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 subject yourself to an accident
risk if 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 compart-
ment 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 comple-
tely or close it. The oven door must not be left
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 over-
heating 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 autho-
rised Gaggenau service centre.
All heating elements and the fan are switched off
when you open the door.
After completion of baking or roasting, the

2.3 Operating principle of the
operating modes
Hot air
In the hot air mode, all prepared meals are cooked
at the same temperature. Diverse or similar meals
can be prepared on several levels without any
trransfer of taste.
You can bake, roast and sterilise with hot air.
Baking with hot air
This is the ideal operating mode for baking several
trays and tins at the same time. (Fig. 13)
Roasting with hot air
Meat is evenly browned on all sides. When cooking
on the grid, push the grilling tray one level lower to
collect dripping fat.
Hot air 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 and bottom
heat elements separately. In these modes of
operation you can deliberately choose to bake or
roast food from the top or the bottom.

Grilling
When grilling, food is cooked roasted at a tempera-
ture 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 infra-
red radiation depending on the setting of the tem-
perature 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 therefore ensures
better all-round warming-up, even when the grill is
full. There is no need to turn the food frequently.
(Fig. 17)
Economy grilling
Only the middle area of the grill heating element is
heated.
Do not forget to turn grilled food!
Grilling with the rotary spit produces a crispy
crust and even browning all-round. (Fig. 18) Insert
the support frame for the rotary spit in the second
level from below. Insert the grilling tray one level
further down to collect fat.
Please note: the core temperature sensor
cannot be used in combination with the rotary
spit. The rotary spit will not function if the
core temperature sensor is plugged in the
socket in the oven.

Fermenting
When using the fermenting function, you can raise
dough at 38 °C or you can thaw frozen food swiftly
and gently. (Fig. 19)
The light is off in this mode of operation
because it would otherwise additionally heat
up the oven compartment. You can switch on
the lighting for a few seconds by pressing any
key.
Baking stone operation (with special
accessories PS 02 /027 and HZ 02 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. 20).
Roaster operation (with special accessories
BT 02 and HZ 02 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
(Fig. 21).

2.4 Special functions
Display of the current oven temperature
(Thermotest)
Power failure safeguard
Holiday safeguard
Child lock
Auto pyrolysis (cleaning)
ECO operation
The current oven temperature is displayed for a few
seconds.
Note: when the oven is operated continuously,
temperature fluctuations of up to 5 °C, which are
inherent to the system, may occur.
Note: during the pyrolysis process, it is not
possible to display the current oven temperature.
When the oven is on, the heating process is
interrupted when the power returns after a 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.
In the cleaning mode, the oven is heated up to a
temperature of 485 °C. At this high temperature,
even the most stubborn of soiling is burnt away.
When you use the power-saving ECO mode, the
light is switched off during the cooking process. If a
cooking time has been programmed, the oven also
switches off the heating element before expiry of
the programmed time to make use of the residual
heat. You can switch the ECO mode on and off in
the options menu.

Fig. 23

3.2 Operating the timer
The required mode and temperature can be set
before and after time programming by turning the
"Temperature" or "Mode" knob.
As long as one or several symbol(s) in the display
flash(es), no input is possible and no value is pro-
grammed or an invalid value has been programmed.
All time values are entered by means of the
(timer), +, –and (confirmation) keys. Every
input triggers an audible and a visible signal.
If you select a program (e.g. end), but you do not
enter a value, the current time will appear on the
display after 20 seconds.
An entered value (e.g. duration programming)
must be confirmed within 20 seconds ("Confirm"
key). Entered values are not stored if they are not
confirmed.
Press the (Confirm) key if you wish to confirm
a value during programming.
If you press any other key instead, the entered
value will not be stored and will disappear.
You can query set values by pressing the
(timer) key. The value appears on the display for
around 10 seconds. During this time, you can
modify the value by pressing the +or –key and you
can confirm it by pressing the (Confirm) key.
Press the +and –keys at the same time if you wish
to clear a value.
If you have already programmed a time value
once (e.g. a duration) on the appliance, this
previously programmed value will be proposed to
you when programming a value again.
The longer you press the +or –key when
programming a time, the faster the time elapses on
the display.
After completion of time programming, the
corresponding symbol flashes on the display. For
example, if you have programmed an end time, the
(end time) symbol will flash. An audible signal is
also sounded. Heating is deactivated and the oven
lighting goes off. You can restart the previously
selected mode by pressing any key on the display.
You end the baking process by turning the
"Temperature" knob to 0.
Switching from the automatic mode to the
"normal mode":
Turn the temperature control knob back to 0.
The oven will then no longer heat. The previously
programmed time value is retained. An audible
signal sounds after the entered time has elapsed.
Note: If the time is not displayed exactly on the
timer, this not due to a technical defect. The mains
frequency of the public power supply is the time
base for the timers. In Europe, this is a standard
frequency of 50 Hz (Hertz). As far as this point is
concerned, power supply networks that are fed
from power stations in eastern Europe fluctuate.
This is why an incorrect time may be displayed.
This discrepancy has no influence on the functions
and program sequences of the appliance.
Every alarm goes off after 3 minutes.
Note: all time programming functions can be
programmed simultaneously.
