2. RECYCLING INSTRUCTIONS - OUR ENVIRONMENT POLICY

Our household appliances are only packaged using non-pollutant, environment-friendly, recyclable materials. Please help by disposing of the packaging correctly. Find the addresses of collection, recycling and disposal centres from your retailer or from the competent local organisations.

Never leave all or part of the packaging lying around. They can constitute a suffocation hazard for children, especially the plastic bags.

Your old appliance also needs to be disposed of correctly.

Important: deliver the appliance to your local organisation authorised to collect scrapped appliances. Correct disposal means intelligent recycling of valuable materials. Refrigeration appliances contain gases which may damage the environment; it is therefore important to ensure that the refrigeration circuit pipelines are not damaged until the competent service has accepted delivery of the appliance. Before disposing of your appliance it is important to remove doors and leave shelves in position as for use, to ensure that children cannot accidentally become trapped inside during play. It is also necessary to cut the electric power cord and remove it along with the plug.

NEVER LEAVE PACKAGING RESIDUES UNATTENDED IN THE HOME. SEPARATE THE VARIOUS WASTE PACKAGING MATERIALS BY TYPE AND CONSIGN THEM TO THE NEAREST SEPARATED DISPOSAL CENTRE.

UNLAWFUL DISPOSAL OF THE PRODUCT BY THE USER MAY LEAD TO PROSECUTION.
