The Gaggenau Cooktops
The cook’s cooktop
The Gaggenau cooktop doesn’t just look the part, it is inspired by the Professional kitchen. The 400 series and 200 series both adhere to the Gaggenau principle of exceptional materials, designed with insight and assembled with skill by craftspeople. Both offer a modular ‘Vario’ option allowing you to create your own, bespoke workstation including specialist appliances enabling specific cooking techniques. The difference between the two series is, essentially, scale, aesthetic and control.
Essential induction
The Essential Induction is innovation in its purest form – a cooktop and worktop combined into one. Our renowned technology and superior performance distilled into nothing but a dot, a surface, a control knob. Its single surface with no barriers, frames, or gaps allows it to seamlessly integrate into any living space, offering a high-quality cooking experience and the utmost freedom to explore and experiment.
Full surface induction
Flush or surface mounted, framed or not, 80 or 90 cm: the full surface induction has no zones to adhere to. Place variable size and shape of 5 or 6 pans anywhere, scroll through the 17 power levels. Move the pan and the cooktop even remembers their power and timer settings. Use the intuitive, dial-free TFT display to control your compatible extractor or set the appliance to Professional or Dynamic cooking function and simply move the pans around the cooktop’s pre-set high, medium and low areas, just as the professionals do.

Flex induction
Combine the rectangular cooking areas to give more flexibility to your placement of pans. Activate the frying sensor function to control the actual temperature in the pans using the bicoloured display and a choice of stainless steel or black controls. Alternatively don’t use the controls, simply move pans around predefined heat areas with the Professional cooking function.

Gas
For the 400 series the power of the raw flame is electronically divided into 12 levels, for the 200 series there are 9 mechanical levels to choose from. For both, each power setting is reliably replicable, day after day. All offer flash frying and wok power alongside extremely gentle simmering. Should the flame blow out for any reason, it is automatically reignited; if this fails, the gas is switched off. Power, harnessed.
