In this mode the clock and oven will again function normally. WARMER DRAWER • • • • • The warming drawer has a variable temperature control. This allows the correct setting for the application. An indicator light will glow when the drawer has been switched on. If food is to be kept warm for a lengthy period it is best to select a lower temperature. Food left for too long in the warmer drawer could dry out and spoil. As a precaution food should always be covered, to minimise the drying effect. The drawer can be removed for cleaning purposes. Pull the drawer out to the bump-stop, then lift the front slightly and continue pulling till the drawer slides free. Refit by lifting the rear of the drawer over the bump-stop and then sliding it back. 6 MULTIFUNCTION OVEN 1 The fan blows ambient air over the frozen food to defrost it. 2 The rear bake element is used in conjunction with the fan. Top heat and bottom bake elements are used. 3 TURBO GRILL THERMOFAN OVEN 4 CONVENTIONAL OVEN FAN ASSISTED CONVENTIONAL OVEN FAN ONLY - NO HEAT 5 The top grill element is used in conjunction with the fan. Top heat and bottom bake elements are used in conjunction with the fan. CONVENTIONAL GRILL 6 The top grill element only is used. 1 FAN ONLY (Defrosting) • • Ensure that the timer is set to manual. Set the multifunction knob to fan only . In this mode the fan at the back of the oven will circulate air at room temperature, substantially reducing the defrosting period required for frozen food. 2 CONVENTIONAL OVEN • • • • • Ensure that the timer is set to manual. Set the multifunction selector to conventional oven and the oven thermostat to the required temperature. The indicator light will glow and remain on until the oven has reached the selected temperature. When the indicator light switches off, the food should be placed in the oven. During cooking the indicator light will cycle on and off as the oven thermostat maintains the selected temperature. After completion, return the multifunction selector and the oven thermostat to the OFF position in an anticlockwise direction. 7 Baking guide • Where possible, bake on the middle shelf position in the oven. • Do not use the baking trays as these are exclusively RECOMMENDED used for Thermofan baking. SHELF POSITION • Place the food halfway between the back of the oven and the door. • Do not open the oven door until at least two thirds of the baking time has elapsed. 3 CONVENTIONAL OVEN (Fan assisted) • • • • • Ensure that the timer is set to manual. Set the multifunction selector to conventional oven fan assisted and the oven thermostat to the required temperature. The indicator light will glow and remain on until the oven has reached the selected temperature. No preheating is necessary and the food can be placed in the oven immediately. During cooking the indicator light will cycle on and off as the oven thermostat maintains the selected temperature. After completion, return the multifunction selector and the oven thermostat to the OFF position in an anticlockwise direction. Baking guide • Baking may be done on two shelves simultaneously. The recommended shelf positions are shown in the sketch. RECOMMENDED • Do not use the baking trays as these are SHELF POSITIONS exclusively used for Thermofan baking. • Place the food halfway between the back of the oven and the door. • Do not open the oven door until at least half of the baking time has elapsed. 4 THERMOFAN OVEN Registered by Defy in 1978, Thermofan cooking differs from conventional cooking in that it uses the principle of forced convection within the oven. The advantages are: 1. Both trays may be used at the same time. 2. Different dishes can be cooked simultaneously without flavour or aroma transfer. Hence fish, meat and cakes can be baked at the same time. 3. The oven door may be opened any time for inspection purposes without risking a flop. 4. By circulating hot air around the food, spit-roast chickens may be done without using a rotisserie. Cooking • Ensure that the timer is set to manual. • Set the multifunction selector to Thermofan oven and the oven thermostat to the required temperature. 