Fire Safety

WARNING

NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages in the oven
bottom or cover an entire rack with materials such as
aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow through the
oven. Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat,
causing a fire hazard.

If materials inside an oven or warming drawer should
ignite, keep door closed. Turn off the appliance and
disconnect the circuit at the circuit breaker box.

WARNING

Use this appliance only for its intended use as
described in this manual. NEVER use this appliance
as a space heater to heat or warm the room. Doing so
may result in overheating the appliance. Never use the
appliance for storage.

Always have a working smoke detector near the
kitchen.

WARNING

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN
THE EVENT OF A GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE
FOLLOWING:
a) SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-fitting lid,

cookie sheet, or metal tray, then turn off the
burner. BE CAREFUL TO PREVENT BURNS. If
the flames do not go out immediately, EVACUATE
AND CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

b) NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN – You may be

burned.

c) DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths

or towels – a violent steam explosion will result.

d) Use an extinguisher ONLY if:

‒ You know you have a Class ABC extinguisher,

and you already know how to operate it.

‒ The fire is small and contained in the area

where it started.

‒ The fire department is being called.
‒ You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.

In the event that personal clothing or hair catches fire,
drop and roll immediately to extinguish flames.

Have an appropriate fire extinguisher available,
nearby, highly visible and easily accessible near the
appliance.

Smother flames from food fires other than grease fires
with baking soda. Never use water on cooking fires.

9 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Burn Prevention

DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR
INTERIOR SURFACES OF OVEN - Heating elements
may be hot even though they are dark in color. Interior
surfaces of an oven become hot enough to cause
burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let
clothing, potholders, or other flammable materials
contact heating elements or interior surfaces of oven
until they have had sufficient time to cool. Other
surfaces of the appliance may become hot enough to
cause burns. Among these surfaces are oven vent
openings, surfaces near these openings and oven
doors.

Exercise caution when opening the appliance.
Standing to the side, open the door (or drawer) slowly
and slightly to let hot air and/or steam escape. Keep
your face clear of the opening and make sure there
are no children or pets near the unit. After the release
of hot air and/or steam, proceed with your cooking.
Keep doors shut unless necessary for cooking or
cleaning purposes. Do not leave open doors
unattended.

Do not heat or warm unopened food containers. Build­up of pressure may cause the container to burst and
cause injury.

Child Safety

When children become old enough to use the
appliance, it is the legal responsibility of the parents
or legal guardians to ensure that they are instructed in
safe practices by qualified persons.

Do not allow anyone to climb, stand, lean, sit, or hang
on any part of an appliance, especially a door,
warming drawer, or storage drawer. This can damage
the appliance, and the unit may tip over, potentially
causing severe injury.

Do not allow children to use this appliance unless
closely supervised by an adult. Children and pets
should not be left alone or unattended in the area
where the appliance is in use. They should never be
allowed to play in its vicinity, whether or not the
appliance is in use.

CAUTION

Items of interest to children should not be stored in an
appliance, in cabinets above an appliance or on the
backsplash. Children climbing on an appliance to
reach items could be seriously injured.

Use caution when cooking foods with high alcohol
content (e.g. rum, brandy, bourbon) in the oven.
Alcohol evaporates at high temperatures. There is a
risk of burning as the alcohol vapors may catch fire in
the oven. Use only small quantities of alcohol in foods,
and open the oven door carefully.

Always place oven racks in desired location while
oven is cool. Always use oven mitts, when the oven is
warm. If a rack must be moved while oven is hot, do
not let potholder contact the heating elements.

CAUTION

To avoid possible injury or damage to the appliance,
ensure rack is installed exactly per installation
instructions and not backwards or upside down.

Always use dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders
on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do
not let potholder touch hot heating elements. Do not
use a towel or other bulky cloth.

Secure all loose garments, etc. before beginning. Tie
long hair so that it does not hang loose, and do not
wear loose fitting clothing or hanging garments, such
as ties, scarves, jewelry, or dangling sleeves.

