Introduction.

• Congratulations on the purchase of this quality product.
• We trust that you will enjoy many years of trouble free use.
• Please read these instructions carefully before use as they will provide you with infor- mation on how to operate and care for your hob in order that you gain the maximum benefit from it.

Unpacking.

• Please ensure that packaging material is disposed of in a responsible manner.
• Plastic bags should be cut up to prevent children playing with them and accidentally suffocating.
•  If the appliance is damaged in any way, do not use it. Report the damage to your dealer, who will take the necessary corrective action.

Positioning.

• Good room ventilation is vital for the efficient performance of the appliance and for the safety of the occupants in the room in which the appliance is installed.
• Cooking appliances generate considerable heat. The layout and materials of the sur- rounding cabinets should take account of these characteristics.
• Surfaces of cabinets immediately adjacent to the hob should be able to withstand temperatures of up to 100° C without delaminating or discolouring.
• Allow an unrestricted air space of at least 150mm at the sides and 750mm above the hob.
• The hob should be installed in a ventilated cupboard fitted with a sturdy worktop and must be secured using the fixing brackets provided.
• Invert the hob on the worktop adjacent to the aperture before making the electrical connection. This will ensure sufficient cable length for subsequent servicing.
• Aperture dimensions are given below.

The control panel.

Operating the burners

• To switch a burner on, push down slightly on the relevant control knob and then turn  it to the left ( counter — clockwise ) The large flame symbol on the knob indicates the maximum and the small flame the lowest setting.
• The gas will then be lit automatically.
• Release the knob 3 to 5 seconds after the flame is observed at the burner.
• If the flame fails to continue buming, please repeat the sequence.

Important.
Flame failure —safety cut out.

• Should the flame extinguish for whatever reason, the flow of gas to the burner will automatically be terminated.

Action to be taken in the event of a burn back.

• In the event of a burn back ( where the flame bums back into the jet ) immediately turn off the control to the affected bumer.
• Wait a few minutes and relight the bumer in the normal manner.
• If the bumn back occurs again, turn off the control knob to the affected bumer, and consult the nearest Defy Service Centre, who will advise you .

Ventilation.

• Room ventilation is vital for the efficient performance of the appliance and for the safety of the occupants in the room in which the appliance is installed.

Maintenance and servicing.

• Every twelve months the hob 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 Dety 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.

Fitting the burner caps.

• Carefully align the 2 holes in the aluminium burner cap body with the ignition electrode and the flame failure sensor.
• Gently lower the burner cap into position with the cut-out over the spigot in the burner cap body.
• Centralise and level the burner cap cover onto the burner cap.

Minimum flame adjustment

• Remove the push-on-type knobs.
• Light the bumers and adjust the minimum flame by tumning the adjustment screw clockwise to decrease  or anticlockwise to increase the flame.

Important safety advice.

• When using gas, ensure that the room is well ventilated.
• Always keep children and infirm persons away from the product when it is in use.
• Only use the hob for preparing food and use a deep pan, large enough to cover the appropriate burner.
• Always dry food thoroughly before placing it in hot oil or fat. Frozen food in particular will spit and splatter if added too quickly.
• Never fill the pan more than one third full of fat or oil and never heat fat or fry with a lid on the pan.
• Do noat once. This lowers the temperature of the oil or fat and results t fry too much food in fatty foods.
• Do not leave hot fat or oil unattended. If overheating occurs, these could catch fire.

In the event of a pan fire…..

• Bums and injuries are usually caused by picking up the buming pan and rushing out- side with it.
• Do NOT use water to extinguish an oil or fat fire.
• Switch off the electrical and gas supplies.
• Smother the flames with a blanket or damp cloth.

Cleaning.
General:

• Switch the electricity off at the wall socket and remove the plug before attempting any cleaning operation.
• Allow the burners to cool down before cleaning.
• Never use sharp instruments, abrasive cleaners. chemical sprays, wire wool, acid or chlorine based cleaners or steam cleaners on any part of the hob.

Exterior:

• The pot supports on the hob may be removed to allow easy access to the hob panel.
• Wash the exterior, pot supports and burner caps with hot soapy water,
• Rinse and dry.
• Acidic spills such as lemon juice, should be cleaned as soon as possible as these tend to etch into metals if left unattended.
• Never wash the burner caps in a dishwasher.

Control panel:

• Do not use oven cleaners, aerosols, scouring pads or abrasive cleaners.
• Wipe the control panel with a damp cloth and dry with a dry lint free cloth.
• Do not attempt to remove any of the control knobs.

Stainless Steel model

• Frequent cleaning is recommended rather than an occasional aggressive clean.
• Routine cleaning will preserve the corrosion resistance and appearance of the stainless steel for many years.
• Clean the stainless steel as often as necessary (when noticeably dull or dirty) and use the simplest cleaning method that will effectively do the job.
• Use clean water, or a mild detergent solution applied with a soft cloth or sponge. Rinse well and wipe dry.

Care guide for Stainless Steel model

cloth.
Rinse and wipe dry.| If possible use warm to hand-hot water. A 5% addition of ammonia is beneficial.
Finger prints| Pre-treat fmger marks with alcohol or an organic solvent.
Follow immediately with routine cleaning.
Wipe with a little baby oil and a soft lint free cloth.
Buff to shine| Minimize re-occurrence by apply-ing a wax or silicone based house-hold polish to the clean dry surface.
Apply whenever necessary
Stubborn stains and
discolouration| Use a little Ceran cleaning paste. (available from Defy Service Centres). Rinse and dry.| Repeat several times rather than resorting to a single
aggressive cleaning method
Grease and fat splatter.| Wipe off excess with a soft cloth or paper towel. Use a water borne degreasing agent ( dishwashing liquid ).Follow up by routine cleaning.|
Scratches on the brushed finish.| For slight scratches, use a nylon pad loaded with an iron free abra- sive polishing compound. Rub in the direction of the original texture. Follow up with routine cleaning. For deep scratches use a coarser abrasive initially and follow up as for light scratches,| Deep scratches will be difficult to remove completely. Do not use steel wool or metal scourers unless they are made from stainless steel.

It must be appreciated that some of the above suggested procedures will alter the surface appearance of the treated area.
They should therefore only be applied with due consideration and care.
