1.3 About use

The appliance is intended solely for use in the household and must not be put to any other uses.

Use the appliance to prepare meals only. It must not be used to heat up the room in which it is installed.

Keep ventilation openings open (doors, extractor hoods and windows).

Do not store any combustible items inside the appliance. During operation, only ever leave the items you need inside the appliance.

Only ever use deep frying inserts (deep frying baskets) that are intended for the purpose.

The (heating) symbol in the control panel goes off as soon as the set temperature has been reached.

Return the “Temperature" knob to “0" after deep frying.

The appliance must not be operated empty (i.e. without oil or fat; do not use water!). If the appliance is operated empty, it will switch off

automatically and the (limiter) symbol will appear in the display. If this is the case, turn the “Temperature" knob to the 0 position. Wait until the (limiter) symbol goes off again.

Note: If the (limiter) symbol appears in the display, there may be many reasons for this (see Structure and operating principle).

Top up oil or fat as soon as it is below the minimum level (bottom marking). Caution: there is a risk of fires if the filling should drop below the bottom marking!

Observe caution with oils and fats. They may overheat and burn easily.

Old/soiled fat must be replaced if it becomes brown, has an unpleasant smell and/or smokes prematurely. Fire risk!

If a fire should break out, remove the mains plug and place the lid on the deep fryer. Never extinguish with water!

Switch off the extractor hood immediately because the draught will otherwise intensify the fire!

The deep frying oil/fat will foam over if foodstuffs that are too wet or if excessive quantities are inserted. Risk of burns!

In the event of malfunctions, first of all check the household fuses. If the problem has nothing to do with the power supply, please contact your specialist dealer or your local Gaggenau after-sales service.

Built-in temperature protection prevents overheating of the appliance and of build-in furniture.

Clean the appliance at regular intervals and also replace the deep frying oil or fat at regular intervals because soiling causes the deep frying oil or fat to become more easily ignitable.

Do not use the lid during deep frying. The lid must only be placed over the deep fryer after it has cooled down fully.

Caution: never use the glass cover of the steam cooker for the deep fryer.

VF 230 specifications

The Gaggenau VF 230 is a premium wine cabinet that represents the pinnacle of wine storage technology, designed for connoisseurs and collectors alike. This meticulously engineered appliance not only showcases a refined aesthetic but also incorporates advanced features that ensure optimal conditions for wine preservation.

One of the standout characteristics of the Gaggenau VF 230 is its temperature control capabilities. It operates with a dual-zone system, allowing users to maintain two separate environments within the same cabinet, essential for storing different types of wine. The upper zone can be set between 5°C and 20°C, ideal for whites and sparkling wines, while the lower zone accommodates reds, maintaining a consistent temperature range of 10°C to 20°C. This flexibility is vital for ensuring that each wine is served at its ideal drinking temperature.

In addition to temperature regulation, the VF 230 incorporates a state-of-the-art humidity control system. This feature is critical for preserving cork integrity, as excessive dryness can cause corks to shrink, leading to oxidation and spoilage. The humidity level within the cabinet is carefully monitored and maintained between 50% and 80%, creating a stable environment that protects the wine from undesirable fluctuations.

The design of the VF 230 emphasizes both functionality and elegance. Its exterior is crafted from high-quality stainless steel, while the interior features natural beech wood shelves that gently cradle each bottle, minimizing vibrations that can disturb sediment. The shelves are adjustable, providing versatility for varying bottle sizes, and the soft-close mechanism ensures a smooth, silent operation, enhancing user experience.

Lighting is another key feature of the Gaggenau VF 230. It utilizes an LED lighting system that illuminates the interior without emitting heat, which can negatively affect the wines. The lighting can be adjusted to showcase the collection beautifully while preserving the integrity of the wine.

Furthermore, the VF 230 is equipped with advanced filtering systems to keep the air inside the cabinet free of impurities and odors. This is critical for ensuring that the wine does not absorb unwanted scents, which could compromise its flavor.

In summary, the Gaggenau VF 230 wine cabinet combines cutting-edge technology with luxurious design, offering wine lovers an exceptional solution for preserving their prized collections. With its dual-zone temperature control, humidity management, elegant shelving, adjustable LED lighting, and air filtration, the VF 230 is the ultimate choice for those who appreciate wine at its finest.
