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 bottom oven element with aluminium foil.
CONVENTIONAL OVEN (Model 600C and 600S) Baking • Set the oven thermostat to the required temperature. • The thermostat indicator light will glow and remain on until the oven has reached the selected temperature. The light will then switch off. • Thereafter place the food in the oven. • During the baking cycle, the indicator light will switch on and off as the thermostat maintains the selected temperature.
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.
Grilling • The oven door must remain closed during grilling • Use only a wire shelf when grilling as the intense heat could warp the baking trays. • Set the oven thermostat to the grill position • Pre-heat the roast pan and broiler for 5 minutes under the grill element to help seal the meat. • Place the food on the broiler and place this on a wire shelf near to the grill element. • Monitor the grilling process to avoid burning the food. • After completion, the thermostat must be returned to 0.
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.
CERAN SMOOTH TOP 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’.
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. • Clean the oven with a damp, hot soapy cloth. • 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.
MAINTENANCE continued Lift-off oven door The oven door may be removed to improve oven access during cleaning Grasp the open door on both sides near the hinges Flip the retainer clasps up and over the hook on the upper hinge arm .
