Introduction

Cupboard design

Congratulations on the purchase of this quality appliance.

We trust that you will enjoy many years of trouble free use.

Please read these instructions carefully before using the appliance.

This manual will provide you with information on how to operate and care for your appliance in order that you gain the maximum benefit from it.

Unpacking

• Remove all packing from the oven

cavity and position the accessories.

• Ensure that packaging material is

disposed of in a responsible manner and that plastic bags are cut up to prevent children playing with them and accidentally suffocating.

• If the appliance is damaged in any way,

do not use it. Report the damage to your dealer, who will take the necessary corrective action.

• Your Defy oven is designed to give you

years of trouble free service, however it is important that it be correctly installed.

• Cooking appliances generate

considerable heat. The layout and materials of the mounting cabinet should take account of the characteristics of the oven.

• Surfaces immediately adjacent to the

oven should be able to withstand temperatures of up to 100°C without delaminating or discolouring.

• Overhanging doors above the oven may

be subjected to heat as well as condensation if very moist foods are being cooked.

Owner’s responsibility

Since the following are not factory faults, they are the owner’s responsibility.

• Damage to exterior finish.

• Breakage of glass and other

components.

• Replacement of the light bulb.

• Damage through improper use or

installation of the appliance.

• Damage caused by moving the

appliance.

WARNING: Under no circumstances should the bake element be covered with aluminium foil. Nor should a pan or tray be positioned directly above the bake element.

Doing so would reflect the heat from the bake element downwards. Heat to the oven would be restricted and overheating of the space below the element would result in damage to the oven enamel.

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.

Figures in this manual are schematic and may not match your appliance exactly.

DANGER

Risk of scalding by hot steam! Take care when opening the oven door as steam may escape.

• 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 or 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 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.

WARNING Hot surfaces may cause burns! Do not touch the hot surfaces of the appliance. Use oven gloves. Keep children away from the appliance.

DANGER Risk of fire by overheated oil! When heating oil, do not leave it unattended. Never try to extinguish a fire with water! When oil has caught fire, immediately cover the pot or pan with a lid. Switch off the hob if safe to do so and phone the fire service.
