Introduction
Unpacking
Cupboard design
•
Cooking appliances generate considerable heat. The layout and materials of the
mounting cabinet should take account of the characteristics of the oven.
•
Surfaces immediately adjacent to the oven should be able to withstand temperatures
of up to 100 C without delaminating or discolouring.
•
Because the oven vents through the handle, overhanging doors above the oven may be
subjected to heat as well as condensation if very moist foods are being cooked.
•
This appliance should not be connected through an earth leakage system.
Refer to S.A.B.S. 0142.
•
Support the oven in front of the aperture and make the electrical connection before in-
stalling. This will ensure enough cable length for subsequent servicing.
Connection to the power supply must be carried out by a licensed electrician, who will
ensure that the oven is correctly connected and safely earthed. The rated current is printed
on the serial number label attached to the oven side trim.
The appliance must be connected to the mains through a double pole isolating switch
which has a minimum clearance between the contacts of 3 mm. in both poles.
A means for disconnection must be provided in the fixed wiring.
Electrical
installation
“This appliance must be earthed and the
manufacturer and the seller do not accept
responsibility for any damages due to
incorrect installation or electrical
connection.”
•
Please ensure that packaging material is disposed of in a responsible manner.
•
Plastic bags should be cut up to prevent children playing with them and accidentally
suffocating.
•
Remove all packing from the oven cavity and position the accessories.
•
If the appliance is damaged in any way, do not use it. Report the damage to your
dealer, who will take the necessary corrective action.

Multifunction oven
1 Fan only ( Defrosting)
•Set the multi function knob to fan only. In this mode the fan at the back of the oven
will circulate air at room temperature, substantially reducing the defrosting period re-
quired for frozen food.
2 Conventional oven
•Set the multi function selector to conventional oven and the oven thermostat to the re-
quired 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 cooking the indicator light will cycle on and off as the oven thermostat main-
tains the selected temperature.
•After completion, return the multifunction selector and the oven thermostat to the
OFF position in an anti clockwise direction.
Bakingguide
•Where possible, bake on the middle shelf
position ( 2 ) in the oven.
•Do not use the baking trays as these are exclusively used for
Thermofan baking.
•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 elapsed.
The fan blows ambient air
over the frozen food to
defrost it.
Top heat and bottom bake
elements are used. Top heat and bottom bake elements are used in
conjunction with the fan.
The rear bake element is
used in conjunction with
the fan.
The top grill element is
used in conjunction with
the fan.
The top grill element only
is used.

Cooking
•Set the multifunction selector to Thermofan oven and the oven thermostat to the re-
quired 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 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 anti clockwise direction.
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. Both 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 us-
ing a rotisserie.
5. Cooking is done at slightly lower temperatures, saving electricity and reducing
splatter.
3 Conventional oven (fan assisted)
•Set the multifunction selector to conventional oven fan assisted and the oven ther-
mostat 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 main-
tains the selected temperature.
After completion, return the multifunction selector and the oven thermostat to the OFF
position in an anti clockwise direction.
Bakingguide
•Cooking / baking is done at slightly lower temperatures than in the conventional mode.
•Baking may be done on two shelves simultaneously. The rec-
ommended shelf positions are 1 and 3.
•Do not use the baking trays as these are exclusively used for
Thermofan baking.
•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.

Baking guide
•
Thermofan baking is done with the oven trays in position.
•For small items the entire area of each tray may be utilised. Larger items should be
placed towards the front of each tray.
•All ovens extract a certain amount of moisture from the food being cooked. The much
greater capacity of the Thermofan oven allows more food to be cooked and thus more
moisture may be released. This is normal and not detrimental to the food or the oven.
•For professional results and perfect browning, open the oven door when half the bak-
ing time has lapsed. Then turn the baking tins around so that the sides previously fac-
ing the back of the oven now face the front.
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 shelf when grilling as the intense heat could warp the baking trays.
•
Turbo grilling is most suitable for meat as drying out and shrinkage will be reduced.
•
Set the multi function knob to turbo grill .
•
Set the oven thermostat to the
grill position.
•
Pre-heat the Grill element for about 5 minutes
•
Place the food on the Grid/Roast pan and place this on the
wire shelf near to the grill element.( position 3)
•
Monitor the grilling process to avoid burning the food.
•
Care must be taken not to touch the grill element while han-
dling food in the oven. Withdraw the shelf to improve access.
•
After completion, return the multifunction selector and the oven thermostat to the
OFF position in an anti clockwise direction.

