DISPOSAL INSTRUCTIONS – OUR ENVIRONMENT POLICY
Our refrigerators are only packaged using non-pollutant, environment-friendly, recyclable materials.
We urge you to
cooperate by disposing of the packaging properly. Contact your local dealer or the competent local organisations f
or
the addresses of collection, recycling and disposal facilities.
Never leave all or part of the packaging lying around. Packaging parts, and especially plastic bags, may represent
a suffocation hazard for children.
Your old appliance must also be disposed of properly.
Important:
deliver the appliance to your local organisation authorised to collect scrapped appliances. Proper
disposal allows the intelligent recovery of valuable materials. Refrigeration appliances contain gases which may
damage the enviro
nment; it is important to ensure that the refrigeration circuit pipelines are not damaged until the
competent service has taken delivery of the appliance.
Before scrapping your refrigerator it is important to remove doors and leave shelves in position as
for use, to
ensure that children cannot accidentally become trapped inside during play. Also, cut the power supply lead and
remove it and the plug.
NOTICE TO USERS:
PURSUANT TO DIRECTIVES 2002/95/EC, 2002/96/EC, 2003/108/EC, RELATING TO THE REDUCTION
OF THE USE OF HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES IN ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT,
AND WASTE DISPOSAL, THE BARRED RUBBISH BIN SYMBOL ON THE APPLIANCE INDICATES
THAT IT CANNOT BE DISPOSED OF AS HOUSEHOLD WASTE AT ITS END-OF-LIFE. THE USER
