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 at regular
intervals.
Service intervals
• Every twelve months the appliance should
be serviced by a Defy Service agent to
ensure continued efficient and safe
operation.
• Note: If required, the cleaning of the
valves should only be carried out by a
qualified Defy technician. i.e. Burner not
functioning correctly.
• Removable burner parts should be
washed weekly with hot water and
detergent.
• Take care to remove any encrustations
and ensure that the burner holes are
clear.
• 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.
• 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.
• No special cleaning agents are required
for cleaning the appliance. Use warm
water with washing liquid, a soft cloth or
sponge to clean the product and wipe it
with a dry cloth.
• Always ensure any excess liquid is
thoroughly wiped off after cleaning and
any spillage is immediately wiped dry.
• Never use high-pressure steam equipment
or a water jet for cleaning.
• Do not use cleaning agents that contain
acid or chloride to clean the stainless or
inox surfaces and the handle.
The surface may be damaged by
some detergents or cleaning
materials. Do not use aggressive
detergents, cleaning powder/cream
or any sharp objects.
Do not use steam cleaners for
cleaning.
Cleaning the hob
Gas hobs
1. Remove and clean the saucepan carriers
and burner caps.
2. Clean the hob.
3. Install the burner caps and make sure that
they are seated correctly.
4. When installing the upper grills, pay
attention to place the saucepan carriers
so that the burners are centered.
Cleaning the control panel
Clean the control panel and knobs with a
damp cloth and wipe them dry.
Use a soft cloth with a liquid detergent
(not abrasive) to wipe those parts clean,
paying attention to sweep in one direction.
• Never use cleaning products containing
abrasive materials as these could damage
the decorative and informative paint
applications.
• Remove the burners and wipe them with
a thin damp cloth or a non-abrasive
sponge. Use a neutral detergent. Dry
afterward with a soft cloth and blow away
any residual water in the gas outlet holes.
Damage of the control panel!
Do not remove the control knobs
for control panel cleaning.
Cleaning the oven / oven door
To clean the oven door, use warm water with
washing liquid, a soft cloth or sponge to
clean the appliance and wipe it with a dry
cloth.
Don't use any harsh abrasive
cleaners or sharp metal scrapers
for cleaning the oven door. They
could scratch the surface and
destroy the glass
