Cleaning and oven care
Important
Before embarking upon any cleaning and care operations on your oven, you must disconnect it from the
electricity supply by unplugging it from the mains or cutting off the power supply on the main switch.
The stainless steel and enamelled parts will remain as good as new as long as you clean them with soapy
water or with special, purpose-designed products. Make sure you dry them thoroughly afterwards.
Avoid using products containing chlorine or diluted chlorine solutions, caustic soda, abrasive detergents,
muriatic acid, vinegar, bleach or other products which could scratch or mar the surfaces.
Any stains that may appear on the bottom of the oven, of a variety of compositions (sauces, sugar,
albumin and grease spots) always originate from splashes or overflowed food. These splashes occur
during cooking and are due to the use of an excessively high temperature, whereas the overflowed food
is due to the use of cookware which is too small or to an erroneous evaluation of the increase in volume
of the dish during cooking. These two inconveniences can be averted by using deep cookware or using
the oven tray provided. As for cleaning the lower part of the oven, we recommend you remove any stains
when the oven is still lukewarm, as the longer you wait to clean the oven, the tougher the stains are to
remove.
Cleaning the oven door
Clean both the inside and the outside of the oven door when the oven has cooled down completely,
using hot water and avoiding the use of rough cloths.
For the enamelled parts, as well as the interior of the oven, use hot water and non abrasive detergents.
Oven lamp replacement
Franke ovens are fitted with two different interior lighting systems:
1. A circular lamp is situated to the top left-hand side of the rear of the oven interior.
2. A rectangular lamp is fitted on either side.
Should one of the oven lamps need replacing, proceed as follows:
- In every case, and for either lamp type, you should disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply at
the omnipolar switch used to connect the oven to the mains, or by unplugging it, if possible;
Rear circular lamp:
- Unscrew the protective glass cover (A)
- Remove the lamp and replace it with one which is resistant to high temperatures (300°C) with the following
characteristics:

Wattage: 15W
Socket: (E14) mignon
- Reposition the protective glass cover (A) and reconnect the appliance to the electricity supply.
