400 series cooker extractor

Gaggenau launches the advanced Vario 400 series worktop extractor.
Visibly minimalist, maximum efficiency.

Gaggenau, the luxury brand for high-quality and professional built-in appliances, presents the exceptional 400 series worktop extractor: a quiet and unobtrusive appliance that effectively keeps the kitchen and the surrounding living space free of cooking odors and vapours. The appliance works perfectly in combination with all Vario 400 series hobs, making it possible to design a completely customized cooking space. Gaggenau pioneered worktop extraction in Europe in 1976 and has since perfected the design, adapting to the ever-changing culinary culture, including kitchens and living spaces that gradually transition into a unique space, made for relaxation.

The modular 400 series worktop extractor works perfectly with the Vario 400 series hobs, allowing the cooking surface to be tailored to the ideal culinary scenario with plenty of variety and endless combination options. The extraction is controlled using Gaggenau’s superior and professional front-mounted stainless steel control knobs which are in line with the control knobs on the other Vario 400 series hobs. The precise and intuitive control buttons with their ergonomic design ensure that the home chef always retains direct control over the device.

The worktop extractor is finished with stainless steel and can be mounted flush-mounted or surface-mounted. For seamless integration, the worktop extractor can be mounted with frameless induction hobs. Or with design-framed hobs such as electric grill, teppanyaki, gas hob, gas or induction wok that enable performance cooking with large cookware up to 32cm wide, giving the user limitless possibilities. The subtle and elegant addition to the cooking surface is essential in an open, modern kitchen and does not form a barrier between the home chef and his guests.

During use, the worktop extractor effectively extracts steam, odor and vapor directly at the source before they penetrate the room. The combination of the optimized design of the inner frame, double V-shaped filter, the high-performance fans and an increased width of up to 15 cm, provides an all-consuming and powerful extraction with a high vapor collection rate, even when used at low power.

The Vario worktop extractor can be set to an intuitive automatic function, with which it regulates the power itself during the cooking process. The intelligent, sensitive and hyper-reactive air quality sensor detects odors, reacts to vapor and quietly extracts them from the room, using the lowest possible energy level. The automatic function effortlessly and silently takes over air quality control, so the home chef can focus on creating exceptional dishes.

The double grease filter in the extractor ensures perfect collection of grease and particles, so that no residue is left behind in the housing. The housing of the device is made of anodized aluminum. The construction offers the smoothest possible surface for easy cleaning and offers unparalleled hygiene. The design of the grease filter cartridge ensures that it remains upright when placed on the worktop, giving the user minimal contact with grease and soiled surfaces. The double grease filter is easy to remove thanks to two ergonomic handles and a guided exit that prevents oil from spilling from the integrated grease reservoir. The grease filter is also dishwasher safe, so that the maintenance of the device takes as little time and effort as possible.

The Vario 400 series worktop extractor is equipped with Home Connect, so that the home cook has more freedom by operating his/her appliance online. The integration of Home Connect ensures that the appliance always remains central to the increasingly digital home.

Sven Baacke, Head of Design, Global Brand Gaggenau, says: “The Vario 400 series worktop extractor is proof of the Gaggenau difference. The modularity of the appliance makes it suitable for any kitchen scenario, as one can realize the ideal kitchen workspace. The kitchen is the space made for preparing dishes and for inspiring conversations – the advanced noise reduction and superior air extraction testify to this.”

The difference is Gaggenau.