•
The warming drawer has a variable temperature control. This
allows
the correct setting for the application. An indicator light will
glow
when the drawer has been switched on.
•
If food is to be kept warm for a lengthy period it is best to select a
lower temperature.
•
Food left for too long in the warmer drawer could dry out and spoil. As a precaution
food should always be covered, to minimise the drying
effect.
•
The drawer can be removed for cleaning purp
oses. Pull the drawer out to the
bump
-
stop, then lift the front slightly and continue pulling till the drawer slides
free.
•
Refit by lifting the rear of the drawer over the
bump
-
stop and then sliding it back.
Ringer timer
•
The ringer timer may be used for timing the cooking period. It does
not switch off the oven but gives an audible ring when the
selected
time period has elapsed.
•
Turn the control knob to 60 minutes to wind up the
mechanism.
•
Return the knob to the desired period.
•
When the time has elapsed, the timer will ring for a few
seconds.
6 Conventional grilling
•
The oven door must remain closed when grilling.
•
Use only a wire shelf when grilling as the intense
heat could warp the baking
tray.
•
Set the
multifunction knob to conventional grill.
•
Set the oven thermostat to the
grill position.
•
Operating instructions are otherwise the same as those for turbo grilling
mentioned
previously.

Stainless steel is not adversely affected by normal household use but because of it’s
reputation for durability, it is sometimes assumed to be indestructible, and therefore sub-
jected to misuse or even abuse. Care should be taken to avoid such ‘abnormal use’.
Cleaning materials
DO USE
•A soft cloth or synthetic sponge.
•Soap, or mild household detergent ( Handy Andy ).
•Diluted ammonia in warm water.
•A nylon bristle brush.
•Cleaners labelled “Suitable for stainless steel”.
DO NOT USE
•Acids.
•Coarse abrasive cleaning powders.
•Metallic scourers, steel wool or metal scrapers.
•Wire brushes or emery paper.
•So called ‘silver cleaners’.
•Kitchen scourers/foam pads.
Cleaning procedure
•Frequent cleaning is recommended rather than an occasional aggressive clean.
•Routine cleaning will preserve the corrosion resistance and appearance of the stainless
steel for many years.
•Clean the stainless steel as often as necessary ( i.e. when noticeably dull or dirty ) and
use the simplest cleaning method that will effectively do the job.
•Use clean water, or a mild detergent solution applied with a soft cloth or sponge. Rinse
well and wipe dry.

CONDITION ACTION NOTES AND COM-
MENTS
Requires routine cleaning Mild detergent solution ap-
plied with soft sponge or
cloth. Rinse and wipe dry.
If possible use warm to
hand-hot water. A 5% addi-
tion of ammonia is benefi-
cial.
Finger prints Pre-treat finger marks with
alcohol or an organic sol-
vent. Follow immediately
with routine cleaning.
Minimize re-occurrence by
applying a wax or silicone
based household polish to
the clean dry surface.
Wipe with a little baby oil
and a soft lint free cloth.
Buff to shine.
Apply whenever necessary.
Stubborn stains and
discolouration Use a little Ceran cleaning paste. (available from Defy
Service Centres).
Rinse and dry.
Repeat several times rather
than resorting to a single
aggressive cleaning method.
Grease and fat splatter. Wipe off excess with a soft
cloth or paper towel. Use a
water borne degreasing
agent ( dishwashing liq-
uid ).Follow up by routine
cleaning.
Scratches on the brushed
finish. For slight scratches, use a nylon pad loaded with an
iron free abrasive polishing
compound. Follow the direc-
tion of the original texture.
Follow up with routine
cleaning.
For deep scratches use a
coarser abrasive initially and
follow up as for light
scratches.
Deep scratches will be diffi-
cult to remove completely.
Do not use steel wool or
metal scourers unless they
are made from stainless
steel.
It must be appreciated that some of the above suggested procedures will alter the
surface appearance of the treated area.
They should therefore only be applied with due consideration and care.
