Oven ceiling fan cooking
Set the thermostat knob (E) to between 50°C and Max (260°C).
The top (roof) heating element and the fan turn on. The low power of this function combined with the use of
the fan results in very delicate, uniform cooking. It is ideal for dry pastry cooking and certain types of baked
pasta.
Grill mode
The thermostat knob (E) should normally be set to Max (260°C), although a lower temperature can be
set, in which case grilling will be slower.
The grill heating element at the tip of the oven turns on. In this case the fast surface cooking due to infrared
radiation keeps the interior of the meat tender; the grill can also be used quickly toasting up to 9 slices of
bread. Franke ovens, for safety reasons, are intended to grill food with the oven door completely closed.
Warning: the grill heating element is very hot when in use; take care not to touch it accidentally when han-
dling the food; Franke has designed the opening of the oven compartment in such a way as to protect your
hands as much as possible.
Ventilated grill mode
The thermostat knob (E) should normally be set to Max (260°C), although a lower temperature can be
set, in which case grilling will be slower.
The grill heating element at the tip of the oven turns on, as well as the fan. This combines unidirectional
heating with fan driven distribution of the air throughout the oven. It thus prevents burning the surface of the
food and increases penetration of the heat. This function gives excellent results for mixed meat and vegeta-
ble kebabs, sausages, pork ribs and lamb chops, devilled chicken, quail with sage, pork fillets, etc.
AUTOMATIC PYROLITIC CLEANING
Function n° 10, self-cleaning with PYROLISIS, makes cleaning the oven easy and quick whenever necessary.
The temperature achieved in the cooking compartment, 500°C, carbonises all food and fat residue. During
the process, some particles of residue may light up; this is a normal phenomenon due to instantaneous
combustion.
Before cleaning
1- Do not leave anything inside the oven; remove all accessories such as drip trays, grilles, side and tel-
escopic guides, etc. Not doing so would not only stop the heat reaching all the walls, but might also result in
them being damaged at such a high temperature.
2- Use a damp sponge to remove all larger residues; do not use detergents or any other cleaning products
for this.
3- Do not impede free circulation of the air in the area in front of the oven.
Above all, make sure nothing is left hanging on the door handles.
Caution: during pyrolitic cleaning, the surfaces may become extremely hot. Keep children away from the
oven for the duration of the process.
Starting automatic pyrolitic cleaning
Close the oven door.
Set the selector knob to PYROLISIS.
The display will show
the time remaining for the heating process, which lasts for 90min-
utes.
To increase the effectiveness of the cleaning process, do not open the door once pyrolitic cleaning has
started.
Once 300°C has been reached, the door locks for safety reasons.
The display shows not only the time remaining for the heating process, but also displays a letter
to
indicate that the oven is running the pyrolitic cleaning process itself and that the door safety lock is active.
The cooling fan will also start running at a higher than normal speed.
From this moment, the only action the user can take is to switch off the automatic cleaning process by
turning the selector knob to 0. Selecting any other function will also interrupt the pyrolitic cleaning func-
tion. In this case, the residues will not be fully carbonised and cleaning may not be satisfactory. The display
will show only the letter
until the oven has cooled down.
The temperature selector knob is ineffective during the process, and the indicator lights have no meaning.
