the highest quality, which have been put through the strictest of

Quality Controls during manufacture and meticulously tested to

ensure that they meet all of your cooking demands. To make life

easier, this instructions booklet is divided up into two sections:

instructions of use and installation instructions.

We kindly ask you to read and follow these simple instructions

in order to guarantee first-class results from the very start. This

booklet contains important information not only concerning use,

but also concerning your own personal safety and maintenance of

Our products need to be carefully packed to protect them during

transportation. All the material used for packing is considered

essential for this purpose and is also completely recyclable. You

too can contribut towards protecting the environment by disposing

of this material at your nearest recyclable refuse collection point.

Do not dispose of used cooking oil down the kitchen sink. Oil may

seriously damage the environment. Dispose of it in a closed container

at your nearest collection point or, failing this, dispose of it in your

rubbish bin. Although this last solution is far from perfect, your oil

will be taken to a controlled refuse dump where it will not be allowed

to pollute water. You and your children will appreciate it.

Render your old appliance useless before disposing of it at your

nearest recyclable refuse collection centre.
