Use
This oven combines the advantages of traditional “static” natural convection ovens with those of modern “fan ovens”. It is an extremely versatile appliance which allows for easy and safe selection of 5 different cooking methods. Use knobs (B) and (F) on the control panel to select the program and temperature. For best results from your Franke oven, consult the cooking table pag. 19.
Cooling fan
In order to reduce the temperature at the front of the oven, the control panel and side panels, Franke ovens are equipped with a cooling fan which automatically turns on when the oven is hot. When the fan is running, you will notice hot air blowing from the front of the oven between the front panel and the oven door; Franke has made sure that the air jet does not disturb the kitchen environment and that noise is kept to a minimum.
To protect the surrounding kitchen units, the fan keeps running after cooking until the oven has cooled down.
Cooking programmes
Top Element only
Select termostat tempereture from between 50°C to 250 °C for keeping cooked food warm or gently reheating.
Bottom Element only
Select the desired tempereture between 50°C to 250 °C. Suitable for very slow cooking and warming up of food.
Natural static cooking
Set the thermostat knob (F) to between 50°C and Max (250°C).
The heat source is both above the food (roof heating element) and below it (floor heating element). This is the traditional cooking method which results in uniform cooking on a single shelf.
Fan cooking
Set the thermostat knob (F) to between 50°C and Max (250°C).
This turns on the top (roof) element, the bottom (floor) element and the fan.
The resulting constant, even heat cooks and browns the food uniformly. With this mode, you can also cook various dishes at the same time, on up to a maximum of 2 different rack heights.
Grill
The thermostat knob (F) should normally be set to Max (250°C), although a lower temperature can be set, in which case grilling will be slower.
The grill heating element at the top 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 handling the food; Franke has designed the opening of the oven compartment in such a way as to protect your hands.
Fan grill cooking
The thermostat knob (F) should normally be set to Max (250°C), although a lower temperature can be set, in which case grilling will be slower.
The grill heating element at the top 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 vegetable kebabs, sausages, pork ribs and lamb chops, devilled chicken, quail with sage, pork fillets, etc...
