Welcome to the Gaggenau global press lounge

Munich, December 2016: The flex induction cooktops offer unprecedented precision, fast and flexible cooking paired with low energy consumption. Now, also with an efficient integrated ventilation system, the cooktops remove the distraction of having to monitor the air quality. Offering the private chef a huge array of cooking experiences in one appliance, the flex induction cooktops with integrated ventilation system will be available from January 2017.

Professional cooking requires perfect frying results and precision cooking. The flex induction cooktops achieve both. They now also have an integrated ventilation system that can be set to automatically vent the air whenever in use. Available in air recirculation or air extraction mode, they can determine their own power level based on the vapour detected in the atmosphere and can continue when no longer being used.

Low noise, high efficiency
Energy efficient, powerful motors work in tandem with airflow ducting to ensure minimal volume of both noise and space, but maximum effectiveness: 85 percent of odours are removed during air recirculation thanks to the activated charcoal filters. All of which enables the private chef to concentrate of creating cuisine, not clearing the air.

Professional cooking experience
The flex function in the cooktops combines individual cooking areas so that large items of cookware can be used flexibly. The professional cooking function is ideal for frying, simmering or making sauces. It divides the cooktop into three pre-set heat areas so cookware can be easily moved for a swift transition from boiling to simmering. These heat areas can also be individually defined – as in professional kitchens.

Feature-rich versatility
All this flexibility does not dilute the strength. The booster function of these cooktops will temporarily raise the power from 2200 W to 3700 W for truly searing heat. There is a keep warm function, a cooking sensor function that displays temperature rather than power levels and a frying sensor that maintains an even heat, reducing the chance of burning.

Simple and intuitive to use
The Twist-Pad control with removable magnetic knob facilitates instant and clear communication as well as better control. The magnetic knob, also available in black as a special accessory, can even be lifted off, for ease of cleaning or for child safety.

The perfect solution for any kitchen design
The 80 cm cooktops can be offered with or without stainless steel frames for flush- or surface-mounted. Simple to install, they are a highly efficient solution in every kitchen plan. The flex induction cooktops with integrated ventilation system will be available to purchase from Gaggenau partners from January 2017. For more information, visit www.gaggenau.com.
