7 Maintenance and care
General information
The service life of the appliance will extend
and the possibility of problems will decrease
if the appliance is cleaned regularly.
x If required, cleaning of the valves should
only be carried out by a qualified Defy
technician. i.e. Burner not functioning
correctly.
x Wash removable burner parts weekly with
hot water and detergent.
x Remove any encrustations and ensure
that the burner holes are clear.
x The condition of the gas hose and valve
should be inspected for leaks every time
the gas bottle is re-filled.
DANGER Risk of electric shock!
Switch off the electricity before
cleaning the appliance to avoid
an electric shock.
DANGER Hot surfaces may
cause burns! Allow the appliance
to cool down before you clean it.
x Clean the appliance thoroughly after each
use. In this way it will be possible to
remove cooking residues more easily, thus
avoiding these from burning the next time
the appliance is used.
x No special cleaning agents are required
for cleaning the appliance. Use warm
water with washing liquid, a soft cloth or
sponge to clean the appliance and wipe it
with a dry cloth.
x Always ensure any excess liquid is
thoroughly wiped off after cleaning and
any spillage is immediately wiped dry.
x Never use high-pressure steam equipment
or a water jet for cleaning.
x Do not use cleaning agents that contain
acid or chloride to clean the stainless or
inox surfaces and the handle. Use a soft
cloth with a liquid detergent (not abrasive)
to wipe those parts clean, paying attention
to sweep in one direction.
x Never use cleaning products containing
abrasive materials as these could damage
the decorative and informative paint
applications.
