Recycling and Disposal Information

As part of Hotpoint’s continued commitment to helping the environment, Hotpoint reserves the right to use quality, recycled 
components to keep down customer costs and minimise material wastage. 
Please dispose of packaging and old appliances carefully. To minimise the risk of injury to children, remove the door, plug, 
and cut the mains cable off flush with the appliance. Dispose of these parts separately to ensure that the appliance can no 
longer be plugged into mains socket, and the door cannot be locked shut.
