Selector Switch - Defy DBO482 Instruction Manual

Note:
The oven thermostat is marked to 70°C.
When set to this position, the oven may be
used as a warmer. All ovens extract
moisture from the food being cooked,
especially so during the winter months. This
is normal and not detrimental to the food or
the oven.
Baking Guide:
Where possible, bake on the middle shelf
position of the oven. The food must be
placed in the centre of the wire shelf towards
the oven door. Do not open the oven door
until at least two thirds of the baking time
has lapsed.
The roast pan must not be used for baking
purposes.
Grilling
Both the wire shelf and roast pan may be
used for grilling. The roast pan may also be
used as a drip tray under the wire shelf.
Position the shelf in the desired position
below the grill element.
Set the selector switch and oven thermostat
to their respective Grill positions.
The thermostat indicator light will glow.
Preheat the grill element for about 5
minutes. Partially withdraw the shelf and
place the food in the centre of the shelf.
Slide the shelf back into position.
Monitor the grilling to avoid burning the food.
After grilling is completed, the oven
thermostat and the selector switch must be
returned to the "0" position in an anti-
clockwise direction.
Ringer timer
The ringer timer may be used for timing a
cooking period of up to 60 minutes.
First wind the timer by turning the knob fully
clockwise. Return the knob to the desired
time period. At the end of the this period the
bell will ring. Note: If the timer is not first fully
wound the bell may not ring.

Tips for cooking vegetables
If the vegetable dish runs out of juice and
•
gets too dry, cook it in a pan with a lid
instead of a tray. Closed vessels will
preserve the juice of the dish.
If the vegetables in a vegetable dish do
•
not cook properly, boil the vegetables
beforehand or prepare them like canned
food and put in the oven.
For cooking that requires preheating,
preheat at the beginning of cooking process
until the thermostat lamp switches off.
Tips for baking cake
If the cake is too dry, increase the
•
temperature by 10°C and decrease the
cooking time.
If the cake is wet, use less liquid or lower
•
the temperature by 10°C.
If the cake is too dark on top, place it on a
•
lower rack, lower the temperature and
increase the cooking time.
If cooked well on the inside but sticky on
•
the outside use less liquid, lower the
temperature and increase cooking time.
