nervous system and in higher doses, causes lead poisoning.

zTCO'95 requirement Permits the inclusion of lead since no replacement has yet been developed.

Cadmium

Cadmium is present in rechargeable batteries and in the colour generating layers of certain computer displays. Cadmium damages the nervous system and is toxic in high doses.

zTCO'95 requirement states that batteries may not contain more than 25 ppm (parts per million) of cadmium. The colour-generating layers of display screens must not contain any cadmium.

Mercury

Mercury is sometimes found in batteries, relays and switches. Mercury damages the nervous system and is toxic in high doses.

zTCO'95 requirement states that batteries may not contain more than 25 ppm (parts per million) of mercury. It also demands that no mercury is present in any of the electrical or electronics components concerned with the display unit.

CFCs (freons)

CFCs (freons) are sometimes used for washing printed circuit boards and in the manufacturing of expanded foam for packaging. CFCs break down ozone and thereby damage the ozone layer in the stratosphere, causing increased reception on Earth of ultraviolet light with consequent increased risks of skin cancer (malignant melanoma).

zThe relevant TCO'95 requirement: Neither CFCs nor HCFCs may be used during the manufacturing of the product or its packaging.

TCO'99-Ecological requirements for personal computers (TCO'99 applied model only)

Congratulations!

You have just purchased a TCO'99 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 also to the further development of environmentally adapted electronics products.

This product meets the requirements for the TCO'99 scheme which provides for an international environmental and quality labelling labelling of personal computers. The labelling scheme was developed as a joint effort by the TCO(The Swedish Confederation of Professional Employees), Svenska Naturskyddsforeningen(The Swedish Society for Nature Conservation), Statens Energimyndighet(The Swedish National Energy Administration) and SEMKO AB.

The requirements cover a wide range of issuse: environment, ergonomics, usability, reduction of electric and magnetic fields, energy consumption and electrical safety.

Why do we have environmentally labelled computers?

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 computers and other electronics equipment are concerned, is that environmentally harmful substances are used both in the products and during their manufacture. Since it is not so far possible to satisfactorily recycle the majority of electronics equipment, most of these potentially damaging substances sooner or later enter nature.

There are also other characteristics of a computer, such as energy consumption levels, that are important from the viewpoints of both the work (internal) and natural (external) environments. Since all methods of electricity generation have a negative effect on the environment (e.g. acidic and climate-influencing emissions, radioactive waste), it is vital to save energy.

RT19FSSS/EDC specifications

The Samsung RT19FSSS/EDC refrigerator is designed to provide an optimal refrigeration experience while combining style, efficiency, and innovative technology. This model incorporates several features that cater to modern households seeking convenience, durability, and top-notch performance.

One of the standout features of the RT19FSSS/EDC is its spacious interior, which is thoughtfully designed for maximum storage capacity. With multiple adjustable shelves and a generous freezer compartment, this refrigerator allows users to organize food items efficiently, accommodating everything from large party trays to everyday groceries. The bright LED lighting enhances visibility, making it easy to find what you need at a glance.

The RT19FSSS/EDC utilizes Samsung’s All-Around Cooling technology, which ensures that every corner of the refrigerator maintains an even temperature. This feature prevents unwanted temperature fluctuations, ultimately keeping food fresher for longer periods. Additionally, the unit boasts a Metal Cooling feature that helps retain cold air when the door is opened, contributing to overall energy efficiency.

Energy efficiency is further enhanced with the Digital Inverter Compressor. Unlike conventional compressors, which operate at a fixed speed, the Digital Inverter adjusts its cooling power based on the internal temperature, resulting in reduced energy consumption and quieter operation. This eco-friendly technology not only helps save on electricity bills but also contributes to a greener environment.

For added convenience, the RT19FSSS/EDC includes an easy-access control panel that allows users to adjust temperature settings with ease. Furthermore, the refrigerator is equipped with a door alarm that alerts users if the door is left open for too long, ensuring that food stays fresh and energy is conserved.

The design of the RT19FSSS/EDC is both elegant and functional, featuring a sleek stainless steel finish that complements any kitchen decor while also being resistant to fingerprints and smudges. Its compact size makes it suitable for various kitchen layouts, whether in a bustling family home or a cozy apartment.

In summary, the Samsung RT19FSSS/EDC refrigerator is a blend of innovation and practicality. With its advanced cooling technology, energy-efficient compressor, and spacious design, it is an excellent option for anyone seeking a reliable and stylish refrigeration solution.
