SAFEGUARDING THE ENVIRONMENT

Disposal of packaging materials

The packaging material is entirely recyclable and marked with the recycling symbol (). The various parts of the packing must therefore be disposed of responsibly and in full compliance with local authority regulations governing waste disposal.

Scrapping

This appliance is marked in compliance with European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE).

By ensuring that this appliance is scrapped suitably, you can help prevent potentially damaging consequences for the environment and health.

The symbol on the product or on the accompanying documentation indicates that it should not be treated as domestic waste but must be taken to an appropriate

collection centre for the recycling of electrical and electronic equipment.

Energy saving

For optimum results, observe the following advice:

•Use pots and pans whose bottom diameter is equal to that of the cooking zone.

•Only use flat-bottomed pots and pans.

•If possible, keep pot lids on when cooking (except when using the sixth sense function)

•Use a pressure cooker to save even more energy and time (do not use in conjunction with the sixth sense function).

•Make sure you place the pot or pan in the centre of the cooking zone outlined on the hob.

DECLARATION OF CONFORMITY

-This appliance is designed to come into contact with food and complies with Regulation () no. 1935/2004, and has been designed, constructed and marketed in compliance with the safety requirements of “Low Voltage” Directive 2006/95/EC (replacing 73/23/EEC as amended) and protection requirements of “EMC”

Directive 2004/108/EC.

BEFORE USE

IMPORTANT: the cooking zones will not switch on if pots and pans are not of the correct dimensions. Only use pots bearing the symbol “INDUCTION SYSTEM” (See figure opposite). Before switching the hob on, position the pot on the desired cooking zone.

EXISTING POTS AND PANS