9 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Cleaning Safety

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE: The California Safe
Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires
the Governor of California to publish a list of
substances known to the state to cause cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm, and requires
businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to
such substances. The burning of gas cooking fuel and
the elimination of soil during self-cleaning can
generate some by-products which are on the list. To
minimize exposure to these substances, always
operate this unit according to the instructions
contained in this booklet and provide good ventilation.

When self-cleaning, confirm that the door locks and
will not open. If the door does not lock, do not run
Self-Clean. Contact service.

Wipe out excessive spillage before self-cleaning the
oven.

Birds have very sensitive respiratory systems. Keep
pet birds out of the kitchen or other rooms where
kitchen fumes could reach them. During self-clean,
fumes are released that may be harmful to birds.
Other kitchen fumes such as overheating margarines
and cooking oils may also be harmful.

State of California Proposition 65 Warnings

WARNING

This product contains chemicals known to the State of
California to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm.

Keep oven free from grease build up.

Cookware Safety

NOTICE: Do not place food directly on oven bottom.

Follow the manufacturer’s directions when using
cooking or roasting bags.

Do not clean parts or accessories in the self-clean
oven.

WARNING

Risk of electric shock

Use of a wrong core temperature probe can damage
the insulation. Use only the core temperature probe
intended for this appliance.

Causes of damage

Protecting the environment

NOTICES:

▯ Accessories, foil, baking paper or cookware on

the bottom of the oven interior: do not place any
accessories on the bottom of the oven interior. Do
not line the bottom of the oven interior with any
type of foil whatever or baking paper. Do not
place cookware on the bottom of the oven interior
when a temperature above 122°F (50 °C) is set.
This produces a build-up of heat. Baking and
roasting times are no longer correct and the
enamel is damaged.

▯ Water in the hot oven interior: Never pour water

into the hot oven interior. Steam is produced.
Damage to the enamel can arise due to the
temperature change.

▯ Do not leave moist groceries in a closed oven for

an extended period of time. It can lead to
corrosion inside the oven.

▯ Fruit juice can leave stains in the oven. Always

remove fruit juice immediately and wipe up first
with a damp and then a dry cloth.

▯ Cooling with the appliance door open: only allow

the oven cavity to cool when it is closed. Even if
the appliance door is only open a little, front
panels of adjacent units could be damaged over
time.

▯ Highly soiled door seal: the appliance door will no

longer close properly during operation if the door
seal is highly soiled. Adjoining furniture fronts
may be damaged. Always keep the door seal
clean.

▯ Appliance door as a seat or storage surface: do

not stand, sit or hang on the appliance door. Do
not place any cookware or accessories on the
appliance door.

▯ Inserting accessories: depending on the

appliance type, accessories can scratch the door
pane when closing the appliance door. Always
slide accessories fully into the oven interior.

▯ Do not hold or carry the appliance by the door

handle. The door handle cannot carry the weight
of the device and could break off.

Unpack the appliance and dispose of the packaging in
line with environmental requirements.

Tips for saving energy

▯ Open the appliance door as little as possible

while cooking, baking or roasting.

▯ Use dark, black-painted or enameled baking

forms. These absorb the heat particularly well.

▯ It is best to bake several cakes in succession. The

oven is still warm. This shortens the baking time
for the second cake. You can also slide in two loaf
tins next to each other.

▯ In the hot air mode, you can bake simultaneously

on several levels.

▯ For longer cooking times, you can switch off the

oven 10 minutes before the end of the cooking
time and you can use the residual heat to finish
cooking.

Core temperature probe

The core temperature probe allows you to cook exactly
to the precise level you require. It measures the
temperature at the inside of the food. The automatic
switch-off when the desired core temperature is
reached ensures that all food is cooked precisely.

Note: The core temperature probe can only be used in the lower oven.

Only use the core temperature probe supplied with
the cooker. You can purchase it as a spare part from
the after-sales service or in the online shop.

The core temperature probe may be damaged at
temperatures above 480°F (250°C). Therefore, only
use it in your appliance with a maximum temperature
setting of 445°F (230°C).

After use, always remove the core temperature probe
from the cooking compartment. Never store it inside
the cooking compartment.

