8. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION & DISPOSAL
8.1. APPLIANCE DISPOSAL
This appliance is labelled in accordance with European Directive 2012/19/EU regarding electric and
electronic appliances (WEEE). The WEEE contain both polluting substances (that can have a negative
effect on the environment) and base elements (that can be reused). It is important
that the WEEE undergo specific treatments to correctly remove and dispose of the
pollutants and recover all the materials.
Individuals can play an important role in ensuring that the WEEE do not become an
environmental problem; it is essential to follow a few basic rules:
- the WEEE should not be treated as domestic waste;
- the WEEE should be taken to dedicated collection areas managed by the town
council or a registered company.
ln many countries, domestic collections may be available for large WEEEs. When
you buy a new appliance, the old one can be returned to the vendor who must
accept it free of charge as a one-off, as long as the appliance is of an equivalent type and has the same
functions as the purchased appliance.
8.2. SAVING AND RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
Where possible, avoid pre-heating the oven and always try to fill it.
Open the oven door as infrequently as possible, because heat from the cavity disperses every time it
is opened. For a significant energy saving, switch off the oven between 5 and 10 minutes before the
planned end of the cooking time, and use the residual heat that the oven continues to generate.
Keep the seals clean and in order, to avoid any heat dispersal outside of the cavity. lf you have an
electric contract with an hourly tariff, the "delayed cooking" programme makes energy saving simpler,
moving the cooking process to start at the reduced tariff time slot.
