Appliance disposal
Pursuant to Directives 2011/65/EU and 2012/19/EU regarding the reduction
of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment as well as waste
disposal.
The crossed bin symbol on the appliance or on its packaging indicates that at
the end of the product’s life it must be disposed of separately from other waste.
PACKAGING DISPOSAL: packaging components (bags, fi lms, polystyrene) are potentially dangerous for
children and animals (risk of suffocation). The packaging is made of materials that can be recycled according to
the directives of the country where the equipment is to be disposed of.
EQUIPMENT DISPOSAL: the user must dispose of the equipment at the appropriate collection centres for
electronic and electrical waste, or return it to the dealer when buying a new equivalent product.
Appropriate separate collection of parts for recycling, or environmentally friendly treatment or disposal helps to
avoid possible negative effects on the environment and on health, and promotes the reuse and/or recycling of
the parts themselves.
Illegal disposal of the equipment by the user entails the application of administrative sanctions provided for by
law. The main materials the equipment is made up of are:
• Steel;
• Plastic;
• Copper;
• Aluminium;
• Polyurethane.
Basic Safety Rules
It is recommended to perform routine cleaning and maintenance operations safely, scrupulously observing the
following rules:
• disconnect the appliance from the power supply before working on it;
• to disconnect the appliance do not pull the power cable;
• do not touch the appliance with wet or damp hands/feet or without suitable protections (e.g. suitable glo-
ves and shoes);
• do not insert screwdrivers, kitchen utensils or objects between the grids and into moving parts.
During routine maintenance operations it is forbidden to disconnect or remove the safety devices: the manufac-
turer declines all responsibility for accidents caused by infringement of this obligation.
External surface cleaning
Body: the external stainless surfaces should be cleaned with a soft cloth or sponge and neutral detergent in
the direction of the satin fi nishing. Avoid steel wool, scrapers or abrasive, aggressive or acidic substances which
could permanently damage the stainless steel surfaces.
After cleaning, protect the external surfaces with specifi c oil-based products for stainless steel.
Warning! The data label contains important and useful information for the technical assistance ser-
vice: do not remove it while cleaning.
Display: for easy cleaning of the glass display use specifi c products for glass surfaces and a soft cloth.
