or a 

gentle 35°C to 45°C for glasses. 

Pre-rinse: This programme 

softens stubborn food stains 

before the actual wash cycle, 

thereby delivering the best 

possible washing results. 

Quick 45°C: This programme 

omits the prewash and has 

a shorter drying cycle. This 

means that lightly soiled items 

are practically dry and ready for 

use within a mere 30 minutes. 

Standard Eco: This wash 

programme operates at a temperature 

of 50°C to 55°C 

instead of 60°C to 65°C, so 

it consumes less water and 

energy compared to regular 

standard programmes. 

Pull-out system 

The pull-out system with pyro l- 

ysis-safe cast iron frame allows 

safe and easy access to the food 

inside the oven. Thanks to its 

fully extendable double telescopic 

pull-out rack, it makes 

light work of moving even heavy 

and cumbersome food out in 

front of the cooking compartment. 

It makes no difference if 

the food is on a baking tray, wire 

rack or glass tray, skewered on 

the rotisserie spit or braising in 

the Gastronorm roaster. The 

pull-out system can be installed 

on every oven level. Only the two 

easily detachable extension rails 

need to be clean ed. The remaining 

cast iron frame is easily 

cleaned by the oven’s pyrolytic 

system. 

Pyrolytic system 

The inevitable soiling of the 

oven’s interior caused by grease 

spatters when roasting or gril l- 

ing is removed by this cleaning 

programme, which operates 

at 485°C. The length of the 

programme is set by the manufacturer. 

Needless to say, 

the oven door is locked during 

cleaning. Once the oven has 

cooled down, all you need to do 

190

is to wipe the interior with a 

damp cloth. When the autopyrolytic 

system is in operation, 

the appliance automatically 

gauges the level of soiling in the 

oven’s interior. It then automatically 

selects the optimum 

cleaning time. 

Q 

Quick boil timer 

This is used for heating up or 

boiling quickly. The heat is increased 

to the maximum level. 

The duration can be individually 

set to last between one and 

20 minutes. If no specific duration 

is selected, the glass 

ceramic cooktop automatically 

switches back to the cooking 

setting after approx. three 

mi nutes. Induction cooktops 

switch back after approx. one 

minute. 

R 

Rackmatic 

Even when fully loaded, the 

height of the dishwasher’s upper 

basket can easily be adjusted 

by up to 5 cm. This means that 

larger items – such as tall 

glasses in the upper basket or 

plates in the lower one – can 

be easily and flexibly accommodated 

without having to rearrange 

everything. 

Regeneration 

See Steaming. 

Regeneration electronics 

Instead of automatically regenerating 

the water softening 

system after each wash, regeneration 

is only activated when 

the need arises. This is calculated 

by electronics that emit 

a signal when the next dose of 

salt solution has to be added 

to the water softening system. 

This means that the optimal 

amount of water and salt required 

to counteract the respective 

water hardness is 

used. This keeps costs down 

and is kind to the environment. 

Rim extraction filter 

See Grease filter. 

Roasting zone 

Two cooking zones of a glass 

ceramic cooktop can be 

switched on so that they are 

interconnected, thus enlarging 

them to the dimensions of a 

roasting tin. The Gaggenau cast 

roaster is custom-made so that 

it fits the 18 x 41.5 cm roasting 

zone perfectly. On induction 

cooktops, they are interconnected 

automatically if appropriately 

sized cookware is placed 

on the roasting zone. 

Rotisserie spit 

Uniform grilling from all sides – 

just the thing for poultry, a rolled 

roast or a leg of lamb. The rotisserie 

spit ensures that meat gets 

crispy and brown on all sides. 

For best results, select grilling 

or top heat as the operating 

mode. The spit is suitable for 

meat weighing up to 6 kg. 

Run-on function 

Just the thing for effective room 

ventilation. Once activated, the 

function ensures that the ventilation 

appliance runs on for up 

to ten minutes after use on any 

setting, before automatically 

switching itself off. 

S 

Safety glass shelves 

Glass is hygienic and ensures 

good visibility. The shelves can 

be adjusted in height to enable 

the cooling compartment to be 

segmented as required. Some 

appliances also have a motorised 

shelf. 

Safety lock 

The safety lock mechanism in 

Gaggenau ovens terminates 

any heating mode after 12 hours 

of inaction on the part of the 

user, assuming that the longterm 

timer has not been activated. 

Most cooktops and Vario 

appliances switch themselves 

off after a particular period of 

inaction on the part of the user. 

The trigger period depends on 

the selected output level. 

Sealing flaps 

The suction vent in the downdraft 

ventilation system in the 

Vario 400 series is sealed when 

the system is not in use. When 

the ventilation is switched off, 

the flaps remain open for a few 

seconds until the fan comes to 

a full stop. The flaps then close 

automatically. 

