Recommendations for the disposal
of packaging
Respect the environment when disposing of
the packaging your appliance comes
packed in.
Our products are carefully packed for
transportation. All of the material used in
our packaging is environmentally friendly
(the cardboard is manufactured from used
paper) and may be recycled.
Recycling packaging helps conserve raw
materials and reduces the amount of waste
produced in the world.
Actively help protect the environment by
disposing of packaging properly. Take it to
your nearest local council disposal point or
it may be possible to return it to your
supplier.
Recommendations for the disposal
of your old appliance
Unplug your appliance from the mains
electricity supply and cut the power cable.
Appliances of this kind include both
recyclable material, which may be used
again, and hazardous products (such as
heavy metals and liquid refrigerants), which
may pollute the soil or the atmosphere.
Actively help protect the environment by
ensuring that your old appliance is disposed
of in accordance with environmentally
friendly practices. Dispose of your appliance
at an official disposal or recycling point (ask
your local council where the nearest
disposal point is). Appliances of this kind
contain refrigerants which must be disposed
of in accordance with current regulations.

Recommendations for saving energy
Your appliance consumes energy when in use.
The consumption of energy produces an
environmental impact. Energy consumption
can be reduced enhancing the efficiency of
your appliance.
Turn your air appliance off when it is not
needed.
Select an ideal temperature; excessively
low temperatures result in high energy
consumption.
Locate your appliance away from possible
heat sources (sunlight, etc.) and in a
position with good air circulation.
Ensure that your appliance is installed
properly. The energy consumed can be cut
by up to 30% by reducing the entry of heat
into the room with awnings, blinds or
curtains on glazed surfaces.
Use the accessories supplied with your
appliance and the specific accessories
described in "Description of accessories" in
order to minimise the entry of air from
outdoors. When using accessories which
require holes to be drilled in walls or
windows, the hole should be as precise as
possible and sealed with silicon, plaster or
similar material to prevent air from flowing
through any gaps.
It is recommended that you follow the
manufacturer's instructions concerning the
air expulsion tube (see "Preparing the
appliance before use") in order to prevent
efficiency loss and unnecessary energy
consumption.
