Disposal

Appliance Packaging Information

All materials are environmentally sound! They can be dumped or bur-
ned at an incinerating plant without danger!
About the materials: The plastics can be recycled and are identified as
follows:
>PE< for polyethylene, e.g. the outer covering and the bags in the
interior.
>PS< for polystyrene foam, e.g. the pads, which are all free of chloro-
fluorocarbon.
The carton parts are made from recycled paper and should be disposed
of at a waste-paper recycling collection location.

Disposal of old Appliances

For environmental reasons, refrigeration appliances must be disposed
of properly. This applies to your old appliance, and - at the end of its
service life - for your new appliance as well.
1Warning! Before disposing of old appliances make them inoperable.
Remove plug from mains, sever the power cable, remove or destroy any
snap or latch closures. This eliminates the danger that playing children
lock themselves into the appliance (danger of suffocation!) or place
themselves into other life-endangering situations.
Disposal:
•The appliance may not be disposed of with domestic waste or bulky
refuse.
•The refrigerant circuit, especially the heat exchanger at the back of
the appliance, may not be damaged.
•Information concerning collection schedules or locations can be
obtained from the local disposal authorities or town hall.
