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.
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 towards the back of the
grill. This is the hottest area and
fatty food may catch fire.

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 po-
sition 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. Posi-
tion 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 thermo-
stat and the selector switch must be returned
to the "0" position in an anti-clockwise direc-
tion.
