Warning and Safety instructions

Disposal of your old appliance
Children playing could become trapped in the appliance and
could suffocate.
- Remove the appliance doors.
- Remove the drawers.
- Leave the adjustable shelves in the refrigeration appliance so chil-
dren cannot climb inside.
- If your old refrigeration appliance has a door lock, destroy it. This
will prevent the risk of children playing accidentally locking them-
selves in and endangering their lives.
Risk of electric shock!
- Cut the power plug off the mains connection cable.
- Cut the mains connection cable off the old appliance.
Dispose of everything separately from the old appliance.
During and after disposal, make sure that the refrigeration appli-
ance is not placed near petrol or other flammable gases and liquids.
Risk of fire due to escaping oil or refrigerant!
The refrigerant and oil inside the appliance are flammable. In high
enough concentrations, escaping refrigerant or oil may ignite if they
come into contact with an external heat source.
During disposal, make sure that the cooling circuit is not damaged in
order to prevent refrigerant and oil escaping in an uncontrolled man-
ner (see the data plate for details of the refrigerant).
Splashes of coolant can damage the eyes. Be careful not to dam-
age any part of the pipework whilst awaiting disposal, e.g. by
- puncturing the coolant channels in the condenser,
- bending any pipework, or
- scratching the surface coating.
