General information on baking, roasting and
grilling
DANGER:
Be careful when opening the oven door
as steam may escape. Exiting steam can
scald your hands, face and/or eyes
Using the oven
Baking
This product is supplied with one chromed
oven shelf and a roast pan. If required,
additional shelves, roast pans and a broiler
may be purchased from any Defy Service
Centre.
Set the selector knob to the desired baking mode.
See descriptions on page 5. Top and Bottom
elements or Bottom element only or Top element
only.
Set the oven thermostat to the required
temperature.
The thermostat indicator light will glow and remain
on until the oven has reached the selected
temperature. The light will then switch off.
Thereafter place the food in the oven.
During the baking cycle, the indicator light will
switch on and off as the thermostat maintains the
selected temperature.
After baking is completed, the thermostat and
the selector knob must be turned to the
"0"position in an anti clockwise direction.
Note: The oven thermostat is marked down to
70°C. When set to this position, the oven may
be used as a warmer.
Baking Guide:
Where possible, bake on the middle shelf position
of the oven.
Place the food halfway between the back of the
oven and the door.
Do not open the oven door until at least two thirds
of the baking time has lapsed.
The roast pan is ideal for roasting but should
not be used for baking. During baking, the
roast pan should be removed.
For best baking results use an aluminium bake
tray (380mm x 260mm x 30mm). These are
available from all Defy Parts Centres. Part
number 067610.
Teflon coated baking trays are not
recommended.
Foods that are not suitable for grilling
create a fire risk. Only grill food which is
suitable for intensive grilling heat.
Do not place the food too far in towards
the back of the grill. This is the hottest
area and fatty food may catch fire.

Grilling
The oven door must remain partially open
(approx. 80 mm) during grilling.
Both the wire shelf and roast pan/shelf 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.
Pre-heat 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 and partially
close the door.
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.
Accessible parts may become hot when grilling.
Always use oven gloves when handling food in
the oven and keep children well away from the
stove when it is in use.
Foods that are not suitable for grilling
create a fire risk. Only grill food which
is suitable for intensive grilling heat.
Do not place the food too far in the
