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. Fumes will be evidenced during this operation but this is normal.

•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.
