Inspired by sweeping and grand architectural statements, the Vario cooling 400 series has been designed for those with an eye on the aesthetically bold or advanced. Combining design modularity with smooth, seamless integration, these sculpted appliances redefine the landscape of the functional kitchen.

When combined, this series forms an imposing cooling wall that integrates into the overall kitchen structure. An expanse of handleless doors with individual fronts and stainless steel or glass doors for wine climate cabinets can serve as a statement in any kitchen.

With inspiration taken from the oak barrels used to age wine, the Vario 400 wine climate cabinets see up to three independently controlled climate zones paired with telescopic rails, allowing the oak and dark anthracite aluminium bottle trays to fully extend for gentle handling after being perfectly temperate for ideal appreciation.

400 series ovens

The bold lines of solid stainless steel and glass of the 400 series ovens stand proud of their background; unmistakably Gaggenau. Again seamlessly free of any handles, doors are opened by a simple touch of the display. This is an oven that confidently sets the tone of the kitchen.

The cooktops too, feature the same perfection in modern design and function. The CX482 full surface induction cooktop is 80cm of unlimited creative space for the home chef. The enormous space serves as a blank canvas upon which the inspired cook is given free reign to create a culinary masterpiece. The TFT touch display control panel will be familiar to anyone with a smartphone as it offers scrolling power level regulation alongside the usual timing information and available cooking functions.
