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.
• 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
• Cooking / baking is done at slightly lower temperatures than in the
static mode.
• Baking may be done on two wire shelves simultaneously.
• The recommended shelf positions are shown on the right.
• 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. All the 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.
5. Cooking is done at slightly lower temperatures, saving electricity and reducing splatter.
Baking
• Thermofan ovens are supplied with two baking trays and two wire shelves to support the
trays. The position of the shelves will be determined by the size of the items to be baked.
Ideally, unused trays and shelves should be left in position to optimise airflow in the oven.
If desired, an additional tray and shelf may be purchased from the nearest Defy Parts Centre
so that baking may be done on three trays simultaneously.
• 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 baking 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 anti-clockwise direction.