8 • • The indicator light will glow and remain on until the oven has reached the selected temperature. When the indicator light switches off, the food should be placed in the oven. During cooking the indicator light will cycle on and off as the oven thermostat maintains the selected temperature. After completion, return the multifunction selector and the oven thermostat to the OFF position in an anticlockwise direction. Baking guide • Thermofan baking is done with the oven trays in 5 position. An unused tray should be kept in position 4 to facilitate proper airflow. Position 1 is Recommended 3 recommended for large roasts, position 2 for tray positions 2 roasting and baking and position 4 for baking. • For small items the entire area of each tray may be 1 utilised. Larger items should be placed towards the front of each tray. • All ovens extract a certain amount of moisture from the food being cooked. The much greater capacity of the Thermofan oven allows more food to be cooked and thus more moisture may be released. This is normal and not detrimental to the food or the oven. • For professional results and perfect browning, open the oven door when half the baking time has lapsed. Then turn the baking tins around so that the sides previously facing the back of the oven now face the front. Caution: Thermofan baking relies on good contact between the bottom of the cake tin and the oven tray. Do not use spring form baking tins with a raised bottom. The lack of contact will cause the bottom of the cake to be underdone. These tins may be used on a wire shelf where no insulating air space is created. 5 TURBO GRILLING The oven door must remain partially open ( about 50mm ) when turbo grilling. Use only a wire shelf when grilling as the intense heat could warp the baking trays. Turbo grilling is most suitable for meat as drying out and shrinkage will be reduced. • Ensure that the timer is set to manual. • Set the multifunction selector to turbo grill. • Set the oven thermostat to 230°C. RECOMMENDED • Pre-heat the roast pan and grill rack for 5 SHELF POSITION minutes under the grill element to help seal the meat. • Place the food on the grill rack and place this on the wire shelf near to the grill element. • Monitor the grilling process to avoid burning the food. • Care must be taken not to touch the grill element while handling food in the oven. Withdraw the shelf to improve access. • After completion, return the multifunction selector and the oven thermostat to the OFF position in an anticlockwise direction. 9 6 CONVENTIONAL GRILLING The oven door must remain partially open (about 50mm) when grilling. Use only a wire shelf when grilling as the intense heat could warp the baking tray. • Ensure that the timer is set to manual. • Set the multifunction knob to conventional grill. • Set the oven thermostat to 230°C. • Operating instructions are otherwise the same as those for turbo grilling mentioned previously. WARNING: ACCESSIBLE PARTS MAY BECOME HOT WHEN GRILLING. ALWAYS USE OVEN GLOVES WHEN HANDLING FOOD IN THE OVEN AND KEEP CHILDREN WELL AWAY FROM THE PRODUCT WHEN IT IS IN USE. SOLID PLATES Red dot plates • Plates featuring a red dot in the centre are high speed, high wattage plates for increased performance • For your safety these plates are fitted with thermal limiters. Should a plate be accidentally switched on and left unattended, the limiter will reduce the power output of the plate and minimise the risk of overheating and the possibility of fire. Caring for Solid Plates • Before using the plates for the first time, switch them on for about 4 minutes at the highest setting. This allows the factory applied protective coating to burn in. • To prevent blotchy discolouration and corrosion, moisture from spatters and spills should be cleaned off immediately. • To clean the plates, wipe them with a damp cloth or nylon pad. A little liquid detergent may be used. Do not use metal scourers or sharp metal objects to clean the plates. • After cleaning, dry the plates by switching them on for a short while. • To prevent rust, periodically apply some, sewing machine oil or electrical hotplate polish available from Defy Service Centres. Extra attention is required in areas of high humidity or in close proximity to the sea. NOTE: THE WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER THE REPLACEMENT OR REPAIR OF RUSTED OR CORRODED PLATES. 10 Recommendations • Use only pots with a solid level base. An uneven base can prolong cooking times and waste energy. • Use pots with a base diameter slightly larger than the plate. This will ensure even heat distribution and prevent spillage from dripping onto and staining the hot plate. • Always cover the pot with a lid. This will conserve energy and minimise spillage. • Thermal shock could damage the plates. Do not put cold pots on very hot plates. Plate controls - variable • Select the heat level by turning the knob to the required setting. • You may select any setting. • 1= low, 3 = medium and 6 = high. • The illuminated display will glow, when the plate is switched on. CERAN SMOOTH TOP WARNING In the unlikely event of sustaining accidental damage and cracking, switch off the appliance at the mains to avoid electric shock and have the panel replaced before further use. Plate controls - variable • Select the heat level by turning the plate control knob to the required setting. You may select any setting, even between numbers. 