The product is fitted with a 15 Amp 3 pin plug.
Insert the plug into an earthed 15 Amp wall socket.
The wall socket should be located where it is easily accessible but not above the
hob.
ñ
ñ
ñ
If the mains power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a qualified electrician.
This appliance must be earthed.
The manufacturer and the seller do not accept responsibility for any damage
due to incorrect installation or electrical connection.
LPG (Liquid Petroleum Gas) installation
ñ
ñ
Soak the end of the gas-supply hose in hot water to soften it.
Then push the hose end fully over the gas-supply nozzle located at the rear of the
hob .(see sketch 1 below)
ñ
ñ
Secure the hose by tightening the hose clamp. ( See sketch 2 below)
Similarly, secure the other end of the hose to the regulator on the gas bottle.

Check for gas leaks
ñ
Never use a naked flame to check for gas leaks
ñ
Check for gas leaks after installation and whenever a new or re-filled gas bottle is
used for the first time.
ñ
ñ
ñ
ñ
ñ
ñ
ñ
Ensure that the gas burner control knobs are in the OFF position.
Open the valve on the Gas bottle.
Using a small paint brush, apply some soapy water to all the connections.

the LPGSASA. (Liquid Petroleum Gas Association of Southern Africa) and must be
installed in accordance with the requirements of SANS 10087-1 and any fire depart-
ment regulations and/or local bylaws applicable in the area.
Permanent installation.
All registered Gas Fitters are issued with an identity card which carries their registration
number. Make a note of this on the space provided below.
The Gas Fitter should also provide you with a written certificate after completion of the
work. Failure to comply with the above will render the warranty invalid.
Before the installer hands over the installed appliance be sure that you fully understand:
a) The position of the isolation or shut-off valve in the gas supply line to the appliance.
b) The requirements for safe operation of the appliance

Operating the burners
ñ
To switch a burner on, push down slightly on the relevant control knob and then turn
it to the left ( counter œ clockwise ) The large flame symbol on the knob indicates
the maximum and the small flame the lowest setting.
ñ
ñ
ñ
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 burning, please repeat the sequence.
Important.
Flame failure œsafety cut out.
ñ
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.
ñ
In the event of a burn back ( where the flame burns back into the jet ) immediately
turn off the control to the affected burner.
ñ
ñ
Wait a few minutes and relight the burner in the normal manner.
If the burn back occurs again, turn off the control knob to the affected burner, 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
ñ
safety of the occupants in the room in which the appliance is installed.
Page 5
Maintenance and servicing.
ñ
Every twelve months the hob should be serviced by a Defy Service agent to ensure
continued efficient and safe operation.
ñ
Note: If required, the cleaning of the valves should only be carried out by a qualified
Defy technician. i.e. Burner not functioning correctly.
ñ
ñ
ñ
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.
Burner
ñ
Carefully align the 2 holes in the alu-
minium burner cap body with the igni-
tion electrode and the flame failure sen-
sor.
Gently lower the burner cap into posi-
tion with the cut-out over the spigot in
the burner cap body.

Important safety advice.
ñ
ñ
ñ
W hen 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.
ñ
ñ
ñ
ñ
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.
Page 6
In the event of a pan fire… ..
ñ
Burns and injuries are usually caused by picking up the burning pan and rushing out-
side with it.
ñ
ñ
ñ
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:
ñ
Switch the electricity off at the wall socket and remove the plug before attempting any
cleaning operation.
ñ
ñ
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:
ñ
ñ
ñ
ñ
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.
ñ
Never wash the burner caps in a dishwasher.
Control panel:
ñ
ñ
ñ
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
ñ
ñ
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.
ñ
ñ
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.
