Frequently Asked Questions - DHD398 Defy
How do I connect the gas hob to my gas supply?
Ensure the cooker is off and disconnected from power. The gas connection must be performed by a registered gas installer according to local regulations. A conversion kit for LPG is included if needed.
What should I do if the oven is not heating evenly?
Check that the oven shelves are positioned correctly and not overcrowded. Also verify that the fan function is selected for even heat distribution. Preheating for at least 15 minutes is recommended.
How do I clean the oven interior?
Remove racks and allow the oven to cool. Wipe with a damp cloth and mild detergent. For stubborn stains, use a non-abrasive oven cleaner. Do not use spray cleaners on the door seal.
Can I use a grill pan in the oven?
Yes, the grill function is designed for use with the supplied grill pan. Always place the pan on the top shelf position and keep the oven door slightly ajar when grilling.
Why does the gas burner flame appear yellow?
A yellow flame indicates incomplete combustion. Ensure burners are clean and dry. If problem persists, adjust the air shutter on the burner (refer to manual) or contact a professional.
What is the maximum cooking capacity of the oven?
The oven can hold up to a 12 kg turkey or three 8-inch cake tins simultaneously. Distribute weight evenly on shelves.
How do I replace the oven light bulb?
Disconnect power. Remove the glass cover by turning it anticlockwise. Replace with a 25W/300°C oven bulb (E14 base). Reattach cover and restore power.
Does the cooker have a child lock?
Yes, the control knobs can be locked by pressing down and turning to the lock symbol (if equipped). Refer to manual for activation. Alternatively, remove knobs when not in use.
What should I do if the oven thermostat is inaccurate?
Use an oven thermometer to check actual temperature. If deviation exceeds 10°C, the thermostat may need calibration or replacement. Contact Defy service for assistance.
Can I use aluminum foil in the oven?
Yes, but avoid covering the oven floor or heating elements completely. Place foil only on shelves or to catch drips. Do not allow foil to contact the oven heating elements.
