Grilling
Activating the Grill heating element at the top of the oven, these cooking programmes work using infrared radiance;
therefore it is not the temperature that is important but the amount of radiance, which depends on the set power level.
It is possible to select from 4 power levels: 20%, 40%, 60% (default) and 80% max. grill power.
It is best to put the food in the oven when the oven is cold, immediately exploiting the incandescence of the grill heating element.
This quick surface cooking keeps the meat tender on the inside; it is also possible to quickly toast up to 9 slices of bread.
If the grill is used for a prolonged period the oven automatically limits the maximum temperature, in which case the grill
reduces its effectiveness.
The Franke oven is designed to grill food with the oven door completely closed.
Important: Franke has designed the oven opening to protect hands as much as possible. However, the grill heating
element is still very hot when in use; be careful not to touch it accidentally when handling food to be grilled.
The preset power level is 60% max. power and does not provide for oven preheating.
Turbo grill cooking
The grill heating element at the top of the oven and the fan are activated. It combines one-way 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 turbo grill for mixed meat and vegetable kebabs, sausages, spare-ribs and
lamb chops, broiled chicken, quail with sage, pork fillets, etc.
The preset power level is 60% max. power and does not provide for oven preheating.
Oven light (all models except CR 981 P M, CS 981 P M and SM 981 P M)
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.
Pyrolytic automatic cleaning (CR 981 P M, CS 981 P M and SM 981 P M only)
The PYROLYTIC self-cleaning function turns oven cleaning into a quick, easy and instant procedure. The temperature
reached in the cooking compartment, 480°C, carbonises all food and fat residue. During this process, some particles of
residue may glow; this is a normal phenomenon due to instantaneous combustion.
The activation of this function by means of knob A ensures that, from that point at which a temperature of 330 °C is
reached and (after reaching the maximum temperature) until the oven temperature drops under 180°, the oven door is
locked and cannot therefore be opened. This situation is indicated by the padlock icon lighting up.
Furthermore, during heating, the "P" icon also lights up.
Before cleaning:
1. Do not leave anything inside the oven; remove all accessories such as drip-trays, racks, runners, telescopic guides,
etc. In fact, as well as hindering the correct circulation of heat on all the walls, these could also be damaged by the
high temperature.
2. Remove food residues using a moist sponge; never use detergents or any other specific cleaning product.
3. Do not obstruct the circulation of air in the area in front of the oven.
Above all, do not leave anything on the door handle.
During "Pyrolytic" automatic cleaning the surfaces can become very hot. Keep children away.
Any obscuring of the LCD display during the Oven Cleaning - Pyrolysis process is normal and not a cause for concern.
It is a precautionary display protection feature, caused by the high temperatures in use. This obscuring may last for
several tens of minutes; during this period the latter two indicator lights will provide all necessary information relating to
the process as it is running (P) and the door lock status (padlock).
N.B.: Any obscuring of the LCD display during Cooking processes may be caused by a fault in the oven cooling system,
which activates a protection feature (indicated by the flashing P symbol). If this situation arises, switch off the oven and
leave it to cool. If the problem persists, contact our After-Sales Service.
