1.2 About use  
The appliance is intended solely for use in the  
household and must not be put to any other uses.  
The door window may fog up at all moisture levels  
(above all at the 100 % moisture level).  
Use the appliance to prepare meals only. It must not  
be used to heat up the room in which it is installed.  
Operating noise may occur in all operating modes.  
Opening and closing of the air flap causes clicking  
noise.  
Only ever use the included cooking inserts or  
order the special accessories.  
The appliance rinses automatically when switched  
on if it has not been in operation for a prolonged  
Do not place any items in the oven compartment  
that might rust. Rusty accessories will lead to further period of time or after a prolonged power failure  
rusting in the oven compartment!  
Do not use any silver tableware in the cooking  
compartment.  
(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.  
The cooking compartment may become  
discoloured during prolonged operation. This does  
not have a detrimental influence on operability of  
the appliance.  
At set temperatures below 65°C, the light is  
switched off after a few seconds to ensure that the  
halogen lamp will not additionally heat  
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.  
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.  
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.  
Calibration  
(automatic boiling point-adjustment):  
The boiling point of water depends on the baro-  
metric 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.  
Steam may escape during operation and when  
opening the door.  
The  
(Heating) symbol in the control panel goes

been calibrated!  
off as soon as the required temperature has been  
reached.  
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.  
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 after-  
sales service.

3. Operating for the first time  
3.1 Important notes  
Before operating the appliance for the first time,  
please pay attention to the following notes:  
Read through these instructions attentively before  
operating the appliance for the first time.  
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.  
Remove the packaging from the appliance and  
dispose of it properly.  
Before operating the appliance for the first time,  
make sure that the water connection is properly  
secured.  
Pay attention to the fact that there are accessories  
in the base of the packaging.

3.2 Calibration  
The boiling point of water depends on the  
barometric pressure at mean sea level.  
Important:  
The calibration process cannot be interrupted.  
During calibration, the appliance is adjusted to the  
pressure conditions prevailing at the altitude where  
the appliance is installed.  
Should the calibration process be interrupted by  
opening the door or switching off the appliance,  
the steam oven will not function. The appliance  
will automatically start calibration until the  
operation has been completed.  
Recalibrate the appliance manually if you should  
move home to a different altitude (see chapter  
entitled “Options menu” on Page 19).  
Recalibration is not necessary after a power  
failure.

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.  
Please also note that different designations are  
used outside Germany to describe the hardness of  
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.

5.3 Core temperature sensor  
Using the core temperature sensor, during the  
cooking process you can measure the core  
temperature of the food you are preparing exactly  
between 1 °C and 99 °C. The sensor measures the  
temperature in the interior of the meat. It indicates  
when the set core temperature has been reached  
and the meat has been cooked to satisfaction.  
The core temperature sensor  
– enables exact cooking to the spot.  
– prevents overcooking of roasts.  
– provides you with a display of the actual  
temperature for total control of the cooking  
process.  
Fig. 23  
Fig. 24  
Fig. 25  
Proceed as follows:  
– Preheat the oven.  
– Insert the cooking insert with the food.  
– Insert the tip of the core temperature sensor in  
the middle of the food, at its thickest point; not in  
the middle in the case of poultry (hollow), but  
between the belly and the thigh.  
The measuring tip must not touch any bones and  
should not be inserted into fatty tissue.  
Caution: The core temperature sensor and the  
sides are hot. Use a glove.  
– Close the oven door.  
– Press the (Core temperature sensor) key twice.  
The (Core temperature sensor) symbol flashes  
and the suggested value of 60 °C can be seen on  
the display (Fig. 24).  
You can enter a value between 1 °C and 99 °C (see  
table) by pressing the + and keys (Fig. 25).  
– Press the (Confirmation) key to confirm the

You have a possibility of deliberately adding more  
moisture to the food you are cooking (e.g. bread,  
bread rolls).  
5.4 Steaming  
Note: Steaming is only possible at the “Hot air”  
stage (0 %) or with 30% moisture (0 %).  
Proceed as follows:  
– Press the (Steaming / Condensing) key  
(Fig. 26).  
– Steaming lasts for as long as you keep the key  
pressed, but no more than 8 seconds. You can  
trigger steaming again by pressing the  
Fig. 26  
(Steaming / Condensing) key yet again.  
Before opening the door it is possible to remove the  
steam in the oven using the condensation mode.  
Water is added to the cooking compartment. This  
causes the cooking compartment to cool. So, when  
opening the door after condensing, less steam  
blows into your face.  
5.5 Condensing  
Note: Condensing is only possible by a humidity of  
100 %, 80 % and 60 % and at a temperature below  
130 °C.  
Proceed as follows:  
– Press the (Steaming / Condensing) key for  
approx. one second (Fig. 27).  
– Condensation starts to run only when the door is  
closed.  
– After condensation (approx. 20 sec.), an audible  
signal sounds. If the door is not opened, the  
appliance continues heating after a few seconds.  
Fig. 27  
You can end the process by opening the door  
(caution! drops of water may drip from the door)  
or pressing the condensing key.

When you press the (Confirmation) key, the  
current temperature in the cooking compartment  
and the moisture level appears on the display for  
a few seconds (Fig. 28).  
5.6 Display of the current cooking  
compartment temperature  
(ThermoTest)  
Note: If the appliance is operated for a prolonged  
period unavoidable temperature fluctuations of up  
to 5 °C may occur.  
When the setting 100 °C and 100 % humidity has  
been selected the appliance will heat until boiling  
point. The boiling point is dependent on the position  
above sea level and is usually, in fact, below 100 °C.  
In order to steam at boiling point you must select  
100 °C.  
Fig. 28  
5.7 Power failure protection  
When the steam oven is on, heating is interrupted  
if the power should fail and if it should then return  
again.  
Note: the appliance bridges a power failure lasting  
5 minutes. The cooking process can be continued  
unhindered. A prolonged power failure may have a  
negative influence on the cooking process. This is  
why cooking stays interrupted. You must switch the  
appliance off and then on again.  
5.8 Holiday protection  
For your protection, the appliance features holiday  
protection. Every heating operation is switched off  
after 15 hours if the appliance is not operated  
during this time. Dashes appear on the display.  
Turn the two control knobs to 0. You can then  
operate the appliance in the way to which you are  
accustomed. This function is not active when a time  
has been programmed.  
5.9 Cleaning aid  
The cleaning assistance feature loosens soiling,  
which can then be removed with greater ease  
(see Chapter 9.3).

6. Further uses  
Low-temperature cooking  
Vigorously browned meat matures over a longer  
time at a lower temperature.  
Fermenting  
Raising yeast dough, self-raising flour and sour  
dough mixtures  
– Preheat the appliance to 70 - 80 °C (depending on  
the size of the food). To do this, turn the “Moisture  
content” control knob to the 30 % position.  
– Place the bowl containing the dough on the wire  
grill.  
– Turn the “Temperature” knob to 30 - 40 °C and the  
“Moisture content” knob to 60 %.  
– Briefly roast the meat on all sides in a pan.  
Note: the longer you roast the meat in the pan, the  
shorter the roasting time in the oven.  
Extracting juice  
The steam oven allows you to extract juices even  
without a special juice extraction pot.  
– Place the meat on a preheated plate in the oven.  
– Larger pieces of meat (e.g. entrecote, roast beef  
or leg of lamb) need 2 - 4 hours).  
Smaller pieces of meat (steak or diced chicken)  
take 30 - 60 minutes.  
– Place the fruit or berries in the perforated  
cooking insert.  
– Insert the perforated cooking insert with the fruit  
in the 3rd level from below.  
You can reduce the temperature to 60 °C towards  
the end of the cooking time. For larger pieces  
of meat, you can extend the cooking time by  
2 - 4 hours or for smaller pieces you can extend it  
by 30 - 45 minutes.  
– Place the deep unperforated cooking insert one  
level lower to collect the juice.  
– Turn the “Temperature” knob to 100 °C and the  
“Moisture content” knob to 100 %.  
Reheating  
Leave the fruit in the appliance until juice no longer  
appears (1 - 2 hours depending on the type of fruit).  
Warming up ready-cooked meals without quality  
losses.  
– Heat up the appliance to 120 °C. To do this, turn  
the “Moisture” control knob to the 60 % position.  
Sterilising  
Preserving fruit, vegetables and meats in  
preserving jars.  
– Portion cooked but cold meals on plates.  
– Place the plates on the wire grill.  
– Cooking time: 7 - 15 minutes.  
– Place the filled preserving jars on the gridiron or  
the perforated cooking insert. Important: the jars  
must not touch each other.  
Note: to reheat vegetables or pastas choose a  
temperature of 100 °C and a moisture of 100 %.  
– Turn the “Temperature” knob to 100 °C and the  
“Moisture content” knob to 100 %.  
– Turn the “Temperature” knob to 0 as soon as the  
contents of the jars begin to bubble.  
Do not remove the preserving jars from the oven  
until they have cooled down completely.

