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.
Caring for solid plates
To prevent blotchy discolouration and corrosion,
moisture from spatters and spills should be
cleaned off immediately.
To clean the plate, wipe it 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 plate.
After cleaning, dry the plate by switching it 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.
Switch off the power at the mains
in the event of a fault or when
cleaning the appliance.
Cleaning the Oven
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.
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.
Note
The warranty does not cover the replacement or
repair of rusted or corroded solid plates. It is
therefore the owners responsibility to care for them
as described above.
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 precaution
will allow the element to rest on and damage the
oven enamel.
