Switching on the first time
When using the oven for the first time, operate it empty with the temperature knob set to maximum for at least
40 minutes, keeping the door completely open and airing the room.
The odour noticed during this operation is due to the evaporation of substances used to protect the oven during the
period between manufacture and installation. After this time, the oven will be ready to use.
Useful advice
For successful cooking, never place your dishes in the oven when it is cold; wait until it has reached the set temperature.
During cooking, never place pots or containers directly on the oven floor; place them above the grills or drip-trays
provided, on one of the five shelves available; failure to do so could damage the oven enamel.
Never cover the walls of the oven with aluminium foil, especially in the lower part of the cooking compartment.
Any repairs must be carried out by specialised, licensed personnel.
Contact our nearest service centre and demand only original spare parts.
Your Franke oven uses a special enamel which is easy to keep clean, however it is advisable to clean it frequently to avoid
baking on grime and previous cooking residuals.
Any self-cleaning panels (if provided) can be cleaned with soap and water (see cleaning instructions).
NB: Before switching the oven on, read the timer instructions (see page 14).
– If the oven has an automatic cooking or switching off programmer, select the "manual" option indicated by the
symbol to use the oven in manual mode.
Operation
This oven combines the advantages of "static" natural convection ovens with those of modern "fan" ovens. It is a very
versatile appliance enabling safe and easy selection of 6 different cooking methods. Use knobs (A) and (D) on the control
panel to select the required programmes and temperature. For best use of your Franke oven, consult the cooking table
onpage 16.
Cooling fan
In order to reduce the temperature at the door, control panel and sides, the Franke oven has a cooling fan which is
automatically activated when the oven is hot. When the fan is on, air blows from the front of the oven between the front
panel and oven door; special attention has paid to ensure that the exiting air does not disturb the kitchen environment
and that noise is kept to a minimum.
To protect kitchen units, the fan keeps running after cooking until the oven has cooled down sufficiently.
Oven light
This symbol corresponds to switching on of the oven light without activation of any type of heating.
This option is useful for cleaning the oven when it is switched off, to see the cooking compartment.
Natural convection cooking
Set the thermostat knob (D) between 50 °C and Max. (260 °C).
The heat source is from above (roof heating element) and below (floor heating element). This is the
conventional cooking function which ensures even cooking using a single shelf.
Fan cooking
Set the thermostat knob (D) between 50 °C and Max. (260 °C).
The top (roof) heating element, bottom (floor) heating element and fan inside the oven are activated.
The constant and uniform heat cooks and browns the food evenly. Various dishes can be cooked at the same
time, using a maximum of 2 shelves.
Bottom fan-assisted cooking
Set the thermostat knob (D) between 50 °C and Max. (260 °C).
The bottom (floor) heating element and fan are activated. Ideal for cooking fish and frozen and precooked
products in general. Its use with patisserie products is very effective.
