Franke built-in ovens come from two collections, Maris and Mythos. Every oven here is electric, with fan and grill cooking and five shelf levels. Choosing between them comes down to how you want to clean the oven, the controls you like, the finish and whether you'd use steam cooking. Most are listed under Franke single ovens.
The Maris ovens are stainless steel with a 71 litre gross capacity, rotary knobs and touch controls. One cleans with steam and the other is pyrolytic. A pyrolytic cycle heats the cavity until grease turns to ash that you wipe away. Steam cleaning softens light soiling at a lower temperature but needs more effort on heavy grime. The Mythos ovens hold 73 litres and come in black glass or stainless steel. They have the Smooth2Close door, which opens and closes gently, and a control panel lock. Some Mythos ovens use push-pull knobs with an LCD display, and others have electronic controls with a TFT touch display.
The Mythos steam combi adds steam-assisted cooking to a conventional fan oven. Steam helps bread rise with a good crust, keeps fish and vegetables moist and reheats food without drying it. You'll also find it under Franke steam ovens.
To narrow the choice, decide first between pyrolytic and steam cleaning, then pick knobs or a touchscreen and a finish. To build a matching bank of appliances, look at Franke microwaves and Franke warming drawers, and finish the set with Franke hobs.