Thawing  
– After 1-2 minutes, remove the cooking receptacle  
from the oven again and place the vegetables in  
iced water to cool them.  
Thawing deep frozen products gently and in a short  
time.  
– Place the frozen foodstuff in the perforated  
cooking receptacle.  
– Allow the food to drip off well.  
– Insert the perforated cooking insert with the  
frozen food in the 2nd level from below.  
Preparing yoghurt  
Preparing yoghurt the do-it-yourself way.  
– Insert the unperforated cooking insert one level  
lower to collect the thawing liquid.  
– Heat milk (except long-life milk) on the hob to  
90 °C to avoid disturbing the bacteria in the lactic  
acid.  
– Turn the “Temperature” knob to 45-50°C and the  
“Moisture content” knob to 80%.  
– Cool the milk to 40 °C in a water bath.  
The time it takes to thaw depends on the size and  
weight of the frozen food.  
– Stir natural yoghurt (without fruit) into the milk  
(1-2 teaspoons for every 100 ml).  
Application examples:  
– Pour the yoghurt into clean jars.  
Chicken (1000 g)  
55 - 65 minutes  
30 - 35 minutes  
Chicken legs (400 g)  
Vegetable frozen in a block  
(e.g. spinach) (400 g)  
Berries (300 g)  
– In the case of yoghurt ferment, pay attention to  
the notes on the packet.  
20 - 30 minutes  
8 - 10 minutes  
15 - 20 minutes  
– Turn the “Temperature” knob to 45 °C and the  
“Moisture content” knob to 80 %. Allow the  
yoghurt to mature for 4 - 6 hours.  
Fish fillet (400 g)  
After the thawing time has elapsed, leave thawed  
food for another 10-15 minutes in the appliance  
after switching off to ensure that the food is able  
to thaw right down to its interior.  
Note: The time needed for maturity will be  
lengthened if you use cold milk to produce the  
yoghurt.  
On completion, place the yoghourt in the fridge!  
Blanching  
Tip: before heating the milk, add skimmed milk  
powder (1 - 2 tablespoons for every litre) to obtain  
yoghurt that will not go off.  
By blanching, vegetables that are to be frozen,  
for example, retain their natural colour.  
– Place the food in a perforated cooking  
receptacle.  
To kill off undesirable germs, before preparing  
the yoghurt place the yoghurt jars in the oven  
compartment for a few minutes at 100 °C and 100 %  
moisture. Caution! The yoghurt jars are hot. Allow  
them to cool down before taking them out of the  
oven.  
– Turn the “Temperature” knob to 100 °C and the  
“Moisture content” knob to 100 %.  
– As soon as the temperature has been reached,  
place the cooking receptacle in the second level  
from below and place the unperforated cooking  
receptacle one level lower.

8. Tips and tricks  
General:  
Tips on how to save energy and protect the  
environment:  
– The appliance does not need long to heat up.  
It therefore operates in an extremely energy and  
time-saving fashion.  
– Cooking times depend on the quality, weight and  
height of the food. This is why specified values  
can only serve as recommendations.  
– Food being cooked must not come into contact  
with the oven compartment, the grease filter or  
the air baffle.  
– The steam oven door must seal well. So always  
keep the door seal faces clean.  
– Do not place too much on wire grill and in  
receptacles. This will ensure optimum circulation  
of the air.  
– Give good thought to what foods you can cook at  
the same time. This will ensure an even load on  
your appliance and will save you time and energy.  
– Avoid opening the steam oven door frequently  
and for prolonged periods. Otherwise, generated  
steam and heat can escape unhindered and then  
has to be generated again. This involves a loss  
of large amounts of energy and prolongs the  
cooking time.  
You can often use several levels at once (when  
steaming with up to 100 °C, not when baking).  
Thawing tips:  
– Only thaw the quantity you need.  
– Please remember: once food has been thawed,  
it may not be possible to keep it for as long as  
intended and it will perish faster than fresh food.  
– Thawing: Thaw pieces of meat that you intend to  
bread long enough to ensure that spices and the  
bread crumbs will adhere to the meat.  
– Thawing poultry: remove poultry from its  
packaging before thawing. Important: pour away  
the thawed water.  
What are all the things you can do better with  
the steam oven?  
– Cook potatoes in the perforated receptacle.  
By doing so, you will ensure that the steam can  
reach the potatoes from all sides. This will make  
cooking more intensive.  
– Use the perforated insert to boil large quantities  
of eggs. Please note: Compared to an egg boiler,  
the cooking time is extended by 2-3 minutes.  
You will have to preheat the appliance if you want  
to boil soft eggs.  
You can collect vegetable juices by placing the  
unperforated insert in the bottom rack.  
– For foods that are sensitive to pressure (such as  
dumplings), you are best using two low cooking  
receptacles rather than just one. By doing so, you  
will ensure that items do not lie on one another  
and cannot get crushed.  
You can store kitchen herbs frozen and you can  
use them unthawed.  
– Thawing and heating in steam is possible instead  
of a bain-marie. Leave the meal in the bag or put  
in directly on a plate.  
Sterilising:  
– If possible preserve foodstuffs immediately after  
buying or harvesting them. Prolonged storage  
reduces their vitamin content and leads easily to  
fermentation.  
– Peel tomatoes: cut into the tomatoes and place  
them in the steam for 1 to 2 minutes. Then dip the  
tomatoes in ice water.  
You can even decrystallise honey with your steam  
oven. To do this, set a temperature of 60 °C and a  
moisture level of 100 % steam.  
– Only ever use fruit and vegetables that are in a  
perfect state. Examine preserving jars and rubber  
rings exactly. Check clips and springs. Sterilise  
the jars and clean the rubber rings. Rinse them  
with hot water.

