HOW TO SAVE ELECTRICITY
UNPACKING
DISPOSAL
Using the electricity in a responsible manner not only saves money, but also helps protect
the environment. So let’s save electricity! This is how it’s done:
The appliance was protected from damage at the time of transport. After unpacking, please
dispose of all elements of packaging in a way that will not cause damage to the environ-
ment. All materials used for packaging the appliance are environmentally friendly; they are
100% recyclable and are marked with the appropriate symbol.
This marking means that the appliance must not be disposed of together with other house-
hold waste after it has been used. The user is obliged to hand it over to waste collection
centre collecting used electrical and electronic goods.
The collectors, including local collection points, shops and local authority departments
provide recycling schemes. Proper handling of used electrical and electronic goods helps
avoid environmental and health hazards resulting from the presence of dangerous compo-
nents and the inappropriate storage and processing of such goods
Important! Keep the packaging material (bags, Styrofoam pieces, etc.) out of reach of
children during unpacking.
In accordance with European Directive 2012/19/UE and Polish legislation regarding used
electrical and electronic goods, this appliance is marked with the symbol of the crossed-out
waste container.
•
●Use the correct cookware
Cookware with flat and a thick base can save up to 1/3 of electricity. Please remember to
cover cookware with the lid, otherwise electricity consumption increased four times!
•
Always keep the cooking zones and cookware bases clean.
Dirt prevents proper heat transfer. Often burnt stains can be removed only with agents
harmful to the environment.
•
●Avoiding unnecessary lifting the lid to peek into the pot.
•
Do not install the hob in the immediate vicinity of refrigerator / freezer.
The electricity consumption is then unnecessarily increased.
