Disposing of the packing
materials
The packing materials help protect the
appliance during transport. They have
been selected from environmentally
responsible materials and are intended
to be recycled.
By recycling, you help conserve raw
materials and reduce waste. The
packing materials can be returned to
your dealer.
Disposing of your old
appliance
Even when you are ready to dispose of
it, most electric and electronic
equipment still contains useful materials
that can be recovered. It may also
contain harmful substances that were
necessary for safe use. Improperly
disposing of these items in your
household waste can be harmful to
your health and the environment. This is
why it is important NEVER to dispose of
your old appliance in your regular
household waste.
Instead, please contact your local
community waste collection and
recycling centre for electric and
electronic appliances.
While the appliance is being
transported (or stored for transport),
please take care not to damage the
pipework at the back and bottom. By
protecting the pipework, you help keep
the coolants and compressor oil from
contaminating the environment.
If the appliance is being stored for
disposal, please make sure it poses no
danger to children (remove the door,
and store appliance on side to prevent
tipping).
