       Familiarising yourself with your appliance

Appearance

Depending on the situation, the appearance of symbols, 
values or the entire display changes.

Standby

The appliance switches to standby mode if no function 
is set or the childproof lock is activated.

The brightness of the control panel is dimmed in 
standby mode.

Notes

Different things can be displayed in standby mode. 
The default setting is the GAGGENAU logo and the 
time.

The brightness of the display depends on the 
vertical viewing angle.

You can change the display and the brightness at 
any time in the basic settings. 

Activating the appliance

To exit standby mode, you can either

Turn the function selector, 

Touch a control panel,

Open or close the door.

You can now set the desired function. You can read 
about how to set functions in the respective chapters.

Notes

When "Standby screen = off" is selected in the 
basic settings, you must turn the function selector 
to exit standby mode.

The appliance returns to the standby screen if you 
have not made any settings for a long time after 
activation.

When the door is open, the interior lighting 
switches off after a short time.

Additional information

(

 symbol, you can call up additional 

information. For example, information on the type of 
heating set or on the current temperature of the cooking 
compartment.

Cooling fan

Your appliance has a cooling fan. The cooling fan 
switches on when the appliance is in operation. The hot 
air escapes above the door. 

After removing your food from the appliance, keep the 
door closed until the appliance has cooled down. The 
appliance door must not be left half open as this may 
damage adjacent kitchen units. The cooling fan 
continues running for a certain period after the 
appliance has stopped heating; afterwards, it switches 
itself off automatically.

Caution!

Do not cover the ventilation slots. Otherwise, the 
appliance may overheat.

Drying the cooking compartment

After operation with a steam function, the cooking 
compartment is damp. The cooling fan and the fan 
wheel on the back wall of the cooking compartment 
continue to run for a while after the appliance is 
switched off and then switch off automatically. This may 
take up to 95 minutes. The appliance door must remain 
closed while the cooking compartment is being dried.

Zoom

The setting that you are changing 
will appear larger on the display.

If you have set a time and it is about 
to run out, it will appear larger on 
the display just before it runs out 
(e.g. 60

 

seconds before the end, if 

you have set the timer).

Pared-down  
display

After a short while, the amount of 
information shown on the display 
will be reduced and only the most 
important information will 
remain.This function is pre-set and 
can be changed in the basic 
settings.
