Packaging materials
Electrolux microwave ovens require
effective packaging to protect them
during transportation. Only the
minimum packaging necessary is
used. Packaging materials (e.g. foil or
styrofoam) can place children at risk.
Danger of suffocation. Keep
packaging material away from
children.
All packaging materials used are
environment friendly and can be
recycled. The cardboard is made from
recycled paper and the wooden parts
are untreated. Plastic items are
marked as follows:
«PE» polyethylene eg packaging film
«PS» polystyrene eg packaging (CFC-
free)

By using and re-using the
packaging, raw materials are saved
and waste volume is reduced.

nearest recycling centre. Contact your
