6. Ecology and environment
Our appliances are studied and perfected using
lab tests, in order to provide high performance
and yields. However, to keep energy consumption
low (electricity, gas and water), we suggest not
using the appliance for extended time periods if
it is empty or in conditions that compromise opti-
mum yield. All packaging materials are environ-
ment-friendly. They can be kept without posing
any safety risks or they can be burnt in a waste
incinerator plant. The plastic components that
can be recycled are:
•
Polyethylene: external packaging material and/
or bubble wrap
•
Polypropylene: straps
•
Polystyrene foam: corner pieces, protective
sheets and blocks
At the end of the appliance’s working life, dis-
pose of it properly. Each appliance is made of 90%
plus metal (stainless steel, iron, aluminium sheet
metal, etc.) hence it can be recycled by the rel-
ative recycling organisations in compliance with
the standards in force in your country.
Prepare the appliance for disposal, so it is no
longer functional, by removing the power cable
and any locks so as to avoid somebody accidentally
getting locked inside.
