Disposal of packaging and
appliance
The appliance packaging is recyclable.
The following may have been used:
■ cardboard;
■ polythene film (PE);
■ CFC-free polystyrene (PS hard foam).
Dispose of these materials responsibly and in
accordance with government regulations.
On the data plate is put the symbol of a
crossed-out wheeled dustbin:
This means that at the end of its working life,
the product must not be disposed of as urban
waste. It must be taken to a special local
authority differentiated waste collection
centre or to a dealer providing this service.
Disposing of a household appliance
separately avoids possible negative
consequences for the environment and health
deriving from inappropriate disposal and
enables the constituent materials to be
recovered to obtain significant savings in
energy and resources.
As a reminder of the need to dispose of
household appliances separately, the product
is marked with a crossed-out wheeled
dustbin.
What should I do if…
If the appliance does not work properly, this
does not always mean that it is defective.
Try to deal with the problem yourself first.
Phone the service department if the advice
given below does not help.
■ Is the plug in the socket?
■ Is the door closed properly?
■ Is the fuse in the meter cupboard
defective?
■ Have the power level and cooking time
been set properly?
■ Is there anything in the microwave oven
that should not be there?
■ Have you used the correct utensils?
■ Are the ventilation openings blocked?
■ Is the food sufficiently defrosted?
■ Did you turn or stir the food during
cooking?
