ENERGY SAVING TIPS
PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
1. Packing
The packaging material can be 100% recycled, as
confirmed by the recycling symbol .
2. Products
The appliances are built from recyclable materials. If
you decide to scrap the appliances act responsibly
and observe local waste disposal by laws. Cut off the
power cords so that the appliances cannot be
connected to the mains.
Declaration of conformity
These appliances are designed to come into contact with
foodstuffs and they are constructed in compliance with
Directive 89/109/EEC.
The appliances are designed solely for use as cooking
appliances. Any other use of the appliances (e.g. for
room heating) is considered as improper use and
potentially dangerous.
The appliances are designed, built and sold in
compliance with:
The safety requirements of Low Voltage Directive
73/23/EEC.
The protection requirements of EMC Directive
89/336/EEC.
The requirement of Directive 93/68/EEC.
