Disposal of your old
appliance
When replacing your old appliance with
a new one, please comply with the
following:
Old appliances are not worthless
rubbish! Valuable raw materials can be
reclaimed by recycling old appliances.
Render your old appliance unusable:
1. Pull out the mains plug.
2. Cut off the power cord and discard
with the mains plug.

children from locking themselves in
the refrigerator and suffocating.
Refrigerators contain refrigerants and
the insulation contains gases.
Refrigerant and gases must be disposed
of properly. Ensure that tubing of the
refrigerant circuit is not damaged prior to
proper disposal.

If refrigerant is escaping, ensure that:
– there are no naked flames or ignition
sources in the vicinity.

the room for several minutes.
• The more refrigerant an appliance
contains, the larger the room must be.
Leaking refrigerant can form a flam-
mable gas-air mixture in rooms which
are too small.
