AB2 Written Eco-document acompanying the products

Congratulations! You have just purchased a TCO'95 approved and labelled product! Your choice has provided you with a product developed for professional use. Your purchase has also contributed to reducing the burden on the environment and to the further development of environmentally-adapted electronic products.

Why do we have environmentally-labelled monitors?

In many countries, environmental labelling has become an established method for encouraging the adaptation of goods and services to the environment.The main problem as far as monitors and other electronic equipment are concerned is that environmentally harmful substances are used both in the products and during their manufacture. Since it has not been possible so far for the majority of electronic equipment to be recycled in a satisfactory way, most of these potentially damaging substances sooner or later enter Nature.

There are also other characteristics of a monitor, such as energy consumption levels, that are important from both the working and natural environment viewpoints. Since all types of conventional electricity generation have a negative effect on the environment (acidic and climate-influencing emissions, radioactive waste, etc.) it is vital to conserve energy. Electronic equipment in offices consumes an enormous amount of energy, since it is often routinely left running continuously.

What does labelling involve?

This product meets the requirements for the TCO'95 scheme, which provides for international environmental labelling of monitors. The labelling scheme was developed as a joint effort by the TCO (The Swedish Confederation of Professional Employees), Naturskyddsforeningen (The Swedish Society for Nature Conservation) and NUTEK (The National Board for Industrial and Technical Development in Sweden).

The requirements cover a wide range of issues: environment, ergonomics, usability, emission of electrical and magnetic fields, energy consumption and electrical and fire safety.

The environmental demands concern among other things restrictions on the presence and use of heavy metals, brominated and chlorinated flame retardants, CFCs (freons), and chlorinated solvents. The product must be prepared for recycling and the manufacturer is obliged to have an environmental plan, which must be adhered to in each country where the company conducts its operations policy. The energy requirements include a demand that the monitor after a certain period of inactivity shall reduce its power consumption to a lower level, in one or more stages. The length of time to reactivate the monitor shall be reasonable for the user. Labelled products must meet strict environmental demands, for example in respect of the reduction of electric and magnetic fields, along with physical and visual ergonomics and good usability.

GH17LSAS/EDC, GH17LSSS/EDC, GH17LSAN/EDC, GH17LSAB/EDC, GH17LSSN specifications

Samsung has a long-standing reputation for producing high-quality home appliances, and its range of refrigerator models, including the GH19PSAB/EDC, GH17LSANJ/EDC, GH17LSSNJ/EDC, GH17ASAB/EDC, and GH17LSSN/EDC, continues this tradition. These refrigerators are designed for efficiency, functionality, and cutting-edge technology, making them suitable for modern kitchens.

One of the standout features of these models is Samsung’s Twin Cooling Plus technology. This innovative system uses separate cooling systems for the fridge and freezer compartments, which helps maintain optimal humidity levels in the fridge while preventing freezer burn in the freezer. This preserves food freshness and enhances storage life.

The GH19PSAB/EDC model is particularly notable for its spacious interior and flexible storage solutions. It comes equipped with adjustable shelves and door bins that can accommodate various containers, ensuring that users can organize their groceries effectively. The sleek design and stainless-steel finish not only exude sophistication but also make it easy to clean.

Meanwhile, the GH17LSANJ/EDC and GH17LSSNJ/EDC models emphasize energy efficiency with their high Energy Star ratings. These refrigerators are designed to reduce electricity consumption without compromising cooling performance. This makes them an eco-friendly choice for consumers looking to minimize their carbon footprint.

The GH17ASAB/EDC model features advanced cooling functions, including Power Cool and Power Freeze options, which allow for quick temperature adjustments when necessary, such as after loading groceries. This feature ensures that the internal temperature stabilizes rapidly, preserving the freshness of stored food.

The GH17LSSN/EDC model includes smart technology capabilities, integrating Samsung's SmartThings app. This allows users to monitor and control their refrigerator's settings remotely, helping manage energy consumption and maintain optimal food storage conditions. Additionally, some models feature a digital inverter compressor that optimizes cooling performance while running at low noise levels, enhancing user experience.

In summary, Samsung's GH19PSAB/EDC, GH17LSANJ/EDC, GH17LSSNJ/EDC, GH17ASAB/EDC, and GH17LSSN/EDC refrigerators offer a perfect blend of advanced cooling technology, energy efficiency, and innovative features. These models are designed to cater to the needs of modern consumers, making them intelligent choices for anyone looking to upgrade their kitchen appliances. With their focus on maintaining food freshness and reducing energy use, these refrigerators solidify Samsung's position as a leader in home appliance innovation.
