Disposal
• When disposing of packaging material: observe local legislation so that
the packaging may be reused.
• The European Directive 2012/19/EU on Waste Electrical and Electronic
Equipment (WEEE), requires that old household electrical appliances must
not be disposed of in the normal unsorted municipal waste stream. Old
appliances must be collected separately in order to optimise the recovery
and recycling of the materials they contain and reduce the impact on
human health and the environment.The crossed out “wheeled bin” symbol
on the product reminds you of your obligation, that when you dispose of
the appliance it must be separately collected.
Consumers should contact their local authority or retailer for information
concerning the correct disposal of their old appliance.
Respecting and conserving the environment
• Make the most of your hot plate’s residual heat by switching o cast iron hot
plates 10 minutes before the end of your cooking time and glass ceramic
hot plates 5 minutes before the end of cooking time.
• The base of your pot or pan should cover the hot plate. If it is smaller,
precious energy will be wasted and pots that boil over leave encrusted
remains that can be dicult to remove.
• Cook your food in closed pots or pans with well-tting lids and use as little
water as possible. Cooking with the lid o will greatly increase energy
consumption.
• Use purely at pots and pans.
• If you are cooking something that takes a long time, it’s worth using a
pressure cooker, which is twice as fast and saves a third of the energy.