Sensor control 

All the settings of the cooking 

zones are easily adjusted with 

one touch. The levels of the 

individual cooking zones are 

graphically displayed on the 

glass ceramic surface and the 

operating status is indicated 

as well. And the cooktop is 

secure against being switched 

on accidentally by children or 

while cleaning. The inadvertent 

placing of objects on the control 

panel is also not enough 

to switch on the appliance. By 

Safety glass shelves. 

Glass is hygienic and 

ensures good visibility. 

191

Steamer. For the gentle steaming 

of meat, fish and vegetables. 

Two cooking inserts – one perforated 

and one unperforated – 

are part of the basic set. 

touching the main switch during 

operation, all the cooking zones 

are immediately switched off. 

If a cooking zone is switched on 

unintentionally, it will automatically 

switch itself back off after 

20 seconds if no further buttons 

are pressed. 

Settings menu 

Many settings for the oven, 

Combi-steam oven and Combimicrowave 

oven can be changed 

here, depending on the model. 

The time, display pro p erties 

such as brightness and key 

tones, and activation of the 

Super-Quick function, can all be 

set here. In the clearly arranged 

menu, which has one control 

level, options are displayed by 

icons and, on some models, 

using a clear text display. The 

desired setting can be selected 

conveniently at the press of a 

button. 

Side-opening oven door 

The door of the appliance is 

fitted with a thermally insulated 

pane of clear glass so that you 

can keep an eye on what is 

cooking. The handle on the side 

is protected against high temperatures. 

The door itself swivels 

open to a full 180 degrees, 

thereby facilitating easy access 

from the front. The direction in 

which you want the door to 

open must be specified when 

ordering the appliance, since 

the side on which the door 

hinge is positioned cannot be 

subsequently changed. 

Silvercare cartridge 


This aluminium cartridge protects 

silverware from corrosion 

and gives oxidised silver back its 

sheen thanks to ion exchange. 

Simmering setting 

The simmering setting of the 

fully electronic gas cooktops of 

the Vario cooktops 400 series 

makes it possible to simmer 

food on the lowest setting. The 

low heat input is achieved by 

automatically extinguishing the 

cooktop flame every 30 seconds 

and reigniting it after a further 

30 seconds. 

Single portion cleaning 

The water pipes are rinsed 

each time coffee is prepared, 

and not just when the machine 

is turned on or off. This means 

no residual water, 100% hygiene 

and a full coffee flavour. 

Soft-Light 

The uniform cooktop illumination, 

which comes with ventilation 

appliances, automatically 

goes on and off gradually, and 

it can be dimmed manually from 

maximum illumination while 

cooking to atmospheric background 

lighting. 

Spit 

See Rotisserie spit. 

Stainless steel cooking 

interior 

The seamless stainless steel 

cooking interior of the Combisteam 

or steam oven meets 

the highest hygiene standards. 

The 60 watt halogen lighting 

provides a splendid light setting 

for whatever you are cooking. 

Stainless steel grease filter 

See Grease filter. 

Stainless steel interior 

The warming drawer has a 

hygienic stainless steel surface 

for both preheating dinnerware 

and keeping meals warm. All the 

Vario cooling appliances of the 

400 series are similarly lined 

with stainless steel on the inside. 

When combined with oxygen, 

stainless steel also reduces the 

formation of odours. 

Star rating 

The freezing capacity of freezer 

compartments is indicated 

using a star rating system: 

· one-star compartment: –6°C 

· two-star compartment: –12°C 

· three-star deep-freeze compartment: 

–18°C 

· four-star deep-freeze compartment: 

–18°C with a specified 

minimum freezing capacity. 

Steamer 

Unlike the steam oven or Combisteam 

oven, the steamer can 

also be used for reducing stock 

or wine. Not just water. 

Boiling point detection: The 

appliance automatically recognises 

the boiling point, which is 

dependent on the altitude above 

sea level. 

Cooking inserts: The basic 

set comprises one perforated 

and one unperforated cooking 

insert. In this way, two meals 

with different cooking times can 

be staggered so that they are 

ready at the same time. 

Electronic steam control: 

This ensures that only as much 

steam is produced as is required 

for the cooking process. 

Electronic temperature 

control: Temperature control 

in increments of 5°C enables 

cooking at a precisely set temperature 

between 45°C and 

95°C, or steaming at 100°C. 

192

Delicate dishes such as fish are 

kept at a constant temperature 

below boiling point to prevent 

them from disintegrating. Likewise, 

meals can be defrosted, 

heated up gently or kept warm 

for a long period without any 

loss of taste. 

