Ice and frost layers increase energy consumption, so it is
recommended to clean the appliance when the thickness
of these layers is between 3 and 5mm. If it occurs in the
outdoor condenser, check that the rear wall is free of dust
and impurities.

The interior of the refrigerator should not be lined with
aluminum foil, wax paper or paper napkins. These linings
interfere with the circulation of cold air, making the device

10.DISPOSAL
Old units still have some residual value. An
environmentally friendly method of disposal will
ensure that valuable raw materials can be
recovered and used again. The refrigerant used in your
unit and insulation materials require special disposal
procedures. Ensure that none of the pipes on the
back of the unit are damaged prior to disposal. Up to
date information concerning options of disposing of
your old unit and packaging from the new one can be
obtained
from
your
local
council
office.
When disposing of an old unit break of any old locks or
latches and remove the door as a safeguard.
The european directive to 2002/96/EC on wasted electrical and
electronic equipments (WEEE), requires that household
electrical appliances must not be disposed of in the normal
unsorted municipal waste stream. 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
disposed of the appliances, it must be separately collected.
Consumers should contact their local authority or retailer for
information concerning the correct disposal of their old
appliance.
