Environmental protection
Disposing of old
electrical devices in an
environmentally-friendly
manner
Electrical appliances contain harm-
ful substances as well as valuable
resources.
Every consumer is therefore re-
quired by law to dispose of old electrical ap-
pliances at an authorised collection or return
point. They will thus be made available for
environmentally-sound, resource-saving re-
cycling.
You can dispose of old electrical appliances
free of charge at your local recycling centre.
Please contact your dealer directly for more
information about this topic.
CAUTION
Fire hazard!
Cooling appliances, which contain re-
frigerants and gases in the cooling sys-
tems and insulation, have to be proper-
ly disposed of. Refrigerant leakage may
cause a fi re hazard.
■
Until the point of proper disposal,
ensure that none of the cooling fi ns
or tubes on a cooling appliance are
damaged.
Our contribution to the
protection of the ozone layer
100% CFC and HFC-free refriger-
ants and foaming agents were used
in this appliance. This protects the
ozone layer and reduces the greenhouse ef-
fect.
Our packaging is made of environmental-
ly-friendly, recyclable materials:
– Outer packaging made of cardboard
– Moulded parts made of foamed, CFC-free
polystyrene (PS)
– Films and bags made of polyethylene (PE)
– Tension bands made of polypropylene (PP)
– Saving energy also protects against exces-
sive global warming. Your new appliance
uses little energy due to its environmentally
friendly insulation and technology.
If you would like to dispose of the packag-
ing, please dispose of it in an environmentally
friendly way.
