Manual oven operation
Turn the knob A to instantly access the Self Cooking Modes. Each mode is associated with a recommended temperature,
modifiable as required by turning the right knob.
Once a Cooking Mode is selected, the oven starts to heat up: the display shows the time from the start of cooking.
To reset this time and restart it (e.g. from when food is placed in the oven), press the knob C, then select
and confirm “Reset incremental timer”.
The display shows the description of the activated function, which will alternate with the message “ PREHEATING ” until
the set temperature is reached.
When the set temperature is reached, the oven emits a triple sound twice and the display only shows the description of
the activated function. The thermometer symbol ( ) will indicate that the “mercury column” has reached the
maximum level: this is always an indicator of the instantaneous inside temperature (even with the set temperature
reached, a temporary fluctuation with the second-last level of the “mercury column” is considered a normal oven self-
regulating process).
The preset temperature can be changed at any time with the knob C, going from a minimum of 50 °C (except for the
defrost, conventional grill and turbo grill functions - see section “Cooking mode”) to a maximum of 270 °C (except for
the defrost, soft cooking (230 °C), conventional grill and turbo grill functions) in steps of 5 °C.
Instantaneous temperature reading: press and hold knob C (for approx. 5 seconds) to display the instantaneous
oven temperature reading.
Child safety lock: press and hold knob C for even longer (approx. 10 seconds) to activate the child safety lock function
(a small key appears on the display to indicate its activation). This will effectively disable knob operation. To deactivate
this function, press and hold knob C again, for approx. 10 seconds.
Cooking mode
Soft Cooking (Defrost - Quick defrost - Plate warmer)
The circular and top (roof) heating elements are partially activated. The low power and the fan allow very gentle and
even cooking. Ideal for dry pastry and all types of prolonged low-temperature cooking.
The temperature is preset to 100 °C for “wellness” cooking and provides for preheating of the oven before placing food
in it.
With this oven, Franke further develops this cooking programme, allowing the air to be heated gradually in a controlled
way and at low power, by means of the knob C. This offers new possibilities for treating the food:
Defrost The temperature is only 25-30 °C with the inside fan on.
Quick Defrost The conditions for quick thawing of food are obtained between 35 and 55 °C with the fan on.
Plate warmer Increasing the temperature to between 60 and 80 °C allows the warming of cooked but cold food
or food which must be kept hot without affecting the cooking.
Natural conventional cooking
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.
The temperature is preset to 180 °C and provides for preheating of the oven before placing food in it.
Fan cooking
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.
“Master Cooking”
The circular, bottom (floor) and top (roof) heating elements are partially activated. The even temperature distribution,
in combination with forced air circulation, makes this function ideal for baking all types of pizzas.
Hot air
The circular heating element is switched on and the fan starts. The constant and even heat cooks and browns the food
evenly. Different foods can also be cooked the same time, provided their cooking temperatures are similar. This is the
gentlest type of fan cooking available with this Franke oven, and is ideal for preparing cakes and pastries, enabling three
shelves to be used at the same time.
The temperature is preset to 150 °C and provides for preheating of the oven before placing food in it.
