1.2 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.
Only ever use the included cooking inserts or
order the special accessories.
Do not place any items in the oven compartment
that might rust. Rusty accessories will lead to further
rusting in the oven compartment!
Do not use any silver tableware in the cooking
compartment.
The cooking compartment may become
discoloured during prolonged operation. This does
not have a detrimental influence on operability of
the appliance.
Operation is only possible when the door is closed,
otherwise there is a risk that water will spray out of
the appliance or that hot steam will come out.
The steam oven uses unpressurized steam,
therefore the door can be opened at any time
during cooking. To prevent extreme steam from
escaping when you open the door, you can
condense beforehand. Water may drip when
opening the door.
Steam may escape during operation and when
opening the door.
The (Heating) symbol in the control panel goes
off as soon as the required temperature has been
reached.
Turn the “Temperature” control knob (right control
knob) to the 0 position after use.
In the event of malfunctions, first of all check
the household fuses. If the problem has nothing to
do with the power or water supply, please contact
your specialist dealer or your local Gaggenau aftersales service.
The door window may fog up at all moisture levels
(above all at the 100 % moisture level).
Operating noise may occur in all operating modes.
Opening and closing of the air flap causes clicking
noise.
The appliance rinses automatically when switched
on if it has not been in operation for a prolonged
period of time or after a prolonged power failure
(several hours). This removes water that is left over
in the pipes.
The food being cooked must not come into contact
with the sides or the grease filter.
At set temperatures below 65°C / 150°F , the light is
switched off after a few seconds to ensure that the
halogen lamp will not additionally heat up the oven
compartment. This ensures more precise
temperature coordination. The light in the oven
compartment is switched on again for a few
seconds if you turn one of the two control knobs or
if you press a key.
Calibration
(automatic boiling point-adjustment):
the boiling point of water depends on the barometric pressure. The barometric pressure changes
with the altitude of the place where the appliance is
installed. During self-adjustment, the appliance
adapts itself to the pressure conditions prevailing at
the appliance’s location.
The appliance cannot be operated if it has not
been calibrated!
The appliance features a descaling display.
When it flashes, this is an indication that the
appliance must be descaled. Before commencing
operation, you must enter the water hardness in
your household on the appliance.

dispose of it properly.
Pay attention to the fact that there are accessories
in the base of the packaging.
Keep packaging elements away from children.
Thoroughly clean the appliance and accessories
before using them for the first time. This will
eliminate any “newness” smells and soiling (see
Chapter 9).
3.2 Calibration
The boiling point of water depends on the
barometric pressure at mean sea level.
During calibration, the appliance is adjusted to the
pressure conditions prevailing at the altitude where
the appliance is installed.
Recalibrate the appliance manually if you should
move home to a different altitude (see chapter
entitled “Options menu” on Page 21).
Every appliance is subjected to a thorough check
before it arrives in your home. It is therefore
possible that there is still water in the appliance.
Before operating the appliance for the first time,
make sure that the water connection is properly
secured.

3.4 Determining water hardness
Water hardness range 4 has been pre-entered on
the appliance. If the hardness of the water in your
household should deviate from this value, the
correct water hardness range (between 1
and 4) must be entered before commencing
operation of the appliance. You can find out
the hardness of the water in your household either
by consulting your waterworks or by using the
included test strip.
– Run water from the tap for about 20 seconds to
drain off stale water.
– Fill a glass with tap water and briefly (no more
than 1 second) dip the test strip into the water,
making sure that all test points are wetted.
– Remove the strip from the water and shake off any
surplus water drops.
– You can read off the result after one minute.
– If your water contains lime, one or more of the test
areas is/are of a reddish colour and the others
stay light or greenish. The number of light (green)
areas defines the right water hardness range
setting on the appliance.
The test set must be used even if a water descaling
system is already installed in your household
because, depending on the descaling method, not
all scale-forming ions are removed.
Please also note that different designations are
used outside Germany to describe the hardness of
water.
