The cook’s cooktop
The Gaggenau cooktop doesn’t just look the part, its performance 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 appliances tailored for specific cooking techniques. The differences between the two series are, essentially, scale, aesthetic and control.
Vario cooktops
Tailor your cooking area into your ideal culinary environment by seamlessly joining together our modular options and ventilation appliances. Create your perfect cooktop area, choosing from Teppan Yaki, induction, gas, grill and downdraft.
The Vario 400 series is controlled by the illuminated knobs mounted on the cabinet fascia or countertop, while the Vario 200 series cooktops offer a cohesive design in black, with illuminated control dials.
Full surface induction
Flush or surface mounted, 30” or 36”; the full surface induction has no zones to adhere to. Place up to six pans anywhere on the surface, utilizing 17 power levels. Move the pan, and the cooktop even remembers the power and timer settings. Use the intuitive, dial-free TFT display to 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.
Gas cooktops
For the 400 series, the power of the raw flame is electronically divided into 12 levels, while the 200 series boasts 9 mechanical levels to choose from. For both, each power setting is exactly 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.
