USEFULL ADVICES FOR THE CARE OF THE STAINLESS STEEL
For the cleaning and mantainance of the parts of stainless steel follow the advices written below, bearing in
mind that the first and fundamental rule is to guarantee the non toxicity and best hygiene of the dealed
products.
The stainless steel has a thin oxide coat that prevents rust formation.
But there are substances or detergents that can destroy this coat and give origin to corrosions.
Before using any detergent product ask always your dealer about which neutral detergent is the most
qualified and does not cause corrosions on the steel.
In case of scratches on the surfaces it is necessary to smooth them using thin STAINLESS STEEL wool or
an abrasive sponge in synthetic fibrous material, wiping in the direction of the satin.
WARNING
:
for the cleaning of the STAINLESS STEEL never use iron wool and never let them rest on
the surfaces because little iron deposits could remain on the surfaces and cause rust formations by
contamination and endanger the hygiene.
WASTE DISPOSAL AND DEMOLITION
WASTE STORAGE
At the end of the product life, avoid release to the environment. The doors should be removed before
disposal.
Temporary storage of special waste is permitted while waiting for disposal by treatment and/or final

the refrigerator grouping together the components according to their chemical nature. The
compressor contains lubricating oil and refrigerant, which may be recycled. The refrigerator
components are considered special waste, which can be assimilated with domestic waste.
Make the appliance totally unusable by removing the power cable and any door locking mechanisms
in order to avoid the risk of anyone being trapped inside.
DISMANTLING OPERATIONS SHOULD BE CARRIED OUT BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL.
