4 Thermofan oven
Thermofan ovens are supplied with two
baking trays. The position of the trays will be
determined by the size of the items to be
baked. If desired, an additional tray may be
purchased from the nearest Defy Parts Centre
so that baking may be done on three trays
simultaneously.. Ideally, unused trays and
shelves should be left in position to optimise
airflow in the oven.
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:
All baking trays may be used at the same
time. Different dishes can be cooked
simultaneously without flavour or aroma
transfer. Hence fish, meat and cakes can be
baked at the same time. The oven door may
be opened for inspection purposes, when
half the baking time has elapsed, without
risking a flop. By circulating hot air around
the food, spit-roast chickens may be done
without using a rotisserie. Cooking is done
at slightly lower temperatures, saving
electricity and reducing splatter.
Baking
• 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 baking 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.
3 Fan assisted oven
For traditional baking & even
heat distribution
• Use the wire shelves only. Remove the
baking trays during fan assisted mode as
they are to be used for Thermofan baking
only.
• Set the multifunction selector to fan
assisted 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.
• 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
maintains the selected temperature.
• After completion, return the
multifunction selector and the oven
thermostat to the OFF position in an
anticlockwise direction.
Baking guide
• Cooking / baking is done at slightly
lower temperatures than in the static
mode.
• Baking may be done on two wire shelves
simultaneously.
• The recommended shelf positions are
shown below.
• 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.
