Ecologically responsible disposal
of packaging materials and old
appliances
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)
«PP» polypropylene eg packaging

By using and re-using the packaging,
raw materials are saved and waste
volume is reduced. Packaging should
be taken to your nearest recycling
centre. Contact your local council for
