Avoiding Damage to the Appliance and the Cabinet

Steam Oven and Cabinet Fronts

Do not cover the ventilation openings of the steam oven.

Do not take off the door seal. A damaged door seal must be changed immediately.

After taking the food out of the oven, allow the oven to cool down with the door closed. Do not leave the oven door half open, the hot air can cause damage to adjacent cabinets. The cooling fan will continue to run for a while and will then switch off automatically.

Avoiding Damage to the Oven Interior

Observe the following tips to avoid corrosion in the oven. No warranty claims can be lodged for any damage resulting from non compliance with these notes.

  • Clean the oven interior after it has cooled down. After cleaning, use the drying function to dry the oven interior.
  • Aggressive cleaners may cause corrosion. Only use hot soapy water to clean the oven interior. Use the cleaning function.
  • Do not use oven cleaner or caustic cleaners. Do not use cleaners containing chloride.
  • For regular care of the stainless steel interior we recommend the Gaggenau oven care product. Please observe the notes in the cleaning chapter.
  • Salt in the oven reacts aggressively. Salt residues on the oven interior may cause spots of corrosion. Always remove residues immediately.
  • Spicy sauces (e.g. ketchup, mustard) and salted food (e.g. salted roasts) contain chloride and acids. These act aggressively on stainless steel. Always clean the oven interior after use.
  • Only use original accessories in the oven interior. Rusting materials (e.g. serving plates, cutlery) may cause corrosion of the oven interior.
  • Only use original small parts (e.g. knurled nuts). Order small parts from our after-sales service, should you lose any.

Important Notes

  • The cooking times given are only a recommendation. The effective cooking time depends on the quality of the food, its temperature, the amount and the size of the food.
    ● Always preheat the oven. This will guarantee the best results.
  • The cooking times given here are for a preheated oven. Add about 5 minutes to the cooking time if the oven has not been preheated.
  • The values given are for 4 average portions. Add to the cooking time for larger amounts.
  • Use the recommended cooking inserts. Using different cooking inserts might change the cooking times.
  • Try new dishes at the shortest time value given. If necessary, extend the cooking time.
  • Only open the oven door for a short time when putting food in the oven.

  • If you use only one level, place the cooking insert on the second level from the bottom.

  • You can use simultaneously up to three levels (level 2, 3 and 4 from the bottom) for steaming, defrosting, dough proofing and regenerating. You can cook different dishes simultaneously without flavour transfer. However, the cooking times may increase for large amounts of food.
  • You can only bake on one single level. Use the second level from below.
  • Food being cooked must not come into contact with the oven compartment, grease filter or rear plate.
  • The steam oven door must seal well. Always keep the door seal clean.
  • Do not place too much food on the wire rack or the cooking insert. This will ensure optimum circulation of the air.
    ● Always leave the grease filter in place during use.

Vegetables

● The cooking times are for 1 kg of cleaned vegetables.
- Use the perforated cooking insert on the second level from below for steaming.
- Place the unperforated cooking insert on the level below. Use the vegetable stock that collects in the unperforated cooking insert as a base for sauce or stock.

Fish

  • Steaming is a gentle cooking process and fish retains its taste.
  • For hygienic reasons, steam fish until it reaches a core temperature of at least 62-65 °C. This is also the ideal core temperature for fish.
  • Salt the fish after steaming. Thus, the natural aroma is preserved and the fish does not dry out.
  • When using the perforated cooking insert grease it lightly to prevent the fish sticking to it.
  • Fillets with skin: place the fish with the skin to the top, this preserves the texture and aroma.

Meat

The cooking times given are only a recommendation. The effective cooking time depends on the temperature of the food and the roasting time on the hob. For precise control use the meat probe. Refer to the chapter "Meat Probe" for tips on using the meat probe and the temperature table for the different meats.

Meat – roasting at higher temperatures

  • Time to settle down: wrap the meat in aluminium foil and leave to rest for 10-15 minutes after roasting. The meat can “settle down”. More juices will stay in the meat when cutting it open.
  • To roast the meat rare or medium: open the oven door when the core temperature is 5 °C below the required value and wait until the value has been reached. This prevents overcooking and gives the meat time to settle down.
  • When using the perforated cooking insert or the wire rack, place the unperforated cooking insert on the level below. Fill with a small amount of water to avoid residues burning in. You can add vegetables, wine, spices or herbs to get a delicious base for sauce.

Meat – Low-temperature Cooking

  • Seared meat matures over a longer time at a low temperature in the oven. The food will remain juicy and preserve most of its nutrients.
  • Please note that the core temperature of the food will always stay below the set temperature in the oven. As a recommendation, set the oven temperature 10-15°C higher than the required core temperature.
    Take the meat from the fridge one hour before cooking.
  • For hygienic reasons, briefly sear the meat from all sides in a hot pan on the hob before putting it in the oven. This will give the roast the typical flavour.
  • Serve on warmed dishes.
  • You can reduce the temperature to 60 °C towards the end of the cooking time (for example if your guests arrive late).
  • 30% moisture means “Cooking in own moisture”. With this setting no additional steam is added, but the air flap remains closed. Thus, the natural moisture of the food remains in the oven and prevents the meat from drying out.