In the case of poultry, make sure that the tip of the
core temperature probe is not in the cavity in the
center, but in the meat between the belly and upper
leg.

After each use, clean the core temperature probe with
a damp cloth. Do not clean it in the dishwasher.

9 WARNING

Risk of electric shock

Use of a wrong core temperature probe can
damage the insulation. Use only the core
temperature probe intended for this appliance.

9 WARNING

Risk of burns

The oven interior and the core temperature
probe become very hot. Use oven mitts to plug
and unplug the core temperature probe.

Insert the core temperature probe in the food to be cooked

Insert the core temperature probe in the food to be
cooked before you place it in the oven interior.

Insert the metal tip at the thickest point in the food
you are cooking. Make sure that the end of the tip is
approximately in the center. It must not be placed in
the fat and must not touch any cookware or bones.

Setting the core temperature

1 Insert the food to cook in the cooking

compartment with a core temperature probe
inserted. Insert the core temperature probe into
the socket in the top right of the cooking

99°C). Outside the measurable range, "--°F" is
displayed for the current core temperature.

‒ If you leave the food in the cooking compartment

for some time after cooking, the core temperature
will continue to rise somewhat due to the residual
heat in the cooking compartment.

‒ If at the same time you adjust a programming with

the core temperature probe and the cooking time
timer, then the programming switches the device
off that reaches the specified value first.

Changing the core temperature set:

Touch the + symbol. Use the rotary selector to
change the set core temperature for the food and
confirm with +.

Deleting the core temperature set:

Touch the + symbol. Delete the set core
temperature with Ž. The appliance continues heating
in normal cooking mode.

Core temperature guidelines

Use chilled food only, not frozen food. The details
given in the table are guidelines. Results depend on
the quality and composition of the food.

For hygiene reasons, critical foodstuffs such as fish
and game should reach a core temperature of 143 ­158° F (62 – 70 °C); for poultry and minced meat this
should be as high as 176 - 185° F (80 – 85 °C).

Microfiber cloth

The honeycomb-structure microfiber cloth is
particularly suitable for cleaning sensitive surfaces
such as glass, glass ceramics, stainless steel or
aluminum (order No. 460770 available from after-sales
service or in the online shop). It removes watery and
greasy soiling in one go.

Removing the plug-in grid

The plug-in grid can be removed for cleaning.

Self-clean (pyrolysis)

During self-clean (pyrolysis), the oven heats up to
905°F (485°C). Thus, remainders from roasting,
grilling or baking are burnt up and all you have to do is
wipe the ash out of the interior.

Self-clean (pyrolysis) takes three hours. You can move
the self-clean switch-off time (for example, if you
would like it to run at night).

Removing the plug-in grid

1 Put a dish towel in the cooking compartment to

protect the enamel.

2 Loosen the knurled screws (Figure A).

3 Remove the plug-in grid (Figure B).

$

You can clean the plug-in grid in the dishwasher.

Hooking in the plug-in grid

1 Attach the plug-in grid all around: longer side

toward the bottom. The right and left grids are
identical.

2 Tighten the knurled screws.

9 WARNING

During the elimination of soil during self­cleaning, small amounts of Carbon Monoxide
can be created and the fiberglass insulation
could give off very small amounts of
formaldehyde during the first several cleaning
cycles. To minimize exposure to these
substances, provide good ventilation with an
open window, or use a ventilation fan or hood.

Wipe out excessive spillage before self-cleaning the
oven.

9 WARNING

Risk of fire

The appliance becomes very hot during
pyrolytic self-cleaning. Never hang flammable
items such as dishcloths on the door handle.
Keep the front of the appliance clear. Keep
children away.

9 WARNING

Severe health risk

The appliance becomes very hot during
pyrolytic self-cleaning. The non-stick coatings
on trays and forms are destroyed and toxic
gases are produced. Never leave trays and
forms with non-stick coatings in the oven during
pyrolytic self-cleaning. Only leave enameled
accessories in oven during self-clean cycle.

32

Do not clean parts or accessories in the self-clean
oven.

