• 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, return the multifunction selector and the oven thermostat to
the OFF position in an anticlockwise direction.
Baking guide
• Thermofan baking is done with the oven trays in
position. An unused tray should be kept in position
to facilitate proper airflow. Position 1 is
recommended for large roasts, position 2 for
roasting and baking and position 4 for baking.
• For small items the entire area of each tray may be
utilised. Larger items should be placed towards the
front of each 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.
5 TURBO GRILLING
The oven door must remain partially open ( about 50mm ) when turbo grilling.
Use only a wire shelf when grilling as the intense heat could warp the baking trays.
Turbo grilling is most suitable for meat as drying out
and shrinkage will be reduced.
• Ensure that the timer is set to manual.
• Set the multifunction selector to turbo grill.
• Set the oven thermostat to 230°C.
• Pre-heat the roast pan and grill rack for 5
minutes under the grill element to help seal the
meat.
• Place the food on the grill rack and place this on the wire shelf near to the grill
element.
• Monitor the grilling process to avoid burning the food.
• Care must be taken not to touch the grill element while handling food in the oven.
Withdraw the shelf to improve access.
• After completion, return the multifunction selector and the oven thermostat to
the OFF position in an anticlockwise direction.
