6 Maintenance and care
General information
The service life of the appliance will extend
and problems will decrease if the appliance
is cleaned at regular intervals.
•
Cleaning of the valves must only be
carried out by a qualified Defy technician.
i.e. Burner not functioning correctly.
•
The condition of the gas hose and valve
must be inspected for leaks every time the
gas bottle is re-filled.
•
Clean the appliance thoroughly after each
use. In this way it will be easier to remove
cooking residues and prevent these from
burning during next use.
•
No special cleaning agents are required
for cleaning the appliance. Use warm
water with washing liquid, a soft cloth or
sponge to clean the product and wipe it
with a dry cloth.
•
Always ensure any excess liquid is
thoroughly wiped off after cleaning and
any spillage is immediately wiped dry.
•
Do not use cleaning agents that contain
acid or chloride to clean the stainless or
inox surfaces and the handle. Use a soft
cloth with a liquid detergent (not abrasive)
to wipe those parts clean, paying attention
to sweep in one direction.
2. Clean the hob.
3. Install the burner caps and make sure that
they are seated correctly.
4. When installing the upper grills, pay
attention to place the saucepan carriers
so that the burners are centered.
DANGER Risk of electric shock!
Switch off the electricity before
cleaning the appliance to avoid
an electric shock.
DANGER Hot surfaces may
cause burns!
Allow the appli-
ance to cool down before you
clean it.
Sugar-based foods such as thick
cream and syrup must be cleaned
promptly without waiting the
surface to cool down. Otherwise,
glass ceramic surface may be
damaged permanently.
Glass ceramic surfaces
Wipe the glass ceramic surface using a
piece of cloth dampened with cold water in a
manner as not to leave any cleaning agent
on it. Dry with a soft and dry cloth. Residues
may cause damage on the glass ceramic
surface when using the hob for the next
time. Dried residues on the glass ceramic
surface should under no circumstances be
scraped with hook blades, steel wool or
similar tools. Remove calcium stains (yellow
stains) by a small amount of lime remover
such as vinegar or lemon juice. You can also
use suitable commercially available
products. If the surface is heavily soiled,
apply the cleaning agent on a sponge and
wait until it is absorbed well. Then, clean the
surface of the hob with a damp cloth.
Slight color fading may occur on coatings or
other surfaces in time. This will not affect the
operation of the product. Color fading and
stains on the glass ceramic surface is a
normal condition, and not a defect.
Cleaning the control panel
Clean the control panel and knobs with a
damp cloth and wipe them dry.
Do not remove the control
buttons/knobs to clean the control
panel. Control panel may get
damaged!
The surface may get damaged by
some detergents or cleaning
materials. Do not use aggressive
detergents, cleaning powder/
cream or any sharp objects.
Do not use steam cleaners or a
water jet for cleaning.
