4. Environmental protection and disposal notes
The packaging is designed to protect the appliance and individual components
during transport and is made of recyclable materials.
– corrugated cardboard/cardboard (predominantly recycled paper)
– moulded polystyrene (foamed, CFC-free polystyrene)
– polyethylene bags and sheets
– polypropylene straps
• Please return the packaging material to the nearest official collection point so
that the various materials can be recycled or reused as far as possible and so
as to avoid throwing them away.
Old appliances still contain reusable materials and should not be disposed
of with household or bulk refuse.
• Disable discarded appliances immediately by removing the plug and cutting
through the connection cable.
Remove the spring-action or bolt catch from the appliance or render
it unusable so that children cannot become trapped inside and suffo-
cate.
• Ensure that the refrigerant circuit and in particular the heat exchanger on the
rear of the appliance is not damaged before the appliance that is no longer
needed is taken away for disposal. In this way the refrigerant will not escape
into the environment.
– Information concerning the refrigerant and insulating materials used can
be found on the type plate and disposal instructions on the appliance.
– Information on collection dates or collection points can be obtained from
the waste disposal authorities or local council.
