Protecting the environment
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
The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment
(WEEE), requires that old household electrical appliances must not be disposed of
in the normal unsorted municipal waste stream. Old appliances must be collected
separately in order to optimise the recovery and recycling of the materials they
contain and reduce the impact on human health and the environment.
The crossed-out dustbin symbol on the product reminds you of your
obligation regarding separated waste collection. Consumers should
contact their local public service or their local dealer for more information
on the correct disposal of exhausted household appliances.
Energy-saving advice
• Always place a fitting lid on cookware. Cooking with an uncovered pan will result
in a 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.
