Baking guide

• Where possible, bake on the middle shelf position in

the oven.

• Do not use the baking trays as these are 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 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.

• Do not use the baking trays as these are

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.

• 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

position. An unused tray should be kept in position

to facilitate proper airflow. Position 1 is

recommended for large roasts, position 2 for

roasting and baking and position 4 for baking.

• For small items the entire area of each tray may be

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.

• Pre-heat the roast pan and grill rack for 5

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.

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.

11

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.

12

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

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

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.
