Grease filter satuaration indication

When the

grease filler is due for cleaning, a light on the

control panel blinks, acting as a reminder. This

keeps the filters from becoming too soiled,

which can increase the noise level and decrease

the effectiveness of the hood.

Intensive mode

Three power settings and an

additional intensive mode can be activated via

individual control buttons or knobs. Depending

on the model, the intensive mode automatically

switches back to the previously selected setting

after three, five or ten minutes of operation.

Interval ventilation

When this is activated, the

hood automatically switches to the previously

selected output level for five minutes every

hour. As a result, fresh air can be fed into the

room in the event of prolonged absence.

Remote blower

Downdraft ventilation units

operate with a separate remote blower. Depend-

ing on their design, the remote blower can be

built into kitchen furniture, or installed in another

room (in a pantry, cellar or loft) or outside (in a

wall or roof). All the functions are controlled via

a connection cable.

Sealing flaps

In the 400 Pro Series cooktop

ventilation, the suction opening is covered when

not in use. When the ventilation is switched off,

the flaps remain open for a few seconds while

the fan is shutting down.

Soft-Light

The Soft-Light illumination of the

cooking zones automatically goes on and off

gradually, and can be dimmed manually from

bright illumination of the cooking zones to

atmospheric background lighting.

Stainless steel grease filter

With Gaggenau

ventilation hoods, the air which is saturated with

grease and odor particles first passes through a

grease filter. This prevents the inside of the

hood and the exhaust air ducts from deposits.

The stainless steel filter can be easily removed

and cleaned in the dishwasher.

Coanda effect

An additional fan on the front of

the ventilation hood generates a stream of air

that is directed towards the rear over a cylinder.

This effect, known from aerodynamics, causes

any cooking fumes in front of the hood to be

more effectively conducted into the filter area.

The Gaggenau AH 600 ventilation hood, for

example, is as effective at level 3 as many other

appliances are in intensive mode.

Delayed shut-off

This function allows you to set

the ventilation to run on for an additional ten

minutes after use on any setting, before automati-

cally switching itself off.

Downdraft

A very interesting and effective alter-

native to classic ventilation hoods. The down-

draft is integrated directly into the countertop

and extracts cooking vapors where they occur.

Even the steam from taller pots is effectively

removed if the lid is left open slightly to the side

towards the ventilation. If you want clean lines

and unrestricted headroom in your kitchen, it is

definitely the most unobtrusive option. The

design of Gaggenau downdraft ventilation units

matches the appliances from the Vario 200

and 400 Pro Series. They are available with or

without automatic arm positioning and flaps.

All downdraft ventilation units operate with sepa-

rate remote blower for air extraction.

Extendable swivel arm

In the grilling position,

the direct ventilation system VL 051 automatically

moves to a height of 15

”, and in the cooking

position to a maximum height of 15

”. At its

highest setting, the extendable arm can also be

turned 90 degrees in both directions. The arm

can be moved to any height between these two

positions using the control knob. Once the

appliance is switched off it automatically returns

to the central position and retracts into the

worktop. A sensor prevents objects from being

caught in the arm when it is returning to this

position.
