SCRAPPING OLD APPLIANCES
This appliance is marked according to the
European directive 2012/19/EU on Waste
Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE).
WEEE contains both polluting substances
(which can cause negative consequences for
the environment) and basic components
(which can be re-used). It is important to have
WEEE subjected to specific treatments, in
order to remove and dispose properly all
pollutants, and recover and recycle all
materials.
Individuals can play an important role in
ensuring that WEEE does not become an
environmental issue; it is essential to follow
some basic rules:
WEEE should not be treated as household
waste.
WEEE should be handed over to the relevant
collection points managed by the municipality
or by registered companies. In many countries,
for large WEEE, home collection could be
present.
In many countries, when you buy a new
appliance, the old one may be returned to the
retailer who has to collect it free of charge on a
one-to-one basis, as long as the equipment is
of equivalent type and has the same functions
as the supplied equipment.

ENERGY SAVING
For better energy saving we suggest:
• Installing the appliance away from heat
sources and not exposed to direct sunlight
and in a well-ventilated room.
• Avoid putting hot food into the refrigerator
to avoid increasing the internal temperature
and therefore causing continuous
functionalizing of the compressor.
• Do not excessively stuff foods so as to
ensure proper air circulation.
• Defrost the appliance in case there is ice to
facilitate the transfer of cold.
• In case of absence of electrical energy, it is
advisable to keep the refrigerator door
closed.
• Open or keep the doors of the appliance
open as little as possible.
• Avoid adjusting the setting to temperatures
too cold.
• Remove dust present on the rear of the
appliance.
