Cupboard design
•
Cooking appliances generate considerable heat. The layout and materials of the
mounting cabinet should take 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 and worktops above
the oven may be subjected to heat as well as condensation if very moist foods are
being cooked.
Electrical
installation
•
This appliance should not be connected through an earth leakage system.
Refer to S.A.B.S. 0142.
•
Place the oven on the floor in front of the aperture and make the electrical connection
before installing. This will ensure enough cable length for subsequent servicing.
Connection to the power supply
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.
Hob to oven connection
must be carried out by a licensed electrician, who will
— Two 6 pin electrical plugs are used. ( Refer to label on oven )
Installation
• Note: The oven cavity must vent through the front only. Avoid gaps between cupboard
sides and the underside of the worktop.
• Insert the oven into the cupboard.
• Open the door to expose the fixing holes in the side trims.
• Secure the oven by 4 countersunk screws (fasteners are not supplied ).
• The hob should be installed in a ventilated cupboard fitted with a sturdy worktop.
• Secure the hob using the fixing brackets provided.

Thermofan oven ( model 600STS )
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:
1. Both 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.
Cooking
• Set 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 cooking the indicator light will cycle on and off as the oven thermostat
maintains the selected temperature
• After completion, the thermostat must be returned to 0.

Baking guide
• Thermofan baking may be done on both trays simultaneously (small items) or on a
single tray for larger items ( see shelf positions). When using a single tray, the other
tray should be removed from the oven.
• For small items the entire area of each tray may be utilised. Larger items should be
placed towards the front of the tray.
• All ovens extract a certain amount of moisture from the food being cooked. The much
greater capacity of the Thermofan oven allows more food to be cooked 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 bak-
ing time has lapsed. Then turn the baking tins around so that the sides previously facing the back 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.
