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.

machine’s grinding unit. It is made of high-quality
ceramic material and is extremely long-lived.

12
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.

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
Combi-steam oven BS 250.
The use of pressureless steam is one of the most effective

more details.
31
Combi-steam oven BS 274.
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.
• Frontage: Stainless steel-backed full glass door (also available
with aluminium backing or anthracite front).
• Dimensions: 60 cm wide; net volume of 44 litres (also available
in a width of 76 cm).

oven; smaller inserts (GN 1 ⁄ 3) are available as special
accessories. See pages 168/169 for more details.
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.
35
Oven BO 271.
The BO 271 has the widest range of features of the
60 cm-wide ovens in the 200 series.
• Frontage: Aluminium-backed full glass door (also available
with a stainless steel backing or anthracite front).
• 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.
• Core temperature probe: Switches off the oven automatically
when a roast or fish has reached the desired temperature.

⁄ 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

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
your favourites – just as you’d expect from
your own personal barista.
52
Fully automatic espresso machine CM 250.
The CM 250 prepares every variation of espresso and
milk-mix drinks, as well as the classic cup of coffee,
warm milk and hot water for other beverages including
tea. The frontage design combines perfectly with the
appliances in the 200 oven series.
• Frontage: Stainless steel-backed glass frontage (also available
with aluminium backing or anthracite front).
• Dimensions: 60 cm wide; 45 cm high.
• Operation: The desired drink at the push of a button. Thanks
to the integrated milk system the cup need not be moved.

prepare six individual beverages according to one’s personal
taste and save them to memory.
• Lighting concept: Up to seven different lighting scenarios.
• Grinding unit: The grinding unit with high-quality ceramic
discs is extremely long-lived. It grinds fresh coffee beans into
superfine powder almost silently.
• Heating system: A continuous flow heater ensures that the
appliance requires no warm-up phase. When needed, the water
reaches the optimal brewing temperature within seconds.
• Aroma brewing technology: Presses the coffee powder together
and whirls it during the brewing process so that all the
aromas can develop freely.
• Single portion cleaning: All water pipes are cleared of any
residual water after every cup.
• 2.5-litre water tank: Removable and transparent, with a water
filter.

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

Flush-fitted gas cooktop CG 492.
Combining elegance and pragmatism with high performance

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.
• 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.

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

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.
• Four modes: Three output modes and an intensive mode,
which automatically reverts to the previously selected mode
after a few minutes. Can be operated from both sides.
• Stainless steel grease filter: Easy to remove and dishwashersafe.
• Air extraction or recirculation: Both are possible.
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.

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

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.

131
132
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.
133

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.

is illustrated.
143
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.

Stepped shelf.
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.

Dishwashing.
Gaggenau’s dishwashers do the washing-up in the
best possible manner – efficiently, quietly, economically.
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.
159
160

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
167
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.

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

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.

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.

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-

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.
Solid cast roaster. Practical
accessory for grilling and
cooking on a smooth surface.

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
dishwasher.
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
(special accessory)
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.

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
dishwasher.
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.

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.

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

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
defrosting the freezer compartment
– a job which has to be
done about every six months
with conventional appliances.
What’s more, there is no more

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.

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
(special accessory)
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
heights.
Storage time after a
malfunction
It indicates the time needed for
the temperature in a fully loaded
freezer compartment to rise
to –9°C in the event of a malfunction.
Shorter times apply
when the freezer compartment
is not full.

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
See Electronic temperature
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.
Water tank. With a capacity of
1.3 litres, a sufficient supply of
water is assured in Combi-steam
ovens and steam ovens in the
absence of a fixed connection.
