2. 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. Find 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. They can constitute a suffocation hazard for
children, especially the plastic bags.
Your old appliance also needs to be disposed of correctly.
Important:
deliver the appliance to your local organisation authorised to collect scrapped appliances.
Correct disposal means intelligent recycling 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 electric power cord and remove it along with the plug.
NEVER LEAVE PACKAGING RESIDUES UNATTENDED IN THE HOME. SEPARATE THE VARIOUS
WASTE PACKAGING MATERIALS BY TYPE AND CONSIGN THEM TO THE NEAREST SEPARATED
DISPOSAL CENTRE.
NOTICE TO USERS:
PURSUANT TO DIRECTIVES 2002/95/EC, 2002/96/EC, 2003/108/EC, RELATING TO THE
REDUCTION OF THE USE OF HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES IN ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC
EQUIPMENT, AND WASTE DISPOSAL, THE BARRED RUBBISH BIN SYMBOL ON THE APPLIANCE
INDICATES THAT IT CANNOT BE DISPOSED OF AS HOUSEHOLD WASTE AT ITS END-OF-LIFE.
THE USER MUST THEREFORE HAND THE PRODUCT OVER, AT ITS END-OF-LIFE, TO THE
APPLICABLE COLLECTION CENTRES FOR THE RECYCLING OF ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC
WASTE, OR RETURN IT TO THE DEALER ON PURCHASE OF ANOTHER EQUIVALENT
APPLIANCE, ON A ONE-FOR-ONE BASIS. CONSIGNING THE END-OF-LIFE APPLIANCE TO THE
APPROPRIATE COLLECTION POINT FOR RECYCLING AND ECO-COMPATIBLE TREATMENT AND
DISPOSAL PREVENTS POTENTIAL NEGATIVE EFFECTS ON THE ENVIRONMENT AND HUMAN
HEALTH, AND HELPS ENSURE THAT THE PRODUCT’S COMPONENT MATERIALS WILL BE
RECYCLED. UNLAWFUL DISPOSAL OF THE PRODUCT BY THE USER MAY LEAD TO
PROSECUTION.
