INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on the purchase of this quality appliance.
We, the manufacturer, trust that you will enjoy many years of trouble free use. Please
read these instructions carefully before using the oven. This book 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

• Please ensure that packaging material is disposed of in a responsible manner. Plastic

bags should be cut up to prevent children playing with them and accidentally
suffocating.

• Remove all packing from the oven cavity and position the accessories.

• 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.

CUPBOARD DESIGN

• 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.

• Gemini ovens exhaust through a vent in the upper part of the handle. The vent in the

lower part of the handle is an air intake.

• Gemini ovens are designed for installation with cupboard doors which provide at least

100mm. clearance alongside and above the oven. The overhanging worktop may be
subjected to heat as well as condensation if moist foods are being cooked.

• Note that the oven door is reversible and may hinge from the left or right. Consult the

nearest Defy Service Centre and they will advise the correct procedure.

INSTALLATION

Aperture

Hob fixing bracket

‘U’ SEAL FOR SOLID

PLATE HOB ONLY

• The hob should be installed in a ventilated cupboard fitted with a sturdy work-top and

must be secured using the fixing brackets provided.

• Place the oven on the floor in front of the aperture and make the electrical connection

before installing. This will ensure enough cable length for subsequent servicing.

• Lift off the top trim and unscrew the bottom trim. This will expose the fixing holes.

• Secure the oven to the cabinet using suitable screws. (Fasteners are not provided.)

• Replace the top and bottom trims.

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION

“This appliance must be earthed and the manufacturer and the seller do
not accept responsibility for any damage due to incorrect installation or
electrical connection.”

Earth leakage

This appliance should not be connected through an earth leakage system.
Refer to S.A.B.S. 0147.

Connection to the power supply must be carried out by a licensed electrician, who will
ensure that the oven is correctly connected and safely earthed. The rated current is printed
on the serial number label attached to the oven bottom trim.
The appliance must be connected to the mains through a double pole isolating switch
which has a minimum clearance between the contacts of 3 mm. in both poles.
A means for disconnection must be provided in the fixed wiring.

Hob to oven connection—Two 6 pin electrical plugs are used. (Refer to label on oven)

SAFETY ADVICE

• Only use the appliance for preparing food.

• Always keep children away from the appliance when it is in use.

• Do not leave hot fat or oil unattended. If overheating occurs, these could catch fire.

• Switch off the power at the mains in the event of a fault or when cleaning the

appliance.

• Do not store flammable items in the oven. If the oven is inadvertently switched on,
these could catch fire.

• Never cover the bottom oven element with aluminium foil. Cooking times will be
affected and the oven enamel could be damaged.

• Avoid spilling fruit juice, particularly citrus, on the appliance as it could damage the
enamel.

• Always keep the oven door gasket clean as this will enable the door to seal properly.