Glass cover: Enables the 

cooking progress to be monitored 

at all times. As Gaggenau 

steam ers do not use pressure, 

the glass cover can also 

be removed during steaming. 

Pasta basket: Cooks pasta 

to perfection. To strain, simply 

drain the water. 

Steaming 

Almost everything which is 

normally boiled in water can be 

cooked much more healthily 

in steam, ensuring that vitamins 

and minerals are preserved. 

Whatever you are cooking, it 

will taste more natural, have a 

more intense taste and consistency, 

and colour will be bet ter 

preserved. Several Gastronorm 

inserts containing different 

foods to be steamed can be 

inserted simultaneously into the 

Combi-steam or steam ovens. 

The steam prevents taste being 

transferred between the individual 

meals. By combining steam 

with hot air, as in the Gaggenau 

Combi-steam oven, the full 

range of cooking options are 

available: 

Combi-steaming: Combining 

steam with hot air between 

30°C and 230°C ensures many 

types of meat come out par - 

ticularly succulent and tender. 

In this operating mode, the interior 

of the oven is hermetically 

sealed and humidity prevents 

the meat from becoming too dry. 

A roast will cook in its own 

juices at a very low humidity level. 

Dough fermentation: The 

correct conditions for getting 

dough to ferment are a low 

temperature of no more than 

50°C with humid air. 

Hot air: This corresponds to 

the hot air in a conventional 

oven. The interior of the oven is 

ventilated by an opening which 

allows any humidity to escape. 

This is particularly important, 

for instance, with cakes and 

fresh fruit, which need to give 

off humidity during baking to 

prevent the pastry becoming 

too soft. 

Juice extraction: Juice from 

berries and other fruits can be 

conveniently extracted using a 

perforated cooking insert. The 

juice is caught in a non-perforated 

insert positioned below it. 

Low temperature cooking: 

This is a professional method 

for cooking meat to perfection. 

It is initially browned, before 

being cooked slowly and gently 

over a long cooking time. A 

large piece of roast beef, for 

example, is better cooked this 

way than with any other cooking 

method – tender and pink 

throughout, apart from a millimetre-thin 

edge, and unbeatably 

succulent. And after it is 

cooked, the meat can also be 

kept warm for a long time, so it 

remains perfect. 

Low temperature steaming: 

Steaming with 100% steamsaturated 

air at low temperatures 

guarantees optimum heat 

transfer without drying out and 

is therefore ideal for cooking 

fish. Protein is prevented from 

either congealing or escaping. 

As a result, fish is always ten der 

and succulent with a natural protein 

taste and its consistency 

is retained. 

Misting: At the press of a button, 

a measured quantity of steam 

is injected into bread or confectionery. 

This is particularly useful 

when baking bread, rolls and 

pastries, or when baking bread 

which has been frozen. 

Regeneration: Steaming without 

pressure is also the perfect 

way to regenerate meals which 

have been prepared beforehand 

without impairing the quality. 

It beats all other reheating methods 

hands down. 

Steam-baking: Steam and hot 

air at higher temperatures can 

also be used for baking and 

braising. The humidity prevents 

meat from drying out, particularly 

with poultry, bread or pastries, 

and browns the surface to 

make it crispy. The hot steam 

transfers the heat twice as 

effectively as hot air and also 

reaches the interior of whatever 

you are cooking, so your meals 

taste more professional than 

ever. 

Steam removal: At the press 

of a button, the inside wall of 

the appliance is cooled down 

with cold water and the steam 

vapour condenses within around 

20 seconds. This reduces the 

emission of steam when the door 

is opened. 

Thawing: Steam and low temperatures 

are ideal for the gentle 

thawing of deep-frozen food. 

Stepped shelf 

The stepped shelf enables the 

practical integration of the most 

widely used Gastronorm inserts 

in the cooling appliance. The 

form of the shelf itself makes it 

possible to store items of different 


Storage time after a 

malfunction

Twist-Pad control. A manoeuvrable magnetic knob makes control 

particularly easy. The knob is removed to facilitate cleaning the 

smooth-surface cooktop. 

Super-Quick cooking zones 

Once switched on, the desired 

heat is quickly attained and just 

as swiftly reduced. Super-Quick 

ensures an even heat release 

and is easy to regulate. What’s 

more, a red light which increases 

in size allows you to monitor 

the heating progress. 

T 

Temperature regulation

control. 

Teppan Yaki 

For roasting and cooking Japanese 

style, directly on the smooth 

metal surface – a more precise 

cooking procedure than with a 

pan or grill. With an adjustable 

surface temperature control – 

either across the whole surface 

or, as is the case with the 

Vario 400, just half of it. 

Cleaning setting: The water 

for cleaning the Teppan Yaki 

VP 230 can be heated up to the 

desired temperature of about 

40°C directly on the appliance 

itself. 

