Disposal
Information about the appliance packaging
Dispose of your appliance packaging properly. None of the packaging materials
used are harmful to the environment and they may be re-used.
About the materials: the plastics may also be recycled and are identified as follows:
>PE< for polyethylene e.g. in the outer casing and internal pockets.
>PS< for polystyrene foam, e.g. in padding. Essentially CFC-free.
The cardboard used is made from recycled paper and should also be put out for old
paper collection.
Disposal of old appliances
Refrigeration equipment must be properly disposed of in a way which protects the
environment. This applies to your old appliance and to your new unit once it has
reached the end of its service life.
Warning: Please ensure that old, worn appliances are rendered unusable before
disposal by removing the plug, cutting the network cable, and removing or de-
stroying any snap fastenings or bolts. You will thus prevent children from locking
themselves in the appliance during play (risk of suffocation) or endangering their lives
in any other way.
