Disposal
• When disposing of packaging material: observe local legislation
so that the packaging may be reused.
• The European Directive 2002/96/EC relating to Waste Electrical
and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) states that household
appliances should not be disposed of using the normal solid
urban waste cycle. Exhausted appliances should be collected
separately in order to optimise the cost of re-using and recycling
the materials inside the machine, while preventing potential
damage to the atmosphere and to public health. The crossed-
out dustbin is marked on all products to remind the owner of
their obligations regarding separated waste collection.
Exhausted appliances may be collected by the public waste
collection service, taken to suitable collection areas in the area
or, if permitted by current national legislation, they may be
returned to the dealers as part of an exchange deal for a new
equivalent product.
All major manufacturers of household appliances participate in
the creation and organisation of systems for the collection and
disposal of old and disused appliances.
Respecting and conserving the
environment
• Always keep the oven door closed when using the GRILL
modes. This will achieve better results while saving energy
(approximately 10%).
Precautions and tips
• Whenever possible, avoid pre-heating the oven
and always try to fill it. Open the oven door as little
as possible because heat is lost every time it is
opened. To save a substantial amount of energy,
simply switch off the oven 5 to 10 minutes before the
end of your planned cooking time and use the heat
the oven continues to generate.
• Keep gaskets clean and tidy to prevent any door
energy losses
• If you have a timed tariff electricity contract, the “delay
cooking” option will make it easier to save money by
moving operation to cheaper time periods.
• Make the most of your hot plate's residual heat by
switching off cast iron hot plates 10 minutes before the
end of your cooking time and glass ceramic hot plates
5 minutes before the end of cooking time.
• The base of your pot or pan should cover the hot plate.
If it is smaller, precious energy will be wasted and
pots that boil over leave encrusted remains that can
be difficult to remove.
• Cook your food in closed pots or pans with well-fitting
lids and use as little water as possible. Cooking with
the lid off will greatly increase energy consumption
• Use purely flat pots and pans
• If you are cooking something that takes a long time,
it's worth using a pressure cooker, which is twice as
fast and saves a third of the energy.
• WARNING: Accessible parts may become hot during use.
Young children should be kept away
If the cooker is placed on a pedestal, take the neces-
sary precautions to prevent the cooker from sliding
off the pedestal itself.
