2 Static Oven The bottom and top heat elements are used
x Use the static oven mode for traditional baking and roasting.
x Pre-heating of the oven is recommended
1 Defrosting Only the fan is used. No heat is generated.
x In this mode the fan at the back of the oven will circulate air at room
temperature, substantially reducing the defrosting period required for
frozen food.
3 Fan Assisted Oven The fan plus the bottom and top heat elements
are used
x Use the fan assisted oven mode for traditional baking and roasting
where a more even heat distribution is required.
x Pre-heating of the oven is not necessary.
4 Thermofan Oven The fan plus the element surrounding the fan is used
x Registered by Defy in 1978, Thermofan cooking differs from
conventional cooking in that it uses the principle of forced convection
within the oven.
x The advantages are:
x Both baking trays may be used at the same time.
x Different dishes can be cooked simultaneously without flavour or
aroma transfer. Hence fish, meat and cakes can be baked at the
same time.
x The oven door may be opened any time for inspection purposes
without risk.
x By circulating hot air around the food, spit-roast chickens may be
done without using a rotisserie.
x Cooking is done at slightly lower temperatures, reducing splatter
and electricity consumption.
5 Turbo Grill The fan plus the grill element are used
x This mode is recommended to reduce shrinkage when grilling meat or
fish.
6 Grill Only the grill element is used
x This mode is recommended for convection grilling such as toasted
cheese sandwiches.
