ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY 3. 1 Our environmental responsibility Pursuant to Directives 2002/95/EC, 2002/96/EC and 2003/108/EC relating to the reduction of the use of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic appliances, as well as to the disposal of refuse, the crossed out bin symbol on the appliance indicates that the product, at the end of its useful life, must be collected separately from other refuse. Therefore, the user must consign the product that has reached the end of its working life to the appropriate selective collection centres for electrical and electronic refuse, or deliver it back to the retailer when purchasing an equivalent product, on a one for one basis. Adequate differentiated collection for the subsequent forwarding of the decommissioned product to recycling, processing and ecologically compatible disposal contributes to avoiding possible negative effects on the environment and on health, and promotes recycling of the appliance's constituent materials. The illicit disposal of the product by the user results in the application of administrative sanctions. · Make sure that the pressure cooker contains enough liquid, as, if there is not enough and it overheats, this may cause damage to both the pressure cooker and the cooking zone. · If possible, always cover saucepans with a suitable lid. · Choose a saucepan suitable for the quantity of food to be cooked. A large, half-empty saucepan leads to a waste of energy. 4. 6 Power levels The power in the cooking zone can be adjusted to various levels. The table shows the levels suitable for various types of cooking.

[. . . ] Sounds can be heard as if something was creaking or switching on. There is no danger to the hob or the saucepan. This is normal because the electronics need to cool down. This is for technical reasons and cannot be avoided. - There are cracks or fissures in the hob. If cracks or fissures form, or if the glass ceramic cooking surface breaks, turn off the appliance immediately. [. . . ]
