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.
• Always keep the oven door closed when using the GRILL
modes. This will achieve better results while saving energy
(approximately 10%).
• 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.
