4 Position selector

• The selector is used to select one of four oven operating modes.
  

1. 0 or OFF,
2. Bake
3. Pre-Heat
4.  Grill

• BAKE is used for baking and roasting
• PRE-HEAT utilises all the oven elements to quickly bring the oven up to the selected temperature. The oven indicator light will remain on until the selected
  temperature is reached Thereafter the selector must be set to BAKE . You may use the oven without PRE-HEAT, it just takes a little longer to warm up.
• GRILL is used for conventional grilling

Grilling

• Keep oven door closed during grilling.
• Set the selector to grill and the oven thermostat to the grill position.
• Place oven shelf on the top shelf position.
• Place the item to be grilled in a roast pan on the shelf under the pre-heated grill element.
• The oven door may be opened to check on the grilling process which should be done every 5 to 10 minutes to avoid burning the food.
• The oven control must be turned to the OFF position when grilling is complete.

Baking (For Model 521 only) For best baking results, use an aluminium bake tray (300 x 230 x 30mm.)

Teflon coated baking trays are not recommended.

• Set the selector to pre-heat and set the oven thermostat to the desired temperature.
• The indicator light will glow and remain on until the oven has reached the selected temperature.
• When the indicator light switches off, the food should be placed in the oven.
• Set the selector to bake
• During baking the indicator light will regularly cycle on and off as the oven thermostat maintains the selected temperature.
• The door may be opened, for inspection purposes, after about half the cooking time has elapsed..

Solid plates

• Before using the plates for the first time, switch them on for four minutes at the highest setting. This allows the factory applied protective coating to burn in.
• The markings around the plate control knobs represent the following heat settings:
• 1 = Warming.
• 2 = Slow simmer.
•  3 = Simmer.
• 4 = Medium heat.
•  5 = High heat
• 6 = Boiling and frying.

Caring for solid plates

• To prevent blotchy discolouration and corrosion, moisture from spatters and spills should be cleaned off immediately.
• To clean the plates, wipe them with a damp cloth or nylon pad. A little liquid detergent may be used. Do not use metal scourers or sharp metal objects to clean the plates.
• 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 Service Centres. Extra attention is required in areas of high humidity or in close proximity to the sea.
  
  Recommendations
• 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.

Note

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

Cleaning Do not use a steam cleaner. Cleaning the Exterior

• Switch off the electrical supply to the stove before cleaning any part of it
• Use a damp soapy cloth and avoid the use of abrasive powders and scouring pads.

Switch off the power at the mains in the event of a fault or when cleaning the appliance.

Cleaning the Oven

• Use a hot, soapy damp cloth to clean any part of the oven. Stubborn stains may require the use of a nylon scrubbing brush and a liquid cleaner. Do not use metal scouring pads or abrasive cleaners.

Element and guard

• After cleaning the oven, ensure that the oven element is securely clipped into the hook of the element guard. Failure to observe this precaution will allow the element to rest on and damage the oven enamel.
  

Oven door

(Only applies to models with removable oven door)
The oven door may be removed to improve access to the oven for cleaning purposes.

1. Open the door fully to expose the hinges (A) on either side.
   
2.  Flip the hinge locking levers (B) to the upright position.
   
3. Partially close the oven door and lift it free of the side panel retaining slots.
   
4. After cleaning, re-fit the oven door in reverse order making sure that the bottom hinge notches © locate properly onto the bottom edges of the side panel retaining slots.
