with current European directives.
To dispose of the appliance:
• Cut the power cable and remove it.
• Deliver the appliance to the appropriate
recycling centre for electrical and electronic
equipment waste, or return it to the retailer
when purchasing an equivalent product, on
a one for one basis.
Our appliances are packaged in non-polluting
and recyclable materials.
• Deliver the packing materials to the
appropriate recycling centre.
To save energy
• The diameter of the base of the pan must not
extend beyond the lines printed on the glass
ceramic surface.
• Pans must not be placed outside the
perimeter of the hob or on the display.
• When buying a pan, check whether the
diameter indicated is that of the base or the
top of the pan, as the top is almost always
larger than the base.
• When preparing dishes with long cooking
times, you can save time and energy by
using a pressure cooker, which also helps to
retain vitamins contained in the food.
• Make sure that the pressure cooker contains
enough liquid as, if there is not enough and
it overheats, this may cause damage to both
the pressure cooker and the cooking zone.
• If possible, always cover pans with a
suitable lid.
• Choose a pan suitable for the quantity of
food to be cooked. A large, half-empty
saucepan leads to a waste of energy.