Hard-chromed cooking 

surface (Vario cooktops 400 

series): Just like a good cast 

pan, it will show signs of use, but 

the surface will always remain 

easy to clean and does not wear. 

Stainless steel sandwich 

cooking surface (Vario cooktops 

200 series): For the maximum 

cooking area with even 

heat distribution in the compact 

dimensions of the 200 series. 

When used, this surface will 

also take on an individual look 

but this will in no way impact 

on its operation. 

Warming stage: Regulated 

setting, keeps meals warm with 

greater precision than in a pot. 

Thermoelectric flame 

monitoring 

Automatic ignition of the flame 

on operating the knob. The knob 

must be held for a short time, 

until the thermo-element has 

reached the required temperature 

for a stable flame. Should 

the gas flame go out unintentionally, 

the gas supply to all burners 

is automatically interrupted. 

Time delay 

The electronic timer allows you 

to specify when the wash 

programme is to begin – up to 

24 hours in advance. 

Twist-Pad control 

The manoeuvrable magnetic 

knob on the Twist-Pad makes 

cooktop control particularly 

easy. To activate a particular 

cooking zone, briefly move the 

knob towards the zone in question 

and then turn it to select 

the desired power setting. LED 

displays in the cooktop show 

the selected setting. The magnet 

always returns the knob to its 

idle position in the middle of 

the Twist-Pad. The knob can 

be removed to facilitate cleaning 

the smooth-surface cooktop. 

The main switch – along with 

additional functions such as the 

timer, frying sensor or booster – 

are activated using sensor 

buttons. 

U 

Universal pan 

This pan for collecting meat 

juices completes the microwave 

set. It is also suitable for 

194

cooking or defrosting. It includes 

an accessory attachment 

for grilling. 

UV protection 

In order to prevent daylight from 

altering the bouquet of wine, 

the glass doors of the wine 

climate cabinets also include 

UV protection. 

V 

Vacation mode for 

refrigerators and freezers 

An energy-saving programme 

can be activated in order to 

keep your foodstuffs cooled or 

frozen while you are away for 

longer periods. 

W 

Water filter 

The water filter offers freshly 

filtered and optimally prepared 

water at all times. It reduces the 

hardness of the mains water 

and thus protects the entire 

system from deposits. A display 

provides a reminder of when a 

filter change is due. The change 

itself is easy to carry out. 

Combi-steam ovens: If a 

descaling system is integrated 

into the water inlet then the filter 

must be changed at specific 

intervals. The appliance electronics 

calculate the capacity 

according to the water hardness 

entered. 

Fully automatic espresso 

machines: The water filter 

ensures that the coffee aroma 

can optimally unfold. In addition, 

it also guarantees a long 

service life, even brewing temperature 

and constant pump 

pressure during the brewing 

process. 

Cooling appliances: A water 

filter for the integrated water 

filter system with saturation 

indicator can also be retrofitted 

as a special accessory to the 

cooling appliances with ice 

makers. 

Water level warning 

An acoustic signal is emitted 

when the water tank in the steam 

oven is empty. The display will 

show a tap symbol. The heating 

process is then interrupted. The 

water tank has to be filled and 

reinserted in order to continue 

cooking. 

Water tank 

With a capacity of 1.3 litres, 

the water tank in Combi-steam 

and steam ovens ensures a 

sufficient supply of water in the 

absence of a fixed inlet and 

outlet water connection. Since 

the steam is generated in the 

cooking compartment, the water 

tank is protected against calcification 

to the greatest possible 

degree. The tank is easy to 

handle and transparent, meaning 

that the water level can be 

checked at a glance. Due to 

hygiene considerations, the tank 

has to be emptied after every 

cooking session. It should not 

be cleaned in the dishwasher. 

Wine and champagne rack 

For the practical and convenient 

storage of champagne, wine 

and other bottles in a horizontal 

position. When not in use, the 

rack can easily be folded away 

to save space. 

Wok burner 

With three flame rings which 

are arranged in a circle, and a 

power spectrum between 300 

and 5000 W which can be precisely 

regulated (150 to 6000 W 

for the fully electronic gas cooktops). 

Ideal for quick braising in 

a large wok, or for big pots and 

pans. 

Z 

Zeolite technology 

Thanks to this state-of-the-art 

technology, the Vario dishwasher 

supports a huge range of options. 

Zeolite is a silicate material 

which, thanks to its porous 

structure and special properties, 

absorbs moisture very quickly. 

This releases heat which can 

be used for several purposes – 

such as shortening programme 

times, enhancing drying performance 

or conserving energy. 

Zeolite completely regenerates 

itself after each wash cycle and 

has a service life as long as that 

of the appliance.