9. Cleaning and care  
9.1 Manual cleaning  
You should thoroughly clean the appliance before  
operating it for the first time and after every  
use. By doing so, you avoid baking in of residues.  
After residues have baked in several times, they  
are then difficult to remove.  
Caution: Do not clean this appliance with a steam  
cleaning unit or with water pressure - risk of short-  
circuits!  
Empty the drip channel and clean it.  
Clean the grease filter at regular intervals.  
Remove the support grills. Push up the grease filter  
and then remove it.  
Never use any abrasive or aggressive cleaning  
agents such as abrasive agents, steel wool,  
saponified steel wool, metal sponges, plastic  
sponges or sponges with an abrasive surface.  
Clean the strainer and the siphon at regular  
intervals. To do this, unscrew the strainer from the  
bottom plate.  
After cleaning, remove all cleaning agent residues  
without leaving any on the appliance.  
When you wish to clean the appliance manually,  
switch it off and allow it to cool down.  
Clean accessory parts (cooking inserts etc.) in a  
dishwasher or with hot water and rinsing detergent.  
You can loosen food remainders that have burnt into  
the cooking inserts by placing a little water and  
rinsing detergent in the cooking insert. Soak these  
in the steam oven at 70 °C and 100 % moisture.  
The outer surfaces must only be cleaned with a  
soft cloth. Do not use any commercially available  
stainless steel cleaners as these may be aggressive  
to the printed markings.  
Clean operator controls and glass surfaces with  
a soft cloth and light rinsing detergent and wipe  
them dry with a soft dry cloth. Do not use any  
abrasive or nitro polishing agents for cleaning. Do  
not use any abrasive sponges either. Do not spray  
anything onto the switch panel.  
Do not use strongly alkaline cleaning agents (such  
as oven spray) because these are aggressive to the  
aluminium surface.  
Do not scrape off burnt-in food remainders.  
Remove them by means of the cleaning aid function  
instead (see Chapter 9.3).

9.2 Cleaning the side plate  
– Allow the appliance to cool down completely  
before cleaning it.  
– Be careful that no small parts fall into the base  
strainer.  
– Pull out the left shelf after undoing the knurled nut  
on the front side.  
– The grease filter can be detached in the upward  
direction.  
– To remove the side plate, undo the 4 nuts with a  
socket spanner (8 mm). Be careful not to scratch  
the inside of the cooker.  
Fig. 29  
– Do not use any abrasive cleaning agents to clean  
the side plate.  
– Limescale deposits on the side panel and on the  
fan are harmless and do not detrimentally  
influence functioning of your appliance.  
– The inlet pipe should be cleaned regularly.  
See chapter 10.3 entitled Descaling.  
– Re-insert the side plate. Re-attach the grease  
filter and the shelves.  
– Check that all parts are fitted securely before  
commencing operation of the appliance.

