become jammed under the hot oven door or come
into contact with hot cooking surfaces.
As the user, you yourself are responsible for
maintenance and proper use in the household.
Only ever operate the appliance under
supervision.
Caution: fire risk! Do not store any combustible
items in your oven. During operation, only leave the
parts in the cooking compartment that you actually
need.
Caution! The appliance and, until the cooling fan is
switched on, also the control panel heat up during
operation. Keep children away!
Note: to avoid jeopardising the electrical safety of
the appliance, it is forbidden to use high-pressure
or steam jet cleaning devices.
The appliance has to be isolated from the mains
during all maintenance. To do this, remove the
mains plug or actuate the corresponding fuse.
Repairs may only be carried out by authorised
electricians, in order to guarantee the safety of the
appliance.
No warranty claims can be lodged for any
damage resulting from failure to observe these
instructions.
Technical modifications reserved.
1.2 Operating for the first time
Before operating the appliance for the first time,
please pay attention to the following notes:
Read through these instructions attentively before
operating your appliance for the first time.
The appliance must be installed and connected by
a specialist.
Remove the packaging from the appliance and
dispose of it properly.
Pay attention to the fact that there are accessories
in the base of the packaging.
Keep packaging material away from children.
Before operating the appliance for the first time,
make sure that the mains connection is in proper
working order.
Before using the oven for the first time, remove
all removable interior parts (grid iron, tray ...). Now
operate the oven for one hour at 300 °C in the hot
air mode. During this time, pay attention to ensuring
that the room is ventilated well, thus removing any
newness smells.
Thoroughly clean the appliance and accessories

1.3 About use
The appliance is intended solely for use in the
household and must not be put to any other uses.
Use the appliance to prepare meals only. It must
not be used to heat up the room in which it is
installed.
Caution! You will risk injuring yourself, should you
close the door improperly. You might jam and crush
your fingers and hands.
Do not store any combustible objects in your oven
and, when operating the oven, never leave any
items inside the oven compartment other than the
ones needed.
Make sure that the bottom of the oven
compartment is never covered up during operation
or lined with aluminium foil.
Never pour water directly into the hot oven. This
could damage the enamel.
Always preheat your oven in the mode in which
you intend to bake or roast.
Tip: you have a possibility of heating up the
appliance very quickly. To do this, use the hot air
and bottom heat program.
The “Heating" symbol in the control panel
goes off as soon as the set temperature has been
reached.
Observe caution with oils and fats. They may
overheat and burn easily.
Note! Fruit acids such as the juice of lemons or
plums etc. should be removed after every baking
operation, thus making sure that they will not cause
spots on the oven’s enamel.
After baking/roasting, open the door completely or close it. Do not leave the oven door half
open as otherwise the control panel and
kitchen furniture may be damaged.
Caution: risk of burns. The inside of the door
gets very hot during operation; observe appropriate
caution when opening the appliance. Make sure
that the open door does not swing back when you
are standing in front of the appliance.
Built-in temperature protection prevents overheating of the appliance and of kitchen furniture.
Return the “Temperature" knob to “0" after baking.
If malfunctions should occur, first check the fuses
in your household. If there is no fault in the power
supply, consult your dealer or the nearest authorised Gaggenau service centre.
All heating elements and the fan are switched off
when you open the door.
After completion of baking or roasting, the
cooling fan will continue to run for a time and will
then switch off automatically.
The socket for the separate heating element for the
roaster and the baking stone (special accessory),
can be found in the middle of the back panel at the
bottom. During normal operation, please leave the
cover in the socket.

2.3 Operating principle of the
operating modes
Hot air circulation
In the hot air circulation mode, all prepared meals
are cooked at the same temperature. Diverse or
similar meals can be prepared on several levels
without any transfer of taste.
You can bake, roast and sterilise with hot air.
Baking with hot air circulation
This is the ideal operating mode for baking several
trays and tins at the same time. (Fig. 13)
Roasting with hot air circulation
Meat is evenly browned on all sides. When roasting
on the grid iron, push the grilling tray one level
lower to collect dripping fat.
Hot air circulation and bottom heat
When this function is used, the bottom heating
element is additionally in operation.
The fan wheel ensures a uniform distribution of
heat. Heat is also generated from below. (Fig. 14)
Top and bottom heat
Two heating elements (top and bottom heat) are
operated jointly. When baking with top and bottom
heat, you can only use one level. You get the best
baking and roasting results on the second level
from below. (Fig. 15)
This unit allows you to select the top heat element
separately. In this mode of operation you can
deliberately choose to bake or roast food from the
top.

Grilling
When grilling, food is cooked/roasted at a temperature of 150-300 °C from above. A distinction can be
made between the following kinds:
Temperature-controlled grilling
During temperature-controlled grilling, the heating
element emits a greater or lesser amount of infrared radiation depending on the setting of the temperature selector switch. (Fig. 16)
This method of grilling is suitable for flat pieces of
meat and for browning or gratins.
Do not forget to turn grilled food!
Grilling with the hot air fan
The additional fan circulates the hot air and so
ensures a more even heat, when grilling several
items at the same time. There is no need to turn the
food frequently. (Fig. 17)
ECO
Using the ECO mode is an energy saving way to
prepare cakes, small pastries and gratins with hot
air circulation. The light and catalytic converter
heating are switched off in this mode and the oven
will take longer to heat up. When you program the
timer, the heating element will be switched off
before the cooking time has elapsed, thus
exploiting the residual heat. (Fig. 18)

Baking stone operation (with special
accessories PS 026 and HZ 026 only)
Be it crispy pizza or fresh bread – with the baking
stone you produce baking results that are
comparable to those of a solid stone oven. (Fig. 19)
Roaster operation (with special accessories
BT 026 and HZ 026 only)
Using the cast roaster, you can brown and gently
roast large quantities of meat, or you can prepare a
Christmas turkey or a large oven-baked dish.

2.4 Special functions
Display of the current oven temperature
(Thermotest)
Power failure safeguard
Holiday safeguard
Child lock
ECO plus mode
The current oven temperature is displayed for a few
seconds when you press the (Confirmation) key.
Note: when the oven is operated continuously,
temperature fluctuations of up to 5 °C, which are
inherent to the system, may occur.
When the oven is on and a power failure occurs,
the heating process is stopped when the power
returns after the failure.
Note: the appliance bridges a power failure lasting
5 minutes without any consequences.
Every oven heating process is cancelled after
12 hours if the oven has not been operated during
this time. This function is not active if the timer has
been programmed.
The child lock prevents inadvertent activation of the
oven.
When you select the energy saving ECO plus mode
in the options menu, the light and catalytic converter
heating are switched off during the cooking
process in all the heating modes. If the timer has
been programmed, the oven also switches off the
heating element before expiry of the programmed
time to make use of the residual heat.
