Precautions during use
Sauces and condiments:
all the stainless steel containers used for notoriously acid
ingredients (vinegar, salt, lemon juice, tomatoes, etc.)
should be thoroughly washed to remove any residue.
In particular salt solutions should not be left to evaporate
or dry on the stainless steel surface.
Never use coarse cooking salt which, being heavy, depo-
sits on the bottom without dissolving completely and over
a period of time can therefore cause points of contact with
consequent corrosion.
It is therefore advisable to add salt in small amounts to wa-
ter which is already boiling, or to dissolve it in a separate
container; never add it to cold water in the tanks and cer-
tainly never put it into an empty tank.
Whenever the tanks are not being used, they should prefe-
rably remain uncovered.
Protection of stainless steel
Should the equipment not be used for a certain period of
time, clean the external stainless steel surfaces and when
they are completely dry, protect by spreading over them a
thin film of vaseline oil, or better still specific products to
be found on the market.
Apart from giving the steel a uniform, polished appearan-
ce, these products prevent penetration of humidity and
dirt which can also cause corrosion.
These products, basically consisting of a mixture of oily
substances and detergents, are now available in easy-to-
use, practical spray cans.
What to do if not using the appliance
for a long time
Thoroughly clean and dry the machine as described.
Disconnect the power supply.
What to do if something goes wrong
If anything goes wrong, immediately turn the appliance
off, then turn off the power supply at the switch located
upstream of the appliance, and call the aftersales depart-
ment.
MAINTENANCE
All maintenance should be carried out by qualified per-
sonnel only. Before carrying out any maintenance work,
unplug the appliance or turn off the switch upstream of the
appliance.

THE 2002/96/EC DIRECTIVE (WEEE):
information to users
This informational note is meant only for owners
of equipment marked with the symbol shown in
Fig. A on the adhesive label featuring the tech-
nical specifications applied on the actual pro-
duct (the label also giving the serial number).
This symbol indicates that the product is classified, ac-
cording to the regulations in force, as an item of electrical
and electronic equipment and conforms to EU Directive
2002/96/EC (WEEE) meaning that, at the end of its service
life, it must be treated separately from domestic waste,
i.e. it must be handed in free of charge to a separate wa-
ste electrical and electronic equipment collection centre
or returned to the reseller when buying a new equivalent
item of equipment.
The user is responsible for delivering the unit at the end of
its life to the appropriate collection facilities. Failure to do
so shall result in the user being subject to the penalties
prescribed by the legislation in force on waste.
Suitable separated collection so that the unit no longer
used can be sent off for environmentally compatible recy-
cling, treatment and disposal helps avoid possible negati-
ve effects on the environment and on health and facilita-
tes the recycling of the product's component materials.
For more detailed information on available collection sy-
stems, contact the local waste disposal service or the
shop you purchased the unit from.
Producers and importers fulfil their responsibility for envi-
ronmentally compatible recycling, treatment and disposal
both directly and by joining a collective scheme.
