General information on baking, roasting
and grilling
DANGER:
Be careful when opening the oven
door as steam may escape.
Exiting steam can scald your
hands, face and/or eyes
Tips for baking
Use non-sticky coated appropriate metal
plates or aluminum vessels or heat-resistant
silicone moulds.
Make best use of the embossed shelf
runners.
Place the baking mould in the middle of the
shelf.
Select the correct embossed shelf runner
position before turning the oven or grill on.
Do not change the shelf position when the
oven is hot.
Keep the oven door closed.
Tips for roasting
Treating whole chicken, turkey and large
pieces of meat with dressings such as lemon
juice and black pepper before cooking will
increase the cooking performance.
It takes about 15 to 30 minutes longer to
roast meat with bones when compared to
roasting the same size of meat without
bones.
Each centimeter of meat thickness requires
approximately 4 to 5 minutes of cooking
time.
Leave meat in the oven for about 10 minutes
after the cooking time is over. The juice is
better distributed all over the roast and does
not run out when the meat is cut.
Fish should be placed on the middle or lower
shelf in a heat-resistant plate.
Tips for grilling
When meat, fish and poultry are grilled, they
quickly brown, develop a crust and do not
dry out quickly. Flat pieces, meat skewers
and sausages are particularly suited for
grilling as are vegetables with high water
content such as tomatoes and onions.
Distribute the pieces to be grilled on the wire
shelf or in the baking tray on the wire shelf
so that the space covered does not exceed
the size of the grill element.
Slide the wire shelf or baking tray into the
desired level of the oven. If you are grilling
on the wire shelf, slide the baking tray to the
lower rack to collect any fats. Add some
water in the tray for easy cleaning.

The Defy multifunction oven features 6 distinct cooking functions. (described below) These
functions may be selected by turning the multifunction selector knob until the required function
symbol is displayed at the top of the knob bezel.
Multifunction oven
Symbol
Function
Element selection
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.

3 Fan assisted oven For traditional
baking & even heat distribution
x Use the wire shelves only. Remove the
baking trays during fan assisted mode as
they are to be used for Thermofan baking
only.
x Set the multifunction selector to fan
assisted oven and the oven thermostat
to the required temperature. The indicator
light will glow and remain on until the oven
has reached the selected temperature.
x No preheating is necessary and the food
can be placed in the oven immediately.
x During cooking 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 anticlockwise direction.
Baking guide
x Cooking / baking is done at slightly lower
temperatures than in the static mode.
x Baking may be done on two wire shelves
simultaneously.
x The recommended shelf positions are
shown below.
x Place the food halfway between the back
of the oven and the door.
x Do not open the oven door until at least
half of the baking time has elapsed.
Multifunction oven - Operation
1 Fan only Used for defrosting
x Set the multifunction knob to fan only. 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.
2 Static Oven Used for traditional baking
x Use the wire shelf only. Remove the
baking trays during baking in static mode
as they are to be used for Thermofan
baking only.
x Set the multifunction selector to static
oven and the oven thermostat to the
required temperature. The indicator light
will glow and remain on until the oven has
reached the selected temperature.
x When the indicator light switches off, the
food should be placed in the oven.
x During cooking 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.
Baking guide
x Bake on a wire shelf only. The
recommended position is shown below.
x Place the food halfway between the back
of the oven and the door.
x Do not open the oven door until at least
two thirds of the baking time has elapsed.
Page 18
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.

WARNING: Close oven door
during turbo grilling. Hot
surfaces may cause burns!
WARNING: Accessible parts
become hot when grilling.
Always use oven gloves when
handling food in the oven and
keep children away from the
product when it is in use.
6 Conventional grilling.
x The oven door must remain partially
open when grilling.
x Use only a wire shelf when grilling as the
intense heat could warp the baking tray.
x Set the multifunction knob to
convection grill.
x Set the oven thermostat to the grill
position.
x Operating instructions are otherwise the
same as those for turbo grilling mentioned
previously.
x The oven door must remain closed
when Turbo grilling.
x Use only a wire shelf when grilling as the
intense heat could warp the baking trays.
x Turbo grilling is most suitable for meat as
drying out and shrinkage will be reduced.
x Set the multifunction knob to turbo grill.
x Set the oven thermostat to the grill
position.
x Pre-heat the grill element for about 5
minutes
x Place the food on the grid/roast pan and
place this on the wire shelf near to the
grill element.
x Monitor the grilling process to avoid
burning the food.
x Care must be taken not to touch the grill
element while handling food in the oven. If
necessary, partially withdraw the shelf to
improve access.
x After completion, return the multifunction
selector and the oven thermostat to the
OFF position in an anticlockwise direction.
5 Turbo grilling. For meat and fish
Note: The oven door should
remain closed when turbo
grilling and remain partially
open when using convection
grill.
Note: The control panel cooling
fan protects the controls from
excessive heat while the oven is
working and will continue to
operate for about 20 to 30
minutes after the oven is
switched off.
Before you can use the oven,
the time must be set. If the time
is not set, oven will not operate.
Grill performance will decrease
if the wire shelf rests against the
rear part of the oven. Slide the
wire shelf to the front section of
the rack and position it with the
help of the door in order to
obtain the best possible grill
performance.
Foods that are not suitable for
grilling create a fire risk. Only
grill food which is suitable for
intensive grilling heat. Do not
place the food too far in the
back of the grill. This is the
hottest area and fatty food may
catch fire.
