Caring for the environment

Disposal of packaging material
The packaging is designed to protect
the appliance from damage during
transportation. The packaging materials
used are selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for disposal
and should be recycled.
Ensure that any plastic wrappings,
bags, etc. are disposed of safely and
kept out of the reach of children. Return
the packaging to your dealer.
Disposing of your old appli-
ance
Electrical and electronic appliances
contain many valuable materials. They
also contain certain materials, com-
pounds, and components which were
essential for their correct functioning
and safety. These could be hazardous
to your health and to the environment if
disposed of with household trash or if
handled incorrectly. Please do not,
therefore, dispose of your old appliance
with household trash.
Follow the local regulations or the dis-
posal of appliances. Instead, please
make use of officially designated collec-
tion and disposal points to dispose of
and recycle electrical and electronic ap-
pliances. By law, you are solely respon-
sible for deleting any personal data
from the appliance prior to disposal.
Take care not to damage your refrigera-
tion appliance’s pipework before or dur-
ing transportation to an authorized col-
lection depot.
This is to ensure that coolant in the
cooling circuit and oil in the compressor
is contained, and will not leak into the
environment.