1= low, 3 = medium and 6 = high. • The relevant pilot light will glow and shortly thereafter the hot surface indicator light on the hob will glow. It will remain on for 20 to 30 minutes after switch off. This is a reminder that the hob surface is still too hot to touch. Caring for the Ceran hob • Ceran is a tough, durable material, which provides a beautiful, functional and long lasting cooking surface. To keep it looking good, it needs to be treated with care and cleaned regularly. • Spillage should be wiped off as soon as possible with a damp cloth, preferably while the hob is still warm. • Clean the hob with a nylon pad and ‘Smooth top cleaner’. A sample of this cleaner is supplied with the unit. Replenishment cleaner is available from all Defy Service Centres. • If necessary stubborn spills may be removed using the blade scraper provided. • Do not use metal scourers or coarse abrasive powders as these could scratch the Ceran. • Regular cleaning after use will prevent dirt build up and ensure that the hob remains bright and attractive. • Wipe the hob surround with a damp hot soapy cloth and dry. 11 Recommendations (see also the enclosed ‘CERAN’ leaflet) • Use only pots with a solid level base. An uneven base will prolong cooking time and waste energy. • Use pots with a base diameter slightly larger than that of the thermal area. This will ensure even heat distribution and prevent spillage from dripping onto and staining the hot zone. • Always cover the pot with a lid. This will conserve energy and minimize spillage. • Save energy by switching the plate off 5 to 10 minutes before the end of a lengthy cooking period. The Ceran hob will retain sufficient residual heat to complete the cooking process. • A pot with rough edges could scratch the Ceran if it were dragged across the surface of the hob. • Any spillage of sugar solution such as jam, must be removed immediately. If allowed to cool on the Ceran it could pit and damage the surface. • Do not cover the Ceran with aluminium foil and do not use poor quality aluminium pots. These will leave unsightly deposits, which in time, could adhere to the Ceran. MAINTENANCE Cleaning the oven • Switch off the electrical power supply before cleaning any part of the appliance. • Open the oven door and allow the oven to cool down. • For improved access, the shelves, trays and oven door may be removed. (see details below) • Clean the oven with a damp, hot soapy cloth. Do NOT use steam cleaners. • It may be necessary to soak burnt soils with a liquid cleaner to soften them before scrubbing them with a nylon brush or scouring sponge. • Heavy soils on the bottom of the oven may require overnight soaking under a sponge liberally sprinkled with household ammonia. The soil can then be removed the following morning by washing normally. • Do not use metal objects or steel wool to clean the Guard oven • For your convenience, the shelves may be removed. • After cleaning, fit the bottom element into the hooks of the element guard. Failure to observe this Hook Element precaution would al- low the element to rest on and possibly damage the oven enamel. General cleaning • Switch off the electrical power supply before cleaning any part of the appliance. • Wipe down glass panels, cabinet, door, control knobs, trims and handles with a hot soapy cloth. Do Not use steam cleaners. • Use only liquid household cleaners and avoid abrasive powders, scouring pads and caustic cleaners. • Rinse and wipe down with a clean cloth. 12 Oven light The oven light is switched on and off by the multifunction selector switch on the control panel. To replace a faulty light bulb, proceed as follows: • Switch off the power at the wall isolator to avoid the possibility of electric shock. • Remove the light cover by unscrewing it in an anti clockwise direction • Unscrew the faulty bulb and fit a new 40 watt bulb rated for 300°C • Refit the light cover. Removing the Oven Door • Open the oven door to the grill position. • Firmly grasp the door at both sides and pull the door upwards until it is free of the hinge arms. • To replace the door, lower the door onto the exposed hinge arms and push firmly home. • Check to see if the door once more closes properly. SAFETY ADVICE • • • • • • • • Only use the oven and hob for preparing food. Always keep children away from the product when it is in use. Do not leave hot fat or oil unattended. If overheating occurs, these could catch fire. Switch off the power at the wall switch in the event of a fault or when cleaning the appliance. Do not store flammable items in the oven. If the oven is inadvertently switched on, these could catch fire. Never cover the oven bottom element with aluminium foil. Cooking times will be affected and the oven enamel could be damaged. Avoid spilling fruit juice, particularly citrus, on the oven as it could damage the enamel. Always keep the oven door gasket clean as this will enable the door to seal properly.
