Multifunction oven
The Defy multifunction oven features 6 distinct cooking functions. (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.
2 Static Oven The bottom and top heat elements are used
Use the static oven mode for traditional baking and
•
roasting.
Pre-heating of the oven is recommended
•
3 Fan Assisted Oven The fan plus the bottom and top heat
elements are used
Use the fan assisted oven mode for traditional baking and
•
roasting where a more even heat distribution is required.
Pre-heating of the oven is not necessary.
•
4 Thermofan Oven The fan plus the element surrounding
the fan is used
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:
•
Both baking trays may be used at the same time.
•
Different dishes can be cooked simultaneously without
•
flavour or aroma transfer. Hence fish, meat and cakes can
be baked at the same time.
The oven door may be opened any time for inspection
•
purposes without risk.
By circulating hot air around the food, spit-roast chickens
•
may be done without using a rotisserie.
Cooking is done at slightly lower temperatures, reducing
•
splatter and electricity consumption.
5 Turbo Grill The fan plus the grill element are used
This mode is recommended to reduce shrinkage when
•
grilling meat or fish.
6 Grill Only the grill element is used
This mode is recommended for conventional grilling such
•
as toasted cheese sandwitches.
