28 Heat-insulated door with multiple-fold glazing The multiple glazing has four layers of glass. The temperature on the outer pane remains low, even when the pyrolytic process is at maximum power. Innowave Innowave’s cutting-edge technology offers real microwave power settings with variable energy outputs – a much more energysaving cooking method than with conventional appliances because of the choice it offers between high, medium and low power settings. This means fast, reliable results for both cooking and defrosting. In addition, the heat penetrates greatly, so food cannot become overcooked on top or around the edges when it’s only half-cooked or not even fully defrosted in the middle. It looks and tastes better. Gaggenau’s Innowave appliances are extreamly compact, which means they’re more efficient in terms of cooking volume. Juice extraction Juice can be conveniently extracted from fruit using the perforated cooking insert. The juice is collected in a non-perforated insert which is slid underneath. LCD function display with digital clock The main functions navigated through the control knobs are always visible on the light LCD display. The additional functions of the touch keys only become visible when needed. The digital clock can be used as a timer independently of the function set for the appliance. The automatic cooking timer allows both the length of cooking and the actual time the oven switches itself off to be programmed up to 24 hours in advance. Liftmatic The lift function of the BL 253 Lift Oven makes loading and unloading nearly effortless. At the push of a button, the oven’s base can be moved to a desired position. The oven closes by the push of a button, offering finger protection in both directions. Hardly any energy loss occurs when opening the door – the heat stays inside. Electronic precision temperature control By precisely regulating the temperature, it is possible, for example, to roast large items at lower temperatures and to keep them warm for several hours without loss of quality. Roasts have never been so tender, pink and juicy. Function display with digital clock The display of the EB 300, EB 200 series, and ED 200 series clearly shows the time and all the functions. The digital clock can be used as a timer independently of the function set for the appliance. The automatic cooking timer allows both the length of cooking and the actual time the oven switches itself off to be programmed up to 24 hours in advance. Gaggenau Clean-Enamel Very little bakes fast onto this special, speckled blue enamelling. In most cases a simple sponge soaked in water with detergent suffices for cleaning after normal oven operation. The Clean-Enamel surface of the grill pan and baking inserts are also easy to clean. Glass ceramic base The movable BL 253 oven base features an easy to clean glass ceramic surface, where baking trays and roasting pans can be placed. Bread or pizza can be placed directly on the surface. Warming function can even be activated when open. Halogen light The halogen lighting allows plenty of light and a good view of the oven compartment. You can check baking and roasting at all phases. Heating element It plugs into the socket in the cavity of all Gaggenau ovens and also heats the baking stone and cast roaster for ovens. 29 Low-temperature cooking With this professional cooking mode, meat can be cooked slowly and gently over a prolonged cooking period. A large piece of roast beef, for example, comes out perfectly, uniformly tender and pink and with an unrivaled juiciness except for a thin edge and remains that way, even hours later, until it is ready to be served. The ED 220/230 makes this possible thanks to particularly precise temperature control. Low temperature steaming Steaming 100% steamsaturated air at low temperature ensures optimum heat transfer without drying out, and is ideal for cooking fish. Memory recipes This function saves all settings for a prepared dish so that they can be easily retrieved and reused at any time. Six dishes can be programmed, and for each dish, up to five different steps or settings can be saved – at the push of a button after every successful baking process. If the core temperature sensor is used, the respective core temperatures are saved instead of baking times. This ensures that the results are the same, even if the baked items differ in size. Misting Supply humidity to baking items. This is particularly useful for baking items such as baguettes from frozen dough, as well as for baking fresh bread, rolls and yeast items. Oven accessories See baking stone, roasting function, cast iron roaster, rotisserie spit, heating element. Proofing Low temperatures (below 120 °F) and humidity create the ideal climate for dough fermentation. Pyrolytic self-cleaning This program, which operates at 905 °F, removes any soiling of the oven’s interior unavoidably produced by cooking vapors during roasting and broiling. The duration of the program is set by the Gaggenau factory. During cleaning, the oven door is locked and, once the oven has cooled down, it simply needs wiping with a damp cloth. When the autopyrolysis function is in operation, the appliance automatically determines the level of soiling in the interior of the oven. The optimum cleaning time is selected automatically. Refreshing Pressureless steaming is the perfect method for regenerating previously prepared dishes without loss of quality. No comparison to any other regeneration. Roasting function The ovens of the 200 Series can, with an additional heating element, operate the cast iron roaster for ovens (see cast iron roaster). The same heating element is used to heat the baking stone (see baking stone). Concerning the roasting function of the ovens from the BO 200 Series, a matching cast iron roaster is in development. Rotisserie spit Even broiling on all sides – for poultry, boned joints or meat on the bone, such as leg of lamb. Meat gets crisp and browns evenly. For best results, choose broiling or top heat as operating mode. The rotisserie spit can be used for meat weighing up to 13.2 lbs. Sabbath mode This function can keep nonperishable dishes warm from 24 to 74 hours without operating the appliance. While using this function, the light in the cooking compartment is switched off. Safety lock It interrupts any heating of the oven after 12 hours if it is not in use and the Sabbath mode is not activated.
