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 must be carried out by a licensed electrician, who will 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 —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

Position 4 and 2 = T/fan baking (small items) Position3 = Grill

Position 2 = T/Fan baking (large items—single tray usage). Position 1 = T/Fan roasting ( large)

∙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 baking 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.
