Disposal and safety information

Notes on disposal
Old appliances still have some residual
value. An environment-friendly method
of disposal will ensure that valuable raw
materials can be recovered and used again.
Unplug your old appliance, cut through the
mains cable and throw away cable and plug
together.
Remove the door lock so that children at
play cannot become trapped inside and risk
suffocation.
The refrigerant used in fridge/freezers and
the gases in the insulation material require
special disposal procedures. Ensure that
none of the pipes on the back of the
appliance are damaged prior to disposal.
Your new appliance was protected by
adequate packaging while it was on its way
to you. All materials used for this purpose
are environment-friendly and suitable for
recycling. Please contribute to protecting the
environment by disposing of the packaging
appropriately.
Do not allow children to play with any
parts of the packaging. There is a risk of
suffocation by the cardboard boxes and
plastic wrapping.
Up-to-date information concerning options
for disposing of your old appliance and the
packaging from the new one can be obtained
from your retailer or local council office.
