BSH Home Appliance Corp. 2002 Litho in U.S.A. Robert Bosch Hausgeraete GmbH EN Operating instructions FR Mode d’emploi ES Instrucciones de funcionamiento Cod. 9000095597 B Dear Customer, We thank and congratulate you on your choice. This practical, modern and functional appliance has been built with top quality materials. These materials have been subjected to thorough quality control in the manufacturing process, and meticulously tested in order for this appliance to meet your every need, achieving perfect cooking. Therefore, we ask you to read and follow these simple instructions in order to guarantee unbeatable results from the first use. This manual contains important information, not only for use of the appliance, but safety and maintenance as well. During transport, our products are protected by efficient packaging materials. However, we have reduced our packaging to the bare essentials. The materials are all completely recyclable. Just like us, you can help protect the environment. To do so, we recommend you dispose of these materials in the recycling facility nearest you. Waste oil should not be poured down the sink drain, as this has a negative impact on the environment. Place it in a closed container and dispose of it at a collection point. If this is not possible, dispose of it with standard domestic waste (as it will be taken to a controlled landfill, and though this is not the best solution, at least water pollution will be avoided). Present and future generations will appreciate it. Before you get rid of an old appliance, make sure you render it inoperable. Next, deliver it to a recyclable material collection facility. Your local government can provide you with the necessary information on the nearest collection facility.
