remember that blades or cooking utensils may ruin the
surface of the hob. If this happens, remove the plug
of the cooker from the electricity socket and contact
an authorised Technical Assistance Centre in order to
request original spare parts. Failure to comply with the
above may compromise the safety of the appliance.
• If the surface of the hob is cracked, switch 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
• Always keep the oven door closed when using
the GRILL, DOUBLE GRILL and FAN-ASSISTED
DOUBLE GRILL modes: This will achieve better
results while saving energy (approximately 10%).
• 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.
