Top oven programme selector knob
BFor selecting the oven mode according to the type of cooking required. When the knob is set to any programme, the
oven light comes on indicating that the oven is switched on. The set temperature only refers to the static operation
mode.
C Bottom oven programme selector knob
For selecting the oven mode according to the type of cooking requ ired. When the knob is set to any programme, the
oven light comes on indicating that the oven is switched on.
DProgrammerOn page you can find the instructions relevant to its use.
EThermostat light
Shown by the symbol C it signals that the oven electrical heating elements are activated. It goes off when the set
temperature has been reached, and comes on again whenever oven heating is switched on again. It is for useful
checking if the temperature has been reached, before introducing the food.
FBottom oven temperature control knob
(Thermostat)
Used to set the temperature required for the type of food being cooked, keeping it constant during cooking. To select the
required temperature, turn the knob clockwise, bringing the pointer to the corresponding number. Max. temperature is
approx. 260°C.
GTop oven power adjustment
Used to set the temperature required for the type of food being cooked, keeping it constant during cooking. To select the
required temperature,turn the knob clockwise, bringing the pointer to the corresponding number. Max. temperature is
approx. 260°C.
HGrill and drip-tray runners
Used for correctly positioning the grills and drip-trays in 3 set positions (top oven) or 5 set positions (bottom oven) (from
1 to 3 or 5 starting from the bottom); the cooking table (page 9) indicates which position gives best results for each type
of cooking.
I Drip-tray
Normally used for collecting juices from grilled food or for cooking food directly; the drip-tray must be removed from the
oven if not used. The drip-trays are made from “AA” type enamelled steel for food use.

4
LGrill Used for supporting pans, pastry moulds, and any containers other than the drip-trays provided, or for cooking mainly wiwith the meat and
fish grill and grill + fan functions, toasting bread, etc.
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.
Bottom oven cooking programmes
Defrosting
Set the knob to the symbol () to obtain the defrost function.
In this case, the fan inside the oven circulates air around the food, speeding up the natural
thawing process.
Natural static cooking
Set the thermostat knob (F) between 50°C and Max. (260°C).
The heat source is above the food (roof heating element) and below it (floor heating element). This is the traditional cooking
function which ensures even cooking using a single rack.
Assisted cooking
Set the thermostat knob (E) between 50°C and Max. (260°C).
This turns on the top (roof) heating element, the bottom (floor) heating element and the fan inside the oven; compared with the
previous function (static cooking) the fan distributes the heat more evenly, so that two racks can be used at the same time.
Cooking + fan
Set the thermostat knob (F) between 50°C and Max. (260°C).
This turns on the top (roof) heating element, the bottom (floor) heating element and the fan inside the oven.
The constant and even heat cooks and browns the food evenly. Various dishes can be cooked at the same time, using a
maximum of 2 racks.
"Multi power" cooking + fan
Set the thermostat knob (E) between 50°C and Max. (260°C).
This turns on the circular heating element together with partial activation of the top (roof) and bottom (floor) heating elements and
the fan. Compared with the previous function, it is a more powerful and faster way to reach the required temperature; this, in
combination with an even temperature distribution, makes it ideal for meat and fish roasts and for baked pasta, using up to three
racks.
Pizza "quick cooking"
Set the thermostat knob (E) between 50°C and Max. (260°C).This turns on the circular heating element together with top (roof)
and bottom (floor) heating elements and fan. This is the most powerful function available on your Franke oven, and the heat

5
istribution is designed to be more intense towards the bottom; this makes it ideal for preparing pizzas or fast cooking of frozen foods in general. It
can be used for quickly bringing the oven to the required temperature, and then setting any of the other available programmes.
"Roof + fan" cooking
Set the thermostat knob (E) between 50°C and Max. (260°C).
The top (roof) heating element and the fan are activated. The low power of this function and the fan allow very gentle and even cooking. Ideal for
dry pastry and certain types of baked pasta.
Grill
The thermostat knob (F) should normally be set to Max. (260°C), however a lower temperature can be set, in
which case grilling will be slower.
The grill heating element at the top of the oven switches on. In this case the fast infrared surface cooking keeps
the meat tender on the inside; the grill can also be used for quickly toasting up to 9 slices of bread. The Franke
oven is designed to grill food with the oven door completely closed.
Warning: The grill heating element becomes very hot during use; take care not to touch it accidentally when
handling the food to be grilled; in any case, Franke has designed the oven opening to protect hands as much as
possible.
Grill + fan cooking
The thermostat knob (F) should normally be set to Max. (260°C), however a lower temperature can be set, in
which case grilling will be slower.
The grill heating element at the top of the oven and the fan are activated. It combines oneway heat radiation with
forced air circulation inside the oven. This prevents burning the surface of the food and increases penetration of
the heat. Excellent results are obtained using the grill + fan for mixed meat and vegetable kebabs, sausages,
spare-ribs and lamb chops, broiled chicken, quail with sage, pork fillets, etc.

Top oven cooking programmes
Natural static cooking
Set the power knob (G) between Min. and Max. (260°C).
The heat source is above the food (roof heating element) and below it (floor heating element). This is the traditional cooking
function which ensures even cooking using a single rack.
Light grill cooking
To activate this function, set the power with the knob (G). It is used for browning by lightly grilling or warming already cooked
food.
Full grill cooking
The power knob (G) should normally be set to Max. (260°C), however a lower temperature can be set, in which case grilling will
be slower.
The grill heating element at the top of the oven switches on. In this case the fast infrared surface cooking keeps the meat tender
on the inside; the grill can also be used for quickly toasting up to 9 slices of bread. The Franke oven is designed to grill food with
the oven door completely closed.
Warning: The grill heating element becomes very hot during use; take care not to touch it accidentally when handling the food to
be grilled; in any case, Franke has designed the oven opening to protect hands as much as possible.

Fit the appliance in the compartment; fix the oven to the cabinet with the 4 screws provided, using the holes prepared in the side panels.
Cabinet requirements
For built-in units, the components (plastic materials and veneered wood) must be assembled with heat-resistant adhesives (max.100°C):
unsuitable materials and adhesives can result in warpingand ungluing. The cabinet must allow sufficient room for the electrical connections. The
cabinet in which the oven in fitted must be strong enough to take the weight of the equipment.
The oven must be securely installed in the recess. The oven can be installed in a column cabinet, provided sufficient ventilation is guaranteed.

Replacing the oven lamps Franke ovens are equipped with a rectangular side lamps and 2 circular rear lamps.
Replace the oven lamp as follows:
- switch off the power to the appliance at the omnipolar switch used for connecting it to
the electrical system, or disconnect the plug, if accessible;
Rear ring lamp:
- Unscrew the glass cover (A)
- unscrew the lamp and replace with one resistant to high temperatures (300°C), having
the following characteristics:

Power: 15W
Fitting: (E14) small
Side lamp
- remove the glass cover (B), prising it off with a flat screwdriver,
