• Never try to extinguish a fire with water! When the oil has caught fire, immediately cover the pot or pan with a lid. Switch off the hob if safe to do so and phone the fire service.
• Before frying foods, always dry them well and gently place them into the hot oil. Ensure complete thawing of frozen foods before frying.
• Do not cover the pot or pan you use when heating oil.
• Place the pans and saucepans in a manner so that their handles are not over the hob to prevent heating of the handles. Do not place unbalanced and easily tilting cooking vessels on the hob.
• Do not place empty pots and saucepans on cooking zones that are switched on. They might get damaged.
• Operating a cooking zone without a pot, pan or saucepan on it will cause damage to the appliance. Turn off the cooking zones after cooking is complete.
• As the surface of the appliance can be hot, do not place plastic and aluminium vessels on it.
• Such vessels should not be used to keep food in either.
• Use flat-bottomed saucepans or cooking vessels only.
• Put only the appropriate amount of food in saucepans and pans. Doing so will assist in you not having to do any unnecessary cleaning as this will help prevent the dishes from overflowing.
• Do not put covers of saucepans or pans on the cooking zones.
• Place saucepans so that they are centred on the cooking zone. When moving the saucepan onto another cooking zone, lift and place it onto the cooking zone you want instead of sliding it.

Gas cooking
The size of the cooking vessel and the flame must be suited to each other. Adjust the gas flames so that they do not extend past the bottom of the cooking vessel and ensure that the cooking vessel is centered on the saucepan carrier.

Using the hobs

1. Rapid burner 14-20 cm
2. Semi rapid burner 14-20 cm
3. Wok burner 22-30 cm
4. Auxiliary burner 12-18 cm
5. Semi rapid burner 14-20 cm

Igniting the gas burners

• The large flame symbol indicates the highest cooking power and the small flame symbol indicates the lowest cooking power.
• In the turned-off position (top), gas is not supplied to the burners.
• Push the knob inwards and turn it counterclockwise to ignite.
• After the gas ignites, keep the knob pressed for 3-5 seconds more to engage the safety system.
• If the gas does not ignite after you press and release the knob, repeat the same procedure by keeping the knob pressed in for 15 seconds.

Turning off the gas burners
Turn the keep warm zone knob to the off (upper) position.

Gas shut-off safety system (in models with thermic component)
As a countermeasure against blow due to fluid overflows at burners or should the flame extinguish for whatever reason, the flow of gas to the burner will automatically be terminated.

1. Gas shut off safety

DANGER Risk of deflagration incase of unburned gas!
Do not press the knob for longer than 15 seconds if there was no ignition. Wait for one minute and then repeat the ignition process.

Wok burner
Wok burners help you to cook faster. Wok, which is particularly used in Asian kitchens, is a kind of deep and flat fry pan made of sheet metal. These are used to cook minced vegetables and meat n a short time using a strong flame.

Since meals are cooked using a strong flame and in a very short time, and as such fry-pans conduct heat rapidly and evenly, the nutritional value of the food is preserved and vegetables remain crispy. The wok burner can be used for regular saucepans too.

Fitting the burner caps

• Carefully align the hole in the burner body with the flame failure sensor.

• Gently lower the burner body into position.

• Centralise and level the burner cap onto the burner body. (The burner cap must be positioned so that it rests centrally on the burner body). Ensure that it is correctly seated. Refit the pot stands.

• Wrong centralizing of the burner caps may result in a flashback and cause burners to melt and deform. (After cleaning the burner cap ensure the cap is properly located on to the flame spreaders. See fitting burner caps).

• Wrong control of the gas valves: Gas valves must be controlled from 90° to 210° (or 160° according to the gas valve model) If the flame is set from 0° to 90° the burner will be below the minimum output and may result in a flashback and cause burners to melt and deform.

• The above user faults are not covered by the warranty.

Maintenance and care

General information
The service life of the appliance will extend and problems will decrease if the appliance is cleaned at regular intervals.

• Cleaning of the valves must only be carried out by a qualified Defy technician. i. e. The burner not functioning correctly.
• The condition of the gas hose and valve must be inspected for leaks every time the gas bottle is refilled.

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 appli-ance to cool down before you clean it.

• Clean the appliance thoroughly after each use. In this way, it will be easier to remove cooking residues and prevent these from burning during the next use.
• No special cleaning agents are required to clean the appliance. Use warm water with washing liquid, a soft cloth or a 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.
• 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.
• The surface may get damaged by some detergents or cleaning materials. Do not use aggressive detergents, cleaning powder/cream or any sharp objects.
• Do not use steam cleaners or a water jet 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 placing the saucepan carriers so that the burners are centred.

Glass-ceramic surfaces
Wipe the glass ceramic surface using a piece of cloth dampened with cold water in a manner so as not to leave any cleaning agent on it. Dry with a soft and dry cloth. Residues may cause damage on the glass ceramic surface when using the hob for the next time. Dried residues on the glass ceramic surface should under no circumstances be scraped with hook blades, steel wool or similar tools. Remove calcium stains (yellow stains) with a small amount of lime remover such as vinegar or lemon juice. You can also use suitable commercially available products. If the surface is heavily soiled, apply the cleaning agent on a sponge and wait until it is absorbed well. Then, clean the surface of the hob with a damp cloth.

Sugar-based foods such as thick cream and syrup must be cleaned promptly without waiting for the surface to cool down. Otherwise, the glass ceramic surface may be damaged permanently. Slight colour fading may occur on coatings or other surfaces in time. This will not affect the operation of the product. Colour fading and stains on the glass ceramic surface are a normal condition and not a defect.

Cleaning the control panel
Clean the control panel and knobs with a damp cloth and wipe them dry.

• Do not remove the control buttons/knobs to clean the control panel. The control panel may get damaged!
  1. Knob
  2. Sealing element

Gas Jet Cleaning Procedure

• Every six months the gas jets on your hob should be cleaned to ensure continued efficient and safe operation.
• This may be done using a Gas Jet Cleaning Kit which may be purchased from your nearest Defy Service Centre.
• The kit comprises a sliding T-bar (A) a socket (B) and a ‘Classic pin’ (C).
• Fit the T-bar to the socket and remove the pot stands, burner caps and burner bodies.

1. Insert the socket into the central tube of the burner so that it is located over the brass gas jet at the bottom of the tube.
2. Gently loosen the brass gas jet by turning the socket in an anti-clockwise direction.
3. Carefully lift the socket and loosen the brass gas jet from the central burner tube.
4. Insert the Classic pin into the central hole of the jet and slide it up and down until the jet is free of accumulated dirt.
5. Re-assemble in reverse order.
6. Clean all the burner jets in the manner described above.
