Dishwashers
Their dishwashers are frugal performers, designed to save water, energy and your time. Essential to the way things work in the kitchen today. A dishwasher from Gaggenau is also particularly good-looking, supremely efficient, and genuinely easy to operate. An intelligent machine, quiet, adaptable, with sensitive controls - and so flexible in its internal layout.
Gaggenau dishwashers set technical and environmental standards and fit invisibly into the kitchen cabinet. Sensors determine the ideal program, heat is re-used to save energy, and the soiling level of the water is continuously checked. Their quiet masterpiece. See (and hear) for yourself.

Features
Automatic Programming Selection with Five Special Functions
- In addition to automatic program selection, five special functions are available.
- Auto-mild wash for glass and china.
- Auto-plus wash for highly soiled dishes.
- All functions can be selected easily by means of the interactive trilingual display on the top edge of the inside door.
Power Boost
- The three main cycles can be shortened when even heavily soiled items are needed again in a hurry.
- Using the combination of "Enviro care" and the power boost function ensures optimum results (washing and drying efficiency class A) in just 59 minutes.
- The "Auto" and "Auto Super Wash Cycles" programs run up to 30% faster.
Aqua-Sensor II
- In programs that include a cold pre-wash, an infrared sensor checks the clarity of the water after the pre-wash.
- The otherwise usual replacement of the water is omitted if it discovers that the water can still be used for the subsequent main wash cycle.
- This technology makes it possible for up to four liters of water to be saved per program with normal soiling.
- In fully automated dishwashers, a second sensor is used, which not only detects the clarity of the water, but also small dirt particles such as tea residue in the rinsing water.
- This allows even more efficient use of fresh water, without impairing rinsing.
Heat Exchanger
- This innovative technology makes use of residual heat in the wash cycle water in an intelligent way.
- The fresh cold water is collected in a side-mounted reservoir in the dishwasher, ready for use in the next wash cycle, while being pre-heated by the hot water of the current cycle.
- No more electricity is needed for the drying cycle, and this cuts energy consumption by about 15%.
- Also, keeping the temperature even protects decorative trims and glassware.
Power Light
- By projecting a red dot onto the floor in front of fully integrated dishwashers, this feature provides an external visual indication that the program is coming to an end.
- The light goes out when the program is completed.
Rackmatic
- The height of the upper basket is simple to adjust.
- For example to accommodate large items.
- The upper cutlery basket pulls out an additional 2 inches, giving better access for loading and unloading the rear area of the shelf.
Quick Wash
- With this program, lightly soiled items are ready to use again after half an hour.
Duo Cutlery Basket
- The dividable cutlery basket can be placed in the most convenient position to suit the load.
- For example to allow space for different shaped crockery, pans, etc.
Glass Care Technology
- This new technology avoids damaging fine glassware in several ways.
- The heat exchanger prevents extreme fluctuation in water temperature.
- The surface of your glassware is also protected because the hardness of the water, which is also normally subject to fluctuation, is controlled during the washing process.
- Both the glassware and soaking programs described above are extremely gentle washing methods.
Baking Tray Spray Head
- The top basket can be removed from the appliance to make space for large articles such as baking trays, metal filters and vases.
- The spray head, which is supplied as standard in all models, ensures that the jets of water are evenly distributed.
Contiuous Flow Heater
- Water is heated by an externally positioned heating element, leaving more room inside the washing compartment.
Automatic 3-in-1 Detergent Function
- The dishwasher's controls automatically recognize when 3-in-1 detergent tablets are used instead of individual detergents.
- The program sequence adapts itself to suit whatever concentration of individual detergents is present.
- So the same cleaning and drying results are achieved.
Rinse Agent Adjustment
- Detergent is dispensed to suit the program selected, saving detergent and protecting the environment.
Time Remaining Display
- Shows the remaining number of minutes in a program.
- The remaining time is recalculated and updated repeatedly during a program.
- In the fully integrated 24" wide models the end of a program is indicated by a humming sound.
Automatic Timer
- The electronic timer enables you to specify when to start the wash program up to 24 hours in advance.
Easy Fill Detergent Compartment
- To add detergent or rinsing agent, you only need to open the dishwasher door slightly - no more tiresome bending.
Aqua Stop
- With none of their dishwashers is it necessary to turn taps on and off, as an inlet valve opens automatically when the appliance requires water.
- A multiple system of protective devices that is kept separate from the main water supply prevents water damage.
Silver Cutlery Cassette (Optional)
- This aluminum cartridge protects silverware from corrosion.
Glass Basket (Optional)
- This special glassware basket is designed to hold and protect long-stemmed wine and champagne glasses.
