Disposal
• When disposing of packaging material: observe local
legislation so that the packaging may be reused.
• The European Directive 2012/19/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 “wheeled bin” symbol on
the product reminds you of your obligation, that when you
dispose of the appliance it must be separately collected.
Consumers may take their old appliance to public waste
collection areas, other communal collection areas, or
if national legislation allows return it to a retailer when
purchasing a similar new product.
All major household appliance manufacturers are active
in the creation of systems to manage the collection and
disposal of old appliances.
Maintenance and care
Switching the appliance off
Disconnect your appliance from the electricity supply before
carrying out any work on it.
Cleaning the appliance
!
Do not use abrasive or corrosive detergents such as stain
removers, anti-rust products, powder detergents or sponges with
abrasive surfaces: these may scratch the surface beyond repair.
!
Never use steam cleaners or pressure cleaners on the
appliance.
• It is usually enough to wash the hob with a damp sponge
and dry it with absorbent kitchen roll.
• The removable parts of the burners should be washed
frequently with warm water and soap and any burnt-on
substances removed.
The burner caps should NOT be put in the dishwasher
to prevent dulling of the aluminum part.
• For hobs which ligth automatically, the terminal part of
the electronic instant lighting devices should be cleaned
frequently and the gas outlet holes should be checked
for blockages.
• Stainless steel can be marked by hard water that has
been left on the surface for a long time, or by aggressive
detergents containing phosphorus. After cleaning, rinse
and dry any remaining drops of water.

If this happens, the tap must be replaced.
