ENVIRONMENT PROTECTION
• The packaging of your product is recyclable.
• Do not dispose of it with the rest of your waste but rather
recycle the packaging or bring it to your nearest recycling
facility. Your appliance has been designed to work for many
years.
• However, when you finally decide to replace your old
product, remember to think of what you can do to help to
protect the environment by disposing of it at your local
waste disposal center. You can also dispose of your product
at your nearest Authorized Service Center (depending on
your area).

2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs; always
use oven mitts.

plug, or this appliance in question in water or other liquid.
4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is

pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
