4 Thermofan oven
Registered by De y in 1978, Thermofan cooking di ers rom conventional cooking in that it
uses the principle o orced convection within the oven. The advantages are:
1. All the trays may be used at the same time.
2. Di erent dishes can be cooked simultaneously without lavour or aroma trans er. Hence
ish, meat and cakes can be baked at the same time.
3. The oven door may be opened any time or inspection purposes without risking a lop.
4. By circulating hot air around the ood, 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 o the shelves will be determined by the size o the items to be baked.
Ideally, unused trays and shelves should be le t in position to optimise air low in the oven.
I desired, an additional tray and shel may be purchased rom the nearest De y 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 o , the ood should be placed in the oven.
During baking the indicator light will cycle on and o as the oven thermostat maintains the
selected temperature.
• A ter completion, return the multifunction selector and the oven thermostat to the OFF
position in an anti-clockwise direction.

PAGE 11 OF 24
Baking guide
• 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 and as close to the door as
possible. I one tin is used , it should be placed centrally le t to right .
• Small items: The entire area o each tray may be utilised. Avoid any time delays between
positioning the two trays.
• All ovens extract a certain amount o moisture rom the ood being cooked. The greater
capacity o the Thermofan oven allows more ood to be cooked and thus more moisture
may be released. This is normal and is not detrimental to the ood or the oven.
Caution: Thermofan baking relies on good contact between the bottom of the cake tin
and the oven tray. Do not use spring form baking tins with a raised bottom. The
lack of contact will cause the bottom of the cake to be underdone. These tins may be
used on a wire shelf where no insulating air space is created.
• The oven door must remain closed when Turbo grilling.
• Use only a wire shel when grilling as the intense heat could warp the baking trays.
• Turbo grilling is most suitable or meat as drying out and shrinkage will be reduced.
• Set the multifunction knob to turbo grill.
• Set the oven thermostat to the grill position.
• Pre-heat the grill element or about 5 minutes
• Place the ood on the grid/roast pan and place this on the wire shel near to the grill
element.
• Monitor the grilling process to avoid burning the ood.
• Care must be taken not to touch the grill element while handling ood in the oven. I
necessary, partially withdraw the shel to improve access.
• A ter completion, return the multifunction selector and the oven thermostat to the OFF
position in an anticlockwise direction.

Plate controls
• Select the heat level by turning the relevant plate control knob to the required setting.
• The higher the number selected, the hotter the temperature o the plate will be.
• The plate indicator light will glow when a plate is switched on.
Red dot plates
• Plates eaturing a red dot in the centre are high speed, high wattage plates or increased
per ormance.
• For your sa ety these plates are itted with thermal limiters. Should a plate be
accidentally switched on and le t unattended, the limiter will reduce the power output o
the plate and minimise the risk o overheating and the possibility o ire.
Caring for Solid Plates
• Be ore using the plates or the irst time, switch them on or about 4 minutes at the
highest setting. This allows the actory applied protective coating to burn in.
• To prevent blotchy discolouration and corrosion, moisture rom spatters and spills
should be cleaned o immediately.
• To clean the plates, wipe them with a damp cloth or nylon pad.
• A little liquid detergent may be used.
• Do not use metal scourers or sharp metal objects to clean the plates.
• After cleaning, dry the plates by switching them on for a short while.
• To prevent rust, periodically apply some sewing machine oil or electrical hotplate polish
available rom De y Service Centres.
• Extra attention is required in areas o high humidity or in close proximity to the sea.
Recommendations
• Use only pots with a solid level base. An uneven base can prolong cooking times and
waste energy.
• Use pots with a base diameter slightly larger than the plate. This will ensure even heat
distribution and prevent spillage rom dripping onto and staining the hot plate.
• Always cover the pot with a lid. This will conserve energy and minimise spillage.
• Thermal shock could damage the plates. Do not put cold pots on very hot plates.

Ceran smooth top. For use w th under-counter model 600 MSU
Caring for the Ceran hob
• Ceran is a tough, durable material, which provides a beauti ul, unctional and long lasting
cooking sur ace. To keep it looking good, it needs to be treated with care and cleaned
regularly.
• Spillage should be wiped o as soon as possible with a damp cloth, pre erably while the
hob is still warm.
• Clean the hob with a nylon pad and ‘Smooth top cleaner’. A sample tube o cleaner is
supplied with the unit and replacements are available rom all De y Service Centres.
• I necessary, stubborn spills may be removed using the blade scraper provided.
• Do not use metal scourers or coarse abrasive powders as these could scratch the Ceran.
• Regular cleaning a ter use will prevent dirt build up and ensure that the hob remains
bright and attractive.
• Wipe the hob surround with a damp hot soapy cloth and dry.
Recommendations
• Use only pots with a solid level base. An uneven base will prolong cooking time and
waste energy.
• Use pots with a base diameter slightly larger than that o the thermal area. This will
ensure even heat distribution and prevent spillage rom dripping onto and staining the hot
zone.
• Always cover the pot with a lid. This will conserve energy and minimize spillage.
• Save energy by switching the plate o 5 to 10 minutes be ore the end o a lengthy
cooking period. The Ceran hob will retain su icient residual heat to complete the
cooking process.
• A pot with rough edges could scratch the Ceran i it were dragged across the sur ace o
the hob.
• Any spillage o sugar solution such as jam, must be removed immediately. I allowed to
cool on the Ceran it could pit and damage the sur ace.
• Do not cover the Ceran with aluminium oil and do not use poor quality aluminium pots.
These will leave unsightly deposits which in time, could adhere to the Ceran.
Plate controls
• Select the heat level by turning the relevant plate control knob to the required setting.
• The higher the number selected, the hotter the temperature o the plate will be.
The plate indicator light will glow. Shortly therea ter the hot sur ace indicator light on the
hob will switch on and will remain on or 20 to 30 minutes a ter the last plate is switched
o . This is a reminder that the hob sur ace is still too hot to touch.

• Clean your appliance regularly. This
will prolong it's good looks and
enhance hygiene levels.
• Use lat bottomed pots and pans when
cooking on the hotplates. This will
maximise e iciency and reduce
electricity costs.
• Keep children well away rom the
cooking appliance. Explain the
dangers to them. Being sa ety
conscious is being sa e, not sorry.
• Supervise the cooking process.
Overcooked or spoiled ood is
waste ul.
• Leave about a 40mm. air gap between
baking tins and the oven walls.
Adequate air circulation is important
or good baking results.
• Get into the habit o wearing oven
gloves when handling utensils in a hot
oven. This will help to avoid
accidental burns.
• Partly slide out the oven shel be ore
removing hot dishes rom the oven.
This will prevent accidental contact
with the hot oven sides.
Do Don’t
• Use pots which are smaller than the
hotplate diameter. This wastes
electricity and allows the pot handles
to overheat.
• Leave the appliance unattended
especially when grilling. This is good
practice and avoids accidents.
• Place anything on the open oven door.
The glass is not a work sur ace and
could get scratched.
• Use abrasive cleaning materials. They
will scratch sur aces and acia
graphics.
• Allow at splashes to dry and bake
onto the stove/oven sur ace be ore
cleaning them. It is easier to clean
spills while they are still slightly
warm and so t.
• Put baking tins on the loor o the
oven. This will prevent heat
circulation and spoil baking results.
• Use the appliance to heat the home.
Neither the hotplates nor the oven
were designed or this purpose and
damage could occur.
• Allow pot handles to overhang the
ront o the appliance. Children might