9.3 Cleaning aid  
Stubborn soiling can be loosened by means of  
the cleaning aid and may then be removed more  
easily.  
You should not detach the grease filter. It protects  
the fan against cleaning agent residues. You can  
then clean the grease filter and shelves in a  
dishwasher.  
– Allow the appliance to cool down completely  
before cleaning it.  
– Remove the shelves by undoing the knurled nuts.  
The appliance can be wiped out better later on.  
– Spray a household cleaning agent that is suitable  
for stainless steel onto the cold appliance.  
Note: be careful that no cleaner comes in contact  
with the aluminium panel while cleaning.  
Fig. 30  
– Close the appliance door.  
– Leave the agent to act according to  
manufacturer’s instructions.  
– Starting in the initial position, turn the two control  
knobs by one latching position to the left (Fig. 30).  
– The (Cleaning aid) symbol lights up on the  
display. The (Duration) and (Cooking time)  
flash on the display (Fig. 31).  
Fig. 31  
– The cleaning time of 30 minutes is shown on the  
display. For heavy soiling you can change the  
cleaning time to 40, 50 minutes or 1 hour by  
pressing the + key.  
– Press the (Confirmation) key to start the  
operation.  
Note: the light in the oven compartment is off  
during the cleaning process.

– By pressing the (Clock) key you can query the  
remaining time. An audible signal sounds once  
the cleaning aid has finished.  
– Press the (Confirmation) key to switch off the  
signal. Do not turn the control knobs.  
– Immediately clean the inside of the oven with a  
soft brush, and wipe with a soft cloth. By pressing  
the (Steaming / condensing) key you can add  
fresh water to aid cleaning (only when both  
control knobs remain in the position cleaning aid).  
Note: the (Steaming / condensing) key must  
not be pressed when the side plate has been  
removed. Risk of splashing!  
– Should you leave the door open too long, that the  
inside of the oven is too dry, repeat the process.  
– To rinse the oven, close the door and heat the  
oven for some minutes at 100 % moisture and  
100 °C.  
– Let the oven cool. You can now dry and polish the  
inside of the oven and the glass panel with a soft  
dry cloth.  
– Turn the control knobs back to the starting  
position. Reattach the grease filter and the  
shelves. Check that all parts are fitted securely  
before commencing operation of the appliance.

The water evaporates behind the side plate.  
Scaling therefore drops out there and is washed  
into the oven compartment. Scale can be wiped  
away with a moist cloth.  
10.3 Descaling  
The inlet pipe must be descaled at regular inter-  
vals. The oven is equipped with a device which  
counts the operational hours. Depending on the  
hardness of the water entered, after a certain  
Fig. 32  
number of hours the symbol  
(Descale) will  
constantly blink on the display. This shows that the  
inlet pipe should be descaled (Fig. 32). This symbol  
flashes even when the appliance is off.  
To descale the inlet pipe, proceed as follows:  
– Remove the shelf and the side plate on the left.  
(see Chapter 9.2).  
– Dismantle the inlet pipe by first removing the nut  
(8 mm) and by then pulling the inlet pipe out of  
the mount (Fig. 33).  
– Clean the inlet pipe by soaking it in vinegar  
essence, citric acid or descaler.  
– Reinstall the inlet pipe in the reverse order.  
Note: the conical side of the nut must face the  
appliance side.

Fresh water  
– The water connection for the supply hose must  
always be accessible, and must not be directly  
behind the appliance.  
If the water pressure in your house exceeds 6 bar,  
you must use the connection set DR 220-010. The  
connection set DR 220-010 is intended for an input  
pressure of 6 to 10 bar. Contact your installing  
technician if you do not know the water pressure  
in your household.  
– Connect the appliance to a cold water connection  
with an R 3/4“ hose gland.  
– Insert the included dirt strainer on the tap end.  
– Fit the angled connection on the appliance. The  
minimum water pressure is 2 bar.  
– The enclosed seals must be fitted expertly.  
Tip: run the water for a few minutes if the water  
pipe is new or if it has not been in use for a  
prolonged period of time without the appliance  
being connected to the water mains. Otherwise,  
the water supply line may clog up and the  
appliance will signal  
that the water is low.  
Note: the appliance must not be connected to  
the hot water supply.  
The steam oven is protected against back-suction  
(DVGW-tested). There is therefore no need to  
install connection fittings with non-return valve.  
Special local waterworks regulations must be  
observed very precisely.  
If the hardness of the water exceeds 9 ° (English  
water hardness), you must install a descaling  
system before the appliance. We recommend the  
descaling system WF 040-020 which you can order  
from your kitchen specialist.
