      Ashley ScottAug 28, 2025
      Your Defy Cookers oven may not cook well if the oven door is opened frequently during cooking. Avoid opening the door often, especially if the food doesn't require turning, as this can cause the internal temperature to drop and affect cooking results.

      Your Defy Cookers oven might turn off during cooking due to too long continuous operation. Let the oven cool down after long cooking cycles. Also, avoid plugging more than one appliance into a single wall socket; use only one plug for each wall socket.

    • J
      John WolfSep 4, 2025
      If smoke comes out from your Defy Cookers oven, especially when operating it for the first time, it is likely from the heaters and is not a fault. It should stop after 2-3 cycles. Alternatively, there might be food on the heater. Allow the oven to cool down and then clean any food residues from the heater.
