2 Important safety instructions

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

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.

 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.
However, some issues may
remedied that do not require
any repairs or modifications.
See Troubleshooting.

 Never use the appliance when

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

 Keep all ventilation slots clear

of obstructions.

 Do not use the appliance with

the front door glass removed or
cracked.

 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 any flammable

materials close to the appliance
as the sides may become hot
during use.

 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.

 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.

 Make sure that the function

knobs are switched off after
every use.

 Always keep children and infirm

persons away from the
appliance when it is in use.

 Do not use or store inflammable

products (alcohol, petrol,
benzene etc.) near the
appliance as these pose a fire
risk.

Page 6



Electrical and/or gas products
are dangerous to children. Keep
children away from the
appliance when it is operating
and do not allow them to play
with the appliance.

 Accessible parts of the

appliance will become hot whilst
the appliance is in use. Children
must be kept away until the
appliance has cooled down.

 "CAUTION: Accessible parts

may be hot when the grill is in
use. Young children should be
kept away."

 When the door is open, do not

load any heavy object on it and
do not allow children to sit on it.
It may overturn or the door
hinges may be damaged.

 The packaging materials are a

danger for children. Keep the
packaging materials away from
children. Please ensure that the
packaging material is disposed
of in a responsible manner.

 The rear surface of the oven

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

 When using Gas, ensure that

the room is well ventilated.

 Ventilation is vital for the

efficient performance of all
appliances and for the safety of
the occupants of the room in
which the appliance is installed.

 Use a deep pan, large enough

to cover the appropriate burner.

 Always dry food properly 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.

Safety for children

 Packaging materials are

dangerous to children. Keep
packaging materials in a safe
place out of reach of children.

 Do not place any items above

the appliance that children may
reach for.

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.

 Installation and connection

must be in accordance with
current installation regulations.

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.

CAUTION: 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).
Prolonged intensive use of the
appliance may call for additional
ventilation, for example
increasing the level of the
mechanical ventilation where
present.

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.

IMPORTANT: If the gas
type of the appliance is
changed, then 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.

 Particular attention must be

given to relevant requirements
regarding ventilation; See
Before installation.

 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.

 Request information about gas

emergency telephone numbers
and safety measures from your
local gas provider in case of a
gas smell .

Page 8

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.

Intended use

This appliance is designed for
domestic use. Commercial use
will void the warrantee.
CAUTION: This appliance is for
cooking purposes only. It must
not be used for other purposes.
This appliance must not be used
for warming plates under the grill,
drying towels, dish cloths etc. by
hanging them on the oven door
handles. This product should also
not be used for room heating
purposes. The manufacturer shall
not be liable for any damage
caused by improper use or
handling errors.

Ventilation

 Room ventilation is vital for the

efficient performance of the
appliance and for the safety of
the occupants in the room in
which the appliance is installed.

Action to be taken 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.

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.