Preparing self-clean (pyrolysis)

9 CAUTION

Fire risk! Loose food remainders, fat and roast
juice can catch fire. Wipe out the oven interior
with a moist cloth.

▯ Remove coarse soiling and food remainders from

the oven.

▯ Clean the door seals manually, the inside of the

door and the glass pane because the self-clean
(pyrolysis) does not clean these parts.

▯ Remove all loose interior parts from the oven

Cleaning accessories with self-clean (pyrolysis)

Gaggenau baking trays and grill trays are coated with
pyrolysis-proof enamel. To arrive at an optimum
cleaning result, you are nevertheless advised to
remove all accessories from the oven before the self­clean (pyrolysis). Only this will ensure optimum heat
distribution.

If you would like to remove burnt-in residues from your
baking tray or your grill tray with self-clean (pyrolysis),
it is imperative that you observe the following notes:

Notes

‒ Remove extreme soiling, roast juice and food

remainders before self-clean (pyrolysis). Food
remainders, grease or roast juice can catch fire
during self-clean (pyrolysis).

‒ Only insert one baking tray or one grill tray in the

lowest shelf in the oven.

‒ Insert the baking tray or the grill tray fully.

‒ Do not clean the wire rack, rotisserie spit, cast

roaster, baking stone, core temperature probe or
other accessories with self-clean (pyrolysis).

Tables and tips

Notes

‒ The specified values are for your orientation. The

temperature and duration depend on the quality
and condition of foods.

‒ Always preheat the oven. This ensures you

achieve the best cooking results.
The specified cooking times apply to a preheated
appliance.

Baking table

▯ We advise you to use dark, metal bake pans

because they absorb heat better.

▯ To find out when your cake is ready, pierce it at

the highest point with the small wooden stick at
the end of the baking time. The cake is finished if
dough no longer sticks to the stick.

▯ Baked items using yeast come out best when

using the convection mode.

‒ Pay attention to only opening the door of the

preheated oven briefly and to filling the appliance
swiftly.

‒ Temperature ranges are specified in the tables.

We recommend that you begin for the first time
with the lowest temperature. If required, set it
higher the next time. A lower temperature
produces more even browning.

‒ The recommended mode is printed in bold.

▯ Raising dough (proofing):

‒ Set the dough proofing mode. The basic

temperature setting is 100° F (38°C).

‒ Set 100 - 104° F (38-40°C) for large volumes

(e.g. bread). This will ensure that the dough
rises evenly from the center to the edge.

‒ You can enter 104 - 113° F (40-45°C) for small

items (such as Schneckennudeln (Swabian
twirls) or bread rolls).

Baking tips and tricks

What to do if... The solution

... your cake baked on a tray is too light at the bottom? Insert the cake one level lower and take accessories that you

don't need out of the oven.

... your cake baked in a tin is too light at the bottom? Do not insert the cake pan in the oven on the tray, but on the

rack.

... your cake/cookies are too dark at the bottom? Insert the cake/cookies at a higher level.

... your cake is too dry? Set the oven temperature slightly higher. Preheat the oven.

... your cake is doughy inside or meat is not done inside? Set a slightly lower baking or roasting temperature. Note: you

cannot shorten baking or roasting times by increasing tempera­tures. It is better to choose a slightly longer baking or roasting
time if cake dough is to rise longer.

... your tin-baked or loaf cake is too dark at the back when
using hot air?

... the cake collapses? Next time, use less liquid or set the oven temperature lower by

What to do if... The solution

... your bread or cake looks good (done) from the outside,
but is doughy or too moist on the inside?

... you have baked on several levels and the result on the top
tray is darker than on the lower one?

... cookies do not come off the tray? Briefly place the tray in the oven again and immediately remove

... your cake does not come off when you turn it out? Carefully loosen the edge with a knife. Turn out the cake again

Next time, use a little less liquid and bake a little longer at a
lower temperature. In the case of cakes with a moist topping,
pre-bake the base first, scatter almonds or breadcrumbs over it
and then add the topping. Pay attention to recipes and baking
times.

