appliance while it is in use.
• Do not place flammable material in the lower storage
compartment or in the oven itself. If the appliance is switched

If the cooker is placed on a pedestal, take the necessary
precautions to prevent the cooker from sliding off the

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

• You can help to reduce the peak load of the electricity supply
network companies by using the oven in the hours between
late afternoon and the early hours of the morning.
• Check the door seals regularly and wipe them clean to ensure
they are free of debris so that they adhere properly to the
door, thus avoiding
heat dispersion.
