CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

GENERAL CLEANING

For your safety wait until the stove has cooled down before cleaning.

Use only liquid household cleaners and avoid abrasive powders,scouring pads and caustic cleaners. Never use vinegar or lemon juice to remove blemishes.

Wipe down glass panels, cabinet, door, control knobs, trims and handles with a damp

soapy cloth. Rinse and dry with a clean, lint free cloth. Keep the dispersers, burners and gas injectors clean by removing spills as soon as possible.

CLEANING THE OVEN

Use a hot, soapy, damp cloth to clean the oven. Stubborn stains may require the use of a nylon pad or scrubbing brush and a liquid household cleaner. The shelf(s) may be removed to improve access.

DO NOT USE ABRASIVE POWDERS, CAUSTIC CLEANERS OR METAL SCOURING PADS.

Gas Jet Cleaning Procedure

Every six months the gas jets on your hob should be cleaned to ensure continued efficient and safe operation.

This may be done using a Gas Jet Cleaning Kit which may be purchased from your nearest Defy Service Centre.

The kit comprises of a sliding T-bar (A) a socket (B) and a ‘Classic pin’ (C).

Fit the T-bar to the socket and remove the pot stands, burner caps and burner bodies.

1.Insert the socket into the central tube of the burner so that it locates over the brass gas jet at the bottom of the tube.

2.Gently loosen the brass gas jet by turning the socket in a anti- clockwise direction.

3.Carefully lift the socket and loosened brass gas jet from the central burner tube.

4.Insert the Classic pin into central hole of the jet and slide it up and down until the jet is free of accumulated dirt.
