Disposal
• Observelocalenvironmentalstandardswhen
disposing packaging material for recycling purposes.
• TheEuropeanDirective2002/96/EConWaste
Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), requires
that old household electrical appliances must not be
disposed of in the normal unsorted municipal waste
stream. Old appliances must be collected separately
in order to optimise the recovery and recycling of
the materials they contain and reduce the impact
on human health and the environment. The crossed
out “wheeled bin” symbol on the product reminds
you of your obligation, that when you dispose of the
appliance it must be separately collected.
Consumers may take their old appliance to public
waste collection areas, other communal collection
areas, or if national legislation allows return it to a
retailer when purchasing a similar new product.
All major household appliance manufacturers are
active in the creation of systems to manage the
collection and disposal of old appliances.
Respecting and conserving the environment
• Installtheapplianceinafreshandwell-ventilated
room. Ensure that it is protected from direct sunlight
and do not place it near heat sources.
• Trytoavoidkeepingthedooropenforlongperiodsor
opening the door too frequently in order to conserve
energy.
•Donotfilltheappliancewithtoomuchfood:
cold air must circulate freely for food to be preserved
properly. If circulation is impeded, the compressor will
work continuously.
• Donotplacehotfooddirectlyintotherefrigerator.
The internal temperature will increase and force the
compressor to work harder and will consume more
energy.
• Defrosttheapplianceificeforms(seeMaintenance).
A thick layer of ice makes cold transference to food
products more difficult and results in increased energy
consumption.
• Regularlycheckthedoorsealsandwipecleanto
ensure they are free of debris and to prevent cold air
from escaping (see Maintenance).
