Disposal
The European directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and Elec-
tronic Equipment (WEEE), requires that old household electrical
appliances must not be disposed in the normal unsorted munici-
pal waste stream. Old appliances must be collected separately
in order to optimize the recovery and recycling of the materials
they contain and reduce the impact on human health and the
environment.
The crossed out “wheeled bin” symbol on the product reminds
you of your obligation, that when you dispose of the appliance it
must be separately collected.
Consumers should contact their local authority or retailer for in-
formation concerning the correct disposal of their old appliance.
Power Saving Tips
Install the appliance in a cool, dry room with adequate ventila-
tion. Ensure that it is not exposed to direct sunlight and never put
it near a direct source of heat (radiator, for example).
• Never block any vents or grilles on the appliance.
• Allow warm food to cool down before placing it in the appli-
ance.
• Put frozen food in the refrigerator to thaw.
You can then use the low temperatures of the frozen products to
cool food in the refrigerator.
• Do not keep the door of the appliance open for too long
when putting food in or taking food out.
The shorter the time for which the door is open, the less ice
will form in the freezer.