Poultry

  • The cooking times given are only a recommendation and depend on the temperature of the food before roasting. For precise control use the meat probe. Do not insert the tip of the meat probe in the middle (hollow) but between the belly and the thigh. Refer to the chapter "Meat Probe" for further tips and the temperature table.
  • Season poultry with spices and only little or no oil to get a crispy skin.

Preparing Yogurt

  • Heat pasteurised milk on the hob to 90 °C to avoid damaging the yogurt bacteria. You do not need to heat up long-life milk. (Note: the time needed for maturing will be lengthened if you use cold milk to produce the yogurt).
  • Important! Cool the milk in a bain-marie until it reaches 40 °C to avoid destroying the yogurt bacteria.
  • Stir natural yogurt (use yogurt with yogurt bacteria) into the milk (1-2 teaspoons for every 100 ml).
  • In the case of yogurt ferment, pay attention to the notes on the packet.
  • Pour the yogurt into clean jars.
  • Disinfect the clean yogurt jars in the oven for 20-25 minutes at 100^ / 100% moisture before filling them with yogurt. Note: let the jars and the oven cool down before filling the jars with yogurt to put them in the oven.
  • On completion, place the yogurt in the fridge.
  • Add skimmed milk powder to the milk before heating it (1-2 tablespoons per litre) to get a more solid yogurt.

Safety Notes

⚠ Warning! Do not clean the hob using high pressure cleaners or steam jets.
⚠ Warning, risk of burns! Before cleaning, wait until the appliance has cooled down.

Oven Interior

Important! Do not spray cleaning agents into the air flap on the top of the oven interior!

Clean the oven interior with a cloth/sponge and a small amount of hot soapy water. Avoid residues burning in. After cleaning, leave the door open until the oven has dried or use the drying function.

For regular care of the stainless steel oven interior we recommend the Gaggenau oven care product which is available through our after sales service or your specialist dealer (order number 667 027).

Please observe the included instructions for use of the product.

Do not scrape off baked-in remainders of food. Instead, moisten them with a wet cloth and detergent.

If the oven is heavily soiled use the cleaning function for best results.

Do not use non-suitable cleaning agents:

  • scouring cleaning agents
  • nitro polishing agents
  • cleaners containing chloride
  • abrasive sponges or objects

Heavily Soiled Oven Interior

For heavy soiling we recommend you should only use the oven cleaning gel (order number 463 582) which is available through our after sales service. Other cleaners can damage the oven.

When applying the cleaning gel avoid the gel coming into contact with the light and all seals (door, light). Do not leave the cleaning gel on for more than 12 hours and do not heat up the oven during this time.

Carefully rinse the oven interior with clear water. Remove all traces of the cleaning gel before using the oven. Remaining traces of cleaner can damage the oven.

Please observe the included instructions for use of the product.

text_image Diagram showing musical notation and waveform icons above a black rectangle with symbols like 'A', 'S', and crossed-out square.

If you have installed the Brita descaling system WF 040-020 between the water supply and the appliance, change the filter cartridge regularly.

Set the option "filter available" in the basic settings. The appliance calculates the capacity of the filter cartridge depending on the entered water hardness and the use. Shortly before you have to change the filter cartridge, a symbol appears on the display every time you switch on the oven. This symbol shows the remaining capacity of the filter cartridge.

If the filter capacity has expired, the symbol is shown constantly on the display if the appliance is on. Change the filter cartridge.

Reset the filter capacity symbol in the basic settings after changing the filter cartridge.

Note:

Depending on the preset water hardness and the operating modes used, the symbol to change the filter cartridge may not appear on the display for a long period of time.

The manufacturer of the descaling filter recommends to change the filter cartridge at least once a year for hygienic reasons irrespective of the water hardness.

Descaling

To keep your appliance in good working order, you have to descale the side plate regularly, if no Brita descaling sytem WF 040-020 has been installed in the water supply.

Descale the oven when the descaling symbol appears on the display.

Leave the oven to cool down completely before descaling!

Be careful not to scratch the oven interior when removing the side plate. Small parts might fall into the base strainer. Tip: put a kitchen cloth over the oven base.

Only use the descaler recommended by our after-sales service (order number 311 138). Other descalers may damage the appliance. Mix a descaling solution of 500 ml of water and 100 ml of descaler. Do not let the descaler come into contact with the frame of the oven.

Do not use any scouring or abrasive cleaning agents to clean the side plate.
