RECYCLING INSTRUCTIONS - OUR ENVIRONMENT POLICY
Our household appliances are only packaged using non-pollutant, environment-friendly, recyclable
materials. Please help by disposing of the packaging correctly. You can obtain the addresses of
collection, recycling and disposal centres from your retailer or from the competent local
organisations.
Never leave all or part of the packaging lying around.
Your old appliance also needs to be disposed of correctly.
Important: deliver the appliance to the local agency authorised for the collection of household
appliances no longer in use.
Correct disposal enables intelligent recovery of valuable materials. Refrigeration appliances contain
gases which may damage the environment; it is therefore important to ensure that the refrigeration
circuit pipelines are not damaged until the competent service has accepted delivery of the appliance.
Before disposing of your appliance it is important to remove doors and leave shelves in position as
for use, to ensure that children cannot accidentally become trapped inside during play. It is also
necessary to cut the connecting cable to the power supply network, removing it along with the plug.
NEVER LEAVE DISCARDED PACKAGING UNATTENDED IN THE HOME. SEPARATE THE
VARIOUS WASTE PACKAGING MATERIALS BY TYPE AND CONSIGN THEM TO THE NEAREST
SELECTIVE WASTE COLLECTION CENTRE.
INFORMATION FOR USERS:
Pursuant to Directives 2002/95/EC, 2002/96/EC and 2003/108/EC relating to the reduction of the use
of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic appliances, as well as to the disposal of refuse,
the crossed out bin symbol on the appliance indicates that the product, at the end of its useful life,
must be collected separately from other refuse. Therefore, the user must consign the product that
has reached the end of its working life to the appropriate selective collection centres for electrical and
electronic refuse, or deliver it back to the retailer when purchasing an equivalent product, on a one
for one basis. Adequate selective collection for the subsequent forwarding of the decommissioned
product to recycling, treatment and ecologically compatible disposal contributes to avoiding possible
negative effects on the environment and on health and promotes the recycling of the materials of
which the appliance consists. The illicit disposal of the product by the user results in the application
of administrative sanctions.
