OVER THE YEARS, DEFY'S SERVICE CENTRES HAVE IDENTIFIED THIS LIST OF DO'S AND
DON'TS AS BEING IMPORTANT FOR CUSTOMER SATISFACTION AND SAFETY. PLEASE
READ IT AND FAMILIARISE YOURSELF WITH ITS CONTENTS.
Do
Clean your appliance regularly. This
•
will prolong it's good looks and
enhance hygiene levels.
Use flat bottomed pots and pans when
•
cooking on the hotplates. This will
maximise efficiency and reduce
electricity costs.
Keep children well away from the
•
cooking appliance. Explain the
dangers to them. Being safety
conscious is being safe, not sorry.
Supervise the cooking process.
•
Overcooked or spoiled food is
wasteful.
Leave about a 40mm. air gap between
•
baking tins and the oven walls.
Adequate air circulation is important
for good baking results.
Get into the habit of wearing oven
•
gloves when handling utensils in a hot
oven. This will help to avoid
accidental burns.
Partly slide out the oven shelf before
•
removing hot dishes from the oven.
This will prevent accidental contact
with the hot oven sides.
PAGE 20 OF24
Don't
Use pots which are smaller than the
•
hotplate diameter. This wastes
electricity and allows the pot handles
to overheat.
Leave the appliance unattended
•
especially when grilling. This is good
practice and avoids accidents.
Place anything on the open oven door.
•
The glass is not a work surface and
could get scratched.
Use abrasive cleaning materials. They
•
will scratch surfaces and facia
graphics.
Allow fat splashes to dry and bake
•
onto the stove/oven surface before
cleaning them. It is easier to clean
spills while they are still slightly
warm and soft.
Put baking tins on the floor of the
•
oven. This will prevent heat
circulation and spoil baking results.
Use the appliance to heat the home.
•
Neither the hotplates nor the oven
were designed for this purpose and
damage could occur.
Allow pot handles to overhang the
•
front of the appliance. Children might
be tempted to grab them with harmful
consequences.
