OWNER’S MANUAL You can rely on Defy.
You and your Defy oven You’re going to make a great team together. But first, it will pay if you really get to know each other.

(described below) These functions may be selected by turning the multifunction selector knob until the required function symbol is displayed at the top of the knob bezel. Symbol Function 1 Defrosting Only the fan is used. No heat is generated. • 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.
Multifunction oven– Operation 1 Fan only Used for defrosting 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. WARNING: Under no circumstances should the bottom bake element be covered with aluminium foil. Nor should a pan or tray be positioned directly above the bake element. • Doing so would reflect the heat from the bake element downwards.
3 Fan assisted oven For traditional baking & even heat distribution • • • • • Use the wire shelves only. Remove the baking trays during fan assisted mode as they are to be used for Thermofan baking only. Set the multifunction selector to fan assisted 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. No preheating is necessary and the food can be placed in the oven immediately.
Thermofan Baking guide 5 Turbo grilling. For meat and fish • • • • • • Thermofan baking may be done on one or two baking trays depending on volume. Large items: One or two cake tins may be placed as shown below and as close to the door as possible. If one tin is used , it should be placed centrally left to right . Small items: The entire area of each tray may be utilised. Avoid any time delays between positioning the two trays.
A guide to Thermofan cooking Thermofan ovens require a slightly different technique from conventional ovens. These notes enable the first time Thermofan user to get the best results. Oven temperatures The airflow in a Thermofan oven allows lowered temperatures to be used. This results in roasts being more succulent and baking having a better texture. At the same time a small saving in electricity consumption is made. Baking times Baking times in a Thermofan oven are the same as for a Conventional oven.
Biscuits Excellent results may be obtained by using both trays and reducing recipe temperatures. Baking time could be slightly prolonged. The door may be opened for inspection purposes, after half the baking time has elapsed. “Rotisserie” Chicken Two or more chickens, depending on size, may be done simultaneously in the Thermofan oven. The chickens should be placed directly on a chrome wire shelf and a drip tray should be placed on a second wire shelf directly below each chicken.
