Baking guide
x Thermofan baking may be done on one
or two baking trays depending on volume.
x Large items: One or two cake tins may
be placed as shown and as close to the
door as possible. If one tin is used , it
should be placed centrally left to right .
x Small items: The entire area of each tray
may be utilised. Avoid any time delays
between positioning the two trays.
x All ovens extract a certain amount of
moisture from the food being cooked. The
greater capacity of the Thermofan oven
allows more food to be cooked and thus
more moisture may be released. This is
normal and is not detrimental to the food
or the oven.
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.

4 Thermofan oven
Registered by Defy in 1978, Thermofan
cooking differs from convection cooking in
that it uses the principle of forced convection
within the oven. The advantages are:
1. All the 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
using a rotisserie.
5. Cooking is done at slightly lower
temperatures, saving electricity and
reducing splatter.
Baking
x Thermofan ovens are supplied with two
baking trays and two wire shelves to
support the trays. The position of the
shelves will be determined by the size of
the items to be baked. Ideally, unused
trays and shelves should be left in
position to optimise airflow in the oven. If
desired, an additional tray and shelf may
be purchased from the nearest Defy Parts
Centre so that baking may be done on
three trays simultaneously.
x Set the multifunction selector to
Thermofan oven and the oven
thermostat to the required temperature.
x 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.
x After completion, return the multifunction
selector and the oven thermostat to the
OFF position in an anti-clockwise
direction.
