Disposal of the packing material
The cardboard box and packing materials protect the appliance during shipping.
They have been designed to be biodegradable and recyclable.
Ensure that any plastic wrappings, bags, etc. are disposed of safely and kept out
of the reach of children. Danger of suffocation!
Disposal of your old appliance
• Old electrical and electronic appliances often still contain valuable materials.
However, they also contain harmful substances that were essential for the proper
functioning and safe use of the equipment. Handling these materials improperly
or disposing of them in your household waste can be harmful to your health and
the environment. Therefore, please do not dispose of your old appliance with
regular household waste.
• Old appliances may contain materials that can be recycled. Please contact your
local recycling authority about the possibility of recycling these materials.
• Please be sure that your old appliance does not pose a danger to children while
being stored for disposal.
Energy-saving advice
• Always place a fitting lid on cookware. Cooking with an uncovered pan will result
in a four-fold increase in energy use. Use a glass lid to provide visibility and avoid
having to lift the lid.
• Use cookware equipped with a solid, flat bottom. Curved pan bases increase
energy consumption.
• The diameter of the pan base must match the size of the element. If not, energy
may be wasted. Note: The manufacturer normally indicates the pan’s upper
diameter. This is normally greater than the diameter of the pan’s base.
• Choose cookware of a size suited to the amount of food you are going to cook.
A large pan that is only half full will use a lot of energy.
• Use a small amount of water when cooking. This saves energy, and vegetables
retain a larger percentage of their vitamins and minerals.
• Select a lower power level.
