3. The oven can be turned off manually during cooking by turning the Timer counterclockwise to the “0FF” position. If the inside of the oven is dirty, cooking may take slightly longer than usual.

DANGER
Risk of scalding by hot steam! Take care when opening the oven door as steam may escape.

Tips for saving energy
The following information will help you to use your appliance in an ecological way, and to save energy:

• Use dark-coloured or enamel-coated cookware in the oven since the heat transmission will be better.
• While cooking your dishes, perform a preheating operation if it is advised in the user manual or cooking instructions.
• Do not open the door of the oven frequently during cooking.
•  Try to cook more than one dish in the oven at the same time whenever possible. You can cook by placing two cooking vessels onto the wire shelf.
• Cook more than one dish one after another. The oven will already be hot.
• You can save energy by switching off your oven a few minutes before the end of the cooking time. Do not open the oven door.
• Defrost frozen dishes before cooking them.

Future Transportation

• Keep the appliances original carton and transport the appliance in it. Follow the instructions on the carton. If you do not have the original carton, pack the appliance in bubble wrap or thick cardboard and tape it securely.
• To prevent the wire grill and tray inside the oven from damaging the oven door, place a strip of cardboard onto the inside of the oven door that lines up with the position of the trays. Tape the oven door to the side walls.
• Do not use the door or handle to lift or move the appliance.

Tips for baking
Use non-sticky coated appropriate metal plates or aluminum vessels or heat- resistant silicone moulds. Make best use of the rack supports. Place the baking mould in the middle of the shelf.
Select the correct shelf position before switching the oven on. Do not change the shelf position when the oven is hot. Keep the oven door closed.

Tips for roasting
Treating whole chicken, turkey and large pieces of meat with dressings such as lemon juice and black pepper before cooking will increase the cooking performance. It takes about 15 to 30 minutes longer to
roast meat with bones when compared to roasting the same sized meat without bones. Each centimeter of meat thickness requires approximately 4 to 5 minutes of cooking time.
Leave meat in the oven for about 10 minutes after the cooking time is over. The juice is better distributed all over the roast and does not run out when the meat is cut.

Maintenance and care

General information

• Clean the appliance thoroughly after each use, making it easier to remove cooking residues and helps prevent these from burning on the next use of the appliance.
• Remove the plug and allow the cooker to cool down before cleaning.
• Wipe down the cabinet, door, control panel, trims and handle with a damp, hot soapy cloth.
• Use only liquid household cleaners and avoid abrasive powders, scouring pads and caustic cleaners.
• Rinse and wipe down with a clean cloth. Cleaning the oven
• Open the oven door and allow the oven to cool down.
• Clean the oven interior and exterior surface, tray, grid, with a damp, hot soapy, cloth.
• It may be necessary to soak burnt soils with a liquid cleaner to soften them before scrubbing them with a nylon brush or scouring sponge.
• Heavy soils on the bottom of the oven may require overnight soaking under a sponge liberally sprinkled with household ammonia. Remove the soil the following morning by washing normally, Then wash with clean water.
• Always ensure that 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 these parts clean, paying attention  qto sweep in one direction.

Do not use steam cleaners for cleaning, there is a risk of an electric shock.
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.
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 any harsh abrasive cleaners, hard brushes or sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven door and glass since they can scratch the surface, destroy the glass and could result in the glass shattering.

Caring for solid plates

• To prevent blotchy discoloration and corrosion, moisture from spatters and spills should be cleaned off immediately.
• To clean the plates, wipe with a damp cloth or nylon pad. A little liquid detergent may be used. Do not use metal scourers or sharp metal objects.
• After cleaning, dry the plates by switching them on for a short while.
• To prevent rust, periodically apply some, sewing machine oil or electrical hotplate polish – available from Defy spares. Extra attention is required in areas of high humidity or in close proximity to the sea.
• Use only pots with a solid level base. An uneven base can prolong cooking times and waste energy.
• Use pots with a base diameter slightly larger than the plate. This will ensure even heat distribution and prevent spillage from dripping onto and staining the hot plate.
• Always cover the pot with a lid. This will conserve energy and minimise spillage.
• Thermal shock could damage the plates. Do not put cold pots on very hot plates.

The warranty does not cover the replacement or repair of rusted or corroded solid plates. It is the owners responsibility to care for them as described above.
