Environmental Information

Packaging

All transit packaging materials are environmentally compatible and can
be reused. Wood is un-treated. 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 pure hydrocarbon
compounds and can be recycled.
The carton parts are made from recycled paper. Please dispose of the
packaging with due care for the environment.

Old Appliances

When disposing of your old appliance:
Make the appliance unusable by cutting off the cable and remove any
door catches to ensure small children cannot be trapped inside.
Help to keep your country tidy - use an authorised disposal site.

2Energy Saving Tips

•Do not install the appliance near cookers, radiators or other sources
of warmth. High ambient temperatures cause longer, more frequent
operation of the compressor.
•Ensure sufficient air circulation and exhaust at the appliance base
and at the back wall of the appliance. Never cover air vent openings.
•Do not place warm foods into the appliance. Allow warm foods to
cool first.
•Only leave door open as long as necessary.
•Do not set temperature any colder than necessary.
•Place frozen goods into the refrigerator for thawing. Cold from fro-
zen goods is thus used for cooling in the refrigerator.
•Always keep the condenser at the back of the appliance clean.
•If the interior of the appliance should be used partly, the economy
freezing space divider (special accessory) can be inserted instead of a
freezing tray. This enables additional energy saving.
