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 will
conserve energy and minimise spillage.
• Thermal shock could damage the plates.
Do not put cold pots on very hot plates.
Cleaning
Do not use a steam cleaner.
Cleaning the Exterior
• Switch off the electrical supply to the
stove before cleaning any part of it
• Use a damp soapy cloth and avoid the use
of abrasive powders and scouring pads.
Cleaning the O en
• Switch off the electrical supply to the
stove before cleaning any part of it.
• Use a hot, soapy damp cloth to clean any
part of the oven. Stubborn stains may
require the use of a nylon scrubbing brush
and a liquid cleaner. Do not use metal
scouring pads or abrasive cleaners.
Element and guard
• After cleaning the oven, ensure that the
oven element is securely clipped into the
hook of the element guard. Failure to
observe this will allow the element to rest
on and damage the oven enamel.
Caring f r s lid plates
• To prevent 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.
• 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.
Note:
• The warranty does not cover the
replacement or repair of rusted or
corroded solid plates. It is the owners
responsibility to care for them as
described above.
S lid plates
• Before using the plates for the first time,
switch them on for four minutes at the
highest setting so that the factory applied
protective coating can burn in.
• The markings around the plate control
knobs represent the following heat
settings:
• 1 = Warming.
• 2 = Slow simmer.
• 3 = Simmer.
• 4 = Medium heat.
• 5 = High heat
• 6 = Boiling and frying.
• Some plates are fitted with stainless steel
trim rings. Over time and when exposed
to heat, these may discolour.
• egular use of a cleaner labelled
“Suitable for Stainless Steel” will restore
the original sparkle.
• Use hot soapy water to clean the plates,
supports, trims and under-cups. If
necessary use a nylon bristle brush to
remove stubborn dirt.
• Wipe dry and re– fit the plates, supports,
trims and under-cups.

Safety advice
This section contains safety instructions that
will help you avoid risk of injury and
damage. All warranties will become void if
you do not follow these instructions.
General safety
• This appliance is not intended for use by
persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they ha e been gi en
super ision or instruction concerning
the use of the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety.
• Children should be super ised to ensure
that they do not play with the appliance.
• Connect the appliance to an earthed outlet/
line protected by a fuse of suitable
capacity. Have the earth installation made
by a qualified electrician. Our company
shall not be liable for any problems arising
due to the appliance not being earthed in
accordance with the local regulations.
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be
replaced by the manufacturer, its service
agent or similar qualified persons in order
to avoid a hazard.
• Do not operate the appliance if it is
defective or has any visible damage.
• Do not carry out any repairs or
modifications on the appliance.
• Never wash down the appliance with
water! There is the risk of electric shock!
• Never use the appliance when your
judgment or coordination is impaired by
the use of alcohol and/or drugs.
• The appliance must be disconnected from
the mains during installation, maintenance,
cleaning and repair procedures.
• Be careful when using alcoholic drinks in
your dishes. Alcohol evaporates at high
temperatures and may cause a fire since it
can ignite when it comes into contact with
hot surfaces.
• Do not heat closed tins and glass jars in the
oven. The pressure that would build up in
the tin/jar may cause it to burst.
• Do not place baking trays, dishes or
aluminium foil directly onto the bottom of
the oven. The heat accumulation might
damage the bottom of the oven.
• Keep all ventilation slots clear of
obstructions.
• The appliance may be hot when it is in
use. Never touch the hot burners, inner
sections of the oven, heaters etc.
• Always use heat resistant oven gloves
when putting in or removing dishes from
the hot oven.
• Do not use the appliance with the front
door glass removed or cracked.
• The rear surface of the oven gets hot when
it is in use. Make sure that the gas/
electrical connection does not come into
contact with the rear surface as
connections may get damaged.
• Do not trap the mains cable between the
oven door and frame and do not route it
over hot surfaces as the cable insulation
may melt and cause a fire as a result of a
short circuit.
• Make sure that the function knobs are
switched off after every use.
• When using Gas, ensure that the room is
well ventilated.
• Always keep children and infirm persons
away from the appliance when it is in use.
• Only use the appliance for preparing food.
• Use a deep pan, large enough to cover the
appropriate burner.
• Always dry food thoroughly before
placing it in hot oil or fat. Frozen food in
particular will spit and splatter if added too
quickly.
• Never fill the pan more than one third full
of fat or oil.
• Never heat fat or fry with a lid on the pan.
• Do not fry too much food at once. This
lowers the temperature of the oil or fat and
results in fatty foods.
• Do not leave hot fat or oil unattended. If
overheating occurs, these could catch fire.
• Do not store flammable items in the oven.
• Always keep the oven door gasket clean.
