2. INSTRUCTIONS FOR DISPOSAL – OUR ENVIRONMENTAL CARE
Our household appliances are only packaged using non-pollutant, environment-friendly, recyclable
materials. Please help by disposing of the packing correctly. Find the addresses of collection, recycling
and disposal centres from your retailer or from the competent local organisations.
Never leave all or part of the packaging lying around.
Your old appliance also needs to be disposed of correctly.
Important: deliver the appliance to the local agency authorised for the collection of household appliances
no longer in use.
Correct disposal means intelligent recycling of valuable materials. Refrigeration appliances contain
gases which may damage the environment; it is therefore important to ensure that the refrigeration
circuit pipelines are not damaged until the competent service has accepted delivery of the appliance.
Before disposing of your appliance 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. It is also necessary
to cut the interconnecting cable to the power supply network, removing it along with the plug.
DO NOT DISCARD PACKING IN THE HOME ENVIRONMENT. SEPARATE THE VARIOUS WASTE
MATERIALS AND TAKE THEM TO THE NEAREST SELECTIVE WASTE COLLECTION CENTRE.
INFORMATION FOR USERS:
Pursuant to Directives 2002/95/EC, 2002/96/EC and 2003/108/EC relating to the reduction of the use of
hazardous substances in electrical and electronic appliances, as well as to the disposal of refuse. The
crossed out bin symbol on the appliance indicates that the product, at the end of its useful life, must be
collected separately from other refuse. Therefore, the user must consign the product that has reached
the end of its working life to the appropriate selective collection centres for electrical and electronic
refuse, or deliver it back to the retailer when purchasing an equivalent product, on a one for one basis.
Adequate selective collection for the subsequent forwarding of the decommissioned product to recycling,
treatment and ecologically compatible disposal contributes to avoiding possible negative effects on the
environment and on health and promotes the recycling of the materials of which the appliance consists.
The illicit disposal of the product by the user results in the application of administrative sanctions.
