Experience the unprecedented ease that brings sheer cooking pleasure into the kitchen. Gaggenau introduces the 24-inch lift oven with the LiftMatic function for unique oven loading and unloading. With the simple push of a button, the lift oven’s glass ceramic base lowers directly from the oven to the countertop, where food dishes can be easily loaded and then raised into the cooking cavity. Since heat rises, the heat remains in the oven cavity, resulting in minimal energy loss during the lift operation. The lift oven’s functionality increases safety, as the need to reach into a hot oven to remove food has been eliminated.
This fully integrated oven features 11 heating methods, including convection. The oven also provides automatic temperature recommendation and precise electronic temperature control plus the highly effective pyrolytic self-cleaning program that burns off splashes and residues left behind by cooked food. The oven is encased in a sleek stainless steel-tinted glass front, illuminated by halogen lighting that provides a luminous view of the interior, displaying perfectly prepared food.
The innovative design of the lift oven with built-in placement in top cabinet locations or on a kitchen wall provides versatile options for smaller kitchens and opens up additional cabinet space in larger kitchens.

"Thermo-Test" actual temperature display
Precise temperature control and monitoring are especially important in the preparation of some dishes. The “Thermo-Test” feature allows you to check the
temperature in the cooking compartment at any time and if, for example, you turn it down, it enables you to see when the new required temperature has been reached. Not even commercial appliances have this feature, which is highly appreciated by discerning home chefs.

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.

Air cleaning catalyst
Gaggenau is the first manufacturer to produce a built-in air cleaning system for ovens. At all temperatures, the heated catalyst prevents grease and odor particles from
escaping when the oven door is closed. The catalytic converter is self-regenerating and has a virtually
unlimited service life.
