Instructions for disposal

3. ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY

3.1 Our environmental responsibility
Pursuant to Directives 2002/95/EC, 2002/96/EC and 2003/108/EC relating to the reduction of the use of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic appliances, as well as to the disposal of refuse, the crossed out bin symbol on the appliance indicates that at the end of the useful life of the product, it must be collected separately from other refuse. Therefore, at the end of the product's working life, the user must deliver it to the appropriate differentiated collection centres for electrical and electronic waste, or deliver it back to the retailer when purchasing an equivalent product, on a one-for-one basis. Adequate differentiated collection for the subsequent forwarding of the decommissioned product to recycling, processing and ecologically compatible disposal contributes to avoiding possible negative effects on the environment and on health, and promotes recycling of the appliance's constituent materials. Illicit disposal of the product by the user will lead to the application of administrative sanctions.
The product does not contain substances in quantities sufficient to be considered hazardous to health and the environment, in accordance with current European directives.
3.2 Your environmental responsibility
38
Our product's packing is made of non-polluting materials, which are therefore compatible with the environment and recyclable. Please help by disposing of the packaging correctly. You can obtain the addresses of collection, recycling and disposal centres from your retailer or from the competent local organisations.
Do not discard the packaging or any part of it, or leave it unattended. It can constitute a suffocation hazard for children, especially the plastic bags.
Your old appliance also needs to be disposed of correctly. Important: hand over your appliance to the local agency authorised for the collection of electrical appliances no longer in use. Correct disposal enables intelligent recovery of valuable materials. Before disposing of your appliance it is important to remove doors and leave
shelves in the same position as for use, to ensure that children cannot accidentally become trapped inside during play. It is also necessary to cut the connecting cable to the power grid, removing it along with the plug.

5. USING THE HOB

5.1 Glass ceramic hob
The appliance has two cooking zones of various power levels and diameters. The positions are clearly indicated by circles and the
heat is concentrated within the diameters traced on the hob. The radiating zones come on after a few seconds and their heat level can be adjusted by rotating the knob of the power regulator.
To switch the cooking zones on, rotate the knob to the desired position between 1 and 9.. The adjustment is gradual so all the intermediate zones can be used. The lights to the side of the knobs indicate the residual heat: they come on when the electric hot plates exceed 50°C and go off when the temperature falls below this level. For cleaning, see paragraph "6.2 Cleaning the cooking hob parts".

For best cooking results and energy saving, only use containers suitable for electric cooking:
The bases of containers must be very thick, perfectly flat and clean and dry. The hob must also be clean and dry.
Do not use cast iron saucepans or saucepans with a rough base, as they may scratch the cooking surface.
To heat food, keep small amounts of water on the boil, and whip up sauces with egg yolk or butter.
To heat solid or liquid food, keep water on the boil, thaw deep-frozen food, cook omelettes of 2 or 3 eggs, fruit and vegetables, various cooking processes.
To stew meat, fish and vegetables, simmer food, make jams, etc.
To roast meat, fish, steaks and liver; to sauté meat, fish, eggs, etc.
To deep-fry potatoes, etc., or bring water to the boil rapidly.
The diameter of the base of the saucepans must be equal to the diameter of the circle outlining the cooking zone. If not, energy will be wasted.
