• Clean your appliance regularly. This
will prolong it's good looks and
enhance hygiene levels.
• Use flat bottomed pots and pans when
cooking on the hotplates. This will
maximise efficiency and reduce
electricity costs.
• Keep children well away from the
cooking appliance. Explain the dangers
to them. Being safety conscious is being
safe, not sorry.
• Supervise the cooking process.
Overcooked or spoiled food is wasteful.
• Leave about a 40mm. air gap between
baking tins and the oven walls.
Adequate air circulation is important
for good baking results.
• Get into the habit of wearing oven
gloves when handling utensils in a hot
oven. This will help to avoid accidental
burns.
•
••
• Partly slide out the oven shelf before
removing hot dishes from the oven.
This will prevent accidental contact
with the hot oven sides.
Do
Don’t
• Use pots which are smaller than the
hotplate diameter. This wastes
electricity and allows the pot handles
to overheat.
• Leave the appliance unattended
especially when grilling. This is good
practice and avoids accidents.
• Use abrasive cleaning materials. They
will scratch surfaces and fascia
graphics.
• Allow fat splashes to dry and bake
onto the stove/oven surface before
cleaning them. It is easier to clean
spills while they are still slightly warm
and soft.
• Put baking tins on the floor of the
oven. This will prevent heat
circulation and spoil baking results.
• Use the appliance to heat the home.
Neither the hotplates nor the oven
were designed for this purpose and
damage could occur.
• Allow pot handles to overhang the
front of the appliance. Children might
be tempted to grab them with harmful
consequences.
OVER THE YEARS, DEFY'S SERVICE CENTRES HAVE IDENTIFIED THIS LIST OF DO'S AND
DON'TS AS BEING IMPORTANT FOR CUSTOMER SATISFACTION AND SAFETY. PLEASE
READ IT AND FAMILIARISE YOURSELF WITH ITS CONTENTS.
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.
