Disposing of old
electrical devices in an
environmentally-friendly
manner
Electrical appliances contain harm-
ful substances as well as valuable
resources.
Every consumer is therefore re-
quired by law to dispose of old electrical ap-
pliances at an authorised collection or return
point. They will thus be made available for
environmentally-sound, resource-saving re-
cycling.
You can dispose of old electrical appliances
free of charge at your local recycling centre.
Contact your dealer directly for more informa-
tion about this topic.
CAUTION
Fire hazard!
Refrigerating appliances, which contain
refrigerants and gases in the cooling
systems and insulation, must be proper-
ly disposed of. Refrigerant leakage may
cause a fire hazard.
■
Until the point of proper disposal,
ensure that none of the cooling fins
or pipes on a cooling appliance are
damaged.
Risk of suffocation!
Children can become trapped in the ap-
pliance which has been thrown away
and suffocate.
■
When disposing of the appliance, en-
sure that children cannot suffocate
inside the fridge (e.g. do not remove
drawers, unscrew doors).
Our contribution to protecting
the ozone layer
100 % CFC and HFC-free refriger-
ants and foaming agents were used
in this appliance. This protects the
ozone layer and reduces the greenhouse ef-
fect.
Our packaging is made of environmental-
ly-friendly, recyclable materials:
– Outer packaging made of cardboard
– Moulded parts made of foamed, CFC-free
polystyrene (PS)
– Films and bags made of polyethylene (PE)
– Tension bands made of polypropylene (PP)
– Saving energy also protects against exces-
sive global warming. Your new appliance
uses little energy due to its environmentally
friendly insulation and technology.
If you would like to dispose of the packag-
ing, please dispose of it in an environmentally
friendly way.
