INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on the purchase of this quality appliance. We, the manufacturer, trust
that you will enjoy many years of trouble free use. Please read these instructions carefully
before using the oven. This book will provide you with information on how to operate
and care for your appliance in order that you gain the maximum benefit from it.
UNPACKING
• Please ensure that packaging material is disposed of in a responsible manner. Plastic
bags should be cut up to prevent children playing with them and accidentally
suffocating.
• Remove all packing from the oven cavity and position the accessories.
• If the appliance is damaged in any way, do not use it. Report the damage to your
dealer, who will take the necessary corrective action.
CUPBOARD DESIGN
• Cooking appliances generate considerable heat. The layout and materials of the
mounting cabinet should take account of the characteristics of the oven.
• Surfaces immediately adjacent to the oven should be able to withstand temperatures
of up to 100°C without delaminating or discolouring.
• Gemini ovens exhaust through a vent in the upper part of the handle. The vent at the
bottom of the handle is an air intake.
• Gemini ovens are designed for installation with cupboard doors which provide at least
100mm. clearance alongside and above the oven. Overhead doors may be subjected to
heat as well as condensation if moist foods are being cooked.
• Note that the oven doors are reversible and may hinge from the left or right. Consult
the nearest Defy Service Centre and they will advise the correct procedure.
SAFETY ADVICE
• Only use the appliance for preparing food.
• Always keep children away from the appliance when it is in use.
• Do not leave hot fat or oil unattended. If overheating occurs, these could catch fire.
• Switch off the power at the mains in the event of a fault or when cleaning the oven.
• Do not store flammable items in the oven. If the oven is inadvertently switched on,
these could catch fire.
• Never cover the bottom oven element with aluminium foil. Cooking times will be
affected and the oven enamel could be damaged.
• Avoid spilling fruit juice, particularly citrus, on the appliance as it could damage the
enamel.
• Always keep the oven door gaskets clean as this will enable the door to seal properly.
