How to use the oven

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 molds. Make best use of the embossed shelf runners.

Place the baking mold 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.

How to operate the electric oven
  1. Set the Temperature knob to the desired temperature.
  2. Set the Function knob to the desired operating mode.

Oven heats up to the adjusted temperature and maintains it. During heating, temperature lamp stays on.

Switching off the electric oven
Turn the function knob and temperature knob to the off position.

Using the oven

Baking

This product is supplied with a chromed oven shelf and a roast pan. If required, additional shelves, roast pans and broiler may be purchased from Defy spares. Set the selector knob to the desired baking mode. See descriptions on page 14. Top and Bottom elements or Bottom element only. Set the oven thermostat to the required temperature.

The thermostat indicator light will glow and remain on until the oven has reached the selected temperature. The light will then switch off.

Thereafter place the food in the oven. During the baking cycle, the indicator light will switch on and off as the thermostat maintains the selected temperature.

After baking is completed, the thermostat and the selector knob must be turned to the “0”position in an anti clockwise direction.

Note: The oven thermostat is marked to 70°C. When set to this position, the oven may be used as a warmer. All ovens extract moisture from the food being cooked, especially so during the winter months. This is normal and not detrimental to the food or the oven.

Baking Guide:
Where possible, bake on the middle shelf position of the oven. The food must be placed in the center of the wire shelf towards the oven door. Do not open the oven door until at least two thirds of the baking time has lapsed. The roast pan must not be used for baking purposes.

Grilling
Both the wire shelf and roast pan may be used for grilling. The roast pan may also be used as a drip tray under the wire shelf. Position the shelf in the desired position below the grill element.

Set the selector switch and oven thermostat to their respective Grill positions. The thermostat indicator light will glow. Preheat the grill element for about 5 minutes. Partially withdraw the shelf and place the food in the centre of the shelf.

Slide the shelf back into position. Monitor the grilling to avoid burning the food. After grilling is completed, the oven thermostat and the selector switch must be returned to the “0” position in an anti-clockwise direction.

Tips for cooking vegetables

  • If the vegetable dish runs out of juice and gets too dry, cook it in a pan with a lid instead of a tray. Closed vessels will preserve the juice of the dish.
  • If the vegetables in a vegetable dish do not cook properly, boil the vegetables beforehand or prepare them like canned food and put in the oven

For cooking that requires preheating, preheat at the beginning of cooking process until the thermostat lamp switches off.

Tips for baking cake

  • If the cake is too dry, increase the temperature by 10°C and decrease the cooking time.
  • If the cake is wet, use less liquid or lower the temperature by 10°C.
  • If the cake is too dark on top, place it on a lower rack, lower the temperature and increase the cooking time.
  • If cooked well on the inside but sticky on the outside use less liquid, lower the temperature and increase cooking time

Tips for baking pastry

  • If pastry is too dry, increase the temperature by 10°C and decrease the cooking time. Dampen the layers of dough with a sauce composed of milk, oil, egg and yoghurt.
  • If pastry takes too long to bake, ensure that the thickness of the pastry prepared does not exceed the depth of the tray.
  • If the upper side of the pastry gets browned, but the lower part is not cooked, make sure that the amount of sauce used for the pastry is not too much at the bottom of the pastry. Try to distribute the sauce equally between dough layers and top of the pastry for an even browning.

Cook pastry in accordance with the mode and temperature given in the cooking table. If the bottom part is still not browned enough, place it on one lower rack the following time.

DANGER Risk of scalding by hot steam! Take care when opening the oven door as steam may escape.

IMPORTANT: Grilling must be done with the oven door closed!

How to operate the grill

Switching on the grill

  1. Turn the Function knob to the desired grill symbol.
  2. Select the desired grilling temperature.
  3. If required, perform a preheating of about 5 minutes

» Temperature light turns on.

Switching off the grill

Turn the Function knob to the Off position.

  • Grill performance will decrease if the wire grill rests against 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 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

  • Note: First rack of the oven is at the bottom of the oven.

