Biscuits
Excellent results may be obtained by
using both trays and reducing recipe
temperatures. Baking time could be
slightly prolonged.
The door may be opened for inspection
purposes, after half the baking time has
elapsed.
“Rotisserie” Chicken
Two or more chickens, depending on size,
may be done simultaneously in the
Thermofan oven. The chickens should be
placed directly on a chrome wire shelf and
a drip tray should be placed on a second
wire shelf directly below each chicken.
Place 250ml of water in each drip tray. Set
the oven to 200°C.
• Clean your appliance regularly. This will
prolong it's good looks and enhance hygiene
levels.
• Use flat bottomed pots and pans when
cooking on the hotplates. This will
maximise efficiency and reduce electricity
costs.
• Keep children well away from the cooking
appliance. Explain the dangers to them.
Being safety conscious is being safe, not
sorry.
• Supervise the cooking process. Overcooked
or spoiled food is wasteful.
• Leave about a 40mm. air gap between
baking tins and the oven walls. Adequate air
circulation is important for good baking
results.
• Get into the habit of wearing oven gloves
when handling utensils in a hot oven. This
will help to avoid accidental burns.
• Partly slide out the oven shelf before
removing hot dishes from 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.
• Use abrasive cleaning materials. They will
scratch surfaces and fascia graphics.
• Allow fat splashes to dry and bake onto the
stove/oven surface before cleaning them. It
is easier to clean spills while they are still
slightly warm and soft.
• Put baking tins on the floor of 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 for
this purpose and damage could occur.
• Allow pot handles to overhang the front of
the appliance. Children might be tempted to
grab them with harmful consequences.

FAMILIARISE YOURSELF WITH ITS CONTENTS.
The Thermofan will circulate hot air
around each chicken, browning it to
perfection. The time will vary depending
on the mass of the chicken. For example a
1,5kg chicken would take approximately 1
hour and 15 minutes.
Grilling
Grilling in a Thermofan oven is the same
as in a conventional oven.
Heat is supplied by the Grill element at
the top of the oven and the fan does not
operate during grilling.
All the bake trays must be removed during
grilling as the intense heat could cause
them to warp. The roast pan and/or
smokeless broiler supplied with your oven
should be placed on a wire rack as close to
the grill element as possible.