Choose a slightly lower temperature and the result will be
evenly brown. Trays you have inserted at the same time need
not be finished at the same time. Leave the bottom trays to bake
a little longer for 5 - 10 minutes or insert them earlier.

and cover the tin several times with a wet, cold cloth. Next time,
grease the tin well and additionally scatter breadcrumbs into it.

Roasting table

▯ You can basically use any heat-resistant

cookware. Place cookware in the middle of the
rack. For large roasts, you can also use the grill
tray.

▯ You can remove the side slide-in racks to prepare

bulky food. Place the wire rack directly on the
bottom of the oven and then place the food or the
roaster on the wire rack. Do not place the food or
the roaster directly on the enameled bottom.

▯ When removing it, place glass cookware on a dry

dishcloth or rack and not on a cold or wet
surface. The glass could crack.

▯ Once the roast is finished, you should leave it for

another 10 minutes in the switched off, closed
oven. This way, meat stays juicier.

▯ Poultry becomes particularly crispy brown if you

coat it with butter, salty water, dripped off fat or
orange juice towards the end of the cooking time.

▯ In the case of duck or goose, pierce the skin

under the wings to allow the fat to drip off.

▯ Use the insert rack (depending on the version, an

tray, the meat juice will be collected and the oven
will stay cleaner.

Roasting tips and tricks

What to do if... The solution

... the roast has gone dark and the crust is burnt in places? Check the insertion level and the set roasting temperature.

... the roast looks good, but the sauce has baked on? Choose smaller roasting cookware the next time and add more

liquid.

... the roast looks good, but the sauce is too light and
watery?

... the table does not contain any data for the weight of the
roast?

Choose larger roasting cookware the next time and use less liq­uid.

Choose the data according to the next lowest weight and
extend the time.

Grilling table

9 CAUTION

Only grill with the oven door closed.

▯ For roasting use the wire rack that fits the grilling

tray (accessory or special accessory, depending
on the version). Pour a small amount of water into
the grilling tray to collect dripping fat and keep
the oven clean.

▯ The pieces of meat should be evenly thick (at

least 1 - 2 in (2 - 3 cm). Thus they will brown
evenly and remain juicy inside. Do not salt steaks
before grilling. Place the food directly on the wire
rack.

Thawing

Acrylamide in foodstuffs

▯ Set the defrosting mode.

▯ Put the grill rack with the frozen food on the

second level (with 5 levels on the third level), then
insert the grill pan to catch the defrosting liquids.

▯ Defrost large pieces of meat (roasts, chickens,

etc.) at 115 - 120° F (45 - 50°C) so that the outer
part does not get cooked. Small or flat pieces can
be defrosted at 120 - 130° F (50 - 55°C.)

▯ Remove the food from the packaging before

defrosting.

▯ Only defrost the quantity that you need right away.

▯ Please consider: defrosted food will not last as

long as frozen food and will spoil more quickly
than fresh food. Prepare defrosted food
immediately and cook it thoroughly.

9 WARNING

Health risk

When defrosting food from animal sources, you
must remove the liquid that escapes during
defrosting. It must never come into contact with
other food. Bacteria could be transferred.
Insert the grill pan under the food. Throw away
the liquid that collects from defrosting meat and
poultry, then clean the sink thoroughly and rinse
it with a lot of water. Clean the grill pan in hot
soapy water or in the dishwasher. After
defrosting, operate the oven for 15 minutes
using convection at 355° F (180°C).

Which foods are affected?

Acrylamide is mainly produced in grain and potato
products that are heated to high temperatures, such
as potato crisps, chips, toast, bread rolls, bread, fine
baked goods (biscuits, gingerbread, cookies).

Tips for keeping acrylamide to a mini­mum when preparing food

General Keep cooking times to a minimum. Cook

meals until they are golden brown, but
not too dark. Large, thick pieces of food
contain less acrylamide.

Baking With convection max. 355° F (180°C).

Cookies Egg or egg yolk reduces the production

of acrylamide. Spread out a single layer
evenly on the baking tray.

Oven fries Cook at least 400 g at once on a baking

tray so that the fries do not dry out.