Solid plates

Caring for Solid Plates

  • Before using the plates for the first time, switch them on for about 4 minutes at the highest setting. This allows the factory applied protective coating to burn in.
  • To prevent blotchy discolouration and corrosion, moisture from spatters and spills should be cleaned off immediately.
  • To clean the plates, wipe them with a damp cloth or nylon pad. A little liquid detergent may be used. Do not use metal scourers or sharp metal objects to clean the plates.
  • After cleaning, dry the plates by switching them on for a short while.
  • To prevent rust, periodically apply some, sewing machine oil or electrical hotplate polish – available from Defy Service Centres. Extra attention is required in areas of high humidity or in close proximity to the sea.

Recommendations

  • Use only pots with a solid level base. An uneven base can prolong cooking times and waste energy.
  • Use pots with a base diameter slightly larger than the plate. This will ensure even heat distribution and prevent spillage from dripping onto and staining the hot plate.
  • Always cover the pot with a lid. This willconserve energy and minimise spillage.
  • Thermal shock could damage the plates. Do not put cold pots on very hot plates

Plate controls—variable

  • Select the heat level by turning the knob to the required setting.
  • You may select any setting.
  • 1= low , 3 = medium and 6 = high.
  • The relevant plate indicator light will glow, when the plate is switched on. (model 621 only).

The warranty does not cover the replacement or repair of rusted or corroded plates.

Danger of fire: Do not store items on the cooking surface.

CAUTION: The cooking process has to be supervised. A short term cooking process has to be supervised continuously.

WARNING: Unattended cooking on a hob with fat or oil can be dangerous and may result in a fire.

OVER THE YEARS, DEFY’S SERVICE CENTRES HAVE IDENTIFIED THIS LIST OF DO’S AND DON’TS AS BEING IMPORTANT FOR CUSTOMER SATISFACTION AND SAFETY. PLEASE READ IT AND FAMILIARISE YOURSELF WITH ITS CONTENTS.

Do

  • Clean your appliance regularly. This will prolong it’s good looks and enhance hygiene levels.
  • Use flat bottomed pots and pans when cooking on the hotplates. This will maximize efficiency and reduce electricity costs.
  • Keep children well away from the cooking appliance. Explain the dangers to them. Being safety conscious is being safe, not sorry.
  • Supervise the cooking process. Overcooked or spoiled food is wasteful.
  • Leave about a 40 mm. air gap between baking tins and the oven walls. Adequate air circulation is important for good baking results.
  • Get into the habit of wearing oven gloves when handling utensils in a hot oven. This will help to avoid accidental burns.
  • Partly slide out the oven shelf before removing hot dishes from the oven. This will prevent accidental contact with the hot oven sides.

Don’t

  • Use pots which are smaller than the hotplate diameter. This wastes electricity and allows the pot handles to overheat.
  • Leave the appliance unattended especially when grilling. This is good practice and avoids accidents.
  • Place anything on the open oven door. The glass is not a work surface and could get scratched.
  • Use abrasive cleaning materials. They will scratch surfaces and fascia graphics.
  • Allow fat splashes to dry and bake onto the stove/oven surface before cleaning them. It is easier to clean spills while they are still slightly warm and soft.
  • Put baking tins on the floor of the oven. This will prevent heat circulation and spoil baking results.
  • Use the appliance to heat the home. Neither the hotplates nor the oven were designed for this purpose and damage could occur.
  • Allow pot handles to overhang the front of the appliance. Children might be tempted to grab them with harmful consequences.

| DANGER

Risk of scalding by hot steam! Take care when opening the oven door as steam may escape.

| WARNING: Under no circumstances should the bake element be covered with aluminium foil. Nor should a pan or tray be positioned directly above the bake element.

Doing so would reflect the heat from the bake element downwards. Heat to the oven would be restricted and overheating of the space below the element would result in damage to the oven enamel.

---|---
**| WARNING** Hot surfaces may cause burns! Do not touch the hot surfaces of the appliance. Use oven gloves. Keep children away from the appliance.
---|---

| DANGER Risk of fire by overheated oil! When heating oil, do not leave it unattended. Never try to extinguish a fire with water! When oil has caught fire, immediately cover the pot or pan with a lid. Switch off the hob if safe to do so and phone the fire service.

Problem check

Do not attempt any repairs yourself.
Before calling a service technician to assist with a problem, please check:

  • The mains distribution board for tripped circuit breakers.
  • The wall switch is on.

Remember that you may be charged for a service call even during the warranty period if the fault is due to or caused by any of the above.
