Environmental protection
Our contribution to the
protection of the ozone layer
100% CFC and HFC-free refriger-
ants and foaming agents were used
in this appliance. This protects the
ozone layer and reduces the greenhouse ef-
fect.
Our packaging is made of environmental-
ly-friendly, recyclable materials:
– Outer packaging made of cardboard
– Moulded parts made of foamed, CFC-free
polystyrene (PS)
– Films and bags made of polyethylene (PE)
– Tension bands made of polypropylene (PP)
– Saving energy also protects against exces-
sive global warming. Your new appliance
uses little energy due to its environmentally
friendly insulation and technology.
If you would like to dispose of the packag-
ing, please dispose of it in an environmentally
friendly way.
Waste prevention
According to the provisions of Directive
2008/98/EC, waste prevention measures al-
ways take priority over waste management.
For electrical and electronic devices, waste
prevention measures include extending the
lifespan of defective devices through repair
and reselling used working appliances in-
stead of disposing of them.
Please help us reduce waste and contact our
customer service if your product is faulty.
More information can be found in the bro-
chure “Waste Prevention Programme - of the
German Government with the Involvement of
the Federal Länder”.
Disposing of old electrical
devices in an environmentally-
friendly manner
Electrical appliances contain harm-
ful substances as well as valuable
resources.
Every consumer is therefore re-
quired by law to dispose of old electrical ap-
pliances at an authorised collection or return
point. They will thus be made available for
environmentally-sound, resource-saving re-
cycling.
You can dispose of old electrical appliances
free of charge at your local recycling centre.
Please contact your dealer directly for more
information about this topic.
CAUTION
Fire hazard!
Refrigerating appliances, which contain
refrigerants and gases in the cooling
systems and insulation, must be proper-
ly disposed of. Refrigerant leakage may
cause a fi re hazard.
■
Until the point of proper disposal, en-
sure that none of the cooling fi ns or
tubes on a refrigerating appliance are
damaged.
Risk of suffocation!
Children can become trapped in the dis-
carded Freezer and suffocate.
■
When disposing of the appliance,
ensure (e.g. by unscrewing the door)
that children cannot suffocate inside
the Freezer.
