Disposal
Appliance Packaging Information
All materials are environmentally sound! They can be
dumped or burned at an incinerating plant without
danger!
About the materials: The plastics can be recycled and
are identified as follows:
>PE< for polyethylene, e.g. the outer covering and
the bags in the interior.
>PS< for polystyrene foam, e.g. the pads, which are
all free of chlorofluorocarbon.
The carton parts are made from recycled paper and
should be disposed of at a waste-paper recycling col-
lection location.
Disposal of old Appliances
For environmental reasons, refrigeration appliances
must be disposed of properly. This applies to your old
appliance, and - at the end of its service life - for your
new appliance as well.

Warning!
Before disposing of old appli-
ances make them inoperable. Remove plug
from mains, sever the power cable, remove
or destroy any snap or latch closures. This
eliminates the danger that playing children
lock themselves into the appliance (danger of
suffocation!) or place themselves into other
life-endangering situations.
