d) Environmental Protection
It is good to know that microwaves cause a simple heat phenomenon inside food and that they
are not harmful to health.
At the end of its life this product must not be discarded with household waste. It must be
taken to a recycling centre or to your dealer. This makes it possible to avoid consequences
resulting from inappropriate disposal that are harmful to health and the environment, and to
recycle materials to save energy and significant resources.
A logo appears on the product reminding you not to discard it with household waste. For
further information, contact your council offices or the shop where you bought this product.
Your machine also contains several recyclable materials. It is therefore marked by this logo to
show you that used machines should not be mixed with other waste.
The recycling of machines organised by your manufacturer will therefore be performed in the
best conditions, in compliance with European Directive 2002/96/EC concerning electrical or
electronic equipment waste. Contact your Town Hall or your dealer to find out where the points
nearest to your home for the collection of used machines are. Thank you for helping to protect
the environment.
