Cleaning and maintaining the oven
Important
Before maintaining the oven, always remove the power plug from its mains socket or
switch off power with the master power switch.
– The stainless steel and enamelled parts of the oven will stay as good as new if regularly
cleaned with water or special detergents, make sure to dry them carefully after
cleaning.
– Never use scouring pads, steel wool, muriatic acid or other products which could
scratch or mark the surface. Do not use steam cleaners.
– Stains on the base of the oven, due to various cooking products (sauces, sugar, egg
white and fats) are always produced by spills and splashes. Splashes occur during
cooking and the result of cooking at too high a temperature, while spills are due to the
use of insufficiently capacious cooking vessels or an incorrect estimate of increases in
volume during cooking. These two problems can be solved by using cooking vessels
with high borders or by using the provided drip tray. As regards cleaning the lower part
of the oven, clean off any stains when the oven is still slightly warm; the longer you
delay cleaning them off, the harder it is to remove them.
Cleaning the oven door
– The oven door must be cleaned, both inside and out, when the oven is completely cold using
hot water. Do not use abrasive cloths. Clean the glass with special detergent.
– Clean the enamelled surfaces, and the oven interior, with hot water and non-abrasive
detergent.
Replacing the oven light
Franke ovens are equipped with a circular lamp positioned on the top left at the back of
the compartment.

oven to the mains supply, or by removing the plug from the mains socket, if it can be
reached.

following type:
