7 Maintenance and care
General information
The service life of the appliance will extend and
problems will decrease if cleaned at regular intervals.
Service intervals
• Every twelve months the appliance should be
serviced by a Defy Service agent to ensure
continued efficient and safe operation.
• If required, the cleaning of the valves should only
be carried out by a qualified Defy technician. i.e.
Burner not functioning correctly.
• Wash removable burner parts weekly with hot
water and detergent.
• Remove any encrustations and ensure that the
burner holes are clear.
• The condition of the gas hose and valve must be
inspected for leaks when the gas bottle is re-filled.
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.
• Clean the appliance thoroughly after each use.
This enables cooking residues to be removed more
easily and prevents these from burning when the
appliance is used.
• No special cleaning agents are required for
cleaning the appliance. Use warm water with
washing liquid, a soft cloth or 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.
• Never use high-pressure steam equipment or a
water jet for cleaning.
• Do not use cleaning agents that contain acid or
chloride.
• Never use cleaning products containing abrasive
materials as these could damage the decorative
and informative paint applications.
• Remove the burners and wipe them with a thin
damp cloth or non-abrasive sponge. Use a neutral
detergent. Dry afterward with a soft cloth and blow
away any residual water in the gas outlet holes.
Cleaning the control panel
Clean the control panel and knobs with a damp cloth
and wipe them dry.
Damage of the control panel!
Do not remove the control knobs for
control panel cleaning.
The surface may be damaged by some
detergents or cleaning materials. Do not
use aggressive detergents, cleaning
powder/cream or any sharp objects.
Do not use steam cleaners for cleaning.
