INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on the purchase of this quality product.
We trust that you will enjoy many years of trouble free use. Please read these instructions
carefully before using the oven. This manual will provide you with information on how to
operate and care for your product in order that you gain the maximum benefit from it.
UNPACKING
• Please ensure that pac aging 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 pac ing 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 ta e the necessary corrective action.
CUPBOARD DESIGN
• Coo ing appliances generate considerable heat. The layout and materials of the
mounting cabinet should ta e 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 coo ed.
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
This appliance must be earthed and the manufacturer and the seller do not accept
responsibility for any damage due to incorrect installation or electrical connection.
• This appliance should not be connected through an earth lea age system. Refer to
S.A.B.S. 0142.
• Support the oven in front of the aperture and ma e the electrical connection before
installing. This will ensure enough cable length for subsequent servicing.
Connection to the power supply
The connection 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.

INSTALLATION
• Insert the oven into the cupboard.
• Open the door to expose the fixing holes in the side trims.
• Secure the oven by 4 countersun screws (fasteners are not supplied).

Baking guide
• Coo ing / ba ing is done at slightly lower temperatures than in the conventional mode.
• Ba ing may be done on two shelves simultaneously. The
recommended shelf positions are 1 and 3.
• Do not use the ba ing trays as these are exclusively used
for Thermofan ba ing.
• Place the food halfway between the bac of the oven and
the door.
• Do not open the oven door until at least half of the
ba ing time has elapsed.
4 THERMOFAN OVEN
Registered by Defy in 1978, Thermofan coo ing differs from conventional coo ing 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 coo ed simultaneously without flavour or aroma transfer. Hence
fish, meat and ca es can be ba ed at the same time.
3. The oven door may be opened any time for inspection purposes without ris ing a flop.
4. By circulating hot air around the food, spit-roast chic ens may be done without using a
rotisserie.
5. Coo ing is done at slightly lower temperatures, saving electricity and reducing splatter.
Cooking
• 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 off, the food should be placed in the
oven. During coo ing 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 cloc wise direction.

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 coo ed. The much
greater capacity of the Thermofan oven allows more food to be coo ed 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 ba ing
time has lapsed. Then turn the ba ing tins around so that the sides previously facing the
bac 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.
5 TURBO GRILLING
• The oven door must remain closed when turbo grilling.
• Use only a wire shelf when grilling as the intense heat could warp the ba ing trays.
• Turbo grilling is most suitable for meat as drying out and shrin age will be reduced.
• Set the multi function nob 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 ta en not to touch the grill element while
handling 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 cloc wise direction.
WARNING:
ACCESSIBLE PARTS MAY BECOME HOT WHEN GRILLING. ALWAYS USE OVEN
GLOVES WHEN HANDLING FOOD IN THE OVEN AND KEEP
CHILDREN WELL AWAY FROM THE PRODUCT WHEN IT IS IN USE.

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 ba ing 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.
PRECAUTIONS
• Only use the appliance for preparing food.
• The appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without
supervision.

CARE GUIDE FOR STAINLESS STEEL
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
subjected to misuse or even abuse. Care should be ta en to avoid such ‘abnormal use’.
Cleaning materials
DO USE
• A soft cloth or synthetic sponge.
• Soap, or a mild household detergent.
• 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.
ALWAYS WIPE
IN THE DIRECTION OF THE
BRUSHED TEXTURE
ON THE STAINLESS STEEL

CONDITION ACTION NOTES AND
COMMENTS
Requires routine cleaning Mild detergent solution
applied with soft sponge or
cloth. Rinse and wipe dry.
If possible use warm to
hand-hot water. A 5%
addition of ammonia is
beneficial.
Finger prints Pre-treat finger mar s with
alcohol or an organic solvent.
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 liquid). 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
direction 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
difficult 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.

PROBLEM CHECK
