DANGER.
Risk of explosion
and poisoning! Put out all naked
flames and do not smoke, strike
matches or do anything that
could cause ignition.
Do not
operate any electric switches
(e.g. light switch, TV, computer,
cooker or door bell). Do not use a
telephone or mobile phone.
•
The use of gas cooking appliances results
in the production of heat and moisture in
the room in which it is installed. Ensure
that the kitchen is well ventilated: keep
natural ventilation holes open or install a
mechanical ventilation device (mechanical
extractor hood).
•
Gas appliances and systems must be
regularly checked for proper functioning.
The regulator, hose and its clamp must be
checked regularly and replaced within the
periods recommended by its manufacturer
or when necessary.
•
Clean the gas burners regularly. The
flames should be blue and burn evenly.
•
Good combustion is required in gas
appliances. In case of incomplete
combustion, carbon monoxide (CO) might
develop. Carbon monoxide is a
colourless, odourless and very toxic gas,
which has a lethal effect even in very
small doses.
Safety when working with gas
•
Any work carried out on gas equipment
and systems may only be done by
authorised qualified persons who are
registered LPG Gas installers.
•
Prior to installation, ensure that the local
distribution conditions (nature of the gas
and gas pressure) and the adjustment of
the appliance are compatible.
In the event of a pan fire
•
Switch off the Gas supply.
•
Smother the flames with a blanket or
damp cloth.
•
Burns and injuries are usually caused by
picking up the burning pan and rushing
outside with it.
•
Do NOT use water to extinguish an oil or
fat fire.
If you smell gas
•
Turn off all valves on gas appliances and
gas meter at the main control valve,
unless it's in a confined space or cellar.
•
Extinguish all naked flames.
•
Do not operate any electrical appliances.
•
Ventilate the area. Open doors and
windows.
•
Check for leaks. Check all tubes and
connections for tightness.
•
If odour persists contact your nearest
Defy Service Centre for assistance.
•
If you still smell gas leave the property.
•
Warn the neighbors.
•
Call the fire-brigade. Use a telephone
outside the house.
•
If you have door or gates that are secured
by an electric lock, or entry phone, please
open these manually.
•
Do not re-enter the property until you are
told it is safe to do so.
In the event of a burn back
•
In the event of a burn back (where the
flame burns back into the jet ) immediately
turn off the control to the affected burner.
•
Wait a few minutes and relight the burner
in the normal manner.
•
If the burn back occurs again, turn off the
control knob to the affected burner, and
consult the nearest Defy service
technician, who will advise you.
Gas and electrical connections
must be carried out by qualified
personnel in accordance with
current and local regulations.
Installations carried out by
unauthorized persons will void
the warranty.
IMPORTANT: If the gas type of
the appliance is changed, then
the rating plate that shows the
gas type of the unit must also be
changed. the sticker that is
currently on the rear of the
appliance that reads “Factory
adjusted for LPG gas” must be
replaced by the sticker “Adjusted
for natural gas”. The new sticker
is in the gas jet kit supplied with
the appliance.
