SOLID PLATES
Before using the plates for the first time, switch them on for four minutes at the highest
setting. This allows the factory applied protective coating to burn in.
The markings around the plate control knobs represent the following heat settings:
Position 1 = Warming. 2 = Slow simmer. 3 = Simmer. 4 = Medium heat. 5 = High heat 6
= Boiling and frying.
The plate indicator light will glow when a plate is switched on.
SOLID PLATE CARE
• Use only good quality flat bottomed pots and ensure that the pot diameter is the same
as or slightly larger than the plate diameter. This will prevent any spillage from
dripping onto the plate itself.
• Any spillage should be wiped off as soon as possible with a damp cloth.
• A nylon brush may be used to clean badly soiled plates
• Periodically wipe the plate with sewing machine oil or electrical hotplate polish
(available from Defy Service Centres) to prevent them from corroding.
• Do not leave plates wet after cleaning them, but switch them on briefly to dry them.
• NOTE: The warranty does not cover the replacement or repair of rusted or corroded
solid plates. It is therefore the owners responsibility to care for them as described
above.
CLEANING
• Switch off the electrical supply to the stove before cleaning any part of it.
• Use a hot, soapy damp cloth to clean any part of the oven or the exterior of the stove.
• Stubborn stains may require the use of a nylon scrubbing brush and a liquid cleaner.
• Avoid using abrasive powders or caustic cleaners.
• Do not use metal scouring pads or sharp metal objects to clean any part of the stove.
STORAGE COMPARTMENT
This compartment may be used to store pots, pans and dishes
ELEMENT AND GUARD
After cleaning the oven, ensure that the oven element is
securely clipped into the hook of the element guard.
Failure to observe this precaution will allow the element
to rest on and damage the oven enamel.
