SOLID PLATES
Before using the plates for the first time, switch them on for four minutes at the highest setting. This allows the factory applied protective coating to burn in.
The markings around the plate control knobs represent the following heat settings: Position 1 = Warming. 2 = Slow simmer. 3 = Simmer. 4 = Medium heat.
5 = High heat 6 = Boiling and frying.
SOLID PLATE CARE
•Use only good quality
•Any spillage should be wiped off as soon as possible with a damp cloth.
•A nylon brush may be used to clean badly soiled plates
•Periodically wipe the plate with sewing machine oil or electrical hotplate polish (available from Defy Service Centres) to prevent them from corroding.
•Do not leave plates wet after cleaning them, but switch them on briefly to dry them.
•NOTE: The warranty does not cover the replacement or repair of rusted or corroded solid plates. It is therefore the owner’s responsibility to care for them as described above.
CLEANING
•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 or the exterior of the stove.
•Stubborn stains may require the use of a nylon scrubbing brush and a liquid cleaner.
•Avoid using abrasive powders or caustic cleaners.
•Do not use metal scouring pads or sharp metal objects to clean any part of the stove.
ELEMENT GUARD
After cleaning the oven, ensure that the oven element is securely clipped into the hook of the element guard. Failure to observe this precaution will allow the element to rest on and damage the oven enamel.
