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.
MAINTENANCE Lift-off oven door • The oven door may be removed to improve access to the oven cavity and facilitate cleaning. • Open the door fully, turn the appropriate washers to lock the two hinges (see sketch) and, using both hands, lift the door out as shown. • After cleaning, refit in reverse order. Removing the inner door glass. • The glass may be removed for cleaning purposes by removing the two screws which hold it in place. • It is now possible to clean the inside of the outer glass if required.
Oven light The oven light is switched on by the oven thermostat and switches off when the thermostat knob is returned to 0. To replace a faulty light bulb, proceed as follows. • Switch off the power at the wall switch 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 25 watt bulb rated for 300°C Refit the light cover.
CLEANING AND MAINTAINING STAINLESS STEEL Stainless steel is not adversely affected by normal household use but because of it’s reputation for durability, it is sometimes assumed to be indestructible, and therefore subjected to misuse or even abuse. Care should be taken to avoid such ‘abnormal use’. Cleaning materials DO USE • A soft cloth or synthetic sponge. • Soap, or mild household detergent (Handy Andy) • Diluted ammonia in warm water. • A nylon bristle brush.
CONDITION ACTION NOTES AND COMMENTS Requires routine cleaning Mild detergent solution applied with soft sponge or cloth. Rinse and wipe dry. If possible use warm to handhot water. A 5% addition of ammonia is beneficial. Finger prints Pre-treat finger marks with alcohol or an organic solvent. Follow immediately with routine cleaning Minimize re-occurrence by applying a wax or silicone based household polish to the clean dry surface Wipe with a little baby oil and a soft lint free cloth.
