Causes of Damage
NOTICES
▯ RISK OF HEAT DAMAGE TO ADJACENT
APPLIANCES OR KITCHEN UNITS:
If the appliance is in operation for an extended period,
heat and moisture will be generated. Additional
ventilation is required. Open the window or switch on
an extractor hood that discharges the extracted air
and moisture outside the building.
▯ RISK OF DAMAGE TO THE APPLIANCE DUE TO THE
BUILD-UP OF HEAT:
Do not heat roasters, frying pans or grill stones using
more than one burner at a time.
▯ OPERATIONAL FAULT:
Always turn the control knob to the "Off" position when
the appliance is not being used.
Environmental protection
Environmental protecti on
The sections below list a number of energy-saving tips
and provide information on disposing of your appliance.
The packaging of your appliance has been manufactured
using only the materials which are strictly necessary to
provide efficient protection during transport. These
materials are 100% recyclable, thus reducing the
environmental impact. You can also contribute to caring
for the environment by following the advice below:
▯ Dispose of the packaging in the appropriate recycling
bin.
▯ Before you get rid of an old appliance, make sure you
disable it. Contact your local authority to find out the
address of your nearest recycling centre to dispose of
your appliance.
▯ Do not pour used oil down the sink. Collect it in a
sealed container and take it to an appropriate
collection point or, failing that, place it in the rubbish
bin (it will end up in a controlled dump; this is probably
not the best option, but it will avoid contaminating
ground water).
Saving energy
▯ Choose a burner of roughly the same size as your
pan. Place the cookware in the middle.
▯ Use a small saucepan for small quantities. A larger,
less full saucepan requires more energy.
▯ Always place suitable lids on saucepans. Cooking
without a lid consumes significantly more energy. Use
a glass lid so that you can see into the pan without
having to lift the lid.
▯ Cook with a small amount of water. That saves energy.
Vitamins and minerals in vegetables are preserved.
▯ Switch to a lower heat setting when possible. As a
result, you save energy.
