must be fitted as shown on page 3.

PAGE 2 OF16

The Anti-tilt bracket kit assembly comprises of:

A 2 x Anti-tilt brackets (stove)
B 2 x Anti-tilt brackets (wall)
C 6 x Securing bolts (4 short and 2 long)
D 4 x Hilti fasteners

• A is to be fitted at the rear of the stove on the left and right hand side using 2 securing

bolts C in the threaded holes provided. (2 short bolts per side).

• B is fitted to A by the securing bolt C (1 long bolt per side).

• Slightly loosen the securing bolt C to allow B to slide freely over A

• Position the stove and slide B to touch the wall behind the stove.

• Mark the two holes in B where they touch the wall behind the stove.

• Remove the stove and unfasten the bracket B.

• Using a 6.0 mm concrete bit, drill two holes at the marked positions.

Safety advice

This section contains safety instructions that
will help you avoid risk of injury and
damage. All warranties will become void if
you do not follow these instructions.

General safety

• This appliance is not intended for use by

persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning
the use of the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety. Children
should be supervised to ensure that they
do not play with the appliance.

• Connect the appliance to an earthed outlet/

line protected by a fuse of suitable
capacity. Have the earth installation made
by a qualified electrician. Our company
shall not be liable for any problems arising
due to the appliance not being earthed in
accordance with the local regulations.

• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be

replaced by the manufacturer, its service
agent or similar qualified persons in order
to avoid a hazard.

• Do not operate the appliance if it is

defective or has any visible damage.

• Do not carry out any repairs or

modifications on the appliance.

• Never wash down the appliance with

water! There is the risk of electric shock!

• Never use the appliance when your

judgment or coordination is impaired by
the use of alcohol and/or drugs.

• The appliance must be disconnected from

the mains during installation, maintenance,
cleaning and repair procedures.

• Be careful when using alcoholic drinks in

your dishes. Alcohol evaporates at high
temperatures and may cause a fire since it
can ignite when it comes into contact with
hot surfaces.

• Do not heat closed tins and glass jars in the

oven. The pressure that would build up in
the tin/jar may cause it to burst.

• Do not place baking trays, dishes or

aluminium foil directly onto the bottom of
the oven. The heat accumulation might
damage the bottom of the oven.

• Keep all ventilation slots clear of

obstructions.

• The appliance may be hot when it is in

use. Never touch the hot burners, inner
sections of the oven, heaters etc.

• Always use heat resistant oven gloves

when putting in or removing dishes from
the hot oven.

• Do not use the appliance with the front

door glass removed or cracked.

• The rear surface of the oven gets hot when

it is in use. Make sure that the gas/
electrical connection does not come into
contact with the rear surface as
connections may get damaged.

• Do not trap the mains cable between the

oven door and frame and do not route it
over hot surfaces as the cable insulation
may melt and cause a fire as a result of a
short circuit.

• Make sure that the function knobs are

switched off after every use.

• When using Gas, ensure that the room is

well ventilated.

• Always keep children and infirm persons

away from the appliance when it is in use.

• Only use the appliance for preparing food.

• Use a deep pan, large enough to cover the

appropriate burner.

• Always dry food thoroughly before

placing it in hot oil or fat. Frozen food in
particular will spit and splatter if added too
quickly.

• Never fill the pan more than one third full

of fat or oil.

• Never heat fat or fry with a lid on the pan.

• Do not fry too much food at once. This

lowers the temperature of the oil or fat and
results in fatty foods.

• Do not leave hot fat or oil unattended. If

overheating occurs, these could catch fire.

• Do not store flammable items in the oven.

• Always keep the oven door gasket clean.

Multifunction oven

The Defy multifunction oven features 6 distinct cooking functions. (described below)

These functions may be selected by turning the multifunction selector knob until the
required function symbol is displayed at the top of the knob bezel.

Symbol Function

1 Defrosting Only the fan is used. No heat is generated.

• In this mode the fan at the back of the oven will circulate

air at room temperature, substantially reducing the
defrosting period required for frozen food.

2 Static Oven The bottom and top heat elements are used

• Use the static oven mode for traditional baking and

roasting.

• Pre-heating of the oven is recommended

3 Fan Assisted Oven The fan plus the bottom and top heat
elements are used

• Use the fan assisted oven mode for traditional baking and

roasting where a more even heat distribution is required.

• Pre-heating of the oven is not necessary.

4 Thermofan Oven The fan plus the element surrounding
the fan is used

• Registered by Defy in 1978, Thermofan cooking differs

from conventional cooking in that it uses the principle of
forced convection within the oven.

The advantages are:

• Both baking trays may be used at the same time.

• Different dishes can be cooked simultaneously without

flavour or aroma transfer. Hence fish, meat and cakes can
be baked at the same time.

• The oven door may be opened any time for inspection

purposes without risk. By circulating hot air around the
food, spit-roast chickens may be done without using a
rotisserie. Cooking is done at slightly lower temperatures,
reducing splatter and electricity consumption.

5 Turbo Grill The fan plus the grill element are used

• This mode is recommended to reduce shrinkage when

grilling meat or fish.

6 Grill Only the grill element is used

• This mode is recommended for conventional grilling such

as toasted cheese sandwiches.
