Tips on environmental protection

Eliminating the packaging

The packaging carries the Green Dot. Use the

right bins when discarding all of the packaging

materials, such as the cardboard, styrene and

plastic films. This will ensure that the packaging

materials are recycled.

Disposal of old electrical appliances

The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste

Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE),

requires that old household electrical appliances

must not be disposed of in the normal unsorted

municipal waste stream. Old appliances must be

collected separately in order to optimise the

recovery and recycling of the materials they

contain and reduce the impact on human health

and the environment.

The crossed out “wheeled bin” symbol on the

product reminds you of your obligation, that when

you dispose of the appliance it must be separately

collected.

Consumers should contact their local authority or

retailer for information concerning the correct

disposal of their old appliance.

Before you dispose of your appliance, remove the

power cable, cut it and dispose of it.

EN Advantages of the microwave oven Why the food is heated In a conventional cooker, the heat that is radiated through the resistances or gas burners slowly penetrates the foods from the outside in. Therefore, there is a great loss of energy in heating the air, the oven components and the containers holding the food. In the microwave, the heat is generated by the foods themselves, i.e. the heat goes from the inside out.
