Disposal of the packing
material
The transport and protective packing
has been selected from materials that
are environmentally friendly for
disposal, and can normally be
recycled.
Ensure that any plastic wrappings,
bags, etc., are disposed of safely and
kept out of the reach of babies and
young children. Danger of suffocation!
Rather than simply throwing these
materials away, please ensure that they
are recycled.
Disposal of your old appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances
often contain materials that, if handled
or disposed of incorrectly, could be
potentially hazardous to human health
and to the environment. However, these
materials are essential for the correct
functioning of your appliance.
Therefore, please do not dispose of
your old appliance with your regular
household waste.
Instead, contact your local community
waste collection / recycling centre to
arrange for disposal, and ensure that
there is no danger to children while the
appliance is awaiting disposal.
The appliance should be unplugged or
disconnected from the power supply by
a competent person.
Take care not to damage the pipework
at the back of the appliance before or
during transportation to an authorised
collection depot.
This will keep the refrigerant in the
pipework and the oil in the compressor,
so that they do not leak out into the
environment.
