If you do not have the original carton, pack the appliance in bubble wrap or thick cardboard and tape it securely. To prevent the wire grill and tray inside the oven from damaging the oven door, place a strip of cardboard onto the inside of the oven door that lines up with the position of the trays. Tape the oven door to the side walls. Secure the caps and pan supports with adhesive tape. Do not use the door or handle to lift or move the appliance.
Smell and smoke may emit during the first heating. This is not a fault and is quite normal and is due to any production residues or layers being burnt off and removed. Ensure that the room is well ventilated.
 Cook more than one dish one after another. The
oven will already be hot.
 Save energy by switching off your oven a few
minutes before the end of the cooking time. Do not open the oven door.
 Defrost frozen dishes before cooking them.  Use pots and pans with covers for cooking. If there
is no cover, energy consumption may increase by 4 times.
 Select the burner which is suitable for the bottom
size of the pot that is to be used. Always select the correct pot size for your dishes. Larger pots require more energy.
Wrong centralizing of the burner caps may result in a flash back and cause burners to melt and deform. (After cleaning the burner cap ensure the cap is properly located on to the flame spreaders. See fitting burner caps).
Wrong control of the gas valves: Gas valves must be controlled from 90° to 210° (or 160° according to the gas valve model) If flame is set from 0° to 90° the burner will be below the minimum output and may result in a flash back and cause burners to melt and deform.
The above user faults are not covered by the warranty.

5 Using the hob
General information about cooking
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.
 Before frying foods, always dry them well and
gently place into the hot oil. Ensure complete thawing of frozen foods before frying.
 Do not cover the pot or pan being used when
heating oil.
 Place the pans and saucepans in a manner so that
their handles are not over the hob to prevent heating of the handles. Do not place unbalanced and easily tilting cooking vessels on the hob.
 Do not place empty pots or saucepans on cooking
zones that are switched on to prevent damage.
 Operating a cooking zone without a pot, pan or
saucepan on it may damage the appliance. Turn off the cooking zones after cooking is complete.
 As the surface of the appliance can be hot, do not
place plastic and aluminum vessels on it.
 Plastic and aluminum vessels should not be used
to keep foods in.
 Use flat bottomed saucepans or cooking vessels.  Place only the appropriate amount of food in
saucepans and pans. Doing so will assist with not having to do any unnecessary cleaning as this will help prevent the dishes from overflowing.
 Do not put covers of saucepans or pans on the
cooking zones.
 Place saucepans so that they are centered on the
cooking zone. When moving the saucepan onto another cooking zone, lift and place it onto the other cooking zone instead of sliding it.
Gas cooking
 The size of the cooking vessel and the flame must
be suited to each other. Adjust the gas flames so that they do not extend past the bottom of the cooking vessel and ensure that the cooking vessel is centered on the saucepan carrier.
Important! See cooking information table on page 4 for cooking vessel sizes. The large flame symbol indicates the highest cooking power and small flame symbol indicates the lowest cooking power. In the turned off position (top), gas is not supplied to the burners.
Igniting the gas burners
Burner is equipped with automatic ignition.
1.Keep the burner knob pressed in.
2.Turn it counter clockwise to the large flame symbol.
3.Ignite the hob by pressing the automatic ignition switch on the right hand side of the control panel.
4.Adjust it to the desired cooking power.

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 scalding by hot steam! Take care when opening the oven door as steam may escape.
Tips for baking
 Use non-sticky coated appropriate metal plates or
aluminum vessels or heat resistant silicone moulds.
 Make best use of the space on the rack.  Place the baking mould in the middle of the shelf.  Select the correct rack position before turning the
oven on. Do not change the rack position when the oven is hot.
 Keep the oven door closed.
Tips for roasting
 Treating whole chicken, turkey and large pieces of
meat with dressings such as lemon juice and black pepper before cooking will increase the cooking performance.
 It takes about 15 to 30 minutes longer to roast
meat with bones when compared to roasting the same size of meat without bones.
 Each centimeter of meat thickness requires
approximately 4 to 5 minutes of cooking time.
 Let meat rest in the oven for about 10 minutes
after the cooking time is over. The juice is better distributed all over the roast and does not run out when the meat is cut.
 Fish should be placed on the middle or lower rack
in a heat-resistant plate.
General information on baking & roasting
6 How to operate the oven
Closed vessels will preserve the juice of the dish. If a vegetable dish does not get cooked, boil the vegetables beforehand or prepare them like canned food and put in the oven.
Tips for cooking vegetables
If the vegetable dish runs out of juice and gets too dry, cook it in a pan with a lid instead of a tray.
Bottom element only: Selecting only the bottom element and setting the thermostat at the lowest temperature, allows the oven to be used as an additional warming space, should the warming drawer be fully utilised. Top element only: Selecting only the top element assists in gentle defrost.
Grill: Select the grill function for conventional grilling. Note: All ovens extract moisture from the food being
cooked, especially so during the winter months. This is normal and not detrimental to the food or the oven.

switch on and off as the thermostat maintains the selected temperature.
 After baking is completed, the thermostat and
the selector knob must be turned to the "0"position in an anti clockwise direction.
 Note: The oven thermostat is marked down to
70°C. When set to this position, the oven may be used as a warmer.
Baking Guide:
 Where possible, bake on the middle shelf position
of the oven.
 Place the food halfway between the back of the
oven and the door.
 Do not open the oven door until at least two thirds
of the baking time has lapsed.
 The roast pan must not be used for baking
purposes.
Page 19
 For best baking results use an aluminium bake
tray (380mm x 260mm x 30mm). These are available from all Defy Parts Centres. Part number 067610.
 Teflon coated baking trays are not
recommended. Grilling  The oven door must remain partially open
(approx. 80 mm) during grilling.
 Both the wire shelf and roast pan may be used for
grilling.  The roast pan may also be used as a drip tray
under the wire shelf.  Position the shelf in the desired position below the
grill element.  Set the selector switch and oven thermostat to
their respective Grill positions.
 The thermostat indicator light will glow.  Pre-heat the grill element for about 5 minutes.  Partially withdraw the shelf and place the food in
the centre of the shelf.  Slide the shelf back into position and partially
close the door.
 Monitor the grilling to avoid burning the food.
 After grilling is completed, the oven thermostat
and the selector switch must be returned to the
"0" position in an anti-clockwise direction. Warning Accessible parts may become hot when grilling. Always use oven gloves when handling food in the oven and keep children well away from the stove when it is in use.
